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?

In addition to this, I have many many custom pages on my website that use punbb's user tables and many punbb functions. For example I have custom profile pages that refer to all the $pun_user[] variables. Another example is I use some of the parsing functions when posting user content to other pages on my site.

My question is, does 1.3 still user mostly the same function names, user table names, routine names, and still reference $pun_user[] for all the user vars?

tnx

// Block prefetch requests
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_MOZ']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_X_MOZ'] == 'prefetch')
{
    header('HTTP/1.1 403 Prefetching Forbidden');

    // Send no-cache headers
    header('Expires: Thu, 21 Jul 1977 07:30:00 GMT');    // When yours truly first set eyes on this world! :)
    header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s').' GMT');
    header('Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0', false);
    header('Pragma: no-cache');        // For HTTP/1.0 compability

    exit;
}

Explain me, why this is necessary and what is the prefetch requests?
Thanks advance!

This seems to mean that for every new user, I need to either have them edit their profile so that it defaults to subscribing them, or they need to do that.

How can I have it so that it defaults to subscribing them to their own posts for all new users?

First, I want to say thanks to the developers team that created a such good & simple forum script! I'm testing PunBB for about a week and it works very well for me... But there is a problem (that I think is not only mine) - Styles. I understand that the present model of styling was created for a lighweight, fast and secured forum, but it limits very well the designers to make some new forum styles... I'm asking the development team to create a PunBB 1.3 Template Based Edition. What that means? I think it is easier to work with tables than with divs (for me) and other major goodies... Can you guys create a style based on table tags, not on divs???

Thanks, jordi

PS. PunBB Dev Team, you have a bug report from me...

Search engines are not picking up the posts or forums.

Does anybody know whether there are any specific reasons behind that.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

How to make title on topic name only???

I also dont like "(Page1)" and whatever in title tag ...

<title> tag could be nicer

for example this topic:

<title>Too long title on topic posts page (Page 1) - PunBB 1.3 discussion - PunBB Forums</title>

i'm currently working on a website for my guild. It looks really sweet and is working pretty properly aswell, i editted the punbb forum to my style etc.

However, i want to add login functionality to all my pages. I have a widget that has member functionality in it, such as uploading screenshots and other private information. To achieve this i want to link this login-div to the punbb forum/user accounts.

I figured out that i had to add

define('FORUM_ROOT', './forum/');
require FORUM_ROOT.'include/common.php';

to my pages in order to achieve that. But i can't figure out where i can find the user informations. I saw that it was stored in an array in 1.2, but i can't figure out how it works now.

could anyone help me out?

I just want a simple login/logoff function on a random page, the define/require works properly. Also this includes having the check if the user is allready logged in.

thanks in advance.

(When it's done i can link the webpage don't want to spoil )

What are the most important differences I should look out for?

And is there a recommended procedure for moving a forum to a new server?

THX for your answers

In \include\dblayer\mysqli.php we can see Query/Query build function:

#1
function query($sql, $unbuffered = false)

#2
function query_build($query, $return_query_string = false, $unbuffered = false)

Can anybody tell me when unbuffered is true?
