Well, despite the lack of updates and visible code modifications in SVN (aside from the last commit which included a great deal of late changes), a lot as been going on. One of these days I’ll get to uploading my notes as I write them so you guys can see what’s going on. I now […]

A lot’s been going on since the last entry (after a short break). The first I’d like to mention is the progress regarding localization.
I’ve begun work creating language packs and integrating them. However, while doing so, I had to implement unlink() functionality within the datapack (language packs use the datapack wrapper). This broke some code. […]

Well, it seems that PHP 6’s unicode support breaks the datapack. So I’ll have to spend some time getting it to work properly (mostly a tedious task of using binary strings rather than the default unicode). This does mean, however, that in order for the project to be backwards-compatible, PHP 5.2.1 is required (that is […]

To save myself the trouble later, I’ve decided to begin researching more into unicode in PHP, ensuring it is fully PHP 5 and PHP 6 compatible (at this point, unicode will still be limited to PHP 6, unless I figure out a speedy alternative).
The problem with unicode in PHP 5 is that…it’s a bit of […]

After trying to think of a more creative name, I decided that it’s really not necessary. “WebKernel” sounds professional enough, is to the point, memorable (at least for developers), and still has the “open source” feel many applications have - simple, not necessarily creative. Though I do think the name is creative. Thanks, Landon […]

FINALLY! It feels so good to finally commit the wrapper to SVN. It was pretty annoying to get working - it is perhaps the most complicated script I have had to work on. It took a lot of planning and rewrites - it was a learn-as-you-go thing for me. Thankfully, this rewrite is fairly good […]

Well, a few days after coming up with the name and modifying the code to reflect it (WebCORE), I find that Apple has already taken it - a component of WebKit. To avoid future conflicts, I’ve decided to change it.
I’m not going to worry about it until after the Datapack’s completion - I’m still coming […]

The datapack stream wrapper is moving along much more quickly than I had thought. It’s an incredible relief to see this finally pulling together. I have the majority of the bugs sorted out and it is currently in working order. I’m making some final changes before I commit it to the repository and move on. […]

Alright, now for a status update on WebCORE. All WebCORE posts will remain in the MyCustomBB blog for convenience until the project gets further on and is separated into its own site.
With the error systems complete and logging ready, I want to get into localization. Before I do that, I want to take the time […]

So, I’ve decided to split off the MCBB core into its own project, which will be developed alongside MyCustomBB. The core, which is now named WebCORE (or Web C.O.R.E. - acronym pending), will be distributed for everyone to use as a strong foundation to their own website. MyCustomBB, therefore, will be a a module pack, […]
