hi
i need a mod installed on my phpbb forum. I'll pay you 20 frih$ if you find and install a mod that'll allow users to post math symbols and such on the phpbb forum.

You must find the mod and pm me

i'll pm you back with the details

thank you

I just looked on about 10 Sites for phpbb-mods. There is no mod to type math-characters... It's a problem of font's.

To do such thing, you'll need a truetype-font with alle the symbols. The you have to code a fontdownload. (In html. But I don't know how)...

Another way: If it are just the symbols, you can make gif's and do something like bb-code. Won't work for SQR(697*34+676) because the lenght of the term is variable. And you can't use Vector's in html (ok. you can. But it's hard to do. And probably it will not wirk within a phpbb-board)

Haha. Great Idea. That didn't come into my mind.... Very good.

@linexpert: Yeah. Do what he said!

i thought of that but it was too much work designing it and i didn't know how well it would work. Very Happy

Good idea Smile about the smilies thing. Can't be too much work could it ?

i found a thing called latex that allows you to type in math equations but it's not made for phpbb so if anyone wants to give it a try take a look at http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=94454

couple people said they got it working but don't know how. does anyone think they can do it?

1. Latex
You may need to ask your host for help with this, but you need latex to be installed on your system. tetex is a common such package - have a look in /usr/bin for latex and dvips


Latex is an interpreter language as php. You need to run a latex interpreter on the system, where your board is installed. So ask Bondings for installing Latex on FriHost...
linexpert
thanks tom. Very Happy
i did post this in the frihost support forum. Hopefully i'll get a reply soon. Smile
linexpert
bondings installed te package for me.
