Development Discussion Board

it seems that the "snapshot" thingy is no more.
instead, you can do what you could always do, which is to get yourself a cvs client and pull the stuff from sourceforge.
read the following page carefully, and most things should become clear:

you can.
unfortunately, its a one-way lock: even if you locked your thread yourself, only a moderator can unlock it.

it's not exactly "counted". what it is, is the size of the field in the database that holds it (or rather, "fields", as it exists both in the post table and in the topic table). it is simple enough to raise the limit from 60 to prety much anyting you want. to request that the special characters (suc...

no it doesnt.
what it does, is limit the length of a subject title.
i would guess that since each quote (") becomes something like ", it's counted as 6 chars rather than 1, so a title containing quotes can not be as long as a title without them.

its not related to the cvs gui you use. it really stems from the way the "snapshots" are built. i guess you started with a snapshot... the snapshot files contain CVS directories, and the Root file contains: :ext:psotfx@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/phpbb instead of :pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sf.net/cvsroot/phpbb...

:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpbb
password empty. from command line you can also use

We are currently in the process of doing a rewrite of EasyMOD. This is why there haven't been any updates to the current release of EasyMOD. There probably won't be a public release until we are ready for beta which will mean that most of the features that we want to be included in EasyMOD are done...

i know, i know, "its not finished", "dont report bugs" etc. etc. still, its a single line fix, and it will make this board more useable. (i did save a draft and was a little irked when it didnt load... :o ) in posting.php, please replace $_POST['message'] = strtr($row['draft_message'], array_flip(ge...

ok, i'll try one last time. the vast majority of phpbb users (ie, people who operate phpbb sites) do not have (and do not want) access to the cvs repository. they rely on the "official realease" to update their site. otoh, its a fair assumption that the hacker "community" do actually look at the cvs...

That woulnd't make sense. phpBB would be becoming closed source if the devs would do such things. beg to differ. in all the previous releases (well, i dont know about "all". let's say at least since 2.0.13, and probably before that) the cvs repository was only updated when the new release was made ...
