confessionary hack

basically what i would like is a hack where users can make annonymous confessions which other users and guests can then read.

i would like for the confession submission page to be seperate and for rules to be displayed next to the confession input box
some sort of page where it says all confessions are annoymous
i would like to be able to set it to accept guest confessions from the acp (sometimes the board makes enemies, they may try and flood the confession page with ++++ if guest confessing is on, so i would like to be able to turn it off if i get any problem)
and so that each confession can have it's own id number which you could then click it would show the confession seperately and then you could report it or vote for it as a good/bad confession.

now for some of you this will be like 10 minutes work, for others it could be a week but if i picked up anything from around here, i know it'll be ++++ easy :)

my thinking was it would be kinda like the shoutbox, except you'd have a different page to actually make the shout, a 3rd page to display the rules seperately and a 4th page to display the confession seperately and enable users to rate the confession/report it.

starting coding this myself it wasn't hard using the right things as reference but i've literally only just started, i got the main page and the main templates but that's it so far :)

thanks, i started on this now, and i've got enough to work with so it's live just gotta add the admin options :)

sabret00the

11-28-2003 09:41 AM

ok if anyone wants this i'll release it, it's not yet got many of the above features, well it's basically just missing the voting/rating process and the admin options but as it, works pretty well :)

Interesting confessions. Must say I like the concept of this hack. You should release it.

I did something like this, but I just made one forum show any who start the thread as private so no one can see who started it (besides userid 1)

But this one is cool too.

sabret00the

04-23-2004 01:25 PM

i was gonna release it but i never got round to adding the cool functionality that i was asking for i.e. the admin control aspect of it all

i will probably add that all when i start to make the vb3 version and then make the release :)

Did you ever make this available for VB3 sabret00the? I've been watching for some time now and done regular searches thrown in for good measure but so far... no joy in finding it if you did. This is on my "really really really like to have" hack wish list. :classic:

sabret00the

06-20-2004 12:09 AM

it will be available asap, just sorting a few things on the administration end then it'll be ready, after that then it's just a matter of me getting the live demo up and having it test properly. oh and i gotta work out the pagenav problem i'm having but that's just a condition (dirty fix).

i aint even found time to fix the user activation hack, but i got a near free week next week *crosses fingers*

Bryan Ex

06-20-2004 12:13 AM

Very cool! Drinks are on me... um, once your coding is done that is. LOL

sabret00the

06-20-2004 12:28 AM

i'll hold you to that, it's currently a nice script though, alot nicer looking than the bare bones vb2 version with a few more features too (don't get to excited) :)

Bryan Ex

06-24-2004 12:28 PM

If you need a hand with testing or anything else within my abilities (I'm not a coder but know my way around php files "okay") just let me know. I have several excellent beta testers on my site that can turn up issues that normal users may not encounter for months. I can use this addition anytime you are ready and able to share... big time.

Bryan Ex

07-02-2004 10:59 PM

Is this one still on the radar sabret00the? I just wanted to check if I should be waiting on it or if you decided against releasing it. Not looking to press... just curious on an update.

sabret00the

07-03-2004 08:06 AM

most definately is bryan and thanks for your offer of beta testing, when the script is finished i'll definately need it tested from a clean install so i'll be in touch in private, tbh i've been on major hiatus from a load of stuff due to so many factors, work, women, etc. but was looking at the code yesterday and know two bugs that i've gotta squash, it' still not finished though, i'm say 75% with one big step taking it upto 90-95% then i'll buzz around it making sure nowts missing before packaging it.

Bryan Ex

07-03-2004 08:30 AM

Sounds great and I appreciate the update. Drop me a line anytime you're ready to get into it and we'll set it up.

sabret00the

07-10-2004 09:11 AM

it's almost finished just one bug and a few template tweaks :)

hopefully i'll get time to finsih it over the weekend :o

Bryan Ex

07-10-2004 09:34 AM

Perfect timing for an update! I was just starting to wonder if I should bug ya again yet or not...lol

sabret00the

07-10-2004 07:50 PM

lol, it's just i get busy and then decide to stop working on it for a while but as it's literally just this last bit to go, i should hopefully have it atleast in beta by monday/tuesday-ish.

sabret00the

07-15-2004 08:04 AM

this is finished now, i'll have it beta testing over the next few weaks, it will get an eventual release.

Bryan Ex

07-22-2004 06:23 AM

Yeah! I got a sneak peek at the beta version and give it a "thumbs up". You're gonna like this when it's released if it's something you can use on your site folks. Way to go sabret00the!

I saw the hack working on Brian's site as well...so any news on the release of the hack??

Greets Nordinho,

sabret00the

09-11-2004 04:43 PM

i've got two bugs (one is that the deletion process won't work on some servers) and the other is that reports aren't being emailed) that's the only thing delaying release.

What's visible on my site is only part of what Sabret00he has developed. There's actually a comment system that goes with it which I've hidden from view for my specific use (it was redundant with the journals also installed on my site).

Oke thanks for the update!! I'll have to wait some longer then!!

OMG... I just checked that confessions link and read what people have posted there.

<blink blink>

/me had no idea people would confess like that

sabret00the

09-28-2004 01:39 PM

i've really not had time to try and work out the last two bugs in this system, this being the case, you can't do one of the most important things which is receive reports. if theirs anyone who wants to try ironing them out, pm me i'll send you what it is at present.

anyupdates?

sabret00the

12-26-2004 08:22 PM

gonna rewrite the hack in some places due to knowing how to fix a couple things and also the fact that the code was messed the eff up :(

example

PHP Code:


		
			
            if (!$DB_site->num_rows($confessions))

            {

                eval(print_standard_error('confessions_error'));

            }

            else

            {

                $totalconf = number_format($DB_site->num_rows($confessions));

                while ($confession_info = $DB_site->fetch_array($confessions))

                {

                    $confession_info['text'] = nl2br(stripslashes($confession_info['text']));

                    $confession_info['num_rates'] = number_format($confession_info['votes']);

                    extract($confession_info);

                    $time_posted = vbdate('n-j-y, g:i:s a', $timestamp); 

                    

                    // this fixes a problem to do with numbers showing wrongly in the confessions_bit

                    if ($rate < 1) {

                        $rate = "0";

                        $num_rates ="0";

                    }

                        eval('$confessions_bits .= "' . fetch_template("confessions_bit") . '";');

            } 

        }
