Re: [RFC|Accepted] Coding Guideline Modifications

Then why not just return null; ? At the same time, wouldn't t be better to return early. Eg. /** * @param string $str * @return null|string */ function test_returns($str = '') { if(!$str) { return null; } else { return $str; } } Instead of /** * @param string $str * @return null|string */ function t...

Re: [RFC|Accepted] Coding Guideline Modifications

I didn't see anything in here about return always returning something.
So I am bringing it up.

The old code base has a lot of return; in it.
It would be better if it always returned something return true;

phpBB3 Reractoring

Last week I was working on something in phpBB3 and started looking through the core and structure. Once I was done with the project I was working on I started a fresh copy and went to it with changes that have been in the back of my mind for a while. I was working on a master branch copy as I didn't...

Display - Hook/filter

I'm sure this is nothing new and is probably even in the plan already. These are just my thoughts. I've been playing with something so I can demonstrate how I think the OOP phpBB as far as displaying and hooking into those displays. By displaying I mean anything from posts, to profiles, to profile f...

Re: [RFC] Include and use jQuery

If this is not going to be in the style itself then there needs a way to over write it from the style, so that say, if your version is not what I want I can over ride it and phpBB's is not loaded.
Keep that in mind please. ;)

Re: Plugin code integration with core

On the WordPress note, their plug-ins do not go through any kind of validation like phpBB Mod teams do. Their requirements are very basic at best, the readme file and the comment at the top of the main plug-in file which is what the Admin Plug-in page shows for info about the plug-in itself. The rea...

Re: Mobile browser support

As a note, if not mentioned, almost all recent smart phone browsers have HTML browser support. Most include CSS3 support with exception of Windows mobile of coarse, unless the user uses an alternative browser which is smart from the word Go! Anyway, CSS3 support minimizes the need for scripts etc......
