I see now it's possibly man old connection string from the original website that is messing up.

In what file is the db-connection functions for the forum?

It was the fancy videotag! Thanks!

Still haven't been able to get rid of the database connection error though.

pun_tags
pun_poll
private messages
posts rss feed
post karma
last topic title
jquery
fancy video tag
fancy stop spam
fancy similar topics
fancy link icons
fancy query addons
fancy image

It happens during connection, so I guess it's the config.php, and that has been updated with dbtype = mysqli

Regarding "e#", all extensions are updated. I get the following message:

Warning: preg_replace_callback(): Modifier /e cannot be used with replacement callback in /home/hotsailsmauishop/hotsailsmaui.com/forum/include/parser.php on line 811

Still the same connection warning regwrding mysql_connect() vs mysqli. And I also have a deprecation error in the posts, regarding the #e parameter

No ideas what might be wrong?

This is my config. no usr/pwd/hostnames of course smile

<?php

$db_type = 'mysqli';
$db_host = 'mysqldomainname.com';
$db_name = 'mydbname';
$db_username = 'myuser';
$db_password = 'mypwd';
$db_prefix = 'bb_';
$p_connect = true;

$base_url = 'http://mydomain.com/forum';

$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;

define('FORUM', 1);

I did that but still get the same error

Hi,

I just upgraded from 1.4 to 1.4.4 (run on a PHP 5.6). I still get the

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead 

What do I need to change and how? I've googled and I've searched here, but nothing related to punk. Must be some lousy searcher I am. sO now this post. Pls help.

btw, what extension is used here that shows the nice buttons for bold, italic etc when posting?

In 1.3 I took the oxygen template and made a site specific template. What changes have been done with the new 1.4 oxygen template vs the 1.3 template. Are there some of these that I really should update to, and some that are optional?!

Hi,

one of the members of our punBB forum has reported that his signature has been hacked two times the past weeks. This was posted today. Is there a vulnerability in 1.3.4 that allows for someone to update someones signature (in this case someone added spam links)

Hi,

in 1.2, with the little knowledge I still have in HTML, I was able to change the layout quite easily so include our website's current header, footer and background, as well as change the width of the forum to fit the width of our website.

In 1.3, I don't dare doing anything without asking here smile

So, could anyone tell me what lines that need to be modified and in what source, to be able to get the flash header, and basic black colors, as well as footer and background image of www.hotsailsmaui.com/2010/ into the forum so it will look more integrated?! Or point me to someone who can help me out.

Kind regards
Niclas

I found that and removed it all together. But how come in my RSS, the correct email address of the poster never shows up? It's always the replacement email address (dummy/null)

We will consider your preposition.
You can change the email address at your forum yourself.

Where do I change this dummy@example.com into something else or nothing at all?

ok, thanks

content=posts is just the way I want it. Excellent!!! THANKS!!!
The forum I'm responsible for only have at most 10-20 posts a day and it seems the queries made had decent enough speed for me at least.

I think it would be great with one RSS for all new posts for all forums. Yes that would probably heavy. And one RSS per forum which lists all posts for that forum.
For forums that have a heavier usage, I guess to subscribe to topics is needed as you say, as well as the posts in a topic as per today.

Thanks for looking into it!

btw, Parpalak, wouldn't it be a rather easy mod to make? If you could point me to what lines need to be changed I can probably do the change myself.

Ok, so there are neither new posts in forum, nor new posts in all forum. I can't really see the point in having an RSS (the one linked to in the top of each forum's header) that always lists the first post of the last topic that someone posted in. If I'm subscribing to an RSS I always want to see the latest posts. Otherwise, what's the point in using an RSS/RSS-reader?! smile

If I'm missing something in the use of extern.php, please enlighten me so I can use it the way it's designed to be (and that meets my reqs above) smile

I'm using http://hotsailsmaui.com/forum/extern.ph … p;type=rss to fetch the feed.

The RSS contains the correct topic header, the correct url to the post, but the description/message is from the first post rather than from the latest post as one would expect, and the same goes for the writer of the post.

Hasn't anyone really had this problem?

I was running 1.2.22 before and have done an upgrade. It worked in 1.2.22

Hi, I've read the documentation of the extern.php but I can't find a way for the RSS to contain the latest posts. It only shows new topics and when they're answered, but then it shows the first post in the topic only, not the new posts.

Did anyone understand what I just wrote?! smile I hardly do it myself.

I would like the newest posts show up in the RSS, how do I do that? There, finally I said it wink

Tah heaps! I'll look into it and try the instructions above. Sounds like pretty big work though - maybe I just should go with a 24 hour update using the standard way (but in that process, loose any visual adjustments according to that site's look'n'feel as well as some plugins)

Hi,

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?

Bump... (I was really hoping someone could help out, since I need to upgrade the forum real soon)
