Search the Community

I want to make something like this... Where user can create forum topic.. But, I will be using the parameter below.. (similar to form/input code of login/sign up).. The issue is that I have no understanding of what to put. 1) In the configuration ini text 2) As a code to display.

It has always been a dream of mine to offer an Internet forum. In fact, see my preliminary attempt here: http://jfknumbers-forum.org/forums/ I am a 1-person Not-for-Profit, Free Open Source operation. The phpBB software forum is free, the only price I can afford. Their support is simply some of the worst I have seen. TIA, -Ramon F. Herrera JFK Numbers

It's getting frustrating having to wait on the timer before being allowed to proceed the search on the forum for answers for my coding problems. I understand it's a measure against bots/server flooding, but isn't it better options around that doesn't put so strict limitations on us users?

Hey guys, i want to include a forum on my website. How can i do this? And maybe there is a way to make a template for this in w3, too? Hope for reply: David

I am new. I was working thru the tutorials when I discovered that all of my work on the exercises disappeared. So, as I was searching for a resolution, discovered the forums. I tried to register and it said it already had my email address. I don't recall every registering before. After "retrieving" my "lost password", to my horror I find my email address displayed as my username. And worse, no way to change it???? 1. How do I change my display name. (It is NOT listed for me as an option under Settings) 2. How do I retrieve the work I did on my exercises. (my cookies have not been deleted on my computer since I began them) Thanks to anyone who can assist me with this.

I post regularly on forums and blogs that allow HTML in the post but of course there is no access to CSS and anything "fancy" (inline CSS type things) is stripped. Things like border widths, coloring, object with, _blank are allowed and so on. Sometimes I forget the sytax or even wording of formatting I have used in the past and try to look it up. So many sites that I have used in the past now say, "not used for HTML 5" and then do not give any reference to the old command. Is this to say that documents using HTML4 will not be recognized? Most recently I was doing a post on a closed WordPress blog. I wanted buffering around a photo using the traditional table method, line widths and colors, and cell background coloring. Everything I researched gave me how to do with CSS. I'm not going to tear apart a WordPress site that regularly switches themes and each post and some pages have custom elements just to hard code the CSS. To top it off, this is a multisite which, if you are not familiar with WordPress, means one base set of web instructions and database form the foundation for many "web sites" (in my case) each of a different theme and design elements. Some are out of the box, some highly tweaked. And yes, I know how to make child themes. So, does the use of HTML5 mean all the posts on blogs and forums will need to be updated and what happens to those that happily use old-style formatting which does exactly what is needed and desired and not have the more modern inline scripting that is not allowed sometimes. (or, for old fogeys as I, harder to remember)

Hello! I am kind of new to HTML and CSS so please bare with me if I don't understand what you mean Anyway, I have been building a website for a game I play and it needs to have a forum on it. Now I have no idea how to make a forum, my Dad has before but he has forgotten. I have heard it is something to do with PhP? I have used that once before. So my question is would it cost me to make a forum? How long would it take me? And what do I need to know? Thanks in advance

EDIT: i found out myself, sorry for a empty post! ..

Hello w3s.i'm not sure if i have asked in the right forum, was unsure if i should put the question in PHP or SQL area, anyways. i have attached a image where i show my so called forum so far made myself without trouble.Now i have ran into trouble that i would like to ask help for. LOOK AT PICTURE FOR THE IDEA here is my code: Menu: $HTMLOUT .= box_start("Forum Menu");$fm_res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mod_forum_menu ORDER BY fm_id ASC");$get_fc_id = (isset($_GET['fc_id']) ? '?fc_id='.$_GET['fc_id'].'&' : '?');//if isset...if (mysql_num_rows($fm_res) > 0)//if bigger than 0...{while($fm_array = mysql_fetch_assoc($fm_res))//fm = forum_menu{ $HTMLOUT .= "(<a href='forums_v1.php".$get_fc_id."fm_id=".$fm_array['fm_id']."' alt='".$fm_array['fm_name']."'>".$fm_array['fm_name']."</a>) ";}}else{$HTMLOUT .= "No forum menu added yet, please contact First Line Support for further information!...";}$HTMLOUT .= box_end(); Forum Categories: /*Category Forums...*/if(isset($_GET['fm_id'])){$fc_res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mod_forum_cats WHERE fc_id = ".$_GET['fm_id']);}else{$fc_res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mod_forum_cats ORDER BY fc_id ASC");}/*Category Forums...*/$get_fm_id = (isset($_GET['fm_id']) ? '?fm_id='.$_GET['fm_id']."&" : '?');//if isset...if (mysql_num_rows($fc_res) > 0)//if bigger than 0...{//$HTMLOUT .= "Forum(s) succes showed...<br />";while($fc_array = mysql_fetch_assoc($fc_res))//fc = forum_category{ $HTMLOUT .= "<div id='forum_cats_title_wrapper'>"; $HTMLOUT .= "<a href='forums_v1.php".$get_fm_id."fc_id=".$fc_array['fc_id']."'>".$fc_array['fc_name']."</a><-FORUM CATEGORY LIKE LH!..."; $HTMLOUT .= "</div>"; $HTMLOUT .= "<div id='under_forum_cats_title_wrapper'>"; $HTMLOUT .= "--<a href='#'>ACTUAL FORUM 1 HERE...</a><br />"; $HTMLOUT .= "--<a href='#'>ACTUAL FORUM 2 HERE...</a>"; $HTMLOUT .= "</div>";}}else{if($CURUSER['class'] >= UC_ADMIN)//equal or over ADMIN level for this message...{ $HTMLOUT .= " Admin Message:<br /><br /> Remember to add a Forum category before the real forums can be showed!...";}else{ $HTMLOUT .= "No forum categories added yet, please contact First Line Support for further information!...";}} now, i have done almost everything correct, i think, i have not errors so far.My trouble now lies in that i need to output the actual forums lying under the Forum Categories...how to do this in an another SQL?, the current one as you see is inside a while loop, and i should as far as i have been thinking, be in the same while loop... ideas?... PS:if you need more info, tell me so and i will try to explain in details of what i am doing, thanks again! ...

I've made this typo million times on w3schools that i've entered address w3schools.com/forums and that page displays error "page doesn't exist". I would like that w3schools.com/forums would redirect same way as w3schools.com/forum would do.

How do I mark all forums read?I have just found this excellent resource and cannot see how to mark all forums read without visiting all the forums individually.

hello everyone... a question is needed to be asked... in this forum here: www.tbdev.net then they are using Invision Board (IP-Board Forum)...but what version i dont know and i dont care... the thing i do care about is 2 othet stuff at my own site here: www.speed-scene.com when i am adding a code to the site forum in the 'Speciel BBcode' tool and then chose PHP orr such, and same with a Normal Code tag...then in the code automaticly, its adding stuff like font size and such... even true its a SQL/PHP im adding... and i have no clue how to fix... so hoping someone can give me a answer... also... the second thing i cared about was that when a new member orr such are trying to make a new thread, then a moderator has to accept he's post before it will be showed... can someone tell me how to fix that so it will do this automaticly?... Thanks in advance as useally! ...
