Development Discussion Board

There have been a few more than 70.000 transmitted reports since we added it in 3.0.6. I'll try to throw together at least a few basic web accessible reports this week that everyone can look at. Right now it's only accessible through SQL queries ;-) 70,000?! i'm mightily impressed! I'm also impress...

TBH since we (phpBB) has the sent statistics button, I think they have the numbers on how many ppl are using subSilver2 or based upon styles...(and yes it's not a definite number but a good indicator..) (or am I wrong here... ) so the numbers should be much of a problem..

This would be a good feature but there should be an on/off switch, a field saying maximum disk space for old posts, leave blank for unlimited (so it limit how much db space it would use and prune old ones), a button to prune from before a selected date or prune all. I would not limit the db space t...

War of the worlds

As a non coder I have little knowledge of server loads etc.. Im just brainstorming :D If you add the possibility of hooking into classes how big would be the extra load.. I think it would not be so big.. as most of the time the hooks will be empty (default situation) and when adding a enhancement or...

Perhaps a method like mediawiki (they "hook" into the system.. calling from their "config.php" the hooks and on what classes they hook into.).. Make it possible to "connect" into a class (if i understand correctly phpBB4 will be mostly be build on classes) Hope it makes...

I would say.. offer it to some styling author who would like to support it / further develop it. Meaning drop subSilver2 from being offical phpBB style and find some style author who would like to continue the support etc.. It's a same if it would drop off this world because as mentioned some ppl st...

And one has to keep in mind what the goal is of phpBB.. Meaning most users want stuff added to it, which doesn't comply to the goal of phpBB.. (think about a photo gallery, blog system etc).. Even though one has loads of trust in the "users of community" or what ever you call themm.. But t...

EDIT Rotsblok, if only it was that simple - Look at the code of HTMLPurifier, I believe it is well commented - this will let you know of the complexity. Everything looks complex for me.. :D No, I’m not trying to make an HTML parser or discussing the usefulness of such a parser with those rules, I’m...

Frankly, I have yet to see such a thing as a "secure HTML parser". It simply doesn't exist, which is the very nature of HTML. This piqued my curiosity. :) If you had an HTML parser that: Doesn’t allow the no-no HTML tags such as: script and style. (iframe isn't usable under rule #2) Doesn...
