The miniBB bulletin board system is really nice. It is simple to setup, and the code is easy to modify. And the default graphical look is very clean and nice. You should check it out.On this page we make available a few free "addons" for this system that we have created and found useful. For comments etc. about these addons, email: help-minibb armiento.net.
LaTeX addon
| |
A free (GPL) addon for the miniBB bulletin board system to enable people to post LaTeX equations in the forums. Very convinient for deeply technical discussions :). It uses the very nice mimetex.cgi component (which you have to have installed on your server).
Download here (zip archive)
Info from README.txt in archive:
This file describes how to modify the forum system miniBB to add a new bbcode [tex] that uses mimetex.cgi
to render LaTeX equations and images. You also get an "equation" button in the post edit form that works similar to
the bold, italics, etc. buttons. When pushing this button you get a popup window where you can enter
code for your LaTeX equation.

Code addon
| |
A free (GPL) addon for the miniBB bulletin board system to enable a tag [code] for posting in proprotional font, keeping whitespace, and with no bb-code or smiley substitution.
Download here (zip archive)
Info from README.txt in archive:
This file describes how to modify the forum system miniBB to add a new bbcode [code] that makes it possible
to post segements that shows in a proportional font and preserves whitespace and avoids bb-code and smiley
replacement. (Basically, it is a variant of the "PREFORMATTED TEXT solution" written by Sergei Larionov
(minibb.net) but with the addition of avoiding smiley and bb-code replacement just inside the preformatted
segment.) This is thus very suitable for posting e.g. indented code segments, and ascii art.
