Uh, then don't use the mods installed?  I mean, you can _always_ manage them in the plugin section. :rollseyes:

I don't know how can that be exactly, I just follow the read-me instructions.

I start to doubt that I have the right help.php file!
The content is too small!

<?php

// Language definitions used in help.php
$lang_help = array(

'Help'                    =>    'Help',
'produces'                =>    'produces',

'BBCode info 1'            =>    'BBCode is a collection of formatting tags that are used to change the look of text in this forum. BBCode is based on the same principal as, and is very similar to, HTML. Below is a list of all the available BBCodes and instructions on how to use them.',
'BBCode info 2'            =>    'Administrators have the ability to enable or disable BBCode. You can tell if BBCode is enabled or disabled out in the left margin whenever you post a message or edit your signature.',

'Text style'            =>    'Text style',
'Text style info'        =>    'The following tags change the appearance of text:',
'Bold text'                =>    'Bold text',
'Underlined text'        =>    'Underlined text',
'Italic text'            =>    'Italic text',
'Red text'                =>    'Red text',
'Blue text'                =>    'Blue text',

'Links and images'        =>    'Links and images',
'Links info'            =>    'You can create links to other documents or to e-mail addresses using the following tags:',
'My e-mail address'        =>    'My e-mail address',
'Images info'            =>    'If you want to display an image you can use the img tag.',

'Quotes'                =>    'Quotes',
'Quotes info'            =>    'If you want to quote someone, you should use the quote tag.',
'Quotes info 2'            =>    'If you don\'t want to quote anyone in particular, you can use the quote tag without specifying a name.',
'Quote text'            =>    'This is the text i want to quote.',
'produces quote box'    =>    'produces a quote box like this:',

'Code'                    =>    'Code',

'Code text'                =>    'This is some code.',
'produces code box'        =>    'produces a code box like this:',

'Nested tags'            =>    'Nested tags',
'Nested tags info'        =>    'BBCode can be nested to create more advanced formatting. For example:',
'Bold, underlined text'    =>    'Bold, underlined text',

'Smilies info'            =>    'If you like (and if it is enabled), the forum can convert a series of smilies to images representations of that smiley. This forum recognizes the following smilies and replaces them with images:'

Then probably the file is missing, double-check if you properly uploaded the file in ./forum and it the file name is correct.

You're right :$
The file help.php refers to the one in lang, not the one in the root of the forum, right? Because the latter has no:
echo ' '.$lang_help['produces'].' <img src="img/smilies/'.$cur_img.'" width="15" height="15" alt="'.$cur_text.'" /><br />'."\n";

EDIT: Neither does the other one have it!
I am in step 10!

No, they will be replaced, but the forums posts, registered users and so on are stored in the database which is not a file in your forum's root. You can access your database with PHP scripts or PHPmyAdmin but not directly from the FTP.

Now this answers my question !
I thought that by deleting the old forum and uploading brand new files and stuff, all my DB will be lost. Doh! I am wrong.
Thanks for your time. I'll go forward with that.

This one:

Ooops...Where did you get such a link ?

Server cannot locate what you are looking for !

The Server tried all of its options before returning this page to you.

You are looking for something that is not here. Please try searching or browsing the archives.

Posted as Not Found

I meant empty from my data!

And ah! So a modded version means that it doesn't include the files that shouldn't be replaced, such as admin, users, and stuff?

Moved to Modifications
You go to the file in your web browser wink

Now did you mean:
www.mysite.com/forum/install_mod_en.php ?
Doesn't work!

Well then all files will be replaced with "new" and empty ones! What happens to my DB?

No offence to your intelligence was intended smile

Oh no! That's the kind of explanations I usually need, precise and getting pretty deep into details. But this time - I am proud! - I figured out on MY OWN..
(Ahem..I mean, the punbb explanation was clear big_smile)

Oh oh! Okay, I'll try that!

PS: LOL @ At least 60 seconds have to pass between posts. Please wait a little while and try posting again.
Punbb enthousiam!

Sorry Smartys for posting my questions all in troubleshooting all the time.
I didn't loose anything Strofanto.
And how so not installed? Well, I meant upload it!

1.UPLOAD

./upload/*.* to ./

Upload everything to the directory, nah?

Why doesn't the readme file state anything about saving any old files from the old forum directories?

X, URL and LINK are your variables, you gotta replace them with whatever you want.
If X = 0 your custom link will be shown before "Index", just like PunBB.org in this forum.
URL as guardian34 said is the url that you're linking and LINK is the link name you want to show.

e.g. 0 = <a href="http://punbb.org">PunBB.org</a> this would be what Rickard used in this forum.

Thanks for explaining smile, but I perfectly understood that, and what I got was as I just said, the result above!
The equivalent of: http://punbb.org/forums/http://punbb.org

Er.. The forum is located in www.mysite.com/forum
So I want an item in the top to get back to www.mysite.com :S
So what I get is:  www.mysite.com/forum/www.mysite.com

To install it, I should start with the smilies manager.
There is this line:

2. RUN ]
install_mod_en.php

I don't get it! How do I run a php file?

I wanted to add a new item to my menu, using this:
X = <a href="URL">LINK</a>

Now what happened is that I put an url, but when you click, it sends you to:
forum_url/URL  which is not a valid link.

What's wrong in that?

I didn't think about issues that can emerge from mods combinations.
And yes, I see that the best way is to re-try installing the mods I want by myself..at least until something new comes up.

Thanks for the links soonotes, but some of those have features that I won't need, so I don't think that I'll use them.

I'll stick around to get help with the mods installation.

In other words, how do I chmod the avatars folder?
I don't think that I am the one able to change permissions for directories..or am I?

EDIT: Oh! Does that mean the change the numeric value of the fodler from 755 to 777?

EDIT2: I did that, and the permissions changed. I added the slash as advised up there, and it still doesn't work.

Last edit: Removed the slash again, and it WORKS!

Wow, thanks a million everyone.

Is there a webmaster field other than the "Mailing list" field in the Administration Options?

222

(11 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)

Oh, I thought that I needed to change the code too.
As for the options, I have changed it, but it still remains in the notifications and in the registration process.

I just changed the part of: '.$pun_config['o_webmaster_email'].'>'; to
'.$pun_config['the-new-e-mail'].'>';

So here is the thing:
Before:
- Outside the mail: xx Forums Mailer
- Inside the mail: xx Forums Mailer" <old mail>
Now:
- Outside the mail: xx Forums Mailer@ yahoo.com (??! The new mail isn't even in yahoo!)
- Inside the mail: xx Forums Mailer @

Should I have changed the webmaster mail elsewhere?

EDIT:
I changed here as well, and no change:
fwrite($socket, 'MAIL FROM: <'.$pun_config['newmail'].'>'."\r\n");
    server_parse($socket, '250');

That means that I'll have to wait for 1.3!
I'll see how far I'll get till then.
I know that mods aren't supported by punbb. But since they are mostly done by active users here, and people of "trust" apprently, then why aren't they supported?
And I was asking if there were any other users like the one of PwnBB who are thinking about helping. smile

Well well... I have changed it there as you suggested, but I still have it in the notifications, and everywhere!
