Development Discussion Board

I've found one extension, Individual posts per page isn't compatible (not unexpected) There are a few extensions that needs to be updated with those "quote marks". Board3 portal is lots of work :lol: There are also a few extensions that have routing.yml files with syntax like: pattern: /x...

So is it more precise to say that post.forum_id is the forum where the post was originally made and topic.forum_id is the forum where the post currently resides? I have always used topic.forum_id, but I think that here are a few places in extensions (and even core code) that assume that post.forum_i...

The phpBB database has a forum_id field in the posts table as well as a forum_id field in the topics table. I would like clarification as to whether this is an intended part of the design, or just an historical artefact? Is there any intended scenario where the post and its topic will have different...

Released styles get a demo page on this site, e.g.: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/we_universal/demo/3.1 which works as intended. The phpBB 3.2.x versions of that style changed the way that the header image is rendered, it is no longer defined in the .css, but is defined directly in the ht...

One interesting question, after upgrade to a version of phpBB not supporting passworded forums, what will happen to existing passworded forums?

If you push load management to the application, by the time it starts checking whether the request should be served, a hundred different PHP files have already been loaded, a connection to the database has been established, a dozen different tables have already been queried and ~40% of the work req...

The existing phpBB server load management system is rubbish, at least for the purpose of maintaining the best service for users while the server load is high. My main forum recently had an episode of server overloading which from log analysis seems to have been caused by an overly aggressive search ...

Thanks for the information and links. I will do some more reading. If SVGs served as images are not a security threat, am I correct in thinking that the non-support of the image/svg+xml mime type by phpBB (for display as an in-line image) is only becausse no-one has got around to implementing it yet?

If disabling of external svg images in the s9e formatter turns out to be difficult, it is also possible to catch the links later at the point of the 'core.page_footer_after' event, which is where the camo image proxy extension modifies external image links with http:// addresses. A bit ugly doing it...

they actually need to be allowed as we move forward as we are working to convert all images we use to allow SVG versions, ie icons, rank images, imagesets, etc. Since our main mechanic for sharing is through attachments on .com. We should implement something as you point out. SVG code is actually v...
