Hello, Just checked www.php.org again and see they have the following features that are still lacking on our site: AvantGo (this is for PDAs, right? They are using it for something else) Downloads MembersList Statistics Submit News Latest Threads I don't know. It appears they have alot of stuff. Is that simply due to repetition of the same thing?

The base code for ubbthreads has memberslist "userlist", statistics (in the control panel), and latest threads. We don't have downloads or avantgo, I haven't heard of that one.

Avantgo is a service for PDA's like the Palm, Visor, PocketPC, etc. which allows you to "download" certain webcontent which can then be viewed on your PDA when you aren't actually connected to your computer.
It works pretty well, although when I used to use it a long time ago, the content was fairly limited.

Hello,
Oh yes, some of the features are in the basecode of the BB software. However, is it possible to make it show up in the front page as well? It helps for some people to see what new messages have been posted on the front page. As for Avantgo, I see it in multiple PHP based portal software and it appears to be picking up in popularity.

Check your add-ons folder for several pre-made scripts that can be pulled to the front page or most any page... you may need to change paths in them for them to work [] https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/smile.gif[/]

I was wondering if you have seen the test site I'm using to integrate a "front page" with the forums? Just in case not, here is the URL: http://www.chattersonline.com/testI do plan on a downloads section but I will not be able to track the number of actual downloads without an external flat file database. This should be good enough for any site that's not a "download" site but just wants to keep track of any file attachments popularity. The User List is the Members List. I don't see much of a reason to modify what's there. [] https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/smile.gif[/] There are statistics that are recorded already but I think your speaking of things such as referers, browser versions, hits, paths, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly charts and things of that nature. This is a bit beyond the scope of what I am trying to do but somewhere down the road I would like this myself... [] https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/wink.gif[/] I will be including a "submit news" link for others to submit their articles to a board and depending on the boards settings, wait for approval before they are displayed. The news section already displays news articles posted in the "news board" to the front page so it's just a matter of providing a link to the newpost.php script for that board. I was working on a "Latest Threads" hack but earlier today noticed that there was one... I think, by MattyJ. I didn't get a change to look at it, just seen the post listed. This is also just another way of displaying what's already been added to the forums. A lot of the things I'm trying to do involve trying to use what is already there, for the most part. Once I think I have done all that there can be with what's there I'll look into creating some more in depth addons.

The integrated index page? I don't know, it's not been in question but probably not. UBBThreads is forum software, not a web portal. (these are presumptions on my part, not gospel... lol) [] https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/wink.gif[/]

Would this just be a moderated forum where posts are submitted and moderators/admins approve them? The approved posts/reviews/etc can then be pulled to the front page into a "news/revoews" table.

Exactly! [] https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/smile.gif[/] The current database query looks for approved posts only already so that part is done. I'm going to work on putting the current "News" section variables into an array so that more simular displays can be placed on the front page and then just loop through. Things such as "News" and "Reviews" and what ever else is wanted can be displayed up front. [] https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/smile.gif[/]
