UseBB Community

Just to keep people informed: work on UseBB 2 has already begun and I have chosen to use the Database layer from eZ Components. This one is based on PDO and has about the same API with an added query abstraction layer. It should allow the use of MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL and Oracle, although it is only tested with MySQL for the time being.

The registry-based configuration system is ready, and I am currently working on the session handling.

So, for anyone hoping we are dead: sorry, we aren't.

Also see the following blog post for an update on the new session system.

Highlights:
- Database powered;
- Advanced checks (on user agent string and/or (partial) IP address matching);
- IPv6 support;
- Consumes only 2 SQL queries.

This new system will fix the following problems in UseBB 1.0:
- Random session data lose-bug;
- Proxy users who keep being logged out or lose session data;
- No special actions needed to work on a server pool;
- IPv6 users will finally be able to use a discussion board.

Keep an eye on the next update.

Nice, things are looking good ^_^.

It looks like it is everything starting to take shape nicely.

I'd have to agree with this.

Another post was made about the registry system.

It will definately be interesting to see how your registry system turns out
