fwiw i prefer not using javascript. i wouldn't want it to be necessary for a visitor to navigate my site. i personally use noscript on firefox.
i remember back in the punbb days some in the community didn't care much for javascript...

Not awesome? It rocks!
Seeing the documentation popping up on the screen as you type is very practical. That's the killer feature.
the only thing at the moment i don't like about netbeans is that it's written in java. :p the ui doesn't fit well with the system theme. such as on centos when you hover over something you want to select it whites out and you can't see the text. looks kind of crappy. it's also terribly slow to start up on windows and linux. but for the moment netbeans is good enough for me. if geany had the ability to split windows and had a subversion plugin like netbeans then i would switch to that.
one good thing about text editors and ides, there's plenty of them to choose from.
i use gvim for really large text files.

oh wow, i remember now. i joined about a month after you.
totally off topic, when did you first hear about pun (flux)? i was reading about 30 days of php hacks (a hack a day i believe) and the site that was doing this was using punbb as their forum. i was like, if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me.
thanks again for the db tip.
#7 Re: FluxBB discussion » where can i learn more about $db->object » 2008-11-02 16:01:29
- eric235u
ok. so i can just use $db-> and follow it with one of the functions listed in the db layer. cool.
now what about $forum_db->query('...')? where is this in the core? is it better to use one of the other?
thanks again.

i'm going to be using it. i know flux and can do it but was wondering if anybody else here is using postgre?
i'm also concerned with mention of a possible exploit. anybody know about this?

thanks for any info.
please don't turn this into a mysql vs postgre flame war. i like both databases very much.

there is no fluxbb in this list
true. you have to click on best new project, which unfortunately doesn't change the uri. nevertheless, it's really cool to see flux in the finals.

Yes. iPhone users make up a miniscule part of the 'market', though.
my cell phone runs linux and has opera for a browser. if you set it next to an iphone you can hear steve jobs scream "i'm a drm loving bitch" and the iphone flips over butt up.
no tables huh? sounds fun. take your time releasing 1.3. 1.2.x works fine and the beta's plenty good for hackin' around.
// later edit. this post looks okay on a razr2.

FluxBB v1.3-beta is usable but not for a large production environment unless you're well aware of what you're doing.

hi.
i have just upgraded a punbb 1.2.14 to fluxbb 1.2.18 and it worked flawlessly. 1.2.18 is the current stable release. see http://fluxbb.org/downloads/
you won't lose your data.
remember to back up your data and forum directory prior to any update.
good luck.

i'm using the latest 1.3 development release. i figured since we can already use simple http get parameters i would take advantage of this. the guy currently has a website with about ten static html pages. it's a pain for him to update. so i thought it would be fun to use flux as a kind of backend to the database. like if he updated a particular post it would change the front page on his site. for a tie in i'm not sure yet. i haven't started writing anything yet. just poking around. this is probably a good time to learn about hooks!

Java or Java script ?, compiled java can be just as fast as as any other compiled code, dont make the mistake of confusing Javascript running in an applet, the same as java, they are 2 different things
Applets have nothing to do with Javascript...

i haven't had time to develop anything yet in python but i have read through the docs and played around on terminal. very neat and powerful.

hi all.
i'm trying to use fluxbb as a backend way to display content. the person i'm making a website for needs a simple way to update his website. so i was thinking use flux to store the data and use syndication to update his otherwise static html pages. i'm currently reading through the wiki and playing around with some code. i would like to show an entire post by post id. (similar to the old punbb main page.) any suggestions?
many thanks!
