I did something like that to get the fieldset to have rounded corners so moz would look like IE defaults.  Again though it was commented here that it breaks the XHMTL 1.1 strict rules  Just wondering, do you have to change the DOCTYPE to Transitional when you apply these moz only rules? Or is there a way to seperate the two so IE browsers look at the deault style sheets.  I know that IE will just ignore these rule but will it go into quirks mode?

See here for fieldset post. http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6365

BTW, it does look cool.  I just hope that these will someday make their way into the standards...

This is exactly why Web Development drives me crazy.  Any other industry would say you have to move forward.  But noooooooo.  I motion that all browsers shall have an experation date and stop working when they expire.  Good Luck Paul.  NS 6.x is such a bad browser.

They tested him for steroids, but the tests came up negatives.  His trainer confronted his father (now estranged) about the "secret concoction" he was feeding his son.  His father said if you ever mention this again "I will kill you".  He may have not taken steroids, but I bet his father was feeding him growth hormones.  (i.e "doggy steroids").  I saw the docemntary last night on TLC.  Its creepy, but I bet no one f's with him at school   lol.

I know you stated that its for 1.1.4, but will you have a compatable version for 1.2.x ?

something like this?

<?php

function truncate_string($details,$max)
{
    if(strlen($details)>$max)
    {
        $details = substr($details,0,$max);
        $i = strrpos($details," ");
        $details = substr($details,0,$i);
        $details = $details." ..... ";
    }
    return $details;
}

?>

Usage

<?php

$text = truncate_string("hello there. This is a long string",19);

?>

Produces this

hello there. This .....

you would then have to have it link to "full story".   That is something that I am affraid is outside the scope of what the news generator was intended for.  Rickard offered this Admin plugin as a freebie.  any modifications will undoubtably have to be by the user.

So the answer is yes, it can probably be done. but I am not sure if the author will do requests like this on a onsie-twosie basis.  It would open the floodgates for more requests.  Someone may pick-up the ball and submit it as a mod. who knows...

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I think your idea of skinning/templating is a good one.  I know this is not phpBB, but have you ever tried to decipher phpBB or Vbulltin templates?  The last time I did, it was not for the beginner, and I had a rather hard time understanding it at first.  punBB has been a gift from the gods.  Even back in the 1.1 days, it took only a short time to figure out how to wrap it into your own design.  The first BB/forum I ever used was Vbulletin, and yes I did pay for it .  This was before I knew of free scripts, and was very new to php & webdev in general.  One of the things they did have that I thought was rather nice, and helped me tremendously was a "style cheat sheet" that had a screen capture of a forum display and notes as to what color setting was associated with specific areas of the display.  Kind of like if I were to draw an arrow to the H2 header in "Post a reply" and state that this is set here -> in the config.  VB, XMB and I believe phpBB use the admin interface to change colors of elements on the page.  I know that XMB stores this "color" scheme information in an SQL table.  I am not in favor of this due to the potential load it may put on a server every time it loads a page and calls the information from the database.

It?s a nice feature to be able to adjust color schemes in the admin interface.  Is there a way that it can be cached instead of calling the database each time a page loads, while still adhering to the K.I.S.S. methodology?

I am forever a huge fan of punBB, and the community that surrounds it.  Authors actually view and reply to posts without attitude, and I come away with a better knowledge of how punBB works, as well as learn a trick or two about PHP/MySQL/CSS every time I visit the site.

Thanks again!

I think its the box titled "Le parloir" on the main page.

Nothing. 

Its not in the color scheme file by default.  So I guess he could add this class definition to the Color Scheme file also. which would be a hell of lot easier.

Therefore: 

He should just open the _cs file and add the following to the bottom of the file:

.pagelink {
  color: #FFF;
}

If he wants it to be white text.  right?

this way there is no need to modify viewtopic.

Thanks connorhd !

sometimes I tend to over "engineer" things.  your way is better.

EDIT: n/m paul beat me to it

HEY?!?!?! 

Ok, I will give it a whirl...  I like a challenge.

Thanks,

Its just a modded Main.tpl to match the rest of the site layout.  Now if i can only get it to work and validate with 1.2.x  I will be happy.  I guess I will do the wrap in tables like you did. and of course clean the H-E-double hockey stick out of the code.

Thats sucks Rickard.  I am sure there are more positives than negatives with your ISP   Its to bad legit people have to jump through hoops.
