Free SMF Hosting Script for SMF 1.1.4

BMR777 · Aug 9, 2008

Hello All,

I found this on my hard drive and I thought it may be of use to someone here. This is the SMFXXL Multiforums Script for SMF 1.1.4. I used this before on SMF 1.1.4 with only minor issues, but it may work on SMF 1.1.5 and it may not. The script below is not my work, but the license allows for free distribution so I figure I'll put it here if anyone wants.

The developer's site has closed and has also taken the readme along with it. If I remember correctly though you just use SMF's Package Manage to import the .zip file and then follow the prompts.

I will NOT provide support for this script. If you have questions about how to use please help each other in THIS THREAD ONLY.

*edit*

the file isnt compitable whit 1.1.5 so you need to use 1.1.4 (you can download it here

for the rest the helpme is simple so far

Code:

just use it as a plugin and it will works

i will update it more and more when i get closer and closer of the complete live demo

i would like to say that i got it to works and it looks great

exept that there is 1 small problem that you guys need to know
it works whit sub dir and mod rewrite (you see where i aim goin ?? )

so here i goin explain the tutorial of how to create it and how to install it

how to install ??

just install smf 1.4 and then install the package as a plugin

step 2

cmod the installed files (cpanel) to 644 or whatever your host need ( they stand on 666)

how to create a forum ??

well , just go to http://www.yourdomain.com/smf/newforum.php and follow the steps it says

how to acces the admin arena ??

well , just go to http://www.yourdomain.com/smf/admin and use admin as the secret name ^^ (all admin)

how does a forum looks when you create 1 ??

well , it will look like this http://test.powerchaos.info/smf/smfxxl/test or like this working link (its the same ) http://powerchaos.info/smf/smfxxl/test/

how will the email look ??

the email will look like ... the admin email

Code:

Dear Admin ,

A new forum is ready to use on next url: http://test.powerchaos.info/smf/smfxxl/test 
Admin name : test 
Password   : ********** 
Forum Email: test@powerchaos.info 
Question: Send me your newsletters: No 
Question: Send me BannerFree info: No

and the user email

Code:

Dear test ,

Your forum is ready to use on next url: http://test.powerchaos.info/smf/smfxxl/test 
Admin name : test 
Password   : test 
Forum Email: test@powerchaos.info 
Send me your newsletters: No 
Send me BannerFree info: No 

Kind regards,

The Admin Team

got some more Questions then feel free to ask them , as soon i get my sub dir version working then you can try it out

now the funny part is that you can even use http://powerchaos.info/smf/smfxxl/test/ instead of test.powerchaos.info/.....

now the thing i like to add if some1 can help me whit it
its just a other template that i need or a small edit so it doesnt show the thing as a sub domain but as a normal dir
my script works but not 100% like it need to be ( its not my script but you get what i mean ^^ )
if you try it out then you see what i mean (its posted here to )

Hi crasher,

I'm trying to get the SMFXXL - Script running on my Webspace getting some Problems...

I'd be quite thankful if you can help with some errors.

1st: When trying to open http://mydomain.tld/smf/admin i get the following: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/www/web84/html/smf/admin/index.php on line 8

But on line 8 theres only a <html> tag.

Maybe i should say, that i installed the SMFXXL as a package and then upgraded to 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 without any problems. The errors occured also in 1.1.4

You can also write me in ICQ: 171387253 or Mail: c.kirchner@gmx.de

As you see, I was able to solve the 2nd Problem described in the PM...

Thanks in advance
Kirschnik

But as you can see it doesn't work without problems and it's an outdated version...

Just forgot to post the code of index.php :

After activation of the mod, as i tried to log in into the adminpanel of the mod under: http://mydomain.tld/smf/admin

If i close the php-tag before <html> i get the following:

Code:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'web84'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/www/web84/html/smf/config.php on line 38

Since it is outdated, why don't you try finding one that isn't? I'm sure you can get a relatively cheap one even if you can't find a free one..

Kirschnik · Sep 11, 2008

I don't think that 70$ is quite cheap, thats why i try to get this to work..

powerchaos · Sep 11, 2008

the problem is that you offer FREE hosting and thats why you are looking for a FREE script , i got 6 differend scripts but the best script is still the 1 from brm777

all the other are cracked (yes ^^ ) or are just oversolded (i got it free , dont worry ) scripts (70$ for a freehosting script ... its like that you pay for a hosting whit ads ... )

to be honnest , i dont like the script (in the beginning i do , but now not anymore :S )

just try to mess around a little inside the script or by even deleting some stuff
otherwhise just reupload the files that are giving trouble and whit good luck it works ^^

If i get it fixed and running under 1.1.6 I'll tell you

Kirschnik · Sep 13, 2008

By filling in the database settings (not using variables) i could establish the connection...

Now, can you remember the login to the admin panel? (Login Id, Password and Security)...

powerchaos · Sep 13, 2008

pfew , the login detais :S

wasnt it admin/admin/admin ??

just look around in the file or the database :S

i think i founded that password into the database , but not sure of it ( then it is in the config.php file in the smfxx dir :S )

powerchaos said:

Yes, it was

Got it working without any errors

If anyone is interested in developing the script together with me, write me a pm or mail or ICQ...

I'll start to improve it and keep you in the loop ...

EDIT: @Crasher: Maybe this Script could improve your hosting

powerchaos · Sep 14, 2008

i dont think it does , i tryed it out and i dint like it ...

its to buggy for the stuff it need to do , and it works to bad for the stuff it need to work :S

it gives a sub domain ( good part) like this username.domainname.com/smf/smfxxl/username (the bad part :S)

so , thats why i dont like it , a long sub domain name that is even longer then the normal domain name :S

Greets From The Crasher

Kirschnik · Sep 14, 2008

Thats why I'll try to improve and develop it...

coffeenole · Sep 15, 2008

Kirschnik, I also got the script to work a few days ago; although it's OK, it's not everything that I'd like for it to be. While I was able to add a couple of things on the headers.php files, I'd like the features available to the users who sign up for forums.

I'd like to help, but I'm not a coder/developer...I'd certainly help out with some "coffee beans" for the bean counter, though. Best of luck with this...I even purchased the SMF Multi-Forum script which is a piece of garbage that didn't work...with no support. I've gotten FAR more support and help here than I got from SMFMF.

Maybe I'll make a SMF Multiforums for SMF 2.0.0 if there is enough interest. I'll have to probably get approval from them though because of their restrictive license agreement.

I'm trying to decide between making another script for either SMF 2, PHPBB 3 or Novaboard. I have to look at the code and licenses for each though.

BMR777

powerchaos · Sep 15, 2008

hmm , not a bad idea , then maybe i can try it out then some day

but for now , i aim standing on non active for this forum , becouse to buzzy whit other stuff (mmorp game :S )

but i would be happy if you can bring out the release of the populair smf script ^^ that works on the same way as mybb
