Hello! I recently tried the open source forum software phpBB the CVS version, 2.1/2.2. To my surprise, I've found that it's lacking PostgreSQL support, or, rather, that its support is not functional. After playing around for a bit, I managed to get a semi-functional 2version working, I went and had a talk with the phpBB people. Amazingly enough, they refused to accept any of my changes in their codebase, saying it's still too early for that and the developers will fix it when they think the time is right. The reason I'm mailing you is that I've managed to get a relatively functional version of it and wondered if anyone is interested in helping me further maintain/fix it, until the phpBB developers consider it's time to support other SQL backends. For those interested, I've put up my version up on CVS on=20 :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/phpbb, the module being phpbb2-pgsql, press enter for the password. (For reasons beyond my comprehension at this late/early hour, cvsd seems to freeze once in a while, when one tries to login, so don't do that :-P. Seriously, though, even if it does break, there's http://cvs.wolfheart.ro/cgi-bin/cvsweb/phpbb2-pgsql/ from where you can download a tarball until I wake up and actually get cvs working properly) So, if anyone is interested, drop me a line. If you want to keep this thread on pgsql-general, please Cc: me as I am not subscribed. -- Birzan George Violence is the last refuge of Cristian the incompetent -- Salvor Hardin
