AnfieldMike Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hey everyone, I purchased the gRPG script a few months ago, and since buying it I have noticed that the zip file didn't come with a forum file. I have since emailed Pibulis, but he still hasn't got back to me after many weeks. It would be greatly appreciated if someone who has the origial forum file could send it to me, or post its coding, or upload the file somewhere so that it is available to download. Also I need the MySQL information for the forums, so if you could paste that too, that would be great. If you have had the same experience, then feel free to post, all help would be like i said greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djkanna Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Um, does GRPG actually come with forum by default? Sorry I don't use it but last time I looked a GRPG it was just a link to a external forum script (like VBulletin, SMF etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnfieldMike Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Oh, it's just I have seen a few games that run on gRPG that have internal forums. Is anyone able to code internal forums, or alternatively convert the McCodes forum file? It would be great, but a lot of hard work. And I wouldnt know where to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konsigliare Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 There is a grpg forum but it's nothing to do with the grpg, and it is user made There is one floating about but I don't know if it is licensed or if it's free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnfieldMike Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 There is a grpg forum but it's nothing to do with the grpg, and it is user made There is one floating about but I don't know if it is licensed or if it's free Is that for internal based forums, like the McCodes forums? Or like external, such as a MyPHB script or other forum script? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlanderDesign Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Two points: 1. GRPG does not come with a forum by default... 2. Don't use the user made forums, the main reason I say this is look where it says $_POST['topicname'] $_POST['topicname'] appears around 13 times and needs securing.

Joshua Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Eh just secure the $_POST variable then lol Secure it once you wouldnt "need" to secure the same variable 13 times $_POST['variable'] = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST['variable'])); Then wherever it's output Assuming Magic Quotes is on and you arent using a class to already stripslashes $_POST['variable'] = stripslashes(htmlentities($_POST['variable'], ENT_QUOTES)); That + A secured BBcode engine you should be good to go.

AnfieldMike Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Anyone know where I can get this user created forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Palmer Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Could you not read a few tutorials and create one? Or use SMF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 T, If all you can do is run your mouth why don't you go play in pre-school. We were talking about securing a certain few variables in the forums, have you even looked at GRPG? Please Explain why it fails, since apparently you think you know the entire php manual.

Jordan Palmer Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 now now ladies, Â They're requesting a forum base not a lecture about what's security or not. Â I'd personally contact Dayo :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnfieldMike Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Could you not read a few tutorials and create one? Or use SMF? I don't want to use SMF, because that would involve creating a theme that would match my game, and I don't think I have the time to do that. Also I wanted the forums to be internally based, and I am sure there is a way to do this, in fact I think I am sure I have done it once before, but I don't want to use SMF. As for reading tutorials, what tutorials are there for creating an internally based forum for the gRPG script? If you know of any, and can direct me there I will sure give it a shot.

Why use htmlentitles when you're stripping the tags? Plus, Magic Quotes isn't used for GRPG, if it was then most of the mysql_query(); 's would error/double slash quotes :S :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Palmer Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 no point in using magic_quotes anyway, They're depricated within PHP 5.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monoxide Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 i created my forum from scratch, all it took was a little brain racking :P with a little bit of time, i made a fully functional forum within my grpg game from scratch, has working lock/sticky/move thread/delete thread/delete post/forum bans etc the day this was complete was the happiest day of my life :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
