I can help you develop phpbb-based cms with (hopefully) everything you need

I'm thinking about rewriting some parts of the forum template to be more XHTML-friendly - it pisses me that the main page is valid XHTML, but only without the stuff fetched from forum.

I'm doing most of the stuff like that by embedding information into [hidden] tags in posts and then processing it outside of the forum.

[hidden]Woah! Hidden blocks![/hidden]Cool. I never knew about [hidden] stuff... I'll have to fiddle with that a bit.
All I need now is [html] so I can do stuff like:
[html]<div class="main"><h2>Important thing!</h2><p><img src="uselesspicture.png" alt="Picture thing" style="float: right;"/>
This is important text. I'll have a real reason to use html when I can incorperate CSS from my page.
</p></div>[/html]

Thx for the offer but for now I will leave it as it is. I put so much work now into the whole system to make it look and work like I want it and I don't want to change that again, really!

I think you're missing the point. It's not so much about what
you want, it's about what the person
who's paying for the webspace wants.

Heh. I'm not forcing anybody to do anything
. But still, I prefer small & clean things, not bloated & dirty.

That's because I've added it yesterday

You can do something like [hidden]Html:
stuff[/hidden] and make your page parse that.

Oh, I'm not saying you were. I was merely implying that completely dismissing your host's request (especially when they are offering their own concessions to accomodate your needs) isn't entirely respectful...

Well, Grubber, I won't delete Joomla again and restart to add all the content back to yet another cms or phpbb based thing
but if you want me to help cutting down Joomla by removing all the useless code, the useless modules and everything that isn't needed I'd be okay with that
I know there's lots of stuff in there that I don't need actually but as I said: I want to keep it!

I've just checked the ftp and there's 344 MB (!!!) in 11331 files in your directory. Can you tell me what is all that content?

I've been using this function I wrote to convert most of the BBCode to XHTML. Note that you have to set a fetch variable so it works properly.
Code: Select all
$CFG['posts_enable_bbcode'] = false;

Damn, this is something I must have missed... I uploaded some of my image galleries but obviously they need so damn much space that I should remove them again. I will do this as soon as I have internet access at home again... or can I leave them as they are?

Try to fit it under 100 MB, but better under 50 MB. Your data is now more than 2 times bigger than all the other hostees' data.

Pictures have already been removed, now I wait for /idgames to update my files and then I will also remove the downloads!
