OH you need to kill your cache, just hit submit on the admin_options.php page and it should be fixed, hopefully.

Did you run install_mod.php?

Upgrading from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2

In admin_groups accourding to readme.txt

That should be it, all should work and hopefully I won't have to update again soon.

Bah, I'm very sorry I appear to be the one who missed the step. I was working on 5 mods at once which is never a good idea. 1.0.2 will be released in a moment.

Ataxy, can you link me to the forums where you have installed, my guess is that you either didn't run the install_mod.php or you missed a step in the readme

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. What was ment was admin_groups.php

Here is a better description.

You get 3 more boxes that you can turn on and off like the Announcement box.

Two of the boxes are exactly like the Announcement box and will be displayed to everyone except they have the titles 'Information' and 'Advertisement'

The last box is a box that will only be displayed to Guests and hase the title 'Guest Information'

An example can be seen here.

Upgrade from 1.0 to 1.0.1

Find in admin_groups.php

<tr>
    <th scope="row">Group color</th>
    <td>
        <input type="text" name="group_color" size="9" maxlength="7" value="<?php echo $group['g_color'] ?>" tabindex="25" />
        <span>The color that will show for users in this group in the who's online list, and in posts..</span>
    </td>
</tr>

Remove it

Then following the new readme

#
#---------[ 5. FIND (line:94) ]---------------------------------------------------
#

<tr>
    <th scope="row">User title</th>
    <td>
        <input type="text" name="user_title" size="25" maxlength="50" value="<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($group['g_user_title']) ?>" tabindex="2" />
        <span>This title will override any rank users in this group have attained. Leave blank to use default title or rank.</span>
    </td>
</tr>


#
#---------[ 6. AFTER, ADD ]---------------------------------------------------
#

<tr>
    <th scope="row">Group color</th>
    <td>
        <input type="text" name="group_color" size="9" maxlength="7" value="<?php echo $group['g_color'] ?>" tabindex="25" />
        <span>The color that will show for users in this group in the who's online list, and in posts..</span>
    </td>
</tr>

You can set the colors from Administration>User Groups>Edit the usergroup of choice>Bottom of the page.

However I just noticed you don't get to change the administrator color, I'll fix asap.

Also, for the colors to take effect in the whos online list, the user needs to login and logout if they already have a session.

Yup, just finished.

GD
From PHP Manual

Installation
To enable GD-support configure PHP --with-gd[=DIR], where DIR is the GD base install directory. To use the recommended bundled version of the GD library (which was first bundled in PHP 4.3.0), use the configure option --with-gd. GD library requires libpng and libjpeg to compile. 

In Windows, you'll include the GD2 DLL php_gd2.dll as an extension in php.ini. The GD1 DLL php_gd.dll was removed in PHP 4.3.2. Also note that the preferred truecolor image functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor(), require GD2. 

Note: To enable exif support in Windows, php_mbstring.dll must be loaded prior to php_exif.dll in php.ini. 

To disable GD support in PHP 3 add --without-gd to your configure line. 

Enhance the capabilities of GD to handle more image formats by specifying the --with-XXXX configure switch to your PHP configure line.

I just have a quick question. On lines 247 and 261 of viewtopic.php "if ($pun_user['g_id'] < PUN_GUEST)" is there any reason it checks like that over "if ($is_admmod)"?

We figure if you are registered you are more likely to post. So if you can just read the forums as guests and never plan on registering and then posting and contributing, why waste our bandwidth?

Well, today I was looking through google and I noticed none of my forum pages were getting indexed. I decided this was obvioulsy because I forced all users to login in order to view the pages. I know that it kinda defeats the purpose of forcing uses to login, but still have them be able to view the forums by viewing cached google pages. Anyways I threw together a quick hack

    $agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
    if (strstr(strtolower($agent), "mozilla") == false)
        $pun_user['g_read_board'] = 1;

for the default user function, and yes I know it sucks. Basicly I am wondering if anyone knows of a better way to only allow spiders to view the forums, but still disallow users

Alright, thanks for clearing that up.

Just a general question, but is having punbb display all php errors really nessasary for release versions? And if so why. As I recall even the php documentation specifies something about not having it display all errors.

172

(26 replies, posted in Feature requests)

The real problem with this, is there isn't a good day todo it. Unless I am missing something wink

Basicly you can have the data the users input into the custom fields in its own table, but that would mean if you wanted the data to be displayed in posts, that you have to virtually execute a query for every single post in the topic, which is just dumb.

The other solution I have come up with is to have it append the new fields to the users table, however if you want to add a bunch of custom fields, this isn't the best idea.

So if anyone knows an acceptable way todo this, I would be more than happy to finish what I have.
