Re: time to say goodbye to newbb?

Spot on! If I knew there was an intention to enhance newbb to include some of the features it's lacking over the Invision and Phpbb boards, then I'd have no hesitation in sticking with newbbBut to my knowledge there are no plans to develop the newbb feature set further (I may well be wrong on this), and the fact I don't posess the skills to code it myself means that if I wish to have these added features my current options are somewhat limited.


I'm not as involved in the XOOPS project as I used to be, other than trying to help market it. But I would be willing to bet that the Devs are working on enhancing NewBB for the next major release. And I'm sure the devs are monitoring this thread as well. I think other than complaining about NewBB and saying that PHPBB or IVasion etc.... is better, or contains more features than NewBB. I think a more constructive thread would be, you guys tell us what your dream enhancements to NewBB would be. I will put all the suggestions into a nice requirements document and then we can go from there.

I would actually be interested in finding out exactly what new features everyone would like to see added to XOOPS for the next few releases. Maybe we as a community can actually draw up a community roadmap, and then the new module development team, the core team, and other devs can submit hacks and improvements based on what everyone comes up with.

Things needed in NewBB Core (in my opinion ):

In order of inportance:

1. New posts since last visit should be saved in the database per user instead of using cookies. With cookies it gets screwed up if you clean out your cookies or log in from another computer.

2. Group management for private forums.

3. Better moderation as mentioned erlier in this thread.

4. (While a bit of topic) Tying notification to the PM's.

Thank you!

OK, this is still not going well and I'd really like to try to use the module.

I've tried the suggestions here...even working a mix of the two suggestions together. While I can go through and prepare the module, one weird thing I have noticed is that once I think it is all done, and go into XOOPS ready to install it...Xoops thinks both modules (TinyContent and its Clone) are "sportsdraw" (the name of my clone) ??

This is weird...two separate folders...one named "sportsdraw" and one named "tinycontent"...neither of which has any reference to the other, but XOOPS insists on seeing their contents as almost the same?

Disabling cookies may make it worse... not better...

I use ZA at home w/o issues.... I administer both a remote site with xoops, as well as a local copy (for testing).... and I've never had any issues here either.

No, it doesnt' sound like that's the problem, but I can't verify either way at the moment. I am still working on my own Gallery install on XOOPS 2.0.3, but I haven had time in a few days (I broke it in my efforts to fix it ).

I think maybe you set a lower security level.

This is simple to resolve: in the cache folder, you'll find a file called adminmenu.php. You'll need to chmod that file to 666, so the system can write changes to the admin menu
