Good job, thanks for your dedication to the project, definitely a good website by a good developer.
Don't see a reason in revamping the theme switching, it's good as it is (in my opinion at least).
May I suggest, instead of removing the PHPMailer, why not coding a "Forgot/Reset Password" feature that sends it to user's Email?
It shouldn't be much of a trouble
Thanks. I only really update it when I have free time on the weekends occasionally.
Theme switching was always one of the weakest features of MapleBit, and there was no reason for something so simple to be so cumbersome. The radio buttons did not properly adjust to the selected theme or navigation bar. There were so many hoops to view your theme. Now, there is only one page:You must be registered to see links
Simply click on the theme and navigation bar you want, and you can preview the page with the selected theme. Once you've found a theme you like, click "Apply theme," and you're done! (Radio buttons now adjust to selected theme/nav)
PS: I don't want to support PHPMailer due to the added configuration options.
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
You can use @mail instead of PHPMailer, no configuration needed.
Could be as simple as that:
Just define the variables with the user data and server data (say server name & email address), make a form to which the user inputs his email address associated with his account and that'll be the $email_to.PHP:@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
I'll soon start tweaking you MB site, the more I learn PHP = the more I'll add to it :3
Never said anything about registration, I only suggested to add a new feature (that doesn't exist currently and does not require any external component/extra configuration) of retrieving lost password (for registered accounts obviously).Using mail isn't a good solution, and neither is PHPMailer. Registration mails should have 100% reliability. You have to think about the target audience of MapleBit. This site aims for the "one size fits all" mantra, meaning that anyone can set it up, on any machine. Enabling and configuring mail can be a pain. If mail becomes a vital component to completing registrations, there is a very big chance that some sites may not send the email at all, which would keep people from using MapleBit.
The proper way to handle mailing would be to use a 3rd party service, such as Mandrill or Mailgun, and there's no way I would ever consider forcing people to use those services.
That being said, MapleBit is open source, so you may fork it and add your mail tweaks in.
Edit 8/2/15:
- Closed tickets can no longer have new comments added.
- Closed tickets now show that they have been closed on the User Control Panel side. (thanks @maplefreak26)
What should I use? Xampp or Wamp?

I'll add it later on and may fork your MB
Big fan of your CMS platforms, just a cool idea, should add like avatar image uploads for users that display in comments & admin posts
Even saw some server make their own forum through their cms, using the same concept as the news posts and all sorta. Would be a neat addition.
Users can already have avatars through gravatar.com
this removes the issue of having to support file uploads and file storage
Ohhh alright, yeah I was thinking of uploading the files straight to your host, yeah I guess thats better.
Nice work anyway
I was looking at something, and for some reason none of the toggle's in AdminCP work including the profile one within the navagation bar.
Since I'm new to your updating system, I don't want to replace the whole folder what did you edit so that I can fix it on my end.I did some minor restructuring the other day when I was updating the JS. Should be fixed now, thanks for reporting the issue.

Hey GreenelFx just wanted to let you know, I love you development on the website. Most modern CMS ever.
I was testing it and found out that the drop-down menus in the admin panel don't work (In some pages like the admin panel or gm but they work in Community or Content pages (which you cant access unless you're already in one of them)). Also, might want to change some options such as themes to a html list instead of radio buttons. Or maybe in the future even try connecting it to a search engine for compatible themes in bootswatch. Lastly, be sure to checkup on the Links, Game Info, and Comments tabs in the Site Configuration page. Other than that it's good.
Keep up the great work!
Hey greenelfx I like the style and everything on the site, but, I've a little issue, It doesnt work for me
It says that i've completed it and all but this is how it looks like:
(im using MapleBit-master.zip)
The only thing that didnt work was to make an Administrator account.
