Hi all
If you code in PHP 5 ; do you use

1) a PDO (data-access abstraction layer)
2) a Database Abstraction (your own / an exists one : which one ?)
3) none, just the provided php class.


finally : have you make some tests with each of them to make your choice ?

thanks you for yours responses

Hi,
I'm seeking strength in the all-powerful person who can provide skills to carry out themes PunBB whose theme is online games and essentially Counter Strike.

Curiously, a lot of theme on network games exist on phpBB and NK but nothing to punBB.

DFSS is already ready for use, but lacking themes
The main purpose of this request is to propose DFSS to hire servers online games with a real alternative to NK.

So if you feel the soul of a creative and motivated and are interested let me know here or on the site dafunspirit.net.

C-U.

Hi,

Do you have try to use this feature of mysqli : http://fr3.php.net/manual/en/function.m … repare.php ?

Don't you think that, for large forum, this could speed up the performance ?

Kind Regards.

Apart from sponsoring the project, they wanted to later down the line offer paid-for web services in relation to PunBB (for example commercial grade PunBB hosting).

Whats' next? A special punBB for paying members. Now don't crucify me here people, but I think we are all entitled to our own opinions. I personally don't think anyone gains from this but the developers and those closely involved in punBB. Although you all have good intentions here for the project, I do think that you've (to quote a famous saying) "jumped the shark". Why does punBB need to rely on someone else funding the project. There are many great forums as well as CMS's out there that rely solely on advertising and they manage to still keep afloat. I think the company that is now involved has only one intention and that is to make money. They can never put the heart and sole into the project as you guys have for so long. Anyway, my prediction for punBB is that a lot of people will look for an alternative forum script. Lets see if I am right.

just my 2 cents.

+1 !
may be the "community" would have liked to be questioned for a possibility to avoid this assignment ...

On another side i hope they will do with punBB what RedHat did for Linux ...

Ok, i see, we could mix the 2 syntax, a pure PHP5 one with class and constructor and so on, and the existing PHP4 compatible  with PHP5 as it seems to be said here
i will make a try.

I read the topic about the end of the support of PHP4 at the end of the year.

Here in France, most of ISPs provide PHP5, so there is nothing that cant be done to use it wink

My question is : is there any chance to see a version of punBB in PHP5 ?

About the mod Puntal I manage and maintain, I'm starting thinking that I could produce a "standalone" (without punBB) version in PHP5.

that's done here
register and then i will add your profile to the group that can do anything.

a demo live website is available but i did not update it right now wink

Puntal 2.0.0 final is released

This version fixes a lot of minors bugs, and include a smilies manager plus the puntoolbar for an easier drafting of you content in each module
In addition, the Bugtracker add the status of the bug in the title of the post made in the forum.
Moreover, a reinforcement of the security has been made by include tokens in all the forms

Thus with this stabilized version you can devote yourselves to the creation of modules to your own way.
In the same way, the update of the existing modules will not have (in theory) any dependence with the core of puntal2, which will facilitate amply their development (core and modules)

After one year and one week of the realse of the beta1 here is the v2 big_smile

the announce

Kind regards

i did once too smile
have a look at ma signature big_smile

Hi,
smarty simplies a lot of things by providing many plugins or built-in functions or "modifiers" etc...
it's useful to avoid to reinvent the wheel
after that the question is ; is it justify to use it for one project or another, is it not to heavy etc...
punbb plays the card of the lightness so i dont think smarty will be used wink

* yeah you can't mix dc+punbb with it. the real method is here :

why cant you ?
this is the main goal of this plugin to use DC and then display infos from punbb on it.

it exists :
- Plugin for DotClear permits to display anything you need from punbb on dotclear 1.2.x
- PunSAPI  which is a toolbox to play with punBB wink and provide some ready-to-use methods

did you try with http://validator.w3.org/feed/ ?

when i try to validate http://punbb.org/forums/extern.php?acti … amp;fid=48
i get an error

A nice feature will be to be able to manage the timeout of the registration with the same IP (specially for guys behind a proxy).

setting something like that on the options page
$pun_config['o_register_timeout']

and then in registrer.php script :

// Check that someone from this IP didn't register a user within the last hour (DoS prevention)
$result = $db->query('SELECT 1 FROM '.$db->prefix.'users WHERE registration_ip=\''.get_remote_address().'\' AND registered>'.(time() - $pun_config['o_register_timeout'] )) or error('Unable to fetch user info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

its normal.
this version include picture in the img dir ; images that dont depend on a given theme. (there are image map inside; that's why)

DFSS 2.2.1 released and integrates a various goodies ;-)
Downloads

I'm now preparing a packaging that will include punBB/Puntal and DFSS (like i did before with punBB/puntal 1.x/DFSS 1.x) to simplify the installation as well.

lol big_smile i ask to see that wink

can you tell me when this errors occurs ? as this message does not exist anywhere in the puntal/dfss source ...

so remove it ...

you forget a / in your path
have a look at the source page

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/mygamingclan/dailychallenges/teamsthemes/puntal/style.css" />

instead of

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/mygamingclan/dailychallenges/teams/themes/puntal/style.css" />

go to the puntal config page and add the slash

there is no puntal dir because its not used this time.
copy punbb to puntal to fix this issue
but what do you mean by "i still cannot install this" ?
what's the matter ?

as i said in my README.txt file DFSS 2.2 is for Puntal 2.x not 1.x wink
so you need to get Puntal 2RC1 (the RC2 is near to be released)
