This forum's script

hey, I have used this forum for a while and now that I wanted to upgrade from the version I have to the one you have which seem to have a lot more options that I am looking for... I was wondering if you possible could help me out by sending me the script to me? electrifiedpenguin.com is down and don't seem to be coming back... ?

I have hacked it a bit, and it really isn't release ready at the moment. It is on my list to clean it up and then host it in cvs for others towork on and grab....

Hacked it up a bit? Well now, there is an understatement if I ever heard one

Matt,

Is users online count is feature which originally came up with this forum script or you made it up...?

Something I made...

swede, I have the original zip package of electrifiedForum 1.70 and I can email it to you if you give me your email address. But it won't have any of the modifications Matt has made.

tkarkkainen,
Can I have the zip file? I too wanted to find out the script of this forum...
Email : subhash@vplanetworks.com

thanks. use this email
r1swedie@hotmail.com
thanks a bunch!

I too have modified this forum's script quite a bit. I thought you had a newer version.

can you confirm that the original author of this forum script has stopped working on it?

I have myself added Email Notifications, Moderatorship and Banning of people. I have ugly coding but it works. LOL

Do you have it so that a user can choose to keep login and password saved in the browser so there is no need to login again at a later time?

Yes, I sent it to you too.



I won't confirm that... The site has been down before.



No, this is not a feature of the original version, but it's not too difficult to add.

tkarkkainen,

Got it man! Thanks a lot for it....

Could you maybe mention to me what need to be changed or added. do I have to add my own cookies to the header file(s)?

Well, what I would do is:

- add the cookie checkbox to the login form function
- the function that does the actual login would check if it is checked and would then save the username and password to cookie.
- htmlstart() function in your realm file - just add a code that checks the following:

if not logged in, check if cookies are set. If they are do the login with that information


Got it?

gotcha! very simple.

I am having issues with it.. (same person as before, but I have not been able to work on it until now).

I try to set the cookie inside the login() function in funcs.user.php but I of course get the Cannot blah blah Header blah error. How did you do it? Maybe you can post up a little sample please?

thanks

Actually I haven't done that yet... but I think I know what the problem is if the error is "Cannot send header information. Headers already sent."

This means you must move all your header-related code to the top of index.php where output isn't started yet. I just didn't remember it when I told you to do that.
