TB Alpha - compiled by pdq - Preview

[pdq]

hellos :bye:,
i was checking this place out (bvlist) originally cause i'm working on my own modded source...
(who isn't right?) lol. hopefully not tooo much longer...
...month or two tops :)
though i said that 2 months ago too :P

source is TB alpha based (latest)
uses n00b friendly installer and admincp.php
with many popular and some custom mods pre-installed
ability to enable/disable most mods and requested features via admin panel
some optimization here n there


screen profile page

i haven't done nor plan to do much design/style wise :P
my main goals, besides having fun & learning are:

• to have a medium sized pre-modded secure source
• not too much, not too little.
• run with 0 notices/errors using error_reporting(E_ALL);.
• have it be intuitive to the n00b user and addict at the same time
• have it fully working or as close as i possible :)
• not to stray too far away from default tbdev code.

I'm no php guru by far lol, but i have little interest in operating a site
and would like to share what i've learned/compiled with those that would find it useful.


when im farther along and comfortable with it,
i'll post some more screens or more details or sumthin if there is interest.

mind you, i am still aways off, as there is still stuff i want to add/change/fix.
and like all other modded tb/tbdev sources, i am just a compiler,
all credit goes to the original creators of the source as well as the mod creators and to tbdev,
to which many of the mods originate.

i figure i'll post now as Preview, so i can have some input/feedback maybe?
and perhaps it will motivate me further =]

anyways, thanks for warm welcome and catch yas laters.

that sounds interesting and Im really a big fan of your mods to teh current tbdev.
You must be on fire when the new version comes out

havent actually looked much about this TB alpha but just installed it looks far better that the "older" one.
I just wonder how their going todo the release when the time comes as not many of the mods work strait out with this..

What comes to Pre-modded sources, I will probaly not be using any of them as my forecomming source as I like know whats in it and want to learn coding but that doesn't mean that i would'nt want get some ideas and maybe even rip some cool stuff out LOL

Good luck for your project, im sure that it will come handy for alot of people :secret:

right. good points. :) I myself would also not use someone elses pre-modded
source unless it was official maybe or, well, unless it was awesome
(not that mine will be lol) :P

for a n00b to start, with no experience. tbdev is definetly the best to learn on and create a tracker unique to yourself, i don't wanna take the fun or learning aspect away from people but fact is some peeps do use modded sources, whether it is just to get a tracker up and running without even being able to spell php, rather cause they know how long it takes to add all these mods and it can be daunting or they simply rip out some things they like. :)

Whatever their motives it won't be long till they will still be having to learn at least the basics of php/html/css
or be scrounging around for a coder... :P
as we all know installing tracker/adding mods does not a tracker operator make. From modded source to gazelle to vanilla tbdev to whatever, still requires lots of attention and know how or wanting to learn.

Torrentstrike is good example imo of a modded source that succeeded.
Not that i used torrentstrike much lol but.

also since i have no ambition to operate a site and spend my time happily
editing the source, there has to be a reason why I'm doing it hehe.

I'm all about sharing and learning, if my n00b coding can help someone else out along the way... well i think that's great :)

We are all just dust in the wind here. Here one minute gone the next. =]


i cant' think of any mods that wouldn't work on TB, some may need a little tweaking and it can be confusing at first since code has now been relocated
into more files

example:
global.php and some code within bittorrent.php
have now been split into their revelant files, such as:
bbcode_functions.php
bittorrent.php
config.php
html_functions.php
pager_functions.php
searchcloud_functions.php
torrenttable_functions.php
user_functions.php

makes a lot more sense this way as we only include code needed for the current page rather than including all the code on all pages.

thanks for comments

War(n)m welcome pdq :P.
I'll test your source. I'm a security freak myself so... that's the first thing I'm gonna check.
Cheers.

I agree not well designed.
But well coded , secure and nice.
I may use it on my tracker with editing and adding some styles.

But can you put it over a rar file ?.
