Not sure if anyone knows this or not but the search in the levels/mods section is not working

its giving me an error about brian D:

I'd like to fix it..

comon cool matty!

I posted something in the admin forum... we'll get on that

Eventually.

There is also another "thing" Cool Matty needs to fix.

Yeah, I heard she wasn't very impressed.

I know how to fix it I'm just lazy. I'll get it done this week, same with the other stuff echoman is so mysteriously referring to.

I blame Brian for making a ridiculous decentralized framework for the site >.>

Hey fool, this site was built from scratch before there were any web frameworks for php! Plus it was started in fakking 1997 and I had no fakking clue wtf I was doing. You're lucky the damn thing rendered to begin with! You're lucky you didn't have to help with the mass migration from file-based forums to database-based forums and file-based levels to database-based levels. Ask Jep about the many, many hours we spent going through each level ONE BY ONE and pulling the info out of a file and putting it into a db. Now stop *****ing and go back to your weak tea!!!!

Still blaming you.

lol perl

Haha, I think there are a total of 2 perl scripts for massassi, one is the levels search engine, which is a 3rd-party tool that was originally implemented when we had no db for our levels (the level "add" form would just generate an HTML file). There is an indexer script that goes through all the HTML files and makes an index, then the actual search cgi that searches the index. When we moved to a db for the levels, I didn't write a new search engine because it was pointless (and I was always busy with more important things).

Then the sotd archives at one point was a perl script, I don't know if it still is. (Just checked, it's not.) Actually maybe the button rotator is and any other dynamic info that gets pulled into the main page.

You people have no sense of history with your fancy frameworks and CMS systems. Anyway, assuming you want to preserve the current design (which I highly recommend), good luck getting a modern framework/cms working with FRAMES.

People still look at the main page...? I just go straight to forums.massassi.net.

Really, I thought you said a lot of it was Perl. Maybe that was Brad. That would explain the incorrectness, har har har.


Software engineering should manifest progress.


I think I hate you.

I think me and JL actually wrote a UBB-->invisionBoard converter before we decided in vB for the forum upgrade hahah

That was like YEARS ago

trust me I remember those days

I actually stud up for cgi/perl scripts.. but php wasn't worth a damn till at least version 3

massassi, the new something afwul.com?
