The past few weeks years I've been working on a highly experimental fork of Acmlmboard 0.7 on-and-off.

My main goal is to clean up and optimize the code as well as documenting everything to ultimately create a lightweight base for others to fork and customize, while also being powerful. I eventually want to add a custom installer for users to choose either the "full" set of features, or a minimal set of pages for the Slimmed Down Posting Experience™.

As of right now though the code is a mess, and the pages are still buggy and/or incomplete.

Version specific info in in the README file for some releases.

----------------------------------------
Roadmap
----------------------------------------
*Revise code for neatness, security, and functionality.
*Finish permissions system
*Figure out a simple search feature
*Add pages in certain places
*Add pronouns, revise namecolor system
*Add buttons to jump to the last post in a thread
*Optimize queries
*Remove all notices and warnings
*Make most input boxes "HTML Proof." We don't want threads that are titled with autoplaying HTML5 video
----------------------------------------
Additional Notes
----------------------------------------
*Powerlevels have been almost completely removed, but the permission-based system hasn't been finished yet. It's getting close though. It's based on Acmlmboard II's permission system, but does have its differences. Inheritance is linear (referred to as the "group ladder") and groups can also be separate from the inheritance ladder.
*Temporary and permanent bans, along with a pardoning system
*Includes WIP news system, with comment support
*Includes PM support


Known Bugs:
*Number of threads in profile is calculated wrong (not sure if this is still a thing or not)
*Some PHP warnings/notices
*Probably many more little things

I'd be interested in testing this, or at least giving you some kind of testing ground. My server runs MariaDB 10 (based on MySQL 5.8 iirc) and PHP 7.0 on Apache 2.4.25 if you want to use it for anything. I've just got to figure how to make permissions works on PHP with homedirs while allowing write access by the user

---

If you want to, go right ahead! I haven't been able to test this at all on PHP 7 (I've been using 5.6) but theoretically it should work. Let me know if it does (or does not) and feel free to report any bugs here

Nightly 07-25-2018 has been released.

*Misc things fixed to point to new working pages
*Until permissions are finished, a field titled "debug" controls staff functions
+Edit Thread is now working.
+Edit User is now working.

you should put a warning on the register page in the meantime. people are known to reuse passwords easily, it's actually pretty irresponsible not to consider that.

---

This. Kinda dumb just to put the warning message on the login page.

Inputing a password in register.php doesn't directly pose any security risks, as it doesn't automatically log you in and it stores your password in the database using MD5. But yeah, I get what you're saying, and the new authentication system will either be salted or use the native password_ functions.

I've added the warning marquees everywhere, as well as added a disclaimer at the top of every page.

Edit: (I can't double post)

I wiped the user accounts on my test board, because the new login system is incompatible with it

So many things, but all pages are at least mostly functional now.

Amazingly, I still haven't given up on this project, but progress has definitely slowed down.

I've added a PM system, a banning system allowed for both temporary and permanent bans, a news system (doesn't allow for making news posts yet,) a work-in-progress permissions system that takes inspiration from Acmlmboard 2's permission system (but aims to be a bit simpler and lighter,) and a variety of other smaller things.

I'm in the process of massive changes to the permissions system again. It's definitely one of the biggest hurdles holding me from declaring this project in a beta state. The big two things left for it are an equivalent to Acmlmboard 2's "bindvalue" for permissions (to replace my limited Forum Groups system) and actually implementing the permissions system on pages (partially complete; partly needs to be revised due to new permissions direction, but should be simple to implement using custom functions.)

The code quality is still not the best (there are a few warnings and its still messy) but so far it seems to run on PHP 8(!) without completely falling apart (for the most part.) I do plan on cleaning everything up and adding comments, but that'll come at a later date when the board is developed enough to be in a "generally working state."

Once I get the permissions system fleshed out enough and implement it, I'll be making my first Beta™ release, so check back in another 2-3 years (maybe only 1 if I get enough motivation.)


Edit: As a little side note, I have a few unreleased versions with erratic versioning schemes, but I never got around to cleaning up the SQL dumps or simply packaging them for release at all, but it's something I will get around to eventually.

It's not out of the question (and it would be neat to add,) but it'll be a bit before I add any extra bonus functionality; my main priority right now is the permissions system and administrative functions

Edit since I can't double post:

As a half-joke, have-serious, all wanting-to-respect-other's-properties, I created a "nonlicense" for this software which will be used for all upcoming releases (since it's not legally possible to relicense or license someone else's code without permission.)

Again, it's not meant to be a ""serious license,"" but I did have fun trying to make it "legal sounding," while also being serious. Also, you're probably wondering why Acmlmboard 1.A2 is included on the list... Well, thats the result of me copying the same folder of assets around between different Acmlmboard versions during my own personal testing of various versions. I may go back and edit the old releases to remove the assets, and they will be removed in the future. The future cost of past laziness
