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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

I’ve decided to put the Datapack system on hold for the time being, even though it’s nearly complete. Because I’ve redesigned the database backend even further, it serves no immediate purpose. Right now it’s simply slowing the project down. Therefore, I’m getting back to work on the reconstruction.
I have been trying to think of the […]

Well, since PHP6 is still under development, a few things took longer than expected. But, below is a link to the script in SVN for what I did research a bit. I’ll have more updates and PHP6 development continues and features are refined.

As I was working on the datapack wrapper, typing “strlen()”, I thought of PHP6’s unicode support. I decided that before I went further, I’d download it and test it out to see if the support was exactly what I thought it’d be and how I may need to modify my code in order to ensure […]

I have been trying to determine for some time now whether or not to provide unicode support in MCBB for PHP versions less than 6 (which will support it natively). I’ve determined that, because MyCustomBB will, more likely than not, be released after PHP 6, it will not be worth investing the time to build […]
