New Blocks

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Two new blocks were recently added to the svn. The first was wolfgrafix’s Total Hits Block which keeps track of how many hits your site has, and the second one is my Top Five Posters block which lists the top five forum posters on your board (with help from technocrat). Im hoping that come Alpha 1 that we will have a wide selection of blocks to choose from.

Also, as a side note, Ive been continuing to work on the weblinks module, and its slowly starting to take shape.

Project Update 7/31/08

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Hello All,
As my first post, I figured I would update you all to the status of the development of phpBB-Evolution.

We currently have 7 blocks available,

  • Info Block — displays some useful information about the CMS.
  • Link Us Block — displays an image and code visiters can use to add a link to their site pointing to yours.
  • Menu Block — displays a module specific menu to make it easier to navigate through such module.
  • Navigation Block — displays a navigation menu, that in the future admins will be able to customise through the ACP.
  • Statistics Block — displays basic info about the cms and forums. Will be updated in the future to contain info from different modules.
  • User Info Block — displays a login form for unregistered users, and basic options/info for logged-in members, such as their avatar, logout link, # of new PMs, link to UCP, and for admins, link to the ACP.
  • Whos Online Block — displays a list of users who are on the site. Also shows the number of unregistered users on the site. In the future, will display where in the site a member is.

We currently have 2 modules available,

  • Forums — an obvious one to be listed first. The forums module uses phpbb3 that is highly modified. We’ve made tweaks to the system ourselves as well as implemented certain mods released by modders at phpbb’s website.
  • News — displays active news articles on the module’s main page. Also has an archives section that contains older articles. Another component of the news module is the ability to submit new articles. Features of news articles are categories, how times its been read, its rating by users, the ability to print, email, or view a pdf version of the article, and the ability to have users comment on the article. Right now, in the works is to have the ability to tie the comments to forum posts. In the ACP, the News Admin is split into four sections, the New News, News Config, Current News, and Submitted News. the New News is where you can create new news articles, the News Config is were you can configure the news module, the Current News is where you can edit/delete news articles from the db, and the Submitted News section is where you can approve/deny submitted articles from users.
