PostPosted: Tue Dec 16, 2003 9:11 pm    Post subject: Well this blows... [quote]

I have to program an entire forum for this company I made a site for. Apparently phpBB doesn't allow you to hide forums from everyone except members of a certain group (not admin or mods, but just a user group). So.. since this is a very big deal, I have to make my own forum in php.

So uh.. this really blows, since I may not get Nuclear Minds done on time now. God damn it.

Luckily you are free to modify phpBB and even distribute your own version (though this is not necesary in this case), because of its GPL license. phpBB already has groups and includes some forum hiding rules, and extending those to fit your needs should be a hell of a lot easier than to program your own board.

I've modified this board a bit as well. It has an (in my opinion) superior way to keep track of which user has read which thread when, to be able to display which messages are new. Also, this template includes some stuff that wouldn't be possible without modifying some PHP code, like names linking to profile.

Ouch, man. That's... Ouch.
I can't help ya; I have NO knowledge of any web-based language...
Oh, and about the compo...
Well... I dunno, Nminds didn't sound like a game too many people would play-- Come on dude, kill bush before he nukes everyone?
I'm sorry...
But it doesn't make people want to play it... I mean, it just reeks of some 12 year old's idea-- "Oh, I'll make an rpg about killing a political figure! Everyone'll LOVE it!"
...Did... Razor think it up...?

I thought of it, and everyone I've talked to (over 30) desperately wants to play this game.

Everyone hates Bush. You should understand that.

Of course I hate bush...
But come on, do you know how many shitty indie-rpgs use a simmilar plot and aren't funny... At all. It just shows how utterly uncreative they are, and just... Kinda stupid. Now hang on, I'm not saying NM will be that way, I'll probably play it to see for myself... But still, probably the reason those 30+ year olds liked the idea is that they're not involved in the indie community- They have no idea how many horribly un-funny and just plain bad political rpgs there are out there.

I think phpBB allows you to hide a forum to any other members but the members of the group BlaBla1

You should change your avatar to a bandaged hand then.

Tough luck to brake your hand. How did you do it? Slipped on the ice? I have slipperly slooped two times yet. Not broken anything yet thought, but my back aches. :{.

That back ache is your body telling you to keep inside.

Damn, I don't think I can finish this forum on time. Anyone know where I can find a mod to do what I'm trying to accomplish?

Why don't you just use IBF or Yabb instead?
