New Script Database

There were no borders before and now all topics are aligned globally. The old database aligned only the scripts from the same category in a table. Plus, this one is completely integrated with the forum skin.

Drinking Game for Android      Never have I ever for Android
Drinking Game for iOS      Never have I ever for iOS

from a programming aspect it's implemented as a forum action in much the same way your profile pages is an action. where as the old database was a standalone php page.
I no longer keep up with posts in the forum very well. If you have a question or comment, about my work, or in general I welcome PM's. if you make a post in one of my threads and I don't reply with in a day or two feel free to PM me and point it out to me.<br /><br />DropBox, the best free file syncing service there is.<br />

Previously it wasn't so much a standalone PHP page as it actually was a custom component in the Joomla CMS.

I can't believe I haven't noticed this. Epic --just as I was finally thinking I should get back into Rmxp one time and actually start a serious project.

May I ask if "everything" you did was look all the topics' titles and organize them according to its tags? (With "everything" I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just asking if that is the "only" thing that had to be done)

the script database is automated, there is a php script that analyses topics in the database board and pulls the needed information to sort them in the list.

Ah yes, I forgot about the automated system  :haha:

So yeah, when you create a new thread, that php script automatically picks the needed information(by using tags) in order to add it to the database and sort them categorically.
So nice  :)

I wonder if this actually one of the only forums that actually use a fully automated script database..

Also, couldn't we make a database for everything - not everything - ? Including event tutorials 'n stuff

Well, I never programmed in php but it doesn't seem that difficult(issue-wise)

Edit:
Can I take a look on that php script that winkio made?

That's why it's important that the topic header fits the template. The PHP script expects the to be in a specific format and analyzes them for the necessary data (that includes [XP] and similar tags as well).

Honestly? It would probably take me half an hour as I can simply copy-paste and edit some code. But that isn't the reason why we haven't done it so far. There simply aren't so many tutorials/event systems that it really makes sense. Scripts on the other side, we have currently a few hundred of those so the situation is a bit different and it's difficult to find what you need. Also, event systems are usually harder to categorize.

Well, its true that it may be hearder to categorize event systems, but they are pretty much the same as scripts...internally, they are eventually the same :p I think that it would be nice to have an event automated database. No1 would stop us from adding more tags or what not, and yes, tags are really essencial  :)

What really would need work is editing all topics and making sure all headers are correctly set up.

Indeed :) But after that, it would be easy to have a complete automated database ^^  :)

Quick necro to mention that we should probably add MV scripts to the actual database button up top.

Would it be possible to use regexp and sub out the tab "\t" and replace with like 4 spaces "&nbsp;"?

I personally prefer the tab. If you don't like the formatting, it is always possible to change the tab space, but not the other way around.
I am done scripting for RMXP. I will likely not offer support for even my own scripts anymore, but feel free to ask on the forum, there are plenty of other talented scripters that can help you.
