How is a forum like this created?
    #5750899 - 06/14/06 07:53 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I'm guessing html alone is not enough.  I've been searching for the answer myself, but it seems like  there is no one talking about it on here or creating a site about it.  (At least, not one I can find without searching the language name used to create one.)  Can anyone help me?  I'm confused.  :confused:

if you want a free bulletin board system, check out phpBB.

I think some versions of that have a back door in them.. might want to do a little reading to make sure you have a patch for it or version without the security risk.

That's true there were some particularly nasty exploits for phpBB a while back. People with the current version should be okay though.

php = code that runs on the server, and usually turns into HTML for the browser.

mysql = database records, way to access data faster than saving as files

I use xampp (apache+mysql) and used phpbb and now ubbthreads, and in 1 day I have mostly 60% of the functionalities I want, that's like 10% of this site tho. This place is full of great coding by the admins, I whish I knew how to do half of those things!!

Anyway, with phpbb you can have an easy to maintain forum in about 2 hours and doesn't require you to look a lot of code either :thumbup:

All those things or you go hire someone and they do it for you. People above me have answered this pretty well but I am bored so here is the answer again with more hand holding.

So lets try and walk you through software used.

You get html sent to you by the server. The server gets that html generated by php which is running a script (program) which generates all that from data stored in a database.

Apache is the worlds most popular web server and is what this site uses. There are two main versions, both will be able to serve this content.

Then there is php that will run the script. Its a free language check out php.net for more info. Its a pretty good language though there are newer languages that seem to be passing php in terms of features and quality.


Then there is the script. This is what was created to be a message board. There are lots of them out there.

vBulletin is the popular commercial message board.
php is one of the open source ones.

Personally I like open source. Its great though not for everything.(thats another post for another time. ) Open source is free to you and that's always great.

Both scripts are written in php using a database back-end.

The database is a way to store, change, and retrieve records quickly. I personally have a database with >1 million records in a table and I get results from searching faster then I can sneeze.

Mysql is the current most popular (for smaller uses)
Postgresql is a newer database that some people believe is much better.

Putting these together is a process that takes some amount of knowledge. Getting servers that can serve the amount of data that the shroomery does takes a lot of talent. And a few things that I have not mentioned above for simplicity sake.

Web server? Apache is software right? How can it be a physical server?

Jalruza... are you being serious or was that a joke i didnt seem to get?



sporecaster, phpbb3 beta was released today. i wouldnt use it for production until the solid release comes (which should be very soon). it suppostes attachments, ratings, and many of the things we have come to love about the shroomery.

phpBB is open source right?
so you should be able to get all the functionality on this board if you look hard enough or ask for certine code right?

i always wondered about that... cuz if i ever want to open my own forum i'd like it to have most of the features we have over here! so would i have to code them my self or could i ask Ythan for his vertion of the phpBB?

though i'd probably have to do loads of work making everything run using hebrew :smirk:

No, phpbb won't work like this one, it has too many functionalities to develop yet... I canged to ubbthreads just a few days ago and the difference is incredible.

BTW, anyone know how to put a php forum like ubbthreads inside a table like it's done here?

The shroomery runs on ubbthreads, not phpbb. Still, even if you have ubbthreads the shroomery has a lot of its own scripts that don't come with ubbthreads. I just installed a copy of ubbthreads and it looks almost empty without those scripts.

The admins here did an amazing job, really.
