Basically a lot of the forum functions are being used to make the forum mimic a CMS, where different areas of the forum look differently.

Other functionalities I added were:
* thumbnail generation of attached images
* quick reply
* preview in flashplayer of movie attachments
* Banner depending on which page one is at
* Random movie snapshot display
* online gaming application system integrated (could easily be used as an event handler, or todo list, etc as well)


There are still a few bugs here and there, but the site is my baby, so I don't mind keeping giving her attention =)

No not at all, it's all FUDforum - used to have a Joomla setup, but had a catasrophic HD crash a few years back and then we switched to only using FUD

Any chance of sharing your modifications with us. It would be great if we can add some basic blogging and CMS functionality to FUDforum.

Sure, but it's rather ugly hehe.

What I did was that I created a special forum called "Site Content" - I hid this forum from the users, so they can read it, but its not visible.

I then checked what ID that forum had.

Then I just added IF statements in the template system, to draw the messages in that specific forum differently from all the others.

So in drawmsg.tmpl it would look like this under the message_entry field:

{SECTION: message_entry}
{IF: ($obj->forum_id == 118 || $obj->forum_id == 119)}
{TEMPLATE: dmsg_news_post}
{ELSE}
{IF: ($obj->forum_id == 124)}
{TEMPLATE: dmsg_downloads_post}
{ELSE}
{TEMPLATE: dmsg_regular_post}
{END}
{SECTION: END}

Then I just added sub templates which contains the layouts.


In the downloads section, I wanted the first post to look different than the rest of the posts in the topic - simple IF statement again and shabaam, Stylized first post, with simple styled comments to the main thing:

{SECTION: dmsg_downloads_post}
{IF: ($obj->root_msg_id == $obj->id && $obj->forum_id == 124)}
<tr><td></td><td>
<div style="padding: 3px; margin: 0px 2px; border: 0px solid #aaaaaa; background: none;">
<span style="float: right;">{TEMPLATE-DATA: edit_link} {IF: $perms & 32}[ <a href="{TEMPLATE: dmsg_delete_link_lnk}">Delete</a> ]{ENDIFI}</span>
{IF: $obj->icon}<div class="img_shadow"><img src="images/message_icons/{VAR: obj->icon}" alt="{VAR: r[3]}" align="left" style="padding: 0px;"/></div>{ENDIF}
{TEMPLATE-DATA: drawmsg_file_attachments}
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
<div style="position: relative; left: 71px;clear: right;" class="img_shadow">
<div class="img_shadow_div" style="width: 506px; padding: 10px 5px; background-color:#FCFCFC; background-image:url({THEME_IMAGE_ROOT}/content_bg.jpg); background-position:right top; background-repeat:no-repeat;">{TEMPLATE-DATA: msg_body}</div></div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
<div style="position: relative; width: 630px;">
<!-- <span style="color: #666666;font-size: 9pt;">Written by {VAR: user_login} {TEMPLATE: dmsg_post_date}</span>
<br> -->
</div>
</div></td><td>
</td></tr>
{ELSE}
{TEMPLATE: dmsg_news_comment}
{END}
{SECTION: END}


Something like that. When I started all that, FUD didn't have the plugin system it has now, maybe it would have been possible to do something similair but much better with that.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention - In the news post thing, it has to be sorted in a reversed order, so you have to also edit the thread.php.t file I think and add an IF statement about the forum ID there aswell, to sort it reversed, I did it like this, on row 21 in my version of the forum:
if ($frm->id == 118 || $frm->id == 124) {
$sort_order = 't.id';
} ELSE { 
$sort_order = 'tv.seq';
} 

	$result = q('SELECT
		m.attach_cnt, m.poll_id, m.subject, m.icon, m.post_stamp,
		u.alias, u.id,
		u2.id, u2.alias,
		m2.id, m2.post_stamp,
		f.id, f.name,
		t.id, t.moved_to, t.root_msg_id, t.replies, t.rating, t.thread_opt, t.views, 
		r.last_view, t.n_rating, t.tdescr
		FROM {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}tv_'.$frm_id.' tv
			INNER JOIN {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}thread	t	ON tv.thread_id=t.id
			INNER JOIN {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}msg	m	ON t.root_msg_id=m.id
			INNER JOIN {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}msg	m2	ON m2.id=t.last_post_id
			LEFT JOIN {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}users	u	ON u.id=m.poster_id
			LEFT JOIN {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}users	u2	ON u2.id=m2.poster_id
			LEFT JOIN {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}forum	f	ON f.id=t.moved_to
			LEFT JOIN {SQL_TABLE_PREFIX}read 	r	ON t.id=r.thread_id AND r.user_id='._uid.'
			WHERE tv.seq BETWEEN '.($lwi - ($cur_frm_page * $THREADS_PER_PAGE) + 1).' AND '.($lwi - (($cur_frm_page - 1) * $THREADS_PER_PAGE)).'
			ORDER BY ' . $sort_order . ' DESC');

I have done so many changes, so it's not possible to list all of it, but if there is something specific, i'll gladly present the code.
