Well after long decisions i realised it would take me way too much time to buy a new base unit pc, so i am buying back my old base unit, speakers, keyboard and 19" screen off my friend for ├é┬ú100.

So i will be finally able to play Spring once again.

Why am i posting here? Because i use Ubuntu 24/7 i don't ever use windows anymore.

So if anyone needs testing done i can do it since i have tuesdays and wednesdays off work :)

Ahh, now that you have some time,.. can you integrate your PhpBB parser work into the new site? As it's quite a hackjob how I got it to work at this moment.

I actually don't use instant messaging, and I only touch irc if I really have to.

What exactly do i need to do, is there a reason you cannot implement my mod yourself?

The following files have some code in it to read stuff from the messageboard.
https://spring.clan-sy.com/svn/spring/t ... /index.php
https://spring.clan-sy.com/svn/spring/t ... l/news.php
https://spring.clan-sy.com/svn/spring/t ... wnload.php
Index and news work more or less the same, downloads has some more tricks. No other files would use a phpbb parser.
It's "working" but can be done far better.

It uses the parser found here.
https://spring.clan-sy.com/svn/spring/t ... de.inc.php
https://spring.clan-sy.com/svn/spring/t ... esetup.php

I don't really have the time to fix it up as "it works" but as you already understand phpbb and have written a mod it should be relatively easy for you to do a better implementation.
I hope to commit a sql file (tomorrow) with a example phpbb forum layout so it's possible to do a better "localhost" setup.

I'm fine with an upgrade to phpbb3 can you help with that?

As for phpbb2, I just committed a new sql file to svn with a example phpbb installation (and a mediawiki installation).
Making it possible to have a fully functional site on your own machine.

Well i have never worked with SVN so it is of no use to me

If you make the new site with phpbb3 you can use the latest version of my mod which has an easy to follow readme and is really really easy to use.

As you use Ubuntu run this in a shell to install the Lamp stack and subversion, followed by a checkout of the Spring site in svn:

Code: Select all

sudo tasksel install lamp-server ; apt-get install subversion ; mkdir ~/tmp/ ; cd ~/tmp/ ; svn checkout https://spring.clan-sy.com/svn/spring/trunk/Site/

Then make a link from /var/www to ~/tmp/Site/www-root/

Make a spring database in mysql and import the sql file (~/tmp/Site/Documentation/spring.sql) into it.
Configure a configuration.php file according to configuration.example.php in ~/tmp/Site/

Add this

Code: Select all

Alias /wiki /var/www/w/index.php

to the end of httpd.conf in /etc/apache2/ to have a working wiki installation.
Then fire up firefox and type localhost in the address bar. Site should pop up.
I should document all this...

If you make the new site with phpbb3 you can use the latest version of your mod, I don't know if it's very easy as phpbb3 is still a (RC) release candidate, also I ran into some character encoding problems here and language support is not available like it is for phpbb2, but that last things is not that critical at this time.
