I'm in the process of porting this to work with phpBB3 - but it's going kinda slow since I'm not TOO familiar with the phpBB3 code. I've got it kind of working but I'm kinda stuck in the process of having it convert BBCode. Anyone interested in helping me along with the port? You can see what I've got working so far:

Managed to get the BBCode working... and am almost done fixing a few other things with it. Might have a beta of the ported code for phpBB3 by the end of the week... stay tuned!

Here's the ported code... it doesn't all work yet, but for the most part it's functional - or at least to the point I needed. If you post your issues here, I may be able to correct any issues you might have.

I am almost positive that if you enable posting comments in the blog and not through the forum that won't work. Bad idea in my opinion anyway.

Dude, that is seriously cool. I'll sticky this topic.

Just made a few changes/fixes to the code... Anyone who downloaded it may want to grab it again. Changes made to:

blog.php
comment.php
index.php
settings.php

Basically I changed the way the text was processed, to be more in line with the code in viewtopic.php (which meant I needed to include additional files in settings.php). I also changed the charset to UTF-8 because some things weren't displaying properly (bullets, cent sign, etc).

I don't think smilies are working, and I'm not sure why, but I am working on it.

What's that .index.php.fwp file?

Thanks for this! I think there is something funny with the smiley url code though. Check this:
http://www.experimentalistsanonymous.com/blog/?permalink=1810
vs
http://www.experimentalistsanonymous.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1810

Note that the smiley image is dead on the blog post. The URL has the absolute path to the directory... on my host my web site is contained in the folder hsphere/local/home/coraffel/experimentalistsanonymous.com/, so but experimentalistsanonymous.com/board really goes to hsphere/local/home/coraffel/experimentalistsanonymous.com/board, but the updated version of the blog mod includes the extra stuff giving a dead image. I'm not sure what the change made was, and it's not that big of a deal, but just an FYI.

Thank you very much for getting this project started! I'll be making major modifications to fit this to my site (as I've done with phpbblog and phpbb2).

if it's okay with everyone, I'll post the smiley fix up when I get to it (as I want to have it working on my site as well).

Any chance anyone's made any updates to these files? I'm getting ready to see if this mod is working with phpbb3 and just wanted to be sure. Very Happy

EDIT: Got it up and running as far as I needed, which was posting topics as news on a separate page, so thank you for porting this! It seems that the RSS feed is malfunctioning though, neither Firefox nor IE7 like the feed. Anyway to shut it off?

Thank you! It works. The link will disappear. This is only a test.

Anyone ever get the smilies to work? Or the RSS feed? Just wanted to check - as I'm planning on playing around with the code again to resolve these issues and just want to be sure I'm not beating my head for something someone else has already done.

I need the RRS...

moonchilddave · Drive-By Poster Joined: 08 Sep 2008 Posts: 6

Finally got the smilies and RSS feed working... The download link in the first post will grab the updated version. Let me know of any other problems with the code.

Thank you! I'll try it in a week or two.

This tutorial has instructions for installing Apache, PHP, MySQL and running phpBB3 on a localhost, a server which runs on your computer. Using phpBB3 on your localhost can speed up development of your Web site or MODs. Development and MOD installations on a localhost do not require the repetitive cycle of FTP uploads since the entire production is on one computer. In addition, a localhost offers the opportunity to detect and prevent errors before your site is deployed live, thus decreasing downtime for the Web site and server.
