Has everyone seen the future of phpbb? The fabled 3.0.x release? Well the official site has now migrated over:
http://www.phpbb.com/community

Support a lot of powerful features that alternative boards have developed but still retains its phpbb roots. I have not yet downloaded or looked at it but its interesting, i'm hoping its retained its post-processing style, as in it marks up the posts in terms of passes rather than fudge the actual data entry like invision does (I HATE invision :lol:)

What do people think of it? Styles are one thing, its probably not best to judge it on the board style so much, but it has things like subforums/categories, some more markup, etc.

Yes seen it, also installed a test version on my server to see what it can do.
It has some pretty cool feats I must say.
Also subsubforums are finally a part of the basic forum. (Find it can come in handy in some cases)
Still have to look at all of it, but can't wait to switch to the first RC.

Yes, do miss the center tag though.
And you can't enable html anymore. Atleast haven't found an option for it.

I'm sure there will be a mod for it pretty fast.

The most annoying thing about the default theme is that they have moved the avatar to the right (which seems very strange) and made the post title too large and prominent (how many people actually give their posts a title?). The user control interface is definitely sexy now, though.

But those cosmetic things are easily modified. I think I'll set up a phpbb 3.0 board for a small closed community site I'm thinking of starting (that way any undiscovered beta security vulnerability won't be too big a problem).

I'm pretty sure it ships with subsilver unless they *just* changed it, like yesterday or something, it looks like the old one :) Just download subsilver if its not packaged anymore :)

I hate the phpbb.com default theme, fixed width forums are sucky for big monitors :(

I'd be porting over this theme anyway :)

That's good to know. I thought I'd have to wait for someone to make a 'normal' theme. :)

interesting but it means, possibly, major refactoring of my frontpage portal :(

That's if we adopt it, obviously.

fp isn't much but getting some data out of the database.
It's more the index with comics: http://forum.comic-central.cc/indica.php

Shouldn't be too hard though.

Just did a test install and conversion.

It's pretty easy to install and conversion went without any problems at all.

Now for the several mods..

didn't actually, with forum's board... only problem is the search indexing took freakin hours for dead-donkey.com... and that's not even including scifi!


Themes, couldn't find any... going to have to make em myself.
There's no easy mod or, actually, mod support. I heard mention that EasyMod was going to be soon after it goes Gold, and since this is a RC, i might wait for then.

Mods I wrote i should be able to diff and get the flow of, just need to sit down and read the source code.


Oh, and here's a tip, if your defining custom bbcode, do so before the converison or it will not be picked up ;)

ie. spoiler, nfo, etc.

converting themes is a bitch too :lol:
Might have to whip up a mock dead-donkey and have some testing going on once i've done a bit of patching :)

Anyone willing to give a quick spam attack at some point if i setup another domain?

Its a pain but I'm getting the hang of it. Lot of tweaking required for the template to get it to look and feel the same... still some images i need to work on and frankly, I'm a guy and have no taste :lol:

I've done a few required modifications to the php software too, a lot of neat stuff is there by default, and its been functionalised which is good news.
