In case anyone was interested I have a discord created for discussion of development for my modules as well as other content that I might eventually get around to creating. https://discord.gg/QApcSEm Also here is a link to a OneNote notebook I am using for Module development notes and such, in case ...

I'm thinking I might end up creating a seperate module for presenting Manga/comics for people. I just need to figure out how that works and the best way to present it. ALso need to look into creating a module that converts books/comics/manga into epub/mobi books... … So my one module for a story arc...

... My archive module is quickly expanding into multiple modules as I plan it out.

So, while I'm rebuilding Fanbards.net to be a Fandom Social Network I am trying to create some CSS elements so I can end up having a MAGI based theme for the site. I also want to try and get the theme setup for non-social media sites like a normal theme so I am looking at other Drupal bases for that...

Thanks, it's been rough...

I turned 40 this year...

... fucking sucks...

Gen X aging out dude.

Hi, I'm back guys. So, I've had some rough stuff, not as bad as others, but its been a bit harsh on me. That being said I'm now working on a Drupal 8 based Story Archiving module that will be shareable to any who want it, and will have wikipedia capability... I hope... I'm also thinking of trying at...

Tear. And I really need to go back to my in progress file and dedicate some time to it. But I also have to dedicate a lot of time to fixing the pages.

Yeah, some are like that. All the chapters and stories need to be looked through and cleaned up.

So I’ve been working on trying to create a Drupal Feature Set that takes everything I've tried to do for Fanbards and put it into something that others could use for their own story archives and communities. I'm also hoping it will help me fix things with out doing what this post will be describing ...

So I've got the main feature set for Bookshelf pretty much done I think. I only have my own expectations right now to work from so who knows. It's also why I'm doing it's development separate from fixing up the main page. I've managed to figure out how to get the story list on the chapter add page t...

No sweat, I was using cloudflare to try and combat spam anyways... it worked for a long time but now I have to do it all manually with fewer free tools then before.

well, it's causing me some issues at the server level. I installed th ecloudflare modual into apache and now I've lost aconnection to my localhost apache solr server and the system can't run cron anymore. I'm going to reset the server to what it was originally... and I'm tempted to redo my nameserve...

amitakartok, I've actually implemented that currently as a stopgap until I can get something more concrete to secure against spambots. pwhodges, I took your advice and downloaded the spambot drupal module. This is the Drupal module that utilizes the site you informed me about. I've tried it before w...

Yeah... sorry about that. Spambots have become a plague. I had to institute measures that unfortunately weren't as learning as the module said it was. I'm trying to figure out a better way while rebuilding and refitting things to be more capable in the future... I hope. If anyone has any suggestions...

I'm working on it. And frankly all that stuff is me creating content. I stopped allowing new accounts on the page. It's killed the spambot issue. I've also turned off the queing modules. I post on the page stuff that is important related to the groups it's put under. Front page gets a total of it al...

Just thought I'd post here and ask this question of all you guys. I'm currently trying to finish up my Drupal Feature set called Bookshelf Open for Drupal 7. THIs is a community based feature set where if someone were to take it they could setup a writing community with little effort and go from the...

Just thought I'd let you guys know that I'm currently in the process of taking everything I've done for Fanbards and making it something that can be setup by anyone. It's being built for Drupal but if anyone can adapt what I've done to other CMS setups you are more then welcome to. http://fanbards.n...

I lost track of the other thread about fanbards, so here goes: have you been working on the presentation layer for fics recently? Previously, em-dashes often got mangled and newlines or page breaks seemed to get eaten, but recently I re-read part of Genocide and, lo and behold, the dashes were back...

I use what I use, I'll keep using what I use. I don't exactly get paid for this you know.

Great news! Do you plan to try and restore the site to something like a last working version, or put all the fics on fanbards, or something else? Assuming that I get the old databases from the previous owner I'll probably integrate it into the current Fanbards structure. From a maintenence stan...
