Re: How will Symfony integration really work

Open ended redirection after login could be a potential security issue. The referer could leak the session id, so at the very least we'd want to limit it to relative URLs.

Yes, this is a big issue. Before redirecting you'd need to inspect any return Url string parameter by passing it to a Uri ...

Re: How will Symfony integration really work

That is the most informative post I've read in a while. Could you see there just being a new redirect function added in the future, or maybe just modify one of the existing ones? Right now phpBB uses hidden fields to determine where to send a user after logging in. PhpBB also currently keeps track ...

How will Symfony integration really work

Symfony integration is a big deal right now. With good reason seeing as how much demand there is for it. I am just curious if Symfony intgegration is going to work the same as integrating PhpBB sessions into your site currently work.

We can incorporate PhpBB sessions into our site, and have an ...

Re: Biggest competition threats to PHPBB forums

Actually, +1/like should be a core feature. It's not just "retards" who want it, "liking" posts is huge for encouraging interaction in the forums and making people actually want to post, which is the dream of every admin.

Just because you're stuck in 2003 doesn't mean every new feature makes a ...

Re: New Admin redesign, see pic for draft, idea

Edit: At the time of writing you are 4th for phpbb flat design , which shows how much phpbb lacks in taking part of this design trend :)
Applying it to everything because it's a hot trend is a bad idea. Personally I think the admin panel looks pretty good and doesn't need 'flattening'. This ...

Re: New Admin redesign, see pic for draft, idea

have not looked at the html for this but I would say the biggest plus for something like this would be for cleaning up and refactoring the none semantic code that is truncated in all phpbb theme files.

That was exactly my point. I wasn't trying to take away from the OP. I just didn't see how ...

Re: New Admin redesign, see pic for draft, idea

Why not just update the current admin panel making slight modifications to the design and using css3 in all the places images are used to accomplish what css couldn't when it was designed? That would at least be an update.
Which is just what he did?
He changed a bunch of CSS lines (300) and some ...

Re: New Admin redesign, see pic for draft, idea

How is this getting so much attention? It's some colored boxes with a few icons thrown in. I don't see how this provides any improvement to the current admin theme. Is this thing even semantic? It is the same design but with colored boxes. Why not just update the current admin panel making slight ...
