smf or phpbb?

You can do a wildcard IP search from AdminCP...

 

...ha. I rest my case. Can't even unify feature sets.

Above and beyond not returning the actual posts within a given IP range.

 

Hate to dig this thread up, but I noticed you have a working "RegBar" mod on your site that runs SMF 2.0 RC2, Vekseid Care to share where you got it or even the files? Thanks!

 

I wrote it myself. Just edit the index.template.php, the div goes right after the body tag.

Code:

function template_body_above()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

$approved = false;
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
if ($context['allow_calendar'])
{
$approved = true;
}
}

$showbar = $approved;

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'elliquiy.com')
{
echo '<a class="elliquiysupernotice" href="http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php">This is Elliquiy\'s IP. You will have an easier time by clicking here to go to the url.</a>';
echo '<a class="elliquiysupernoticefloat" href="http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php">This is Elliquiy\'s IP. You will have an easier time by clicking here to go to the url.</a>';
}
elseif (!$context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo '<a class="elliquiysupernotice" href="/forums/index.php?action=register">You are either not logged in or not registered with our community. Click here to register.</a>';
echo '<a class="elliquiysupernoticefloat" href="/forums/index.php?action=register">You are either not logged in or not registered with our community. Click here to register.</a>';
}
elseif (!$approved)
{
echo '<a class="elliquiysupernotice" href="/questionnaire">Are you approved yet? Click here if you have not filled out the questionnaire.</a>';
echo '<a class="elliquiysupernoticefloat" href="/questionnaire">Are you approved yet? Click here if you have not filled out the questionnaire.</a>';
}

Like so. You can get the css from my site as needed. Keep in mind some people will actually miss that type of bar. -_-

 

Very Nice! I will set it up soon!

 

I used both smf or phpBB and Among of these tow I think phpBB is more impressive.

 

PhpBB for me.

@Morty
How's things going for you?

 

Really?

I think SMF is easier to use.

No need to edit files for a mod.No need to run through the permission settings gauntlet either.More up to date features.

There are other forum software better than phpBB3.But they are not getting the attention they deserve.Because phpBB software is getting too much unwarranted adulation.

Frankly why is phpBB3 popular at all?

 

It can be a good strategy.To first use a FREE software.And wait for the forum grow up.Then convert to a paid software that fits best with your needs.

I wonder how many forum owners have done this?

I have plans to start a new forum this year.Plan to use myBB as usual.But have looked at BurningBoard as well.And still watching UBB.threads too.

 

I still have a site running phpBB, works really well for it. Never used SMF so not sure what it's like.

 

That is fine.If you are happy with it.

I still think it is an overrated forum software.

You can run the SMF DEMO anytime.

 

It's only a very small site, not worht moving to anything else.

 

I used your code for a while, it was great, and then I moved over to a unused vB license I had lying around. you can see it at http://rvoclan.com

 

I'm not that keen on either, but would use SMF any day of the week before PHPBB3

 

I have had both.

I do not like phpBB3.

SMF is ok for me.

But I left both for myBB and happy with it.

I tried phpBB3 again when I started a new political forum four months ago.Even with their upgrades the software had since I left it two years earlier.I still do not like it.So I converted to myBB.

I will consider their version 4 when it comes out.But I have a feeling I will not like it.They seem to be in love with over the top scalability capability.Thus the absurd administration permission set up.

When I started the political forum.I added the owner as administrator.She complained that she could not do things.That a site administrator can do.I had given her FULL moderator capability.It took me a while.But realized I have to make her a Global Moderator too.Then she can now be an administrator.

Crazy huh? That is phpBB3.

:uhh:

 

PhpBB

 

smf is awesome but there are a few things i hated aka bannings someone is confusing.

mybb would be perfect with a better portal

phpbb3? No

 

It would help if they make their portal a plug in.Then it would be much easier to activate it.
