Can someone please write a migration tool so i can import posts from bbpress to punbb?

How to set up the style: go to Profile->Settings and choose "Copper" in "Available styles".

You can download the style from the Trac: "Download in other formats: Zip Archive" link at the bottom of the page.

Feel free to post your suggestions here.

What is your recommendation?

Also what is best to get rid of infections?

Thx.

Does anyone here have a PunBB board that is deeply crawled by Google? I am curious to see how this software does with Google and other search engines before I use it in a production environment.

Secondly, I've noticed that CSS file which comes with one phpBB style is 657 lines long. On the other hand, Oxygen.css alone is nearly 2000 lines long. Why is that? Also, Oxygen.css is quite cryptic to understand when compared to that phpBB style (at least to me) and I cannot find any documentation.

I'm pleased to announce my OpenID extension for PunBB, as requested in http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … -support/. It was developed as part of my bachelor thesis. It makes use of JanRain's PHP OpenID Library 2.1.3 from http://www.openidenabled.com. Though the library itself claims to support PHP 4, the extension requires PHP 5.2 due to heavy use of object-oriented features. Because of the library being backwards compatible, it triggers some warnings when using PHP 5. I have fixed those in the library shipping with the extension; otherwise, it's unchanged.

Features

• login using OpenID (more than one OpenID per account is possible, traditional password-based login too)

• registration using OpenID (both SReg and AX are supported to request attributes)

• add/remove OpenIDs to/from existing accounts

• authentication using OpenID to change password/e-mail address (instead of entering old password)

• update profile information using OpenID (again, using SReg or AX)

• list of users OpenIDs in profile (private information)

• administration: user search includes OpenIDs in results

• administration: search for OpenIDs

• English and German localisation

Future ideas

• OpenID-only accounts: flag indicating if a valid password has been set, if not, hide all password input fields

• sorting of OpenIDs: allow user to set order or select default OpenID to preselect

Known bugs/limitations

• An attacker may learn which OpenIDs are registered and which not: a) upon login only for unregistered OpenIDs attribute requests are send, b) when adding an additional OpenID to an account, before authenticating it is first checked, if it is already registered; should this behaviour be changed to not leak any information?

• CSRF form: the confirmation form provided by PunBB does not work for OpenID requests (*). However, it should never be displayed as a custom csrf token is added to each request and checked accordingly.

• Timezone is not requested using AX extension: Might as well be an OP bug, as it could only be confirmed for myopenid.com, the only OP I'm aware of that supports the AX extension. Can you confirm this behaviour using another provider or do you know of any other provider supporting AX?

(*) This seems to be a rather complex issue. OPs may choose GET or POST when answering a request. When choosing POST, the csrf token that PunBB expects is (obviously) missing, so the csrf confirmation form is displayed. When PunBB generates the csrf confirmation form, it produces one hidden field per received POST parameter. But it has to add two more fields, e.g. for the csrf token. These additional fields confuse the security mechanisms of the OpenID library and the request is denied. This is most probably a library limitation and I can see no possibility for a workaround. The library uses php://input to read POST parameters, so there is no chance to remove the additional parameters before making library calls.

Tested using

• PunBB 1.3, 1.3.2, 1.3.4

• MySQL 5.0, 5.1

• PostgreSQL 8.3

• PHP 5.2

Tested providers

• PHPMyID

• claimid.com

• meinguter.name

• myid.net

• myopenid.com

• openid.claimid.com

• pip.verisignlabs.com

• xlogon.net

Changes

• 1.1.0: login using XRIs, changes to data format in database, some simplified code

• 1.0.4: tested compatibility with PunBB 1.3.0, some minor bugs fixed

• 1.0.3: fixed no/wrong error message displayed when trying to log in with cookies disabled

• 1.0.2: fixed adding of table name prefixes

• 1.0.1: two minor bugs managed to hide on my todo list, fixed in this version

• 1.0.0: first public release

Download
Download: https://dev.asdn.eu/projects/list_files/punbb-openid
Git-Repository: git://git.asdn.eu/punbb-openid

Please be aware that this is the first public release of this extension. Though I have tested everything I could think of, there may still be some bugs around, including bugs affecting the security, i.e. permitting someone to login without valid authentication etc. Feel free to use it and please report all problems you may encounter.

$forum_page['redirect_url'] = WWW.'viewtopic/'.$id;

$forum_page['form_action'] = forum_link($forum_url['login']);

$forum_page['hidden_fields'] = array(
    'form_sent'        => '<input type="hidden" name="form_sent" value="1" />',
    'forum_user'    => '<input type="hidden" name="form_user" value="'.$forum_user['username'].'" />',
    'redirect_url'    => '<input type="hidden" name="redirect_url" value="'.forum_htmlencode($forum_page['redirect_url']).'" />',
    'csrf_token'    => '<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="'.generate_form_token($forum_page['form_action']).'" />'
);

Where i can get list of $forum_url ,or get rid off this annoying fing "Unable to confirm security token". Why the hell you really need it? Anyway $forum_url['login'] is for login form ,but i need for logout,post edit etcc..

I have a hard time knowing what to search for and because of that, to find information on how to do the below:

I run a 1.2.20 forum which I want to upgrade to 1.3.4
I want to install the 1.3.4, set everything up, install templates etc. and THEN migrate the users and posts etc from 1.2.20 to 1.3.4 and switch from 1.2.20. Then the downtime would be minimal.

Any leads to instructions on how to perform this?

sorry for my english

ok... originaly i wrote the code to use myself with some settings mixed up inside the code, bad programing practive i know. Also the variable names, wich are very descriptive were writen in portuguese.

i went through the script and adapted it, the original version is working like a charm on my forums. I didnt test the modified version though so its possible that it has some kind of bug, i think not

If you need it just try it out, if you get some errors report them and i fix the problem.

You have to create a new table on your database and define some setings. The feed urls should be inserted in that table. The sql to create the table is in the code as a comment

OK, so this is how i put this working:
i created a folder in punbbroot and put this file there, you can name it whatever you feel like. I also put magpie and a modified copy of search_idx.php.
You can dload magpie here.
since this only works with mysql and i didnt had access to the database class, my modified search_idx.php has all the $db->function() replaced by the equivalent nativve mysql function. Like, $db->query() is replaced by mysql_query().

Ok... i know this is bad programing practice, i just wanted to have it working.
Anyway... any questions or trouble reply to this message.

is this possible in PunBB? and what is required to make this work?

Thanks in advance -

I am new here and I don't know if I set this topic on the right place.

I have a question about the Antispam System (CAPTCHA) because it doesn't work.

When a new user want to register than he doens't see the letters which he must typ in to can register, you see only a ''?".

I have a Mac and I tryed it with Safari and Firefox and by both in don't work.

My English is not so best because I'am dutch, sorry for that.

Best regards,

I am currently having problems on my PunBB 1.2.17 forum.

The problem is that my when a user selects "Forgot password" and types in their e-mail address to submit it the output error recieved is:

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the forum administrator with the following error message reported by the SMTP server: "530 Authentication required ".

I have tried to google up some stuff but have had no luck.

I am using a domain at GoDaddy that is supposed to be sending the username-password to my the users that request the "forgot password".

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Many thanks

*EDIT* Ok I seem to have got it to work by leaving it blank so that it uses the local mail program but the problem is that it doesn't actually send a new password to the email address. It says that it has sent it but it hasn't:

An e-mail has been sent to the specified address with instructions on how to change your password. If it does not arrive you can contact the forum administrator at *****@*****.com.
