I have a few questions and comments
« on: August 13, 2005, 01:59:41 am »
1.  Who wrote the Auto Installer?

2.  How are upgrades done to the forums?

3.  Do all forums share the same Sources directory?

4.  There is a coding errorin the Admin CP. 

5.  Is there an Ad-Free program?

6.  How do we create new themes?

7.  The Package Manager has not been completely disabled.  I am still able to upload files using it.

8.  It doesn't appear attachments have been disabled either.  Ths can eat up your bandwidth, and allow people to upload and execute malicious scripts.

9.  Why isn't the Moderation Log listed?

10.  Or the Error Log?

Thanks for reading. :)

I am pretty new with SMF so bare with me the next couple of days.

1. Me
2. Just edit the files hopefully, I will take a look at the next versions of SMF.
3. Yes, but I have different directores, for attachments and avaters.  I might later on add different folders for themes, and smiles.
4. What is it?
5. No yet. I may have normal install of SMF, but those will be paid. I may include domain names heh.
6. Check the SMF support forums.
7. I will look into it.
8. I allow attachments up to 10mb, i heard the attachments were some how encoded so they don't excute.
9. I might allow it.
10. Maybe

Any other ideas or suggestions let me know.

Just have to add one things. SMF rules, I love Packages, these are so awesome, beats modifying files!  I will maybe come up with a list of approved mods that you can use are your forum.

1. Ok
2.  You don't want to do this.  Trust me.  This is a MAJOR pain in the ass to have to edit everyone's forum manually.
3.  Ok
4.  Not sure, but it indicates there is an error in the Status Bar. 
5.  Ok.
6.  The Simple Machines Support Forums?  You can't install themes their way, because you have it all disabled. ;)
7.  Ok.
8.  10MB?!!  You better have a real good server then.  Let's say you host 100 forums, and they all use 10MB for files.  That's nearly 1GB of space used solely for attachments.  Then think of the bandwidth it'll eat up.
9.  I can still access and use it, it's just not listed in the ACP. :P
10.  Read #9.

Thanks. :)

Fixed Packages downloading.

Themes will work like this I plan to find some from SMF then install them.  Later on I may develop a Template Editing system. The reason I don't allow theme editing is because you can excute php code!.

Attachment limit may go down later on. Or I can turn it off now heh.

Do you want the logs back? I can put the link back in Admin CP

Keep looking for bugs or suggestions!
Thanks,

It would be cool if you could have a page, where you specify the URL of your board, your username, and password, plus a mod from a list, and it would install it. That might be neat. I really want my RPG mod done, but I don't wanna wait. Please make this!

That would take a lot of scripting and coding to do.  What I was thinking could be done, it having a Package Server for SMF For Free, and being able to choose only it from the list, and install safe and secure MODs from it. :)
