Uridium Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I was fed up of the way that the Forums were on the standard MCC talk about rubbish so i decided to install an SMF forum instead... Download link for SMF forums.. http://www.simplemachines.org/download/ Forum Themes Downloads (free) Use drop down at top of the theme to change, view, download http://www.smfthemes.org/index.php?theme=160 My little bit.. call this file forumframe.php You're unable to view this code. Viewing code within this forum requires registration, you can register here for free. and replace the old menu forum link in mainmenu.php to point to the one placed in your forumframe.php file The outcome..

shaved92bravada Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Re: [MOD Mcc V1 + V2] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy that is pretty awesome illusions. I am prolly gonna use this. Seems to be a bit safer that using the mccodes forums since they are pretty exploitable. Now I just gotta figure out if I can figure out how to sync my users login/password with the smf so that they don't have to signup for them as well. Plus find the right theme to make it work with my game lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too be honest the registration for your users will take less than 30 seconds to do it would take you longer messing about trying to get everyones username and passwords from your mcc to place into the SMF.. I would give them a clean slate and make the SMF as it is for them to Register Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaHit Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Re: [MOD Mcc V1 + V2] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy a thought could you take the username and password from your users table... then import that into your SMF?? EDIT: Forgot to say Great mod... This will be great for new games...just implant this to sign up for this nad game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uridium Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Re: [MOD Mcc V1 + V2] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy Too be honest im not sure i havent gone as far as doing that. It ptobably can be done but may also need extra info like email addresses for all members so they can retrieve lost passwords.. Again i would just let your members just Re-reg for the forum its only 30 seconds but that 30 seconds is what makes their accounts safer,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaved92bravada Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Re: [MOD Mcc V1 + V2] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy yeah true. But to my advantage I am the only one that is registered on my game right now lol. So if I can figure out how to make it when they register for the game it also inserts the required info into the smf database then all is well lol. But that will be later.

That sounds good but your also going to have to put your SMF tables inside of your MCC tables which reduces your security.. The SMF on mine is away from tha MCC tables thus making it a bit more secure.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaHit Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Re: [MOD Mcc V1 + V2] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy it wont be that hard to use "both" databases.. just connect to both in the register and put info into it or make is where they register for game, and after that page it links you to the smf register page..

MrGi Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Re: [MOD Mcc V1 + V2] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy You could if you wanted to, Make it were on next users log-in the UserName and Password will Insert into a SMF database, Therfore They are already Signed up. As a Note, I wouldnt leave this running as it could cause some Trouble on securing as Illusions has said. Overall, Iv used SMF before, And its a great forum overall. Though I dont use an off-site forum because its just one more page my users need to open. But Great Post Illusions, +1 for you mate. Note: Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post. Lol What Luck :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaved92bravada Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Re: [MOD Mcc V1 + V2] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy yeah I would definately keep it in seperate databases. I used a forum at one point in time that you could merge the usernames/passwords from your existing db into it, I just can't remember which one it was. but yeah I could make it where something like if (!$ir['forumreg']) it sends them to the register page for the forums. or puts a reminder at the top of the page something along those lines.

Zero-Affect Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Re: [MOD Mcc V1 + V2] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy actually smf isn't copyrighted and in forums they say they don't mind, but i suggest leaving them on the ad's though can be removed via skin.php in misc. i have this installed for other purposes i don't really like the idea of adding it into mc though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromed Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Re: [MOD Mcc V1 + V2] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy To get your game users on the forum without registering you just merge the database from smf into the game db right ? ~ Mickey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyp3r2oo9 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Re: [MOD Mcc V1 + V2] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy Mm.. It might be difficult to have the username/password they registered with to your game into SMF.. But, It would be better if the players don't need to register to the forums again.. Possible edit the SMF database to the structure of your games users table and then just import/export every night? Or try and edit the code to instruct it to select username from <gamedatabase>_users etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajgraves Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Re: [mccode] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy Hi All, Firstly, thanks for bringing these forums to my attention :-D Secondly... i have read through the thread and i was thinking about how to make it so that they register for both the game and the forums, but without leaving the tables for the forum in the same one as the games data. Would adding the register for the forums been placed into the register.php for the game work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Affect Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Re: [mccode] A better Safer Forum for your members to enjoy yes adding a line to register would work. but it would be better to intergate the users table into the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
