Scratch

Zeusking19 · 2012-04-24 12:59:39

Seeing as the project is dead, I am restarting it.

(New description of the project is in the making. The current one is below)

We at AT have certainly undertaken many interesting projects together, many of them changing the very Scratch experience. This is the development thread for the new ScratchBB project.

A lot of the time the Scratch team seem to have problems with the Scratch Fora, the well known "Scratch time" where time zones just aren't taken into account is an example, and the lack of many necessary back-end controls lead to unfortunately necessary decisions such as blocking [url]tags from the fora. Why are these problems not resolved? Firstly because the Scratch team are being paid to work on the site in many cases and have many duties, meaning that site development needs to be balanced with their other duties - less time for development. Secondly, the fora aren't coded by the Scratch team, but are rather a customisable forum "plugin" from a third-party provider.

This is a collaborative, free and open-source project by the AT members, designing a new forum system for the Scratch site.

Here's a sort of list of things we're thinking of doing, maintained by Magine

Unfortunately, yes. However, It will be in good hands, and I hope it will flourish this time.

Hehe, I can tell part of that text is something I wrote once, simply because of the use of fora big_smile

It is your text...

Maybe you should say where you quoted it from...

Magnie · 2012-04-24 14:12:59

Well, I'm working on an outline with Bubbl.us. big_smile

Some of my friends use that too.

I look forward to it! I am working on creating my own programming language, and forum software. It'll definitely take a while I'm sure, but good luck with yours!

I could be a beta tester (I am not that good at PHP) but I bet I can find any glitch!

If you don't already know what I'm going to say...
I know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.
I'd like to join this project.
I've already created a like button that can easily be integrated:

Wouldn't forums be the proper version here simply because if you look at the name it says "Scratch Forums"

muppetds · 2012-05-13 16:05:34

here is a suggestion
RSS feeds or email for whenever someone posts on a certain topic?

muppetds · 2012-05-13 16:06:57

I can help in about 2 weeks
(I can learn the languages by then)
What languages do you recommend?
I can learn stuff really fast as long as i have a target to reach
EDIT: I am learning HTML5, php, i need to go over javascript again

Even though for the previous project I had said I was too busy to help, I would love to be of use this time!

I am a bit less busy now and am even willing to take one of the more important roles. I really believe this project can be a great benefit to the Scratch community and the internet in general (eventually)!

For the usual formalities, I am proficient in CSS, PHP, HTML, and Javascript. I can easily handle the new CSS3, although I am still learning HTML5. I have very good standards of code formatting, and have also had various past experiences in coding similar systems. I have even written a guide on security of sites, so user protection wouldn't be a problem. The only thing I need to tweak is my MySQL knowledge, but it sounds easy smile

Zeusking19 · 2012-05-14 14:03:39

All accepted, welcome!

Sorry I havnt seen this in a while.

Could you send me an example of your work? One for your html skills and one for your php skills. Thanks

muppetds · 2012-05-14 14:14:48

ok im still learning html and php although by next week i should be fluent in both of them
