The phpBBModders.net beer blog is not about beer, as the name may suggest. Here we discuss what’s going on in the phpBB world.

Devteam += ToonArmy.

by eviL<3 on 12 Jun 2008, 16:28

The phpBB development team is a mystery to many. First we had the mysterious join of APTX, who still has a total of 7 posts. At area51 he has a few more. He didn't commit very much to the SVN, actually hardly anything else than the base for the brand new bbcode parser! His name is "Marek", according to the SVN checkins.

Then there is another mysterious face, that was added not too long ago. You do not know anything about this person. He is not in the dev team officially, if you go to the code forge, however, you will see "Manuel Pichler". Who is this person? Further research shows, that he has a blog, and seems also Zend PHP5 certification. He is developer of a project called "phpUnderControl". Maybe this is related to the not-too-old "code sniffer"?

And now we have a new development team member: ToonArmy. This name however should ring a bell. ToonArmy has been very active at phpBB.com, with 1152 posts. The addition did happen pretty fast though. I congratulate him to this addition, and i'm curious to see some contribution!

Yay. :beer:

As you are on the phpBB Team can you not ask the dev team leader about these? :)

I guess i could, but i don't want to bother him, the dev team are busy folk :D. I did however get the opportunity to ask something about this in london(vasion).

phpBB is going to use Unit testing, which means that there are tests that test a specific part (unit) of code. The test are written in PHP and run automatically, this makes it easy to check if things are working. You can take it a step further and write the test first and then design the code so it fulfills the test. Manuel Pichler is one of the people behind PHPUnderControl, which is a tool for generating development-relevant information. It also can run PHPUnit tests. The code sniffer is also part of it, it's used to make sure the code follows the coding standards. It works similar like PHPUnit, and also uses tests, it's a PEAR package.

In case anybody is interested. :mrgreen:

That's what i wanted to write originally, but thought this way there's less possibility to give false information. :P
