Wiki Op Updates

Greetings!

I have decided to not repartition the Wiki Op server as it would be too much of a hassle since there is e-mail coming to the server. Instead, I plan on cleaning up some stuff and moving it around in place. The main wikiop website will be turned into a portal so users can select a website, view information on the website and choose to visit it or not. The websites so far that can be chosen from will be the games site, fusion mods and scripts site. Depending on if VMs are up two other websites will be up which are a ModX CMS website and a CodeIgniter installation that supports LDAP.

We have also submitted Wiki Op to various search engines to hopefully draw in more traffic. Though we are switching to a different system than PHP-Fusion, we will still enable Project Honeypot to catch spammers if they slip by Cloudflare's detection system.

Nevux Ability Boards has been a project of mine for a while, the original owner wasn't continuing work on it, or disbanded it rather and I sent an E-mail to him and asked if I could pick it up. He agreed to it so I picked it up and worked on it a little bit. I haven't touched Nevux AB in a while and have decided to code two versions. An LDAP Authentication based one and a plain old MySQL based authentication.

For now that is all I have more updates will be posted as they become available. Drop by if you would like to see progress.

Site and Script Rollout

Greetings.

So this week started off good until today (Yay 1 day!) get to pay for a chair. But that's not the purpose of this. I plan on rolling out my Server Information infusion for PHP-Fusion this week or weekend. I've been working on it for a long while and most of that long while haven't touched it. Picking it back up and throwing it through the finisher to power out the remaining functions in the admin section then starting, and finishing the panel and main infusion page. I have also found another older infusion I started and got bored of.

Screencast / Movie Manager infusion. Something I started after I finished the first release of my Server Information infusion, I got a ways done and then phbbt it died out and I got bored of it. Or, found other things to do rather. I might pick this back up completely rework it then continue on with yet another mod.

Staff applications. I got quite far on this gem, though, I seem to have lost the source. Lost, maybe though it might be on my external or on the 320 GB drive in the machine under my desk. Either way, it'll be completed or started and then completed before also being released.

Now for website releases. Wiki Op Games has been partially completed though the content still needs added and all that fancy stuff. You can find it at http://games.wikiop.in/ I also decided to roll out a PHP-Fusion based website for all the above mentioned infusions so I can test and develop before releasing on the actual PHP-Fusion main website. You can find this website here. I have also decided to move Hostile Warfare to the machine Wiki Op is on since there were issues on the old server that way I can keep it up and running. There's nothing there yet but you can find it here.

All this aside, I think that's it. If I think of anything else I'll post. :D

phpBB vs SMF vs myBB

Oh no! I've reached a conundrum! I don't expect anyone to understand any of this, but, oh well.

I've decided I want to open up a site, I know "ANOTHER ONE!?!" but this time it'll be for the entire server of Wiki Op. The main domain (wikiop.in) is going to change to a portal of sorts where you can pick where you want to go by selecting through a list which will dynamically update the page with the information regarding the website. With this, the current PHP-Fusion installation will be removed and a new test site for infusions that I create will be moved either off the server, or to a new subdomain. And yes, there are a lot of them.

(Some are blotched out due to them being drop zones for screenshots which can be located across a variety of other websites or things of that nature, but that's a different story that might be told another time)

But the question is, what forum software should be used? phpBB is easy to setup though the administration section is a pain in the behind. Though SMF is the same way, the portal add-on TinyPortal is very nice and offers a ton of things that could be needed. MyBB, the forum system I've used the most and have had the mos-- Well, can't say that as I've probably used phpBB and SMF more than it. Though, it quite honestly grew on me. Kind of like PHP-Fusion instead of PHP-Nuke (Both are awesome CMS's don't get me wrong, but PHP-Fusion has a good community and is easily extensible.)

The solution is simple. Use the forum system last used. MyBB. It was used on TutorialSite, a website used for providing tutorials for various coding languages and Photoshop. It never really took off, which is sad, but that's the way the world turns. Some sites take off, others don't.

And so, this concludes a train-wreck of a post.

Decided to get Tumblr.

I've been primarily using Wordpress for my blogs and decided I would try something new. Thus far, the interface is nice, and simple to use though there really aren't any that great of free themes to use. Best bet would be to make my own, but, I'm mainly a programmer and it would turn out catastrophically. Who knows, a division by 0 error could occur and throw the interwebs into a black ho--- Wait. There already is one. I think it would be 4chan.

OH NO!

But we don't want that!

I guess that's all for now. I'll post more soon!
