How to implement LateX BBcode in phpbb3.0.8?

[USFmaster]

Is there a stable implementation of latex bbcode in phpbb3 3.0.8?
I would like to have it in my science forum.

Please help.

Hi,

Have you got a link to this lateX?

[USFmaster]

I have found a few links to latex tools that can be implemented in phpbb and a few php scripts.
I am not sure which is best and how to install them

phpbb-latex : http://code.google.com/p/phpbb-latex/
phpbb-mod-latex : https://github.com/bantu/phpbb3-mod-latex

php scripts :

http://www.xm1math.net/phpmathpublisher/

equation editor for phpbb3 with external script
http://www.codecogs.com/pages/forums/pa ... hp?id=1682

can you help me choose the best and easy one and help me intall it?

If it were me I would install the phpBB MOD: https://github.com/bantu/phpbb3-mod-latex

Topic moved to phpBB3 Support

I am trying to install the suggested one. I have advanced bbcode mod installed. Do I have to make any additional changes?

[cisco007]

you might, you will be better off asking the advanced bbcode mod author about how to implement it!

[USFmaster]

I asked the abbcode author and he says no changes need to be made to it.
so i followed the install instructions.
Activated allow_url_fopen in my server.
added module in acp>system>module mangement.
Activated remote server.
Added custom bbcode.

-------
and tested the bbcode.. nada!

it came just as that.. no redered Latex appearing!

....
Thinking about trying the next one..

But the page shows lots of confusion!

[USFmaster]

I will try that!

That is the same as the last link i posted in the 3rd post right?

[cisco007]

i don't really know another person posted that, you might have to look at the differences on both installs and see what they are!

Is there a way to install LaTeX without having to worry about XSS vulnerabilities?

[cisco007]

i don't think there is a way, unless the authors take the time to look through their entire code and test every possibility.
