Sure it is.

Oh, sorry if I was being unclear. :( I meant to ask if it is common that web hosting companies allow .htaccess files.
Whatever,
The PHP system is slowly reaching a more mature state. The main things that are left to do now are the handbook, the faq, a phpBB theme and the web administration tools.
The question I have now is about how users should be able to comment the news items. I see these possibilities:
Using a custom comment system:
1. The user just enters a nick, without password or anything.
2. I create a separate login system.
3. I create a separate login system, but use the phpBB login information. (You would have to login on two places: the forum and the main site)
4. I use the phpBB login system straight off (dunno how to do it, but it should be possible? :wink:)
Using phpBB:
5. For every news item, a new thread is created in a special "news discussion" forum, letting users communicate and login just as in the other parts of the forum.
What do you think?

BTW: If you're curious what I'm doing, I have made my local apache server available though dyndns: http://mellan.dyndns.org/codeblocks/. But don't be surprised if it's down or doesn't work: It is my working copy after all..
Note that it for some reason takes 2-3 sec to connect to my mysql server, so the pages using the db are pretty slow.

No, I understood you alright :)
Our host allows it as most do (at least that's what I found out when searching for hosts).

This should be enough. No need to complicate things or else we 'd end up with a complete CMS ;)

Very nice :D
I have a comment regarding your phpBB-related questions.
It's not certain that we 'll keep using it...
If we change the site (thanks to you :) ), we might move to a newer/better forum system.
I 'll say it again: nothing's certain yet, regarding the forums. We might go with phpBB or we might choose to switch.
For example, I was recently evaluating SimpleMachines...

Now the FAQ system is done. (Just the system, not the questions. I save that work until the admin interface is done..) The next thing I'm going to attack is the handbook.
I don't know what you think, but I don't think it's very comphrehensive nor very well-structured. (At least not as good as it could get..)
Do you think it's okay if I restructure it to a more http://www.crystalspace3d.org/docs/online/manual/cs_toc.phpish structure (sorry, bad example, you get the picture: tree) and the source as XML? (to be able to convert it to XSL:FO=>PDF, HTML, chunked HTML and so on without much hassle)

Here is what it's going to be: (kindof, the CSS is a little weird because I used it for another text before)
