Development Discussion Board

I see. I reviewed the diff again and I do have some comments/suggestions. 1. The warnings about unsuitability for production use and dangerousness - why is the script unsuitable for production use and dangerous? Considering that hiphop typically is used in production environments, some more guidanc...

HipHop for PHP transforms PHP source code into highly optimized C++. It was developed by Facebook and was released as open source in early 2010. HipHop transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then compiles it with g++ to build binary files. You keep coding in simpler PHP, then...

Agreed.

I don't think the template language should be expanded much further in a core phpBB install, but I think it is important for each tag implemented to be modular, allowing anyone to easily add logic they require or remove logic they don't.

Just saw this, and it seems rather neat. However, I hope the template system could be expanded to support more complex logic. While html macros are nice, what if I want to add completely new functionality to the template system, such as an automated spriting system, or a handler that performs php lo...

1) A 'Shout Box'. Now I know there are many chat mods out there, but I find they are just too big and take up too much space. This 'shout box' sits of the left side of the forum where you can choose to ignore it or use it. I know I would have no need of that, and it would get in the way. 2) A set o...

I actually like spaces. it bothers me when I open up a file and it's obvious my tab widths are different from the target width, making the mess unreadable. As for having trouble getting people to use spaces instead, a hook could be setup that would automatically convert tabs to spaces. Problem solve...

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you meant having both the parsed copy and original post in the database. Since the parsed copy will doubtless be bigger, it would be a space issue.

Overall it sounds excellent, I'm just concerned about this: It stores the bbcode stack of a post in a separate column, leaving the original content untouched. Reparsing all posts is as simple as emptying that column. It will automatically be refilled on viewing a post. Potentially, someone could dou...

There were some discussions about expanding the BBCode system in phpBB 3.1+ or 4.x, and I was hoping some of these things could be worked out. I have not followed 3.1 development closely, which the bbcode parser may be based on , so I appologize if some of this has already been worked out. Types of ...

Through the way git works you actually keep the information about the author etc. in the history, afterall it's distributed. You don't commit someone elses changes, you commit the merge which keeps history of all merge parents. So there's no issue like that which one has in svn. Ah, I didn't realiz...
