Hi, all

So, two days ago I started work on my first custom PHP project. In the past I have never used PHP in a very extensive way besides editing what I need and small scripts, never an entire website from the group up.

The template is around 2 years old, I found in on an old hard drive and thought it would work good as a place holder while I get stuff working.

Now located at http://simplebb.net


Development Link: http://simplebb.net

Current Features:
-Register
-Login
-User/Profile Page
-Ability To Edit User/Profile Information (Password, Email and set/change your website.)
-User Rank(Currently guest, user and admin.)
-Admin Control Panel(View Users, Ban Users, Delete Users, Upgrade User Rank.)
-Password Recovery
-Statistics(Seen in footer, shows how many members are online, how many guests, the users that are online and links to their User/Profile page and how many total registered members there are.)


Current To Do:
-Upgrade Password Recovery(Send confirmation email which links to where you can set your own password instead of being emailed one.)
-Fix registration with working ReCAPTCHA.
-Write my own contact form with security feature(It's currently an open source one I found for a placement.)
-Add display picture option in User/Profile Page


Update Log:
Now viewable on website and updated daily: http://simplebb.net/updatelog.php
 
Re: Karoshio's Custom PHP Based Project

So I managed to fix the registration, then break it again and after a few hours fix it once more with working "Re Type Password" in the registration form.

For anyone interested about me breaking the registration in more depth.
Turns out the registration kept failing because of the new profile field I added: "Website" which you can set your website in your user/profile editor. I don't understand why fully but because upon registration everything is inserted in the 'users' table and nothing was being put into the website column which 'caused it to fail. The fix was a simple as when registering if successful it inserts blank data into the website column and then everything is back to working perfect. So everything is well.

Tomorrow I plan on getting the ReCAPTCHA working for registration.


I also added: http://karoshio.net/test/updatelog.php will be similar to in this thread, containing current features, current to do list and a brief update log.



@Mr.Blogger I am unsure yet, it's possible. For the moment I am working on creating a stable base of, registration, logging in, admin controls, user friendly, user pages, etc. Just a simple base that all types of websites can use then I can potentially use it as my own framework for several projects I have floating around my mind. A forum software is definitely up there but I wouldn't ever expect it to get big, maybe I would design a simple one just for my websites based on it or another one like tinybb.net for people who need some nice and simple.
 
Re: Karoshio's Custom PHP Based Project

You should make a forum to go with it.
 
Re: Karoshio's Custom PHP Based Project

It's a possibility, just getting the base features all working and secure first. I may design a small simple forum script to integrate with it just support 'n' such or as mentioned in another post in the future maybe a small forum like tinybb.net for people who aren't look for anything to feature packed, just something light weight.

Looks pretty good for someone who hasn't been into php alot!
 
Re: Karoshio's Custom PHP Based Project

Thanks, master. To be fair I have been doing PHP for a while now just more so the learning area and it's been very on and off and things I have done besides that are only things like editing scripts to my need, and small, light weight online tools.

I thought it was time to try and do my own thing and see what I can really make. I think it's going well so far.


If anyone has any feedback or suggestions please go ahead and say, even if they be negative, I am happy to listen.
 
Re: Karoshio's Custom PHP Based Project

Thank you whoever moved this for me 🙂

We are now at http://simplebb.net

http://simplebb.net/updatelog.php

20/9/2011
-Moved login from the main page to /login.php.
-Created a user area below the header which shows if you're logged in or not and has appropriate links for each.
-Development has been starting on 'SimpleBB Comments' which will be served as a feedback tool for myself. Added new links in the navigation, with corresponding pages. All new pages are viewable but their content is under development.
 
Looks like it has potential! Though one thing I noticed, when commenting, after hitting the submit, it doesnt redirect you after the initial confirmation page.
 
I know. That's why there's the if they an issue message. Will fix up as soon as I can.

If anyone has suggestions or feedback head over to http://simplebb.net/comments.php that's what it's there for. Please note that this section of SimpleBB is not going to be a main feature, this project is about me developing a very simple forum software. The soul purpose of my putting together this section together is for user input. Just wanted to clear that up.
 
Not as much done today as I wanted. The only complete thing which isn't noticeable is I wrote a new logout fuction at logout.php instead of instead the other file that handles registration, logging in, etc. I thought this would be a lot smoother.

I have started on pagination for the comment section which if basically limiting results per page and having new pages added for the more comments page. I am having a lot of issues with it and I am just "winging it as I have never done anything like this before.

I finished a few more things on the user integration but I took a break and starting doing a few more things for the Account/User page but that won't be online for a day or two.

Oh and lastly I have planned out some forum stuff, mainly just the database structure and wrote up some ideas, etc.


Anyway, keep checking in and keep updated at http://simplebb.net/updatelog.php - Not updated yet for today.
 
Is this suspose to be a CMS,blog,or Forum software. I am a bit confused on that.

As for the look,I am loving it.
 
It's going to be a very simple forum software for websites that need a forum but not something so feature packed. Other smaller features such as comments will be included but won't be visible by default.

If all goes well I would love to get a framewok down pat and work on a whole 'simple' like including a Simple CMS and Simple Blog but that's just an users right now. We will see.
 
Haven't had any live updates in a while but here are a list of the features going live for testing in around 1 week.

-Completely working forum

-Comment area completely integrated into everything else

-Fixed Comment bugs

-New profile

-Avatars

-Improved statistics

-Integrated contact form into everything else(Uses your email and username automatically if you're logged in.)

-Added more functions to the Admin and Mod CP.

-Custom CAPTCHA working for registration.

That's everything I think. Most are things are just tweaks and bug fixes.
