Localization, Tools and PHP 5.3

Date October 23, 2008

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. […]

PHP 6 Unicode Breaks Datpack

Date October 12, 2008

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 […]

Datapack Stream Wrapper Commited!

Date October 9, 2008

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 […]

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. […]

Back to the Datapack

Date October 4, 2008

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 […]

Datapack System Nearing Completion

Date May 16, 2008

The datapack system is (finally) almost complete. I had wanted it to be complete last week so I can get back to work on the backend (working on the same thing over and over is quite tedious and discouraging), however I found myself short on time. This has been a great lesson in planning - […]
