lxfx Posted February 12, 2003 Author Share Posted February 12, 2003 and here?s the direct link: http://www.magicmushrooms.org/products/forum.php there?s only one little bug, the forum is also driven with Session Id?s --> when you change from the start page to the viewtopicpage, please make sure you have column_right in place of column left (it?s in the download) otherwise the shop get?s all freaked out... but it?s not a biggie, is it? lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazza Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 and a little usability improvement....

mazza Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Some improvement suggestions: No <font> tags. No good for no one. Use <span classes> and maybe include another stylesheet or additions to the current. If this is way you use formatting, you will have alot of extra work if you ever want to change the general look of your site. Language files. none. Hard coded. Could the administraton be handled from administration ? Warning: Failed opening 'includesconfigure.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/voimaharjo/public_html/catalog/forum_config.php on line 4 Warning: Failed opening 'loginbox.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/voimaharjo/public_html/catalog/forum_newtopic.php on line 202 files that can be replaced (I saw no real fuctionality for these) forum_header.php forum_footer.php forum_config.php Then for the good part: Was really easy to install. Has administartion Has potential, if fixed. Out of all the forums there are as contributions I will be trying this one out.

DicE Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 nice forum lxfx. Although I changed the name to "guestbook" cos it seems to fuction more as that. Question... I'm interested in looking at the "administration" part... but what userid/password does it ask for? I've tried the one I use for my shop but no joy... is there a default or so? you didn't mention anything about this in your install file... any suggestions? ps: your contrib has lot of potential, keep working on it! I'm trying it out and it looks nice. Don't understand why my right column has to be moved to the left though :shock: anyways! keep it up! Quote _____.:::.________###__________|/______ :(o o): .

Guest Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 it would be nice if you just viewed the title of the post and not the entire post on the main forum page just my 2 cents otherwise it works great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I've been trying to install this forum for hours. It seemed like it installed correctly -that is, the forum shows up, but the posts do not. When I make a test post it redirects me to a blank page. The #posts counter changes, but the posts don't show up anywhere. When I attempt to open the posts, I get this error: 1146 - Table 'reality_osc1.TABLE_USER' doesn't exist SELECT title FROM TABLE_USER WHERE username='' [TEP STOP] Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This is the first php project I've ever tackled, and I'm more than a little lost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wads24 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi, I have been working on installing the forum for a few hours and can't figure what it is giving me an error: Error - Connection to database is not established ! I was having other errors, but fixed them on the config file. This is my config file. <?php include("includes/configure.php"); //---- General Option ---- $admin = "admin"; $password = "password"; //---- MySQL configuration ---- $dbhost = DB_SERVER; //MySQL host name for OSC leave it like this! $dbuser = DB_SERVER_USERNAME; //MySQL user name for OSC leave it like this! $dbpass = DB_SERVER_PASSWORD; //MySQL password for OSC leave it like this! $db = DB_DATABASE; //database name for OSC leave it like this! I know, still pretty hardcoded huh;) //---- Layout configuration ---- $forum_title = "1 Stop CB Shop Forum"; $itemperpage = 15; $tablewidth = 500; //minimum value is 600 $default_font = "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"; $color1 = "#F8F8F9"; $color2 = "#f0f0f0"; $buttons = "#669966"; $topbar = "#669966"; $headlines = "#669966"; ?> I installed the .sql file in my phpadmin, although I am new to oscommerce, and php.

mes Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I have found the forum contribution for osc The trouble is i think it is based on phpbb 2.0.10, there is a major security flaw with this version of phpbb so I would think it is unsafe to install. Maybe this osc version isn't affected by the flaw, as there seems to be far less files.? Anyway if anyone can help? cheers guys mes...
