drydock image board script
drydock is an image board script created in php and based on the Thorn codebase.

The developer of Thorn, Garret Albright, has ceased development of this codebase. Thus, we've created a development fork of Thorn, which is what this script is.
Some of drydock's features include:
  • Use of the Smarty template engine for ease of redesign and plugin system (from Thorn)
  • Support of SVG images (requires Imagemagick or rsvg) - a first for image boards
  • Support of Flash animations (requires PEAR)
  • Support for various Flash based movie player embed tags (like YouTube, Google Video, MySpace Video)
  • Support for customized capcodes ( ## Admin, ## Moderator, ## Whatever you want )
  • Optional registration with profile system (tie in with administration/moderation and capcodes)
  • Account-based administration/moderation (which allows for accountability and specific enumeration of abilities)
  • Robust moderator/admin functionality
  • regex word filters
  • Blotter functionality for global news
  • Thornlight and ThornQuasilight tools (developed for use on 573chan)
  • Quick and easy board set up
  • Many per-board options allow wide range of possibilities
  • Support for per-board forced_anon
  • Board-unique post numbers with massive backend rewrites from thorn (no more ugly URLs)
  • Spam blacklisting
  • RSS fed news page (generates from specified news board)
  • Working quotereply (>>573)
  • Metadata parsing for images (and Flash animation with PEAR)
  • Manager posts
  • Random banner script
  • Link field support
