ZoneMinder Forums

Hi Philip,

Just a couple of suggestions to cut down traffic on your site:

1) Could you use a forum program that puts the entries into pages of 10 or so entries? That would save having to load the whole forum / thread for long forums / threads (phpbb provides this)
2) A search facility for the forums would save quite a bit of duplicate posting and be a useful resource (phpbb provides this)
3) It's often hard to know whether to post into Installation or General issues so again a fair bit of duplication happens. Perhaps the two should be combined?

Just some thoughts.

Hi Peter,

All good suggestions. The problem at the the moment is that I've built with site with Typo3 a GPL CMS. The advantages of typ3 are that things that migth take you a couple of weeks to do can be done in hours, the disadvantages of it are that things that might take a couple of hours (e.g. getting autologin working) can take weeks. It's a complex morass which is extremely difficult to figure out and at the moment I don't have a lot fo spare time.

However, apparently there is a phpBB component for it which I will have a look at. With a bit of luck it won't be like most other components which end up with development stopping when they're 90% complete and the features you want are in the 10% that's left!

Phil,
