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 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)

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

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?
