10:02 am - PhpBB [BETA] Facebook Connect

PhpBB [BETA] Facebook Connect

If you use phpbb you need to check it out here

.
Tried it out on their test forum and it worked a treat. The beta is availible for download but should not be used on live sites (should be finished in a couple of days).

Create new user upon first login (and transfer data like location, website, birthday, interests, avatar, signature, facebook's proxy mail address..)
Link an existing user to the Facebook account upon first login (with data transfer for all fields which the user hasn't filled out yet)
Automatically add (mutual) friends upon first login, if any of your facebook friends have also an user account on your forum.
Automatically detect the user's Facebook language, and use it if it is installed on your forum!
Allow forum notifications via Facebook PM (since an e-mail address can not be fetched via Facebook for privacy reasons)

Although not supported it should take many tweeks to get it to work with the Social Networking Buttons Mod

11:45 am - Rabbitoshi Hack? & Free Skins
Neskaya.Net has a few cute and free phpBB3 skin themes if anyone is interested.

Anyway, I wanted to ask - is there a version of Rabbitoshi (or some other pet hack) that works in phpBB3? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. :)

11:42 am - newbie help needed
Hi,

I'm in the middle of attempting to install a phpbb2 forum to my website www.lollymj.com. I've gotten as far as needing to install the forum. I get stuck when making the database. I am totally confused when making the database because it's not as simple as creating a new database and telling the phpbb2 install the name, is it?

Can a newbie get a little help? phpMyAdmin is what I'm using to create the databse.

Thanks SO much.

10:39 pm - PHPBB Style Request
Is there someone here, or anyone you know that is decent with graphics?

I'm putting together a new forum. I'm modding the heck out of phpbb trying to make some uber-badass forum software. But I need a good theme/style for the forum. I really like Charcoal3Steel, and that is what I most often use.

However, I'd like to have something a bit more customized and unique. I can slap on a cheesy logo with Photoshop, but perhaps someone with a little more skill can help me out.

Honestly, I'm looking for something more along the lines of this.

Charcoal3Steel is nice, but it is a bit monochromatic. The above linked style has better contrast, and better depth. The page doesn't look as flat.

If you can help me out, I'll be extremely grateful!

Thanks!

02:17 pm - A simplest and effective way to stop spam :)
No captcha, no complex verification, etc. Just enable "multipart/form-data" enctype in posting form and do a check for this content type in your posting handler.

[code removed because it really works] :)

Ok. I'm not sure if this is allowed here, but I think i've tried everything and I just can not do it. I'm not so great with phpbb, but I seriously, deeply need help, or i'll even PAY someone to do it for me, --- I just need the attachments mod installed. And It's sooooo complicated (in my eyes) even though I read everywhere it's a great mod and everything. I need it for users to submit files ,and then have the ability to view them using the mod "ezDownloads".

Again if this isn't allowed, please, just let me know and i'll delete.
Thanks.

Hiya,

If anyone is interested in checking out the new PhpBB3 beta without actually installing it themselves, I've got it on my server here. Feel free to join and check out all the cool new features. :3

(I cannot WAIT for stable releases to come out of this version of phpBB! *fangirl squee*)

01:42 pm - a php archive? I need your help/input/advise
x-posted

I've created a site hoping to archive php coded forums from the world wide web. This way an internet surfer can login and search categorized listings of forums so they can easily find what they're looking for.

Since there are thousands of php coded forums of all different content, I'd like to set up categories and list them under it.

unfortunately I know very little php. I know how to implement MODS into my forums and that's just about it.

Here's the site I'm working on. http://phpforumarchive.com/

Any suggestions or anyone willing to help? I am sure this will be a decent site when completed and people (internet surfers) will probably use it frequently. Forum owners will like it because of the free advertising they get for their site.

I know html, some javascript, no php beyond pre written MODS that show you how to instal them. MySQL? Forget it.

Tell me I'm in over my head.

06:49 am - Killing spambots & other known malicious hosts
I've found the best way to reduce the amount of faux-users appearing in your userlist (like poker, with a url pointing to poker.com or whatever) is to block them from your entire site - not just with phpbb but everywhere. This is easily done with .htaccess.

Place the following in your .htaccess file (assuming you have mod_rewrite turned on in apache). This will prevent known spammers (such that are infecting your memberlist) from accessing your site.

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On

Okay, I'm new to the community *wave* I've had my phpbb board for almost a year, and it's pretty small, never gotten much traffic.

Then, a few weeks ago, all of a sudden my board got flooded with fake accounts like "texas holdem" and "poker" and the like. One of the fellow admins turned on Admin activation, so they can't post without our okay, but they keep making new accounts like every day. It's kind of baffling, since my site has little traffic and has nothing to do with gambling or ringtones or that nonsense.

Is there anything else I can do? I've disabled all the names I can think of, but how do I know their IPs to ban them (they're not online when I am)? Can I disable the domain email they're using? can I disable new account creation altogether until they get tired and go elsewhere?

This has been going on for too long and is driving me nuts. Please, if you can, help.
