Development Discussion Board

It looks like things are getting a bit heated here. There is no need to resort to passive aggressive comments towards each other.

The reasoning that people should only make basic replies on a phone is absurd. I've already demonstrated some relatively minor changes which greatly improve the full editor mobile posting experience. Why deny making things better?

Whether or not the message markup system gets changed, you still need buttons to give inexperienced users ways to format their message. If/when phpBB finally gets a WYSIWYG interface (another thing long overdue) for posting they will be necessary. And putting the whole bbCode issue aside, the CSS of...

IPhone 7

Part of the issue might be unless you have font size 16 or bigger in the text area (or select box) then iOS will zoom in the page. This is one of the code changes I had above.

With my out of date comment I was trying to emphasize how phpBB has been slow to adapt to new web technologies. We basically just got some Ajax functionality which was long overdue. A large portion of web viewing is now done on mobile devices. It is ridiculous how bad trying to post in phpBB is on t...

I don't understand why this has not been a priority. All the improvements to making viewing a forum respon...

Yeah, Pony explained it better than I did. It was just an idea to allow extensions the ability to execute code or add/modify database queries any place there is activity with the database. I don't know how useful this would be overall.

I disagree with the initial proposal. If you want to edit an SQL query just require an event where the query is built and use this event to transmit and alter the query But then you would need an event at every single location where a SQL query is built. That is currently not the case. Putting even...

I wanted to create my first extension so I went about trying to do a simple one to prevent a topic view count increasing if viewed by the topic creator. But as far as I can tell this is impossible. There is no way to modify any specific database query. And you can't modify the files direction anymor...

* Name: hook_convert_password * Rationale: It would allow converters to update hashed passwords for imported users from other forum software instead of forcing a user to reset * Placement: In auth_db.php inside the if ($row['user_pass_convert']) area * Input arguments: Don't know * Output format: Do...
