Forum file

[AnfieldMike]

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!

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)

[AnfieldMike]

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

[Konsigliare]

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?

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.

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]

Anyone know where I can get this user created forum?

[Jordan Palmer]

Could you not read a few tutorials and create one? Or use SMF?

[Joshua]

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]

now now ladies,

 

They're requesting a forum base not a lecture about what's security or not.

 

I'd personally contact Dayo :)

[Joshua]

Jordan stop spamming you're catching me in post count :p

[Jordan Palmer]

Ohh, you noticed? xD

 

Damn you Josh

[Joshua]

lol why you think i've been posting more rar :P

[Jordan Palmer]

I thought it was because you like stalking me too be honest :L haha :)

[Joshua]

Yes, because you are so my type :p

You have boobies and no p33n right?

haha j/k ;)

[AnfieldMike]

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.

[Jordan Palmer]

Create a simple forum

There's one :)

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

[Jordan Palmer]

no point in using magic_quotes anyway, They're depricated within PHP 5.3

[Joshua]

I hadn't even noticed magic quotes wasn't on, was so used to mccodes ><

[SMOKEY_TEK]

I would love to see a forum built in as well, if anyone can do that that would be awesome... Thanks!

[keasty]

i agree that would be awesome

[monoxide]

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
