OK you guys, from now on if you want anyone to "mod" their forums, please make a mod in the same format as a PHPBB forum mod. if you are unfameiler with that format, go to www.phpbb.com and look around for documentation.

I may make a automatic mod installer for people.

LO< maybe someone could fix my old phpBB "Mod Maker" . It mostly works except that little textbox to add actions can't learn to stay in one tab... ill fix it tonight and post here

This is a very cool program from GNU: diff.zip.

Screenshot of diff implemented in VIM.

This is the win32-ported version of diff, that comes with VIM for Windows.

(Actually, I make AutoIt3 programs with my customized version of VIM. It's the best text editor ever.

That program finds the difference between two files.

I recommended this command:

diff -i -w originalfile.au3 changedfile.au3

-i will do the case-insensitive match, and

-w will ignore the whitespaces.

With this program you can automaically make a MOD syntax much easier, but I don't know how to implement it.

[theguy0000]

there are defintely features I want to add to this, I'll see what I can do.

Oh and as for my MOD maker, i dont wanna fix it when there's this. So if anyone wants a mod maker, use that.

Oh, and the ZIP file in the first post is the latest version, right? just making sure..

[spyrorocks]

what we need is a mod parser that will apply mods to your forum software.

[theguy0000]

Ok, and I'll see what I can do about the todo list in the first post.

[spyrorocks]

OK. i just upadted it with the mod parser thing.

[theguy0000]

hmm, what does the override Get param do?

[theguy0000]

uhm, all instances of "discription" should be "description" and "panal" should be "panel"...

[spyrorocks]

LOL thats my stupid spelling. anyways, im rewriting the database system.

[theguy0000]

hmm, what does the override Get param do?

[the DtTvB]

The AutoForum's database system is file-based.

The layout of the forum is like this.

Forum Name~~~~~~Forum Description

Another Forum~~~~~~Forum Description

But when the forum program found the incorrect format of forum name, it will bark.

(For me, the word "bark" means to display the error, and terminate the program, pretty strange! Isn't it?)

Like dhilip's idea, putting the database in C:

The program will see the folder "WINDOWS," which doesn't follow the rule of the forum names.

So the program will bark and let the user to override those directory with a nothing (removing it!)

So, when you send the override GET parameter, the program will try to remove all the directory

which doesn't in this format: Forum Name~~~~~~Forum Description away.

I wonder why spyrorocks don't make the forum ignore those folder names, and just skip to the next forum.

It's easier, and it's safer! Isn't it?

And about the new database system, it will use the .ini file for each forum.

All the posts, and topics will be put in each forum's .ini file.

But I think it will be pretty slow.

I think the good idea is to make a file layout like this.

• forum1
• forumname.txt
• forumdescription.txt
• topic1
• topicname.txt
• post1.txt (first line stores username, and the following line stores the whole post.)

[*]forum2

• forumname.txt
• forumdescription.txt
• topic1
  • topicname.txt
  • post1.txt
  • post2.txt
  • post3.txt
• topic2
  • topicname.txt
  • post1.txt
  • post2.txt
• topic3
  • topicname.txt
  • post1.txt

[*]forum3

• forumname.txt
• forumdescription.txt

!

To match the forum, just do the _fileListToArray and filter like this:

• forum*
• topic*
• post*.txt

Or swap to SQLite, which is easier and faster.

[spyrorocks]

I want this system to be used without any additional software installed exept autoit.

Why would the ini system that im making be slow?

[McGod]

SQLite really only needs 2 things done:

1) Copy SQLite3.dll (You could do a FileInstall )

2) Regserv32 SQLite3.dll (From cmd line )

You could do it all via autoit.
