File discussion: Players Forum by Rayn

This is the discussion thread for my version of the Players Forum.

File: Players forum
Catagory: administrative
Compatability: tested and working on 1.1.1.
Version: 1.0
Author: RaynDarren modified from Superuser Forum by Lonny Luberts. Modified by Danilo Stern-Sapad, rewritten by MarcTheSlayer. Additions by Aeolus

I originally saw MarcTheSlayers rewritten code of this and loved it so much I decided to modify it for player use. Aeolus found a bug, so updated the version. I used Aeolus's code to make my modifications.

My modifications include:
V1.0
- removing su checks to accomidate players only
- villagenav added
- link in grotto under *Check Often* header added
- mythical forum link moved to gatenav

V1.1 will include:
- return to thread link at posting reply page
- admin settable help section

I hope to have V1.1 released by 10/05/2012.

Thanks and enjoy!

Good module!

I recommend adding this:

On line 407 replace:

Code:

$title = addslashes(htmlentities($title));

With:

Code:

$title = htmlspecialchars_decode($title);

Just out of curiosity, why make the change?

[Eclypse ~ Xpert]

Oh, right. xD

It will stop the & entity from showing up. For some reason, the code you replace doesn't work, so I used a different version of it (the second piece of code) and it worked.

[RaynDarren]

Alrighty, will make that change to the next version. Thanks!

Major bug fix!

Version number is still the same.
- Player forum is now accessable by non-staff players from the village.
