Create an forum?

[Hirameck]

Does anybody have code for a forum. It has to free code and in ASP. :(

Do you want a free forum in ASP that you can add and remove code from?

There are MANY, here's one:
http://asp-dev.com/forum/?page_menu_id=0&page=20

But if you want any more, and to pick from a large amount of forums you might want to try other, that might be better, forums here:
Search word: "Forums"

Anything else?

I have a question related to this. Where could I find a tutorial on how to build a ASP forum. One that goes in detail with like the global, and all the rest. All I've been able to find have been here is the code for these few pages. If no one knows then maybe you could answser my problem. How do I set it up so when the person clicks the submit button on a post the post add's the forum # and inserts it in to the database.

If you are unsure of what I mean let me know.

You have just asked a mouth full.
But it's not hard.

You need to set up a system before you can make a forum, all a forum is, is a bunch of threads for one topic, which can have little topics of it's own.

So you need make a system so that pages know what forum your in, and what your submiting too..

I think you should look at how a forum works before you copy ideas that just don't matter at the moment.

Search word: "Forums"

If you put in more keywords you find forums that can show you how they did parts. You might need to learn more ASP before you can make a fully working vbulletin like forum.

I think you're trying to do too much at once.

Why not make everything that deals with the forum before you add them together.
Make a posting page, make a reading page, make a login page and set up a login like system. Then you can move on to more... Editing posts, Registration pages, more then one thread.

ty for repling....i have been researching this for about 2 months or so now. i have a register users page, members page and a few others done(all in asp). at my school site i have made about 3 announcments pages, helpped make an email database page(simple enough), and a teacher page creater(simple enough). i know asp....i was cruising threw here earlier and found a usefull site. i know alot of basic asp scripting.

i think that my problem would have to do with seccions and/or the thing im drawing a blank on...it starts with an A....ne ways i believe it has to do with one of those two.

Well, I don't know exactly what your problem is. It seems to me like you haven't connected everything to one database.

Do you know all the tricks and how to use indexing with databases yet? If you learn how to index ID numbers then it seems your problems would be solved.

from the sounds of it that might jus b my problem. ty

you know of any good web sites that could teach me a thing or two about them?

[Morgoth]

I am not a good guy ot be asking for tutorials, I try to learn from more then one site so I can get hooked on one way ideas...

I want to know how stuff is writen, and if it must be writen like that.

SQL = "SELECT....

The String name SQL doesn't need to be SQL (believe it or not). It's just a string, but everyone uses it, so when I was first learning ASP, I thought SQL was some sort of an Object. I later found it hard to read other tutorials because I didn't understand some of the basics of ASP.

This is why it is always good to find more then just one tutorial, that is why I like to direct people to ASPin.com and Google.com and any other place that doesn't give you just one way.
