First off, the hardest part. The database, you will need to add the following three tables:


CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `forum_answer` (
`question_id` int(4) NOT NULL default '0',
`a_id` int(4) NOT NULL default '0',
`fid` int(4) NOT NULL default '0',
`a_name` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
`a_email` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
`a_answer` longtext NOT NULL,
`a_datetime` varchar(25) NOT NULL default '',
KEY `a_id` (`a_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;



CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `forum_question` (
`fid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`topic` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`detail` longtext NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
`email` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
`datetime` varchar(25) NOT NULL default '',
`view` int(4) NOT NULL default '0',
`reply` int(4) NOT NULL default '0',
KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=12 ;



CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `forum` (
`fid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`topic` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`threads` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`posts` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`fid`),
UNIQUE KEY `topic` (`topic`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=9 ;


Now, once you have that, all you have to do is upload the following pages to where ever your adoptables script is held.

If you have any questions about the script, just ask me, I won't bite =D

Alright, it should be simple.
If it doesn't work, what ever you do, do NOT mess around with the code, without telling me what you did.

Okay...A little problem.

What would be the link to the forum, assuming that the site is yoursite.com or something?

To the forum?
the Forum Index is
the:
main_forum2.php file

The index of the chosen forum, is the:
main_forum.php file.

Lol I was lazy at the time so i didn't make a big different between the names.

This looks fantastic! I'm so going to give it a try :)[hr]
Well, I ran the database queries, and uploaded all the pages. When I go to the main forum page it loads just fine, and I have the 'create new topic' link. But when I click it, I get this:

Warning: file_get_contents(templates/default/template3.html) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/densauge/public_html/clickables/create_topic.php on line 130

You need to make sure each page has the Template you want.
Each one of these has a different one, other then the default one.

I got it. Is there a way to add an edit function? So people can edit posts?

I'm actually working on that right now.

Let me tell you... It's not easy :(

Also, as far as this particular script goes. There will be no more updates.

You'll have to become a Premium Member for Updates. Which I think you are ;)

Lol sure.
But if you get anything interesting tell me =P

Oh, and don't come crying to me if you mess everything up. Especially if you tinker with the Query ;) lol
densaugeo
05-16-2009, 03:19 PM
LOL I won't tinker with the query.

I have to ask, is there a max length a post can be? If I try to post anything over 2-3 sentences, it won't show up at all. but if i post something short and maybe only a few words, it shows up fine.

Oh jeese um..

the reply can only be 65 characters long ( i dont know what I was thinking, that will fixed in the update)
and the thread (first post) is set to long text, so i guess theres not limit to that.. =/

No, don't lol im sure its the way I had the database set up. Its working fine for me. But Ill make sure everything works in the next update. Which wont be long.

I just figured out how let people update the first post. But now the replies dont want to cooperate lol.

Wow you're quick. It'd take me forever to figure something like that out, LOL. I spend hours staring at code and reading guides, and I'm still pretty much useless.
