I want to add the function, for example, if I give the letter "A", leaving all threads started with the letter "A", as the prefixes.

Thanks!

Trading Forum

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 11:54:58 -0400

Updated: 03 Sept 2010
We will try to create a simple trading forum with XThreads.

Here is an example for it:

Edit/create a forum. XThreads settings:

Template Prefix: trdf_
Thread Grouping: 2

Enable XThreads' Inline Forum Search: Yes

We need to put this forum url manually in our templates (e.g: header template).
Custom WOL Text:
- Forum Display: Viewing Trading Forum
- New Thread: Create A New Trade
- New Reply: Responding {2} Trade
- Show Thread: Viewing {2} Trade

Forum settings:
We will use the forum rules as our Trading Forum "Index" page. Because we can use HTML in the forum rules, so, we can style it with HTML. Just use our creativity for it.

Now, we need to create new templates in Global Template.
Admin CP -> Templates & Style -> Templates -> Global Templates:

Well, we can see that the title and description for our custom thread fields typed manually in this template. Modify it as our needs.

All filtering URL laid here. If we changed the value list, maybe we need to change this template too. And we put the forum rule variable in this template.

Date Field?

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 05:16:53 -0400

I was just wonder if it's possible, through the 'Custom' Input Field Type to create a date input. Something like:

And then just display as: 05 January 2004

I would do this myself, but I'm not 100% sure how the custom option works, in terms of variables and whatnot.

MyCode Pack

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:31:50 -0400

I am using the MyCode Pack that used to be on myBB mods. I am very happy with it and have worked a fair few of them out, but I am stumped on how to format the MyCode for a table in a post

Zinga, can you help me please?

NewPoints' Buy Forum Access module

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:30:26 -0400

This is a NewPoints addon "review" requested by Pirata Nervo.
I generally only do MyBB plugins, but due to similarity and guessing, I can probably do this one too. Note that I generally like to test my claims before making them, but I haven't done any testing whatsoever here, so apologies if I make any wrong assumptions.

I don't really see huge issues, but one thing I would mention is that there is a lot of unnecessary code duplication in this plugin.
Pretty much all of the following can be put into a generic checking function, where the other plugin hooks call

PHP Code:

function newpoints_buyaccess_access_forum()
{
	global $mybb, $db, $lang;
	
	// in this hook, the fid hasn't been verified yet so we'll just check if it's in settings or not - in case it is in settings and it does not exist, it's the admin's fault.
	// Do not use forumdisplay_end because we'd be executing the whole forumdisplay.php file without needing to.
	$fid = (int)$mybb->input['fid'];
	
	$affected_fids = explode(',', $mybb->settings['newpoints_buyaccess_forums']);
	if (!in_array($fid, $affected_fids))
		return;
		
	// If we're a guest, we cant' browse this forum because we can't pay for it
	if (!$mybb->user['uid'])
		error_no_permission();
	
	newpoints_lang_load('newpoints_buyaccess');
	
	if ($mybb->settings['newpoints_buyaccess_time'] > 0)
	{
		$time_check = 'AND `date` > ('.TIME_NOW.' - '.$mybb->settings['newpoints_buyaccess_time'].')';
	}
	else 
		$time_check = '';
	
	// check if we've bought access to this forum
	$query = $db->simple_select('newpoints_buyaccess', '*', '`uid`=\''.$mybb->user['uid'].'\' AND `fid`=\''.$fid.'\' '.$time_check);
	$access = $db->fetch_array($query);
	if (!$access)
	{
		// we need to pay
		
		if ($mybb->request_method == "post" && $mybb->input['action'] == 'do_pay')
		{
			// insert data into database
			$insert_array = array(
				'fid' => intval($fid),
				'uid' => intval($mybb->user['uid']),
				'date' => TIME_NOW
			);
			$db->insert_query('newpoints_buyaccess', $insert_array);
			
			// get money from user
			newpoints_addpoints($mybb->user['uid'], -floatval($mybb->settings['newpoints_buyaccess_fee']));
			
			// log
			newpoints_log('buyaccess', $lang->sprintf($lang->newpoints_buyaccess_log, $fid, $mybb->settings['newpoints_buyaccess_fee']));
		}
		else {
			// Show page telling the user to pay
			
			// do we have enough points?
			if (floatval($mybb->user['newpoints']) < floatval($mybb->settings['newpoints_buyaccess_fee']))
			{
				error($lang->sprintf($lang->newpoints_buyaccess_no_points, newpoints_format_points(floatval($mybb->settings['newpoints_buyaccess_fee']))));
			}
			else {
				if (!$time_check)
					$time_check = $lang->newpoints_buyaccess_unlimited;
				else
				{
					$secondsaccess = $mybb->settings['newpoints_buyaccess_time'];
					$hoursaccess = floor($secondsaccess / 3600);
					$minsaccess = floor(($secondsaccess / 60) % 60);
					$secsaccess = floor($secondsaccess % 60);
					
					$time_check = $hoursaccess."h ".$minsaccess."m ".$secsaccess."s";
				}
			
				$page = $lang->sprintf($lang->newpoints_buyaccess_notice, newpoints_format_points(floatval($mybb->settings['newpoints_buyaccess_fee'])), $time_check)."
\"forumdisplay.php?fid=".$fid."\" method=\"post\">";
			
				$page .= "\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"do_pay\">\n";
				
				// Make sure we escape these before outputting them
				$input = array (
					'datecut' => intval($mybb->input['datecut']),
					'order' => htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['order']),
					'sortby' => htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['sortby']),
					'page' => intval($mybb->input['page']),
				);
				
				foreach ($input as $name => $value)
				{
					if ($value == 0 || $value == '')
						continue;
					
					$page .= "\"hidden\" name=\"".$name."\" value=\"".$value."\">\n";
				}
			
				$page .= "\"submit\" value=\"".$lang->newpoints_buyaccess_confirm."\">\n";
				
				$page .= ""
;
			
				error($page, $lang->newpoints_buyaccess_verify_payment);
			}
		}
	}
}

The plugin only blocks showthread, forumdisplay, sendthread, printthread and archive. Which means it may be possible to leak information from, say, the newreply thread review. Also other pages such as moderation pages aren't blocked - perhaps moderators are always allowed access, I don't know, but there doesn't appear to be any checking for moderators on the pages which are blocked.

Not a big issue, but a personal opinion:

PHP Code:

	$db->write_query("CREATE TABLE `".TABLE_PREFIX."newpoints_buyaccess` (
	  `pid` int(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL auto_increment,
	  `fid` int(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
	  `uid` bigint(30) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
	  `date` bigint(30) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
	  PRIMARY KEY  (`pid`)
		) ENGINE=MyISAM");

I'd personally ditch the pid column and make fid,uid the primary key. IMO, fid,uid should be unique, and it is always searched that way, thus having an index on fid,uid makes sense.
In other words, I'd have changed the above to the following:

PHP Code:

	$db->write_query("CREATE TABLE `".TABLE_PREFIX."newpoints_buyaccess` (
	  `fid` int(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
	  `uid` bigint(30) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
	  `date` bigint(30) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
	  PRIMARY KEY  (`fid`,`uid`)
		) ENGINE=MyISAM");

I guess some people might want to differ, but I'd suggest at least having a UNIQUE key on fid,uid.

Note: the plugin doesn't assume uniqueness on the column, so it is possible to have multiple entries for a single fid,uid if there is a time limit specified (ie user buys access into forum twice). I don't really see much point in having more than one entry for a particular fid,uid - buying into a forum again should update the timestamp, rather than insert a new entry. Also, perhaps the system should prune old entries every now and then.
This, of course, does depend on the design idea. Pruning entries does mean that if the admin decides to remove the time limit later on, people who have bought access may have it pruned by the system.

invite only

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 04:45:21 -0400

Hello, is there a mod/plugin that makes the forum invite only?
I have seen some plugins elsewhere but they are not working reliably.

Actually I am also looking for a good working plugin that forces/redirects members to a thread (rules) once they have registered. Same story as above, it's elsewhere but it does not work correctly.

Thanks!

Left Join in query ?

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:48:56 -0400

Hi Zinga !

Can you please give me an hint how to use "LEFT JOIN" in sql query. sorry for such an question. I'm running an query where I could find some brief data from "users" table and then from "userfields" table. I don't want to use double query for two different tables, hence little difficult to use this "LEFT JOIN" thingy.

My present query where I am finding brief data from "users" table is;

PHP Code:

		$query = $db->simple_select("users", "username, email, regip", "uid=".intval($user_info['uid'])."");

then how to insert LEFT JOIN in their to get custom profile field value of that user?

Thanks for helping me out Yumi !

  We put the filtering URL manually in template. We will try to "combine" it with Genre filtering URL and MyBB sorting thread in forumdisplay_threadlist template, using the $filters_set XThreads feature.
Textbox for Music URL:
It's a bit hard for me to decide what player should be used for this. Finally, I've decided to use 1pixelout music player. So, this sample using 1pixelout music player. We need to download the player from 1pixelout.net. We will receive 2 file, 1 js file and 1 swf file. Pack it into one folder, call it player, and upload the folder to our forum root directory.
We will include the player in this field, With this way we can set which user group can play the music, via the Viewable by Usergroups feature.

In this sample, we need to upload the mp3 file to another file hosting which is allowing us to hotlink the file from their site. There are some free file hosting like this. The reason is, because I use free hosting, and most of free web hosting or shared hosting not allowing us to stream multimedia file directly from their web host, so, we need to host the file to another file hosting. That's why we don't use File input field type here.

Updated Inline Thread Popup Review

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 08:21:10 -0400

This is a plugin "review" requested by FBI.

This plugin doesn't seem to have huge adverse effects, however I do have quite a number of concerns.

My biggest concern is the following piece of code:

PHP Code:

    $message = $parser->parse_message($post['message'], $parser_options);

    if(strlen($message) > $mybb->settings['pcssp_message'])
    {
        $message = substr($message, 0, $mybb->settings['pcssp_message']);
        $message .= "...";
    }
    $message = preg_replace('|<(.*?)\.\.\.|', '', $message);

To explain the logic, it basically takes the text that the user enters for the first post, then sends it to the parser to convert bbCode into HTML. After the conversion, it will take this HTML and chop it at the maximum length specified.
To the observant reader, this methodology has a number of problems:

HTML tags are considered in the length
It's possible for this to chop off tags in the middle

For the last point, the last line of code seems to try to mitigate the issue. I'm guessing it's trying to remove open tags at the end. Unfortunately, the regex isn't accurate and will remove everything after any tag.
For example, set the maximum length to 10, and make a new thread with the following post:

Code:

abc[b]def[/b]

The above will generate a preview of "abc".
The placement of preg_replace is also susceptible to triple dots in posts, eg, even if we set a maximum of 200 chars, the following post will break previews:

Code:

I [b]don't[/b] know...  What should I do?

Fixing the above correctly isn't terribly easy - it would require a HTML parser which properly counts length.  Doing this may cause additional slowdown to the board, however this can actually be mitigated through a preparser.

Which brings to the next issue, the parser is called for every thread on forumdisplay, which can increase load a bit, considering that forumdisplay is usually an often visited page.  Preparsing would solve this issue, although, arguably, MyBB itself doesn't include a post preparser.
I do like the use of caching first posts - something many plugin authors seem to forget to do.

Another concern I have is that template edits aren't performed during activation (FBI comments that he removed it) however it's still being done in deactivation.  I guess it works, but it seems a bit odd.

Lastly, this does leave various tidbits from the MyBB 1.2.x era, such as:

PHP Code:

if(!function_exists("rebuildsettings"))
{
    function rebuildsettings()
    {
        global $db;
        if(!file_exists(MYBB_ROOT."inc/settings.php"))
        {
            $mode = "x";
        }
        else
        {
            $mode = "w";
        }
        $options = array(
            "order_by" => "title",
            "order_dir" => "ASC"
        );
        $query = $db->simple_select("settings", "value, name", "", $options);

        while($setting = $db->fetch_array($query)) {
            $setting['value'] = str_replace("\"", "\\\"", $setting['value']);
            $settings .= "\$settings['".$setting['name']."'] = \"".$setting['value']."\";\n";
            $mybb->settings[$setting['name']] = $setting['value'];
        }
        $settings = "<"."?php\n/*********************************\ \n  DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, PLEASE USE\n  THE SETTINGS EDITOR\n\*********************************/\n\n$settings\n?".">";
        $file = @fopen(MYBB_ROOT."inc/settings.php", $mode);
        @fwrite($file, $settings);
        @fclose($file);
    }
}

The above code should be removed, and "rebuildsettings" should be replaced with "rebuild_settings"

PHP Code:

($post['smilieoff'] == "yes") ? "no" : $forum['allowsmilies'],

PHP Code:

'filter_badwords' => 'yes',

...etc
From memory, yes/no was converted to 1/0 in MyBB 1.4 (need to double check that)

PHP Code:

    $db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."settinggroups WHERE gid='".$gid."'");
    $db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."settings WHERE gid='".$gid."'");

Should use $db->delete_query for those.

Otherwise, it seems to be a good effort from FBI, who claims to be not a PHP coder

Posting Snippets

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:25:04 -0400

The other day I was working on a plug in and I wanted my plug in to have its own css in the themes section of the ACP. I got it to work and now I have a little code snippet to paste into any plugin. I wondered if it was maybe an idea if any of us have any handy snippets to post them here. We could even make the forum using Xthreads new filtering super powers
