Wink The Return of The Rockers Cabin
The other day one of my class mate (WWFC07) suggested that I should bring back The Rockers Cabin and so I did, because I kindly donated IP.Board license to Anarchy Live. So therefore I had to convert my database from IP.Board to MyBB, I don't miss IP.Board because MyBB is better to work with especially with the plug-in system heck I even made a plugin quite easily, here a link to my first plug-in that I release for MyBB and I believe I demonstrated this plug-in over at Anarchy Live. Yes I have been gaining some skills with PHP & MySQL at Uni while this forum was offline, I just got an A14 for my coursework in Web Application Development.

I did get a few problem with converting from IP.Board to MyBB, maybe because of the different in encoding the IP.Board was encoded in "7-bit Swedish" which is perfect for English and Obviously Swedish because it's rarely uses accent lol, MyBB is encoded in "UTF8" which is the newer standard and getting common because it's perfect for almost every language on this planet.

The weird problems were
  • Opening Quote tag got renamed to "Array," but the closing tag remains perfecly.
  • HTML escape were showing in the content of the post thread and forums title while it shouldn't. If you see a HTML escape showing let me know and I will fix it.
  • The YouTube tag got renamed to a large chunk of HTML code.
  • Smilies were disabled on every post Big Grin < The example of smilie Tongue < Another example

I was able to fix most of the problems thanks to the skills I obtained while learning at University.

Also I would like to introduce a new feature to this forum and it's called AutoEmbed, what it's does is embed video from various different site about 150 for you. Here a tag to embed a video automatically. I must admit I got part of the idea from Tim Eckel from Arcade @ Home.

Code:
[vid]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBWcRMonvWA[/vid]

Output:

It's also works with just audio just use the same tag that you use for videos

Code:
[vid]http://www.last.fm/music/Black+Sabbath/_/Paranoid[/vid]

Output:

I hope you all enjoy the return, especially with the CSS3 magic I added to this theme. Wink

RE: The Return of The Rockers Cabin
I just integrated this forum with last.fm, added support for xbox live gamertags & psn id in profile and I also forgot to mention that you can actually define the resolutions within the vid tags

Code:
[vid 300x300][/vid]

300x300 is the minimum and 999x999 is the maximum. Go below the minimum the resolution will reset to default, go above the maximum the code just won't execute.
