[BETA] MapleBitCMS

[Snopboy]

Looked into how pages were handled, and made some tweaks. Thanks @kevintingg

1/3/2016 - First MapleBit commit of 2016!
- Removed SQL query for custom pages
- Removed SQL query for navbar
- Removed Mailing system
- Fixed JS issues on news, events, and GM blogs when an error occurred or cooldown was in effect.
- Removed all references to MS.

To do:
Remove GD from repository

I've been slowly phasing out any sort of relation between MapleBit and MS/Nexon property, in case you were wondering of the changes these past few weeks.

I can't understand why would you possibly remove all references to MapleStory, if it's because of Nexon then this is completely idiotic, the last thing they'd care about is whether a certain website contains references to their trademark, which by the way is completely allowed by law since it's a fair use of the trademark (i.e. the name).

In sources/public/members.php you have double commas which can lead to some errors.

Another thing is that you should not repeat yourself, instead make a new function to handle this, and call the function in each header.php file.


Another small thing is that you use too many double quotes ("), in excessive use of this, it slows the application down a bit because double quotes is used to tell the parser that there's a variable along with the string while there is none. Also this bothers me for some reason (ocd, sorry).

Nevertheless, great job! :)

If it really bothers you, you are more than welcome to submit a PR. Performance is negligible.
Also, MapleBit has never had too many references to MS. I was only able to find 2, and that was because of the gtop100 link. Removing this just furthers my project from the legal gray area of private servers, which is a good thing.

MapleBit v1.12 is now packaged and ready to go! Fixes from v1.11 are mainly concerned with the ticket system, removing mail, and minor visual and backend fixes.
You can grab it here.

That's probably because your database and website are both hosted on the same machine, you can access it using localhost/127.0.0.1
Your MySQL configurations allow only local connections (not remote) thus using the full IP which is forwarded through the subdomain - connects it over a remote connection rather than local (I might be wrong but this seems like a very probable cause).
Also this is not a help thread, in the help section there's a dedicated support thread for MapleBit, you should ask for help there.

Are you able to integrate MapleBit CMS with a completely different site not using bootstrap, etc?

For example I created a website for a server, however, I'm not completely sure how I would integrate MapleBit CMS (which they're currently using) into the site.

Any tips would be appreciated.

You do not integrate it, you edit all the output (html?) and use your own. When completely removing Bootstrap, this will give you a headache because you'll need to rewrite all the output yourself and edit it in all the files.
For convenience, use Sublime-Text, it will be easier for you to work with it than plain Notepad/Notepad++.

Hmmm... it does sound like a headache. Thanks for the info though.

No, MapleBit is not meant to be rethemed, and the code will make it extremely difficult to retheme. Any site that has been rethemed and still runs MapleBit is undoubtedly outdated. If you want an extensible and themable website, you should look into stormcaster.

Don't get me wrong, you should use your own template, however if you're not up to all the headache and extra work, simply leave the content as it is - using Bootstrap.
I've achieved really beautiful results on both MapleLeaf and ValkyriaMS without editing the content styling (mostly uses the default Bootstrap code that comes with MapleBit).

Have fun working with MapleBit, this was the way I started learning PHP, by messing around with MapleBit, hope you'll learn a lot like I did :)

iAkira is working on a pretty nice system, you guys could work together!
As for me, I'm just pushing stability updates because I'd feel bad if a lot of the sites out there suddenly became unsupported ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[holthelper]
