[phpwsbb] phpwsBB v1.0.4 beta

[Shaun M. <sh...@ae...>]

I've just had a mega-commit to sourceforge of all the changes I've  
been working on the last month or two off and on. Seemed an apt time  
to tidy up and commit them since the natives were getting restless.

The v1.0.4 in cvs now has the following new features:-

* Restricted access forums
Let's you select which groups can view and post to a forum. It's  
rudimentary but works. Oh for proper permissions...
I was unsure if the restricted forums should be listed or not. It was  
easier to list them than filter them out. If people have an objection  
to that then that'll have to change. See how you feel though.

* Views
Records how many times a thread has been viewed. This can be switched  
on/off and can use LOW_PRIORITY updates on MySQL

* Re-routing
When a user tries to do something they need to be logged in for, it  
presents them with the login form and then re-routes back to the page  
they intended to use when they log in. eg. if trying to reply to a  
message when not logged in. Hopefully the flow is better for users.

* Previewing posts before saving/posting

* Category view
Why not? I would however like to know how to link to a category in  
CategoryView instead of fatcat. AFAICT there isn't a simple method.  
Seems odd having two different category views so close together..

* Interface changes
Couple of new icon images and minor template tweaks. Menus jiggled a  
little.



Since it's a lot of changes, I'd appreciate some testing. In theory  
it's all working (or it does for me anyway).

There's still at least one thing to change before I'm happy and  
that's the 'Latest Posts' box which will list the titles of private  
forum threads even if you've no access. You can click on them but you  
get a 'Sorry....' message instead. Shouldn't be too tricky but I've  
not done that yet.

I also want to spend some time investigating better parseInput/Output  
and BBCode before a release. There's some bizarre behaviour  
occasionally. I think that's all in core/Text.php though. Backporting  
fallout's routines might be the best bet as that ditches the horrible  
PEAR BBCode class and uses a cutdown of the parser from http:// 
corz.org/devblog/

Re: [phpwsbb] phpwsBB v1.0.4 beta

[Gregory M. <bli...@us...>]

I finally had some time to test.  Here's what I discovered:

1) Eloi recently commited changes to use the core's ImgLibrary and not
the ImgLibrary that shipped with phpwsbb.  He also only removed *part*
of it.  The ImgLibrary did not become part of the core until 0.10.0
and phpwsbb's current minimum version is 0.9.3-4.  That means
install.php, update.php and the install doc need to be updated to
reflect this new minimum version. The project site will also need
updating when the new version is released.  In addition, Eloi forgot
to remove class/ImgLibrary.php and the imglib directory, so there is a
bit more housecleaning to do.

2) uninstall.php still has code to remove the phpwsbb from the search
module for core version less than 0.9.3-2.  Is that still needed?

3) When installing the latest CVS, I get:
Notice: Undefined variable: /var/www/mod/help/class/CLS_help.php on line 32=
4
Notice: Undefined variable: /var/www/mod/help/class/CLS_help.php on line 32=
6
Notice: Undefined variable: /var/www/mod/help/class/CLS_help.php on line 32=
4
Notice: Undefined variable: /var/www/mod/help/class/CLS_help.php on line 32=
6

4) The help balloons have "reccomend" instead of "recommend" in a few spots=
.

5) When I save a forum or post a message, the title of the phpwsbb box
disappears.  It has probably always been that way, but should it
really be that way?

6) I feel that restricted forums should not be listed.  My 2 cents...

7) "Last post" is shown as 1140496202 instead of in the phpwebsite date for=
mat.

8) Previewing a post with a message quote has a strange output... can
this be polished?

9) Viewing a thread in a restricted forum with a non-diety user that
IS part of the group with rights gets the "sorry, no access" message.=20
Viewing the forum is fine.

10) Quoting a message which is quoting a message misbehaves.  The two
quotes are incorrectly lumped into one quote.

I better stop there (for now) before I get shot.  This will be a good
release once we get the quirks fixed.  This release will win over a
few haters.  ;-)

Keep up the good work.
