AdvancedBB

AdvancedBB is a new forum system in development, challenging Tony's SimpleBB (http://forum.ragezone.com/f86/simple...9/#post5874925)

Demo:

IDGames.NET Forums

Other demos:
BBCode Parser

Developers:

• David
• Eirik

Features:

• AST (Abstract syntax tree) based validating BBCode Parser
• MySQL optimized
• Utilizes caching.
• Written in Object Oriented PHP
• Readily customizable template system
• W3C XHTML/CSS compilant
• Database abstraction, MySQL, MySQLi, PostgreSQL etc. To support another database management system (DBMS), all that needs to be done is create a new class that implements the database driver.
• Abstracted session storage mechanism. Sessions can be stored in the default PHP session ($_SESSION) or in the database.

A few code examples:

Adding a new tag to bbcode (via callback):

PHP Code:

---

        $parser->parsers['s'] = array(
            'handler'   => 'advancedbb_bbcode_handle_strikethrough',
            'allow_in'  => array(
                'inline',
                'block',
                'list-item'
            ),
            'class'     => 'inline'
        );

Adding a new tag to bbcode (via static open/close tags):

PHP Code:

---

        $parser->parsers['s'] = array(
            'open'    => '<span style="text-decoration:line-through">',
            'close'   => '</span>',
            'allow_in'  => array(
                'inline',
                'block',
                'list-item'
            ),
            'class'     => 'inline'
        );
