Are tripcodes supported at all? I see some references in the source (like a "separateNameAndTrip" function) but tripcodes don't seem to work for me

@catharsis71

Are tripcodes supported at all?

Only the ability to view 'trip' from old log files remains.
'Trip' cannot be included when posting a new post.

[satopian]

@catharsis71
It's a feature that was once removed, but it can be implemented again.
Work a little and test.

Reimplemented the trip code generation function.
It has not been released yet, but you can download it from "code" on the top page.

[catharsis71]

Thank you for re-adding the tripcode functionality

Next question...

Shi-Painter seems to have problems, it takes a very long time to load for new visitors, or doesn't finish loading at all

Looking at the server logs, I eventually see a HEAD request for spainter_all.jar but I usually never see a GET request for it:

[2022-06-06/18:10] "POST /potiboard.php HTTP/2.0" 200 "https://cracky.win/" 
[2022-06-06/18:12] "HEAD /spainter_all.jar HTTP/2.0" 200 "https://cracky.win/potiboard.php" rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0" - - - -

Usually once it loads successfully once it will load better in the future probably due to browser caching however, I see requests in the log for a non-existent file "spainter_all.jar.js" resulting in a 404:

[2022-06-06/18:23] "POST /potiboard.php HTTP/2.0" 200 "https://cracky.win/"
[2022-06-06/18:23] "HEAD /spainter_all.jar HTTP/2.0" 200 "https://cracky.win/potiboard.php"
[2022-06-06/18:23] "GET /spainter_all.jar HTTP/2.0" 200 "https://cracky.win/potiboard.php"
[2022-06-06/18:23] "GET /spainter_all.jar.js HTTP/2.0" 404 "https://cracky.win/potiboard.php"

Probably unrelated but I also sometimes see requests for a non-existent file "mono_dark.css.map" also resulting in 404:

[2022-06-06/17:52] "GET /templates/mono_en/css/mono_dark.css.map HTTP/2.0" 404 "-" 
[2022-06-06/17:53] "GET /templates/mono_en/css/mono_dark.css.map HTTP/2.0" 404 "-" 
[2022-06-06/17:59] "GET /templates/mono_en/css/mono_dark.css.map HTTP/2.0" 404 "-" 
[2022-06-06/18:11] "GET /templates/mono_en/css/mono_dark.css.map HTTP/2.0" 404 "-" 
[2022-06-06/18:15] "GET /templates/mono_en/css/mono_dark.css.map HTTP/2.0" 404 "-"

(Note I have set the mono_dark theme as the default theme for my board)

@catharsis71 Since shi-Painter is a Java applet, an application called CheerpJ converts it on the server.
It is a conversion performed using the server of CheerpJ's development company.
However, shi-Painter may take a long time to start or may not start.
// Use Shi Painter
// (1: Enabled, 0: Disabled)
define ('USE_SHI_PAINTER', '0');

If you set Shi Painter to Disabled in the settings, you will not be able to select it.
If you only want to use apps that start immediately

// (1: Enabled, 0: Disabled)
define ('USE_SHI_PAINTER', '0');

Please set it.

This is because we are using an app manufactured in 2006, so it can't be helped.

And if possible, press the "New issue" button to set up a new thread for different content.
thank you.

Hello! I just downloaded the poti-board code but... to be honest, i don't know what to do now! I looked through the english wiki and translated the japanese wiki but i still didn't understand how to use and setup it. I want to set it up on my own computer first, self hosting it so i can properly understand it. Could someone please help me out? I have basic knowledge of html, css and javascript, and very small knowledge of php.

[satopian]

Do you want to install it on your own computer?
I use Windows, so I'll explain it that way. Install XAMPP and create a local server on your computer that runs PHP.
After you download POTI-board, get the potiboard5/ folder from there.
Put it in the htdocs/ folder of XAMPP.
For example, c:\xampp\htdocs\potiboard5\
Then start XAMPP.
Then open the server URL on your computer in your browser (for example: http://localhost/potiboard5/).
When you do this, POTI-board should already be running.
However, the administrator password in config.php is set to "adminpass" by default, so if you are installing it on the public Internet, use a password that no one knows and that only you use.
You will need this password when you delete or edit posts.
However, this PHP script bulletin board is not intended to be installed on your own PC, but is most likely to be installed on a public rental server on the Internet.
In that case, all you need is the contents of the potiboard5 folder.
Transfer all these files to the rental server.
Then, when you use a browser to view the file on the public server on the Internet where the file is stored, it will be initialized and work.

thank you so much, it worked! And how would i go on about customizing the CSS? I would also like to make a simple index page, maybe with some login options. Is this possible? How would i go on about that?

[satopian]

@Azoart
Anyone who knows CSS can customize it themselves.
However, this is a customization and we cannot provide support for customization.
Feel free to modify it. However, modified versions will not be supported by the developer.
However, there is a directory potiboard5\templates\mono_en\css\dev\sass where you can edit the scss to create 4 different CSS files by changing only the color settings.
To do this, you will also need to learn the technology required to compile scss files. This you will need to learn yourself or pay someone to do it for you.
This is free software provided for free and unfortunately we cannot provide support for customization.
Good luck!

when i press the post button, the image doesn't show up in the main page. What do i do?

[satopian]

@Azoart Is the problem occurring on a public internet web server?

Are you talking about a local XAMPP server?

When you say it's not reflected on the main page, do you mean that it's not displayed on a page like potiboard5/index.html, but the image is in potiboard5/potiboard.php?res=2?

Or is the image not being POSTed anywhere?

If the image is not present in potiboard5/index.html, the browser cache may be displaying an old page.

/* ------------- トラブルシューティング(trouble shooting) ------------- */

//問題なく動作している時は変更しない。

// urlパラメータを追加する する:1 しない:0
// ブラウザのキャッシュが表示されて投稿しても反映されない時は1。
// If the cache of the browser is displayed and not reflected even after posting, set "1".
define("URL_PARAMETER", "0");

define("URL_PARAMETER", "1");
In this way, by changing 0 to 1, old cache will no longer be displayed.

However, it's hard to answer if you just say that the image doesn't appear when you POST.
From what you say, i can only guess what problem you're facing.
Please provide as much detail as possible.
For example, a screenshot of the screen might be effective.

hello! i apologize for not providing more details, but the problem was indeed in the browser cache and your proposed solution worked, thanks!
i have another question. i think that, since this is a problem regarding customization you won't be able to reply to me but i think it's worth to try.
i would like to add a pagedoll to my board. i managed to move the main container where the header and the overall oekaki content is in to the left, so i have some space for a pagedoll.
i added the pagedoll image tag on top of the page_top button, in mono_main.blade.php:

<img src="https://file.garden/ZyOm7DtO7TTyC8Q7/oekaki/pagedoll/dummy_400x600_ffffff_cccccc.png">
<div id="page_top"><a class="icon-angles-up-solid"></a></div>
<script src="loadcookie.js"></script>

and in the mono_main.scss file i added:

.pagedoll {
	position: sticky;
	right: 50;
	bottom: 0;

	width: 200px;
	height: 350px;
}

however, my pagedoll is not showing. I moved the page_top button to the left side of the screen, and the pagedoll is supposed to be on the right side. It's ok if you can't help me, but if you can, could you please tell me why my pagedoll is not showing up?

[satopian]

@Azoart

and in the mono_main.scss

scss?

dev/sass/

The scss files in the dev/ folder are used to create a single css file using two files: a color-only configuration file for compiling css files, e.g. _mono_main_conf.scss, and a layout configuration file, e.g. mono_main.scss.
The design is in a file like mono_main.scss, and the color scheme settings are in _mono_main_conf.scss.
When you open mono_main.scss, you will see the following settings:
//設定ファイルの読み込み
// @use "mono_dark_conf" as val;
// @use "mono_deep_conf" as val;
@use "mono_main_conf" as val;
// @use "mono_mayo_conf" as val;
In this way, the color scheme of mono_main.scss is set to @use "mono_main_conf" as val;.
After that, use Visual Studio Code, a free program provided by Microsoft, to compile the file into CSS and create a CSS file.
In this way, we will create CSS files that differ only in four colors.

Sass (style sheet language) - Wikipedia

Editing the sass files directly will not change anything.

If you have difficulty compiling sass, you can edit the css files directly.

css/mono_main.css
css/mono_mayo.css
css/mono_deep.css
css/mono_dark.css

These are four different CSS files.
What's different about these files? The color settings.

This is where we switch the css files.

i'm using a scss to css command line tool compiler - the official one from the sass install page, and i managed to change all the styles i wanted by editing the .scss file, since it seemed easier this way, and it worked very well. However, i can't seem to get my pagedoll to show up.

A pagedoll is basically a image that i want to be fixed to a specific area of the webpage: the bottom right, as an example. I added a divider to the .php page i mentioned on my other reply, and i added its styling to the .scss file, and then i compiled the .scss to the .css file using the command line tool i mentioned. However out of all modifications i've done to my page, this is the only one that didn't work, and i don't know why. 💔
