forums.ps2dev.org

If these are things you know how to do, please let me know and I can provide access so you can make the changes.

The server is on a Digitalocean droplet running latest PHP and latest phpbb. The other things I haven't touched.

I found myself with a bit of time over the weekend and decided to see if I could find and put online these forums. After a bit of stuffing around and converting an old backup, I've got it online. If you remember your userid and password you will still be able to login. If anyone has an interest in a...

Moving server is starting. All posting has been disabled from now until the new server is up and running.

David. aka Oobles.

The ps2dev.org server is on the move starting tonight (next few hours) to a new IP address. I will be stopping all posts to the forums before making DNS changes. If everything goes smoothly (it never does), we will be back up and running a few hours after I start.

That's correct. It is to stop spammers registering and believe me it does work. The amount of spam we get is significantly lower when these measures are in place. Sorry for the inconvenience, however, it does save a lot of wasted time on removing spam.

Just to chime in with my 2c. This is really a disapointing decision from Sony and will encourage hacking that leads to piracy. It also removes an important development environment that allows new developers to learn how to write software for the Cell architecture. This leads to a larger pool or reso...

Yep. I'm ok. Thankfully not as close as Wally to the fires. I live at the edge of the Dandenong ranges. Close enough to get nervous on high risk fire days, but far enough away from the actual fires for it not to be a problem for me. Some of the first hand accounts of the fires where really scary. Th...

Yep, main site is down. Subversion and svn.ps2dev.org should continue to work. I haven't been able to get onto the server the last few days. I should get to fix it in the next 24 hours.

Does anyone have experience with PHPBB3? Is it stable enough? I'm happy to upgrade to it if people thinks it is worthwhile. Also, were not on PHPBB v1.0.. I'm slow with my upgrades, but not that slow. :) I'm having some troubles with the server right now. Will hopefully be fixed soon. David. aka Oob...

The web gui for looking through subversion is finally back!

David. aka Oobles.

I should note that I said I was ok with this as long as the rest of the mods and long time members were also ok with it. I'm happy for this topic to be put up and discussed. If it is accepted and everyone is happy with it, then I'm ok with it. I'd like to note that I have very little to do with the ...

Hi, Has anyone had experience with anything like open source Virtual Machine server solutions? I'm wondering, if I added a couple more gig of memory to the ps2dev.org server I could host a couple of VMs for Apache, etc. This could make it easier for people to participate in the up-keep of the server...

I've added the openid module. Can someone with openid try it out? It didn't seem to work for me, but I've never used openid before. I could have been doing something wrong.

I know this is the general discussion forum.. however this topic is so far off topic. There's plenty of other forums that actively encourage this type of discussion. Sorry.. locked.

If you haven't already noticed I've been looking at all the useful modules to use. Another one that is probably worth adding.

http://drupal.org/project/zen

Are there any CSS masters that would be interested in contributing a theme for drupal using zen?

Another possible module to add. What are peoples experiences with openid?

http://drupal.org/project/openid

Should we add it? Will we need to run an openid server as well? Any thoughts?

I haven't done this yet, but I'll be adding the drupal/phpbb forum integration module. Found it at:

Does anyone have any experience with the following javascript editors? I'm leaning towards tinymce or the wymeditor. http://drupal.org/project/widgeditor http://drupal.org/project/fckeditor http://drupal.org/project/htmlarea http://drupal.org/project/tinymce http://drupal.org/project/wymeditor It sh...

OK, so maybe making the font BTSE PS2 Font wasn't such a good idea. :) I've reverted back to the inbuilt font for now. Hopefully this won't take so many tries. Thanks for the feedback.

I've installed the CAPTCHA module which should hopefully reduce the number of crap accounts being created. Captcha is currently only enabled on the registration but can be enabled for other input pages. If you want to allow anonymous comments anywhere let me know so I can add captcha to the page.

The project, project issue tracking, project releases and project usage modules have been added to the site. Administrators have been given full control over the modules.

I've removed drupal 6.2 and added drupal 5.7. Anyone who registered will need to register again. Next job is to add the project and project tracker modules for drupal.

Looks like Drupal 6.2 doesn't support the useful modules we need. eg project and project tracker. Will need to downgrade to 4.7 or switch to another CMS. I'll look at it in the next couple of days. I will probably have to wipe out what I've put there.

I got a little bit of time tonight to split off the domains and install drupal. I picked it because it has won some CMS awards and looks like it has some a lot of support. It also has lots of modules, some of which should cater for creating sub projects, etc. Does anyone have any drupal experience? ...

Well.. after minimal discussion with a few people.. it looks like we're going to create a ps3dev.org for all the ps3 stuff. If you've got some ideas for the site.. reply in:

David. aka Oobles.

After some discussions with a few people its been decided that we're going to split the ps3 related discussions to a new web site (ps3dev.org). That means a chance to take a fresh approach to everything. If you've got an opinion of what you would like to see with the new site, this is the place to g...

I'm glad someone noticed that there wasn't an April fools joke. I did try and think of doing something, but it must be the old age. I was out of ideas. I'll see how I go next year. :)

I better squash that before it grows legs. The site never had anything to do with Napalm and wasn't branched off anything. Its always been about legal homebrew and its managed to keep that ideal strong from the start to now. It did start under a different domain name, but that's all. I started tryin...

Every year this time comes around I'm always amazed that the site is still here. And more amazed that the site keeps growing. I do little more than make sure the server keeps running and scan the forums for bad content. It shows what a great community that the site has become. The site receives arou...

I'll look at this when I get a chance. But it sounds like some people only use the web interface. The web interface has always been there as a tool to investigate the history of changes, etc.. nothing else. To download/update/commit you should be using a Subversion client which does not require the ...
