i have a database and i need to set up a webpage linking to the database for a forum. I have absolute no idea how to do this, are there any really simple tutorials on how to create a forum anywhere.
I no about the adding info to the database, deleting info etc but i dont no how to write the code in asp so the webpage actually looks like a forum, eg, like this one.
I am creating a forum in asp. I have the database set up great, and can handle users, but I have on concern. How would I pass what forum/post is being looked at to the next asp page? I have a forums front page, with all forums pulled from the database, but how would I link them to an asp page?
Not make an individual asp page for each forum, I don't think? More like pass the Forum's ID number into the link somewhere, and have the next page pull that ID number from the page? Then pull all threads with the right ForumID. Same thing for posts, really. How do I tell the next asp page which post to pull up from the database?
I know that the great majority of the Forums is developed in PHP. Question: Does anybody know some Forum developed in ASP?

View Replies View Relatedi want to add a forum to my website, i don't have time to built one and i found a free php forum that call PHP-NUKE, i'm sure that some of you heard about it. unfurtunatly i can't use this system cause my windows server does not support it. does anyone know of a similar system in asp that i can use?
View Replies View RelatedI am in the process of writing my own forum. It is gone fairly well so far. I been searching different forum scripts, both asp and php, and I can't find this answer.
How is it scripted to only show a forum post that hasn't been read by the current user?
I feel it has something to do with the last visit, and or the date of the
post.
But I am not sure how this is done. On my phpbb forum, I can go in and read something, go back to index, refresh, and that post is now marked as read. how is this done?
my client wants a forum integrated in his website. Ive found some existing forum solutions (snitz, carbon communities etc...). These are great, but my client wants the forum working whereby when a user posts, the post is sent to the clients who then confirms or denies the post. The forum is for a school, hence the very tight regulation of posts.
Does anybody know of an existing forum which allows this functionality (preferably a free forum).
if anyone has a bead on an installable forum besides SNITZ. Im not totally concerned aboutit being free or not
View Replies View Relatedif its using access for db its even better.recommend a free one.
View Replies View RelatedI am looking for a ASP Forum which can be easily modified. This Forum also has to have very little "hard-coded" templates and styles, as I am making a ASP Forum for a Browser that supports HTML v3.1 and very little of all that fancy graphical styles out there.
So the forums should be quite basic and in plain HTML. So in a way I am only looking for the "ASP Forum Engine".
Can anyone direct me to good tutorial site on how to build an online Forum with ASP.

View Replies View RelatedI have been mostly frequenting the PHP forums but now my job makes it necessary to get my hands dirty with ASP.
I am trying to find a Forum Software (Open Source or Commercial, doesn't matter) that has all the bells and the whistles. The following are some of the major requirements:Integration with existing Site and DB (including migration of data from current forum)
Ability to apply the look and feel of the site (if various parts of the Forum can be broken down to components/panes/boxes/windows that can be included in other site pages as well as customisable through CSS)
If anyone knows of any software that meets these requirements, please do let me know. Additionally, if you have experience in using that software, your opinions on it will be much appreciated. Currently I am going through some forum's that I managed to find through searching in SitePoint (ASPPlayground, Snitz, Web Wiz Guide, IdealBB). If are experienced with these
I am running an Access database driven website using ASP in IIS 6.
Lately I noticed people can enter their messages into the Access thread table without login. And the web page couldn't display this particular post. The user name field suppose filled automatically once the user logged in. But the field is empty while the content of post is already in the table.
I can see people has been trying funny things to my discussion forum. The forum works perfectly fine if people don't try anything funny. I've post and reply message in the forum, I've never had any problems.
How can I fully test my website? People call it script testing and Quality Assurance?
Is there any free ASP script for a forum?
View Replies View RelatedI wonder how to detect the URL of a post in the forum. detect "http://" ? but some URLs do not appear as this type.
View Replies View RelatedI've noticed changes to the forum, for instance... the addition of a "time spent on forums" and user-post "bar" thingiemabob
...And on the front-page I'm presented with a link to "View my warnings"
Which is obsolete, considering that I don't have any warnings (oh, I'm such a little angel!)
Any news or admin care to comment on this?
Could somebody advise me on the best NG or forum to try and find help in

View Replies View RelatedI have an asp cart system on my site called vpasp and i use a phpbb forum but its very hard to get people to use the forum as i don't have much time to put into it myself. I came across a site that has a forum integrated into the cart system itself so any customer is already signed up and logged in to use the forum once they've placed an order or registered and any topic on the forum about a particular product has a link displayed on that products description page which further promotes use of the forum. I would Really like to have a forum which has features like this which are so integrated on our site but have an extremely tight budget so was wondering if anyone on this forum might know how this might be done? We use VPASP shopping cart system (www.vpasp.com) on an MS Access database. Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to install a forum / bulletin board on my site and would like any recommendations. It will need to be ASP based.I have heard of Snitz and believe this is a good one, but wondered what else is out there that others may have used?
View Replies View RelatedI run my site off an asp cart system called vpasp and i'm currently thinking of installing an asp forum called webwiz forums but what i want to do is i want to display at the bottom of all of my product description pages any forum topics which are related to that product, so it would be something like the search results for the product name which would list the topic headers as links to each topic?
I've seen this on php sites but not on asp sites yet and i wouldn't have the skills to develop an add on like this myself so i'm wondering if anyone here knows of any forum that already does something like this that would run with my asp cart system?
I wish to diplay the number of posts and threads i have in my forums, I have got 1 table for each forum, and 5 forums whats the best way to get this data? Is it have 5 different recordsets, where i could count all the starting posts for the threads and have a record count for the posts?

View Replies View Relatedi have a pretty simple forum written in asp, however i would prefer it if the posts were displayed in a thread, rather than having to look at a list of replies and then click on each persons response and then reading it. i've totally redesigned the look of it, but i'm still teaching myself asp and i'm a bit of a newbie. theres only one file, 'viewpost.asp' that i beleive needs modding.
View Replies View RelatedI am currently operating a hosted ASP site with SQL Server installed. I need a very basic forum (ideally for free) and any suggestions would be much welcomed. I note that Snitz offer an extremely comprehensive ASP forum which is free but from experience I know that learning to use this properly is quite a steep learning curve and right now I do not have the time. What I am looking for is a forum which bears the same relationship to Snitz as Notepad does to Microsoft Word.
View Replies View RelatedAll I want is that can anyone give me a simple ASP Code of a Forum.
View Replies View Relatedany ASP Forums or portals I have found Snitz and Max Web Portal but would really like to know if users have used anything else and what the opinion is of said systems. Especially as our hosts use PHP I wonder if perhaps ASP just isnt up to running a good forum?
