Hosting a YabbSE

-Matt- · August 17, 2003, 04:19:27 AM

I am very very new to Yabb. I havent even downloaded it or tryed to install it yet. Before I make the huge switch of forums I want to ask how to setup a free forums website like: hxxp:www.boardnation.com/index.php [nonactive]

That would be the main reason to switch to Yabb! Thanks

A lot of work went into that website. The tables and such were changed a lot so that it would work out.

I'm sure you can understand that the authors of that site are not going to give you their "secrets", because that's bad business sense.

Further, because one of the owners of that site could very well be considered my boss, I'm not going to either - out of respect for him.

Hosting YaBB SE doesn't take a lot. SMF takes even less.

I know. It is just that I have seen many Yabb sites like that. (Proboards) and such. I have managed to do this with invision board.

Would there be any instructions or anything like that?

Wait a minute! You cant even download SMF!

Spaceman-Spiff · August 17, 2003, 04:57:13 AM

SMF version 1.0 isnt released yet, it's still under development. If you want, for now you can use YaBB SE 1.5.4
do you have your own website with PHP and MySQL?

andrea · August 17, 2003, 05:06:50 AM

Here you can download YaBB SE 1.5.4 which is the current version of YaBB SE:

www.yabbse.org/download.php

SMF will be the succedor of YaBB SE.

Why don't you ask the owners of Boardnation? They may be willing to help.

YaBB SE isn't that difficult to work or install... why don't you give it a try?

You can give the board this look and feel by modifying the file "template.php". There are various template tools available which help you customize the layout of the board. For the tools available for the current stable version visit this link (sticky threads):

Not quite so. Many of the changes involve the new template system and cannot be done with YaBB SE.

I know this. But most of it can be done. I mean the colors, the buttons etc. The look and feel can already be done...

Barn $:-\$ I just want something that will:

1.) Give the visitor a sign up forum
2.) Creat the forum based on the info submited
3.) Email the user the pass to admin for validation.

Not complicated at all!

Benn · August 18, 2003, 08:19:03 PM

The YaBB SE installation is ultra easy already, you could just modify the install.php and hard code in some of the variables like database info etc. Then they'd basically just need to choose a name and password.

If you have a host with cPanel, install is just a few mouse clicks.

Depending on how you do it, it can be quick and easy. We, at Boardnation, have taken a lot of time and spent a lot of effort in optimizing the scripts as well as writing our setup and backend management software. Feel free to contact be off this forum, [email protected], if you want.

I don't know what I was thinking, YaBB SE is not an option PHP-Nuke is, sorry about that!

Autoinstaller? I might wait for a stable SMF release and see if I can change that

Mecha Dude · August 24, 2003, 09:36:02 AM

Yes it's an autoinstaller. However I have yet to get a response from anyone from cPanel on how I can make my own.

The one for PHP-Nuke just asks for is a directory to install into it.
Took 5 seconds, then all I had to do was create a superuser.

[Unknown] · August 24, 2003, 07:01:39 PM

I can make an autoinstaller very easily for SMF or YaBB SE. Just point me to who to give it to if it can be put into CPanel.

charlottezweb · August 25, 2003, 07:51:15 PM

Cpanel isn't responsible for the autoinstaller. That's a third party add-on that hosts purchase to add to their cpanel servers. That's why I was saying I'll try to get that added to it once a stable release is out.
