-Use a text space for the bio so it can exceed 255 characters.
-Same thing for a signature, youd be amazed how fast markup or html use
255 characters, 400 would be more suitable.
-A board type where only replys are allowed and only admins or moderators can post new messages
-An Active topics script to use as an include in a website
this can be a modification of a script that someone already made.. but its a simple idea.
-2 header an footer files, one for logged in and one for not logged in.
-A "Mail all users" or send private msg to all users admin function
-A way to take private message privileges from a user
-Ability to have multiple private msg recipients
-For a board not to be shown in the forum index but for it to exist still
with low permissions, so the only people who can get to it are the people who know the URL
-For you to compile a list of W3T compatible ISP's (by user input)
-If you kinda opened up the structure of the program so its easier for people
to create addins, you know made a small file with some details to make a users life easier.
-To be able to log in from the Post message screen (fill in the fields and thats it)
-A way to add your own Post icons
maybe like a file with 2 fields icon url and icon name
-Ability to create custom markup, same idea, a file or a table
that has 2 fields markup code and icon URL, its just materr of creating a sub
with this type structure
function parse markup
$result = SQL-Query-"Select * from markup"
$numrows=SQL-numrows($result) #count the number of rows in result
for($index=0; $numrows > $index; $index++){
$array[$index]=fetch_array($result) #puts the row into an array
replace"$array[$index][1]" with"$array[$index][2]" in "$post"
}
i think thats readable pseudo code as you can see i know a bit of programming...
oh yeah also this, i could code that in php if you want maybe that would be easier to understand and port, also i think that $array may need to become a hash inperl cuz its multi dimensional
so scream what you think? the thing is i dont know if DBI has functions to count rows and to ut them into an array, but i did my best. These would make WWWThreads jump way way way up into a whole new level.
one more thing can you make the url markup his style:
[ url="www.lala.com"]Lala website[ /url ]
that would be really cool. all these suggestions have taken a lot of thought please consider closely they will be usefull i guarantee that.
Are you planning on using (optionally) the new MD5 function in the new mysql? that would be pretty cool.
And finally i have a suggestion for the new programs, a news script which could turn out to be pretty usefull, news are stores in the database and the news script displays them as just news in a template, but they can be viewd in the message boards too, which would allow for mini-slashdotry kinda things, news would have an extra attribute than normal posts that only moderators or admins can set. so the news script would display the news and could then have a link to the thread in the forums. allow everyone to have theyr own mini- slashdot kinda thing, i know it sounds complicated but if you think it through its not all you would need is an extra DB column (char) that would be 0 if false 1 if true, and from there its just doing some selects and html formating, this would be sooooo awesome.
