I thought it would be appropriate to ask you guys for your opinions on the two new big imageboard scipts now that Trevorchan is on its way out and development of Wakaba is apparently over. How do these compare to Wakaba in terms of speed and security? Are there any reasons -not- to use them? Out of the two which one is best. etc. etc.
I firmly believe that Tinyboard is very secure. I can't say much about Wakaba or TinyIB because I haven't really used them much.
In terms of speeds, I did some basic benchmarking a while ago: http://tinyboard.org/wiki/index.php?title=Benchmarking (not including Wakaba). Of course your initial thought would be that my results/tests are biased, and I don't care to defend that. It should be noted that not all functionality was tested, not all conditions were tested, and there are some inconsistencies with the results so they are to be taken with a grain of salt.
>>2
If I'm reading those correctly, it looks like TinyIB beat you guys in almost every test.
>>3
TinyIB may be beautiful in speed, but it lacks a lot of features.
I like TinyIB. It's simple.
>>6
It misses really basic things such as simple spam traps, file only deletion, post citations (such as >>1) and more. It also has a painfully bad admin panel, which makes post management a pain in the butt.
It may be a good choice if you need a super-fast imageboard system, otherwise just go for Tinyboard or Wakaba.
>>7
Tinyboard can be very fast too, plus all the features. The site I run gets at least one post every 3-15 seconds, 24 hours a day, and Tinyboard is able to handle it fine, without utilizing a lot of system resources.
Some unique features of Tinyboard include:
- Optional per-board detailed configuration files: http://tinyboard.org/wiki/index.php?title=Config
- DNSBL: http://tinyboard.org/wiki/index.php?title=DNSBL
- Load balancing: http://tinyboard.org/wiki/index.php?title=Load_balancing
- Varnish/squid and APC/Xcache/Memcached integration: http://tinyboard.org/wiki/index.php?title=Load_balancing#Caching
- Running across multiple servers: http://tinyboard.org/wiki/index.php?title=Multiple_Servers
...and a lot more.
>>8
Can't Wakaba do all of that out of the box? I'm inclined to say it can...
>>8
I don't know; I haven't had a good look at Wakaba. There's a lot more features than I just listed in Tinyboard, though.
I've heard some pretty good things about Wakaba, so it's up to you to choose which you want to use. One downside of Tinyboard is that it's still in beta. http://tinyboard.org/wiki/index.php?title=TODO
>>11
It really bothers me that you aren't being a faggot about this. The minute I get benchmarks proving this is comparable in speed to Wakaba, I'll probably switch.
Bumping for something new on the matter.
Is it true TinyIB was another attempt at making an imageboard script by the guy who made Trevorchan, Kusaba, etc.?
Is TinyBoard's development halted forever? Did anyone ever find out where it stands compared to Wakaba in terms of both speed and security?
Has anyone found any unpatched security holes in Wakaba yet?
What exactly happened to STI?
Are there any new contenders (not forks of other scripts) in the great imageboard script race?
> Has anyone found any unpatched security holes in Wakaba yet?
I've found two, but both require non-default configuration that absolutely nobody uses.
>>16
Still, its worth disclosing. The last time someone found a hole it was patched within the day.
By the way, what exactly is a default configuration of Wakaba anyways?
>>16
>>17
By the way, I doubt anyone is running a "default" configuration of Wakaba at this point. Every board running it has something else tacked on. Some have catalogs, some have searches, some have user classes for staff, some have things like flags, some have report systems, some have voting, etc.
Whatever it is you found needs to be made public so it can be fixed.
>>16
I really hope you didn't come here just to tell us that there were security holes and then leave...
>>19
The rarely-used features that have to be enabled for them to work also broke things pretty obviously. I figured that if anyone ever did decide to use those features, they'd end up fixing the vulnerabilities in the course of fixing other bugs. Also, they only allowed people to get broken HTML (with no way to insert valid HTML tags, so no chance of them sneaking scripts in) in their posts. I'll have to look through the code to see if I can find them again.
>>20
Hopefully you can. I need to fix any and all holes right away. I don't feel comfortable when my production server has the potential to be compromised.
>>21
There is no potential for compromise. The worst someone can do is make the board look a bit funny, and unless you've enabled some features that are pretty broken and fixed them, they can't even do that.
>>22
I can't even think of any features that fit the description. If you have any specific examples, feel free to share.
Stupid spam knocking my important questions to the bottom of the page. I don't like bumping without anything new to contribute, but I don't really have a choice at this point.
what about tinyboard vs wakaba vs tinyib vs NitPick 2011
>>25
No. Your software is shit and has no place even among the ranks of the Kusaba knockoffs.
I don't like doing it but I have to.
If anyone is interested, I am managing a Tinyboard fork mainly aimed at feature completeness while still having the lightweight Tinyboard core. I must say, that for a past few months the vanilla Tinyboard doesn't get any new commits, the website got recently down, so we are the only branch that is actively developed:
never use tinyboard. its just a pile of shit.
FoolFuuka has some nice features and is reasonably put together. It's stable release is pretty buggy right now, but if you're willing to work with the code a bit it's not that bad. I'd recommend Tinyboard (or a fork) for now, but that could easily change. All imageboard software is terrible anyway.
Does anybody have Tinyboard documentation saved? And in particular the explanation of markup syntax page?
>>31
It depends on what you need.
The default markup is:
'''text''' -> <b>text</b>
''text'' -> <i>text</i>
text -> <spoiler>text</spoiler>
TB+vichan-devel also adds this one by default:
==text== -> <h2>text</h2>
If you want to add your custom markup, then you need to add a line to your inc/instance-config.php like this:
$config['markup'][] = array("/\\(.+?)\\/", "<span class=\"spoiler\">\$1</span>");
The first string is a regular expression. Here you can find the documentation about those: http://pl1.php.net/manual/en/pcre.pattern.php
tee, the maker of tinyib and kusaba, is starting a new project called "sriracha" which aims to be a completely modular and easily expandable base-system. It is similar to the now-defunct edaha by sazpaimon, the maker of kusaba X, and tee may soon be porting over some of edaha's code. It should be pretty epic once completed. visit irc.1chan.us #sriracha and ping tee if you're interested or would like to help out.

Wakaba still works after all this time with little to no issues everywhere I install it. I wouldn't call that sucking.
>>32$config['markup'][] = array("/\\\\(.*)\\\\/", "<span class=\"spoiler\">\$1</span>");
.+? == .* and you need 4 backslashes to match one backslash in a regex (though 3 backslashes seems to work too)
>>32
my message was badly formatted, in inc/config.php it's done well, actually.
.+? and .* are not the same. ? after + or * marks the pattern as ungreedy, so it matches as few characters as possible, instead of the regular – matching as much characters as possible.
TinyIB
hy guys, i have a problem to set a board-logo
settings.php:
define('TINYIB_LOGO', ""); // Logo HTML
>Logo HTML
<img src="http://www.linktoimage.jpg">
also
define('TINYIB_LOGO', "<img src="http://www.linktoimage.jpg">"); // Logo HTML
it comes:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/********/public_html/imgboard/settings.php on line 16
what is wrong?
define('TINYIB_LOGO', '<img src="http://www.linktoimage.jpg">'); // Logo HTML
You have to use the proper apostrophe.
@39:
thx very much, problem solved.
have a nice day :)
