Quick question on simple message board/forum

Do I need to use the server to create a forum? I'm not ready to publish yet, but want to get one started, where do I begin? Tutorial link would be great...
thanks

Do I need to use the server to create a forum?
To host your own, you'll need to install software on your remote server.
If your server supports PHP, you might find what you need below in the Support Section.
http://www.phpbb.com/
If you don't want to host your own, there are Forum and Message Board Hosting Services you can use.

  • How do I create a simple message board (forum)

    I am a BC new-bee. How do I create a simple message board (forum) in BC to use on a Muse site since no widget is available there.

    No worries,
    The simple way should be that:
    open your forum page in Muse
    under "object" > "insert HTML" > paste "{module_forum,a,}"
    click ok
    move the textbox to the right position
    now publish this page to your bc site
    if you have any forums set up in the admin of your site (http://yourdomain.com/admin) it should show you the title of the forum.
    if there are no forums set up, you will need to create a forum in bc (Modules > Forums)
    Try this and let me know how it turned out.

  • Message board Forum question

    Does anyone know if there is a way in iweb to create a message board/forum enviroment?
    Imac 800   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    There's no way to do this, other than to link from iWeb pages to some other site where you can. .Mac does not have the capability either, except the limited messaging in .Mac Groups.

  • Message Board / Forum Software

    Can anyone recommend a ColdFusion-based message board / forum package?  It can be either open source or commercial.  So far I'm aware of Galleon and Fusetalk.  Everything else I've come across seems years old and no longer updated.  I'd like to explore all my options before recommending something to my client.

  • Message Board/forum

    I would like to add a message board/forum such as the one we are using to my site. Is there a stock portlet the oracle has built and is available to add? Does anyone have one?

  • How do I create a message board/forum using forms in Dreamweaver?

    I want to create a forum or messageboard using the form in Dreamweaver but I don't know how to do it. Is there any guidance on how I could create a message board or forum on Dreamweaver?

    I don't think it can be done with just dreamweaver,
    You will have to download something like PHPBB,
    If you have a host with fantastico deluxe you can easily set up a forum
    with it.

  • Quick Question About Simple Menu

    Can someone direct me to a link that has a tutorial for a SIMPLE vertical navigation menu with a submenu. Like a drop down menu but vertical where the main links are on the left and the submenues come out the right side of the menu. I dont need any bells and wistles and I am just learning so it doesnt need anything but a button link when rolled over more link options appear to the right. Is there a tutorial that is not a place trying to sell me this capability and actually works (CS3), no errors, broken links etc...just a how to for a SIMPLE menu with submenus.
    Sorry, I am getting frustrated...thanks

    Okay, just so that it might help someone else who is struggling to find a way to do this, I found a pretty good tutorial on how to make good drop down menus that can easily be made into a vertical pop-out menu as well. I was a bit surprised that there was so little valuable information regarding something that I would think is a pretty common thing, SIMPLE rollovers with submenus. Not only did I have a very difficult time JUST finding a tutorial on basic drop down menus (without all kinds of bells and whistles or people wanting to sell me a package), but there was nobody who could actually point me to the one truly helpful tutorial about the subject out there. So for those who might search I am going to put this link here to the only real thorough tutorial I could find about a simple drop down menu that can work both vertical and horizontal.
    It takes awhile because he is also explaining many things most people with basic knowledge about the program probably already knows but its clear and (SHOCK!) actually works well.

  • Quick question - AWM - simple cube problem

    im using AWM 10.2.0.3
    my fact table:
    1 program1 100eur
    2 program1 200eur
    3 program2 130eur
    i have only one dimension (program).
    Aggregation operator is Sum.
    when i generate the cube the sum in AWM Data Viewer is only 230eur (the second program - 200eur is not included)? why? is that a feature or bug?
    im using [http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Getting+Started+With+Oracle+OLAP+Option|http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Getting+Started+With+Oracle+OLAP+Option] tutorial, but didnt found anything there...
    thanks for any help.
    regards. Kristjan

    Kristjan,
    The fact you mentioned has program1 repeating. In AWM you should not have repeated dimension key combination otherwise the last loaded record will only loaded. So my suggestion is that you should do a sum(measure values) and group by (all dimensions - in current case it is just 1) before loading into cube.
    So you can create a view like below
    create fact_vw as select program,sum(eur) from <fact table> group by program
    Now use this fact to load the cube.
    Why do you see 230?
    =============
    200 eur is loaded against program1 and when 100eur comes again for program1, earlier loaded value is replaced by 100 and then for program 130. Total is 230 eur.
    Thanks,
    Brijesh

  • What is the best way to create a message board in Dream Weaver CS3?

    I need to create a simple message board in Dream Weaver CS3. Any ideas or tutorials that you know of?

    Even a simple BB would require really advanced coding skills with server-side scripts,  databases, JavaScript,  not to mention a good deal of experience with web server security.
    Ask your hosting provider if they support 3rd party products like VBulletin or  phpBB.

  • Special Message Board creation

    Hello,
    I'm an artist and am working on my own flash based site. I
    had a basic notion of AS, Flash, and already studied programming in
    general.
    I wanted to build a Message Board where i could have people
    discuss over a IMAGE from my portfolio. I found some free codes
    over the web, for simple message boards, but no support for putting
    IMAGES with my messages...
    Any ideas of where i could star asking/looking ??
    Thanks
    Erik.

    Ok, i just tried it out without tweaking the layout. Had to
    see if it WORKED first.
    Basically, what we have is - three files called:
    - mensagens.asp
    - mensagens.xml
    - Message Board.swf
    The XML file is empty, waiting to receive the messages and
    store them on the server.
    The ASP file contains this, as the main BODY of the code:
    =====
    <body>
    <%
    Dim Objeto, Obj, Texto, arquivo
    arquivo = Server.MapPath ( "mensagens.xml" )
    Set Objeto = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
    Set Obj = Objeto.GetFile( arquivo )
    Set Texto = Objeto.OpenTextFile( arquivo , 8 , true )
    Texto.WriteLine( "" )
    Texto.Write( "<Neto " )
    Texto.Write( "data='" & request.form( "data" ) & "'
    Texto.Write( "nome='" & request.form( "nome" ) & "'
    Texto.Write( "texto='" & request.form( "texto" ) &
    "' />" )
    Texto.close
    response.Write( "enviado=ok" )
    %>
    </body>
    =======
    And the FLA (swf) file has this code attached as the main
    code:
    =========
    String.prototype.LF2BR = function() {
    for (var i = 0, ret = ""; i<this.length; i++) {
    ret += this.charCodeAt(i) == 13 ? "[br]" : this.charAt(i);
    return (ret);
    MovieClip.prototype.resizeTo = function(width, height,
    onFinish, onChange) {
    clearInterval(this.timer);
    this.timer = setInterval(function (obj) { var velx =
    (width-obj._width)/3;var vely = (height-obj._height)/3;obj._width
    += velx;obj._height += vely;if (typeof onChange == "function")
    {onChange.apply(obj);}if ((Math.abs(velx)<=0.38) &&
    (Math.abs(vely)<=0.38)) {obj._width = width;obj._height =
    height;clearInterval(obj.timer);if (typeof onChange == "function")
    {onFinish.apply(obj);}}}, 22, this);
    _global.mudaBase = function() {
    mask1._y = tela._y;
    mask1._height = tela._height;
    base._y = this._y+this._height+2;
    mask2._y = base._y;
    msgs._height = tela._height;
    if ((base._height=(340-this._height)+18) == 98) {
    nome.selectable = true;
    mensagem.selectable = true;
    Selection.setFocus(nome);
    aviso.text = "Digite sua Mensagem";
    } else {
    aviso.text = "Sua Mensagem";
    mask2._height = base._height;
    var obj = {};
    obj.onKeyDown = function() {
    if ((nome.text.length != 0) && (texto.text.length !=
    0)) {
    aviso.text = "Enviar sua Mensagem";
    botao.enabled = true;
    } else {
    aviso.text = "Digite sua Mensagem";
    botao.enabled = false;
    _global.arquivo = new XML();
    arquivo.onLoad = function(s) {
    if (s) {
    var msg = this.childNodes;
    msgs.html = true;
    msgs.htmlText = "";
    for (var i = msg.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
    msgs.htmlText += "<b>"+msg
    .attributes.data+" -
    "+msg.attributes.nome.split("&squot;").join("'")+"
    -:</b><br/>"+msg
    .attributes.texto.split("[br]").join("<br/>").split("&squot;").join("'")+"<br/><p
    align='Center'>--------------------------------------</p>";
    System.useCodePage = true;
    Stage.showMenu = false;
    Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
    arquivo.ignoreWhite = true;
    arquivo.load("mensagens.xml?historico="+random(999999)+getTimer());
    tela.resizeTo(162, 260, mudaBase, mudaBase);
    Key.addListener(obj);
    botao.enabled = false;
    base.onMouseMove = function() {
    if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
    if (tela._height>260) {
    tela.resizeTo(162, 260, mudaBase, mudaBase);
    tela.onMouseMove = function() {
    if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
    if ((nome.length == 0) && (texto.length == 0)) {
    if (this._height<345) {
    nome.selectable = false;
    mensagem.selectable = false;
    this.resizeTo(162, 345, mudaBase, mudaBase);
    ========
    And this code, for the "message writing" area:
    ========
    on (release) {
    var hoje = new Date();
    var msg = new LoadVars();
    var obj = new LoadVars();
    var dd = hoje.getDate();
    var mm = hoje.getMonth()+1;
    obj.onLoad = function() {
    arquivo.load("mensagens.xml?historico="+random(999999)+getTimer());
    msg.nome = _parent.nome.text.split("'").join("&squot;");
    msg.texto =
    _parent.texto.text.split("'").join("&squot;").LF2BR().substr(0,
    170);
    msg.data = [(dd<10 ? "0" : "")+dd, (mm<10 ? "0" :
    "")+mm].join("/");
    _parent.nome.text = "";
    _parent.texto.text = "";
    _parent.tela.resizeTo(162, 345, mudaBase, mudaBase);
    msg.sendAndLoad("mensagens.asp", obj, "POST");
    ============
    So, as we can see, there is an attempt to save the context
    which was written to the file "mensagens.xml".
    I put it online on my server, "as is", but it didn't work...
    File permission, maybe? I tried read/write for ALL on the xml
    file...
    You can download the FLA and code on the link i sent on my
    previous messages.
    Thanks!
    Erik.

  • Implementing a message board

    Hi, I am trying to create a message board/forum on my static

  • Simple Quick Question

    wrong section, post was moved.

    you titled "simple quick question"...
    .. complicated to answer..
    a) the TermsOfUse of the iTS don't allow any processing of purchased files, these are "copy protected"..
    b) iM has a voice-over function..
    c) iM is a video-edit app.. easy to use... just learn to handle it...
    d) iM allows to "extract" audio (=muting the original audio, adding your own..)
    e) to learn iM, spend some time here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html
    f) use pencil and paper first! WRITE and scribble, what shall happen when in your movie/parody... make a script, draw a storyboard .. THEN launch iM.. in other words: think first, then edit.. iM is just a tool, it does not "create"... Picasso needed a papertowel and half a stencil to create art....
    g) to get comfortable with iM, start with your own, small, short (3min!) project... import some stills, edit them, add a funny voice-over, add sounds, add music... good? make a bigger one...
    h) .. in our Lecture II, we teach you how to import shows from TV, youtube, wherever..

  • Ok, tried message boards everywhere to try and figure this out before having to post a question. Have a 21.5" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  After updates no wireless capability for ipad or laptop, imac connects fine but nothing else.No widgets work.

    Ok, tried message boards everywhere to try and figure this out before having to post a question. Have a 21.5" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  After updates no wireless capability for ipad or laptop, imac connects fine but nothing else. No dashboard widgets work, Skype won't work. What goes?

    Your post is pretty lengthy and I have to admit I didn't read it all. Please try restarting in Safe Mode, if that doesn't work please do both a SMC and PRAM reset. These may take 2-3 attempts.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Comments on Message Board Quick View

    Hi,
    I am using message board Quick view(walleViewer), to display messages in a custom portal application.
    To send a message to user i am calling java api...
    UserWall wall =
    WallServiceFactory.getWallService().getUserWall(taskFlowUserGuid);
    wall.addMessage(message);
    Issue I am facing here is that when a user posts comment on the wall, the comment is displayed only on users wall and not on wall of user to whom this comment is made.
    Is there something i am missing here?
    I would Highly appreciate any help.

    I'm afraid there is no API documentation available - see http://www.art2dec.com/documentation/docs/fmw11g1115documentation/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_people_dcandjava.htm#BABDGGGI or the referenced material http://www.art2dec.com/documentation/docs/fmw11g1115documentation/apirefs.1111/e15995/toc.htm
    You may use the common sense: if you observe that posts a message to the message author, it is most likely caused by UserWall wall = WallServiceFactory.getWallService().getUserWall(taskFlowUserGuid); Namely, the parameter taskFlowUserGuid. You don't display how this parameter is obtained, but from your observation you will need to get taskFlowUserGuid of the person whom a message is intended to.
