This is the main board index, as you can see I now implimented forum categories, I had a bit of trouble with those since I could not come up with the right sql query to get it all in the right order and groups etc... but I fixed that by loading all forums in memory, then sorting them out through php directly instead of a sql query. Rather effecient anyway as it's only 2 queries, and could possibly be limited to 1 at some point in time. Only thing I'm not too fond of is having an if statement in a large loop that could potentially have thousands of entries (hey, you never know, some people might want to have that many categories... especially with unlimited sub forum levels, the posibilities are endless... but god forbid having so many forums though
)
But anyway, won't get on the code side too much. The way it is now is good and as things progress I'll come up with a better way. I think the forum structure alone is a really big advancement compared to many other forum software, since already, in version 0.2 (ingore the 0.1 in the title, I only noticed that after) it is pretty good to already support unlimited sub forums.
Anyway, on with the screen shot, oh and you'll notice that there's no admin CP, instead, all the admin functions are directly in the option pull down menu. Figured I'd take a different aproach then every single forum software, and my take is that it will be more convinient, as long as I keep it organized. Maybe slightly less secure, since if the admin logs in on a public computer and leaves, but I think that's more of a user issue - it's up to them not to stay logged in.
