AGAIN?!?

I did see that bit about the ACP folder location being defined in the config file too, earlier, thought that was a good idea.

I think there should be constants for every page... INDEX_PAGE = 'index', VIEWTOPIC_PAGE = 'viewtopic', etc. This would be much better, in my opinion, cause it would make it much easier for users that want to change their index page to board.php, for instance. Overall, I think phpBB3.0 has everything needed for phpBB3, but it doesn't make things too much easier for modders who want to change things like that. They make it a royal pain...

The ACP doesn't have to be AJAXed since it's only for admins.

Another good idea for security is saving the user ids of those allowed to access the ACP in the config file.

Also I think that the config file should have 644 permissions from now on.

Modders shouldn't change it. That would break all compatibility. It's easy to change it, just do a search-replace-in-files for:

Code: Select all

index.$phpEx

Code: Select all

index.' . $phpEx

Ok, I guess not modders, but people that want to change it. My point is, currently, it is basically set in stone. Keep in mind, the phpEx var/constant is for the php extension, which, changing it, would break all compatibility, as far as I know...yet it's still there.

I don't get what you're trying to say with that. $phpEx / PHP_EXT exists because some hosts misconfigure and users are not knowledged enough to enable .php support, so they have to use .php5. And changing the extension on all files will not break any compatibility of any MODs (if they follow guidelines and use $phpEx correctly).

IMO the filenames themselves should in general not be changed. I don't see the point. If you want to change them just do a quick replace on all files. I don't see the gain of changing it.

Anyway, just my opinion.

Erm, I think that it does use that. You just have to set it to rw-rw-rw- (666 I think) for in the install so that phpBB can write the info it needs to it.

[harmlessgoat22]

Just because you may not want to change the filename does NOT mean someone else might not have a perfectly good reason for doing it. Just because I have no use for a portal (except for the support site...which wouldn't exist without it...) doesn't mean I can't make it so others can use it.

Just use apache's DirectoryIndex, works perfectly while maintaining compatibility.

An advanced search system:

Why not an accordion topic nested system? its like AJAX style that they do for menus.

So you can set up different topics etc how they should appear with or without accordion effect on the site.

I'm not sure I know what you mean.. I tried a couple search queries in Google, and still can't seem to find anything on it. Could you link to an example or describe it more?

[BetaDevil]

I think that's something like:

Code: Select all

Something like threads?

For some reason, the threaded topic mode for vB comes to mind.
