FluxBB configuration 

Introduction 

Much lighter than phpBB ! Smaller, less features (use the plugins), and supposedly more active than PunBB. 

Installation 

Deploy FluxBB, 

tar xvzf fluxbb-1.2.22.tar.gz

mv fluxbb-1.2.22/upload path/to/vhost

Eventually deploy your prefered language pack, 

cd lang

wget http: //fluxbb.org/download/lang_packs/1.2/French.zip

unzip French.zip

Create a database, user with grants and run the install script, 

http: //example.net/install.php

Update 

cp fluxbb-1.2.22/extras/12_to_1222_update.php path/to/vhost

Unlock 

cp fluxbb-1.2.22/extras/turn_off_maintenance_mode.php path/to/vhost

PTPImages plugin installation 

Deploy the plugin, 

cd plugins

wget http: //www.ptp-images.com/mod/fluxbb.zip

mkdir ptp

unzip fluxbb.zip -d ptp

cp ptp/en/ptpimages.php ..

#cp ptp/fr/ptpimages.php ..

cd ..

note. yes, it needs to be copied to forum's root dir 

edit the plugin, 

vi ptpimages.php

change the URL, 

define('URL_VERS_CETTE_PAGE','http: //www.example.net/ptpimages.php');

Enable the plugin, 

cp post.php post.php.dist

vi post.php

search for, 

<textarea name="req_message"

add ID to the tag, 

<textarea name="req_message" id="req_message"

then search for, 

Hide smilies

and look down to the end of the PHP condition, after, 

<?php

}

?>

add, 

<? /* PTP Images Addon -- BOF */ ?>

<div id="divptpimages"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">var email_user = "<?if (isset($pun_user['email']) && $pun_user['email']!='')  echo $pun_user['email'];?>";</script>

<script type="text/javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http: //www.ptp-images.com/js/fluxbb.js"></script>

<? /* PTP Images Addon -- EOF */ ?>

delete from users where group_id=32000;

Manually switch some user (e.g. fluxuser) to administrators group (MySQL), 

select * from users where username='fluxuser';

update users set group_id=1 where username='fluxuser';
