psyBBS - bulletin board software

psybbs

A GPLv3/CC licensed Bulletin Board Software using PHP/MYSQL

###What is psyBBS? psyBBS is a platform for managing discussions, a de-facto web forum portal. It is being put together for learning and personal use at the moment. What does psyBBS stand for? No, it has nothing to do with the korean guy. Pronounced psybbs as in 'sye'bee'bee'ess. Like sci-fi, or psycho. It doesn't really mean anything.

##NOTE This is and will be full of bugs right now, consider this software as pre-alpha quality. Some features are missing and/or need to be rewritten, so it's not very usable as of now. Most of the functions handling $_GET and $_POST input should be sanitised already. Be cautious however.

##Features

• Splash page
• Topic listing
• Thread listing (with page filter)
• Post listing (with page filter)
• BBCode
• Web based administration
• Login / Registration captcha
• Global user customization
• Local user customization
• Simple stats
• Gravatar support
• Search querys

##Project Goals

• W3C XHTML / W3C CSS3 valid
• SQLi and XSS resistant
• Fast
• Easy to administer
• Extendable with plugins (possibly)

##How to Install

• Clone the master branch into your web server root
• Add your MySQL server connectiont to include/config-example.php
• Rename it to include/config.php
• Navigate to index.php
• When processed, 'include/top.php' will check if a database exists, and automatically creates it
• Log in with your primary admin account and click the 'settings' tab in the userbar for further configuration

##Preview

##Licensing The code of psyBBS is released under the General Public License version 3. Graphics/Artwork are released under various Creative Commons licenses (no stricter that cc-by-sa). Themes/plugins are advised to be released as any "free" license of your choosing (MIT, GPL, BSD, etc)

psybbs's Issues

Improve look of post/reply forms

Implement Board Settings via DB entries

config.php values should be placed into a table at install time, so that it can be easily changed from board settings.

Ideas:

Board Name [edit]
Board Slogan [edit]
Board Announcement [on|off|edit]
Board Rules [edit]
Board Lockdown [public|private|locked]
Board Logo [image|disable]
Board splash [image|disable]
Login Captcha [on|off]
Post Captcha [on|off]

Clicking "back" results in unfilled <div> area

Pages render fine when loaded as clicked/navigated, but going "back" in the browser controls results in this strange behaviour:

Browsers affected:

• firefox

Browsers not affected:

• chrome

Modify user not implemented

Create a "light" variant for the default theme

There should be a light theme aswell as a dark theme with the defaults.

User Settings: Allow user to change email address

Now that registration requires an email address (currently only used to set a gravatar), the user should be able to change/update it in their account settings.

Set board timezone via settings.php

Avatars

Add secondary password input box when changing password

This should be added to to stop users from mistyping their new password, and thus being locked out of the account.

Thread display has staircase effect in chrome engines

Browsers affected:

• vivaldi
• google chrome

URL:

/index.php?topic=default

Posting reply (wrap text for long strings)

overflowing text is obscured by post boundaries. fix this

Web Installer

Instead of just dumping a load of defaults into the database, present the operator with a step by step setup where customized defaults can be entered by form input.

Edit topic not implemented

Form styling (lack of).

Fix all input forms for posting threads, replies, and search queries.

Forms that look nice at the moment are:

• Login
• Create

Deleting a post from a thread where only one post is present, does not delete the thread

delReply() should remove the thread entirely if there is only one existing post, when it is removed.

Page filtering for posts changes url formatting

Since 2cda5c2

This doesn't work:

/bbs/index.php?topic=default&id=5

This does:

/bbs/index.php?topic=default&id=5&page=1

Page one must be set because it's required by array_keys

Add topic status showing the last post subject

currently "last post by Unimplemented", change this to topic name that was last posted.

Javascript: BBCode buttons on forms

Form submissions for replies / thread creation should have BBCode "icons" or buttons that insert BBCode into the form.

configurable topic icons

This should be just a fallback icon if no custom one is specified:
https://github.com/Jigoku/psybbs/blob/master/theme/default/icon/folder.png

Allow the operator/admin to set individual icons for each created topic.

Lock user not implemented

Improve search querys.

• limit
  To prevent spam/server load, limit users depending on their assigned user level.

Operators/Moderators would have zero limitations.
Members would have a generous 10 seconds between searches.

Guests (when implemented, as board requires login to view right now) would be limited to a search every 30 seconds.

• configurable
  Minimum amount of characters.
  Just posts, or just topics, or both.

Replace page number with "start position"

Using this method to find a "page" is simpler to manage, and should be easier to redirect to actual "start position" in the thread when a user searches for a post (given that the search link should send the user to the page the comment actually exists on).

Make documents W3C valid (CSS3/XHTML)

Add checking for multiples ('s) if needed

"Search returned 0 results" - fine
"Search returned 1 results" - should be 1 result

User level aliases should be set in DB

Merge user level aliases into global table, read/write and add area in settings.php to configure them.

configurable captcha colours

Have some palettes the user can select from. This would require plugin support for script directory,read these into settings.php as some kind of include (maybe a seperate page within settings.php) as "plugins".

Make inital "splash page" optional

This should be a "lock mode" setting to keep unregistered users out of the board.

Add page filtering to threads and posts.

Deleting a post should send header

When deleting a post, you are sent to topic listing, instead of being sent back to the thread

Function to find actual page of post

Used for searching, we need to set page=X, where X is the actual page that the post is present on within the thread.
