Здравствуйте,

мы ищем опытного PHP-программиста для поддержки нашего phpBB-форума (версия 2.11). Форум больше не обновлялся, так как было внесено большое количество изменений, и переход на новую версию просто невозможен. Нам нужен человек, который хорошо разбирается в структуре phpBB и его базе данных, так как придется программировать моды самому или модифицировать имеющиеся. Вы должны установить и настроить систему контроля версий SVN (или Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, etc.) и помочь нам научиться работать с ней. Наш сервер Debian Lenny. Список заданий в приложенном файле. Очень хорошо, если Вы предложите Ваши рекомендации по улучшению функциональности (а также performance, layout, usability, visibility, SEO, etc.) форума.
Мы планируем долговременное сотрудничество. Пожалуйста высылайте ссылки на проекты, где Вы участвовали и что конкретно делали.
Оплату Ваших услуг нам выгодно производить через электронные платежные системы PayPal или Webmoney.

Список заданий
1. Обнаружение и латание дыр в безопасности форума
2. Разработать рейтинговую систему по оценке активности юзера, качества его постов и голосовых сообщений
3. Надежная защита от спама (также и для приватных сообщений)
4. Полная статистика посещения форумов, отдельных постов, просмотра профиля и т.д.
5. Создание фотогалереи и возможность размещать на сервере свои файлы (file-attachment in postings)
6. Организация релевантных ссылок на другие разделы сайта
7. Оптимизация и правильная настройка имэйл-нотификации
8. Дать пользователю больше возможности представлять себя в профиле + статистика его активности
9. Сохранять историю пользовательских аватаров
10. Добавить больше возможностей форматирования phpBB-кода при написании сообщений, переработать Java-Script как в современных версиях форума
12. Выводить релевантные ссылки на другие посты в конце сообщения (SEO)
13. Возможно потребуется переход на UTF-8
14. Разработать алгоритм восстановления постов и потоков и самих юзеров, при случайном их удалении модератором.
15. Вставка тэгов description и keywords и их уникализация (SEO)
16. Возможность поставить закладку в google, twitter, etc.
17. Проверка php-кода на нестабильность и тест на максимальную загрузку (также касается MySql)

При необходимости использовать Ajax, при минимальной загрузке сервера

Hey, this is Dave,
I found that job on elancer.com

I already mailed with Torsten about that issue... As I said... I strongly recommend You to upgrate to phpBB3.0. In fact it is almost impossible to find all explots in an old phBB2.0 installation.

Some spontanous comments:

Quote:
- adding a strikethrough text feature/button and other phpBB code formatting


in phpBB you can edit as many custom BB Codes as you like in Admin Panel without programming

Quote:
- allowing users to upload several photos and create their own photo albums


File Uploads are also implemeted by default in 3.0. For a photo album there is a Mod

Quote:
- improving spam control through IP filter and blacklist

Also avalable in 3.0

Quote:
adding a feature that allows selected users (moderators) to delete spammers including all their posts

This should be possible by default, even in phpBB2.x

Quote:
adding a 'native language' feature (users can select their native language from a drop-down menu)

In phpBB you can add fields to the user profile by default

Quote:
adding a user activity report system

I don't know what is meant with an activity system but a report system is (the users can report spam etc) is implemented in 3.0

Quote:
displaying more information on progress report page

Could you provide some informations about that?

Quote:
save all previous avatars/photos (creating avatar history)

In Germany that would be a legal problem concerning but it is possible.

Quote:
- adding file attachment/file upload feature

implemented in 3.0

Quote:
if possible, migrating to Unicode (UTF)

dito

Quote:
adding list with relevant threads beneath each new topic (improving SEO)

Doable what does e thread defines as "relevant"?

Quote:
automatic checking for unique thread titles

Of Course this is possible, but I wouldn't recommend that.

Quote:
creating and adding a 'voting system' for our forum voice recordings (users can assess the quality of a voice recording using a score range of 0 to 10)

Quote:
adding a feature that allows users to list/show their own recordings

Here I need some more information abput the voice recording system...

Quote:
marking english-test.net customers with a special icon

You could add a group avatar (that's also possible in your current board)

Quote:
adding a text chat system

I've developed a Chat for phpBB 3.0 (Ajax based)

regards, Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond to our ad. The three main issues are the following:
1) How are you going to transfer and implement Slava's system that connects every single test question to the forum? Example: What is the difference between adverbs and adjectives?

2) How are you going to transfer our Progress Report System? Please see here: http://www.english-test.net/progress_report/index.php

3) How are you going to transfer, implement and update our Online Voice Recorder? Please check this: Recording voice messages on the forum?

We really are interested in working with you and I'm sure that together we can find a solution.

Best regards,
Torsten

To me it looks like a normal Thread in the forum. I'm I wrong?

Quote:
2) How are you going to transfer our Progress Report System? Please see here: http://www.english-test.net/progress_report/index.php

As far as I can see there are just links to the profiles of the board. So this wouldn't be a big problem.

Could you explain the voice-recorder system to me? How does it work and in which way is it connected to the board...

Could you send me a dump of the Database-Structure (tables without data)?

Sorry @Slava: Could you repeat that message in English? I can't speak Russian (or what ever language that might be).

It's not a normal thread because it was sent from our site not the forum. Just read this: http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic90.html#how_to_ask_a_question

Or even better: Complete at least one of our tests and click on one of the "Click Here For Explanation" links. Here is an example: http://www.english-test.net/esl/learn/english/grammar/ei001/esl-test.php

I think it'll take you about 10 minutes to find out what I'm talking about. Just put yourself into our users' shoes. In other words: Use the site and you will see what I mean.

Many thanks,
Torsten

It still look like a normal thread. The qustion ist how it is stored in the database. If it is a normal thread we have no problem. Then we just have to alter your Script which sends the Testresults to the board...

I'll take a more intensive look on the website later.

The DB-Structure would be a great help (don't worry I won't charge for checking out stuff like this) and in my opinion it still wouldn't be not a bad idea to talk on the phone... ;)

Hi Dave,

You'll get an email from Slava with a link to our database files. It would be great if you could analyze the structure and tell us what you think. Then we can talk on the phone next week. Would that word for you?

Many thanks,
