I have a small code to insert on my webpages to track visitor stats, and I was wondering how I could track visitor stats on my forums?

First, yes of course I have the smilies option enabled.

I uploaded a new style (css) and everything works fine except smilies don't work.  Everything just shows up as:

: )
; )
: lol :

and I used spaces on purpose so I can show you what I mean. 

Any ideas?

Is it possible to prevent users from emailing eachother using the email link below their username in their post?  I have spammers abusing that feature to get to all of my users.

Great idea, actually perfect!  Exactly what I need.

Wouldn't you just use the same config.php file for both forums?  Then they are both configured to the same database and host.

Is it possible to run the same forum on 2 separate websites if the websites are hosted by the same company?

Awesome, thanks!  Keep me updated.  You're a great guy and thanks for all your help!

How do I change the color of the poster's name? Example:

It says "By Tom" in red but I want to change that color.

When you save the file as config.php make sure you choose the file type "all files" or else you will be saving it as a text document and not a PHP document.

when I say "news feeder" I am referring to the index page you made that displays the entire post.

Ok, yes, that is exactly what I am talking about.  I'm glad we are on the same page now.  So you can't use that page you made because it is a stand alone page.  I understand you can use the <pun_include> because I use that for the login mod.  But I wanted to know how I can do that with the news feeder that you made.

Glad we are understanding eachother now!  If you ever make that a mod that can be added in main.tpl with <pun_include> then please let me know, that would be awesome.

Thanks for all your time and help!

Ok we are getting much closer to what I'm looking for.  Now, how would I be able to get this feature onto the ORIGINAL PunBB index that shows all the forum categories, etc:

//----------------------------------------------------------------------//

//These are the forums from which the news is retrieved
$forumids = array(1,3);

//This is the overall limit for how many news items will be displayed
$master_limit = '5';

//This is the amount of characters above which truncation will occur
$trunc_chars = '50';

//----------------------------------------------------------------------//

How would I get that feature onto the ORIGINAL PunBB index that shows all of the forum categories?

The index you use is for a frontpage.  How can I get this news feeder onto the original punbb index?

That is what I'm trying to do, we're getting closer!

That didn't work.  Oh well...

The news topic I use isn't a mod like that, its an entire index page like in the link above, the one you edited.

Ok guys, sorry if I'm being a hassle, but I posted a link to a picture I edited in order to show you what I'm looking for.  That link is in the post above this one.

Thank you so much to anyone who can figure this out!

Quaker,

Here is a picture exampe of what I need, I used your forum as an example: VIEW HERE (I think if you double-click it you can enlarge it to see better)

See how it has the original forum index but it also has the recent news feed posted above it?  How would I do that?

Oh I already have the miniportal installed.  I also installed the news topic for the frontpage (the link to that is in the 2nd post).  But I wanted to combine the 2 indexes into one.  I want the original PunBB index.php to display a selected topic, just like the news topic feed mod does.  The only thing is that there are 2 different indexes, the one for the homepage that displays the news feed, and then the original index of all the forum categories.  I was wondering how to combine them into one page so the original forum index displays the news feed instead of creating an entirely new frontpage and having index.php and forum.php

Does that make sense?  The picture should give you a good visual example.

Q,

Thats pretty cool.  Unfortunately I am a PHP idiot!  If you figure out how to combine index.php and forum.php to make it so the original index shows a selected news topic then please let me know, that would be great.

But doesn't main.tpl have an effect on every single page?  I think it does.

Nice, thanks quaker, it was in the stylename.css

Now just one more thing...

Instead of having index.php and forum.php, how can I make it so the selected news topic is displayed at the top of the page with the forums below it.

What I am envisioning is the original PunBB index with a selected news topic displayed above the forums just below the header.  Does that make sense?  It would be GREAT if someone could figure out how to do that.

The reason: non-internet saavy visitors get confused by having 2 different homepages: the frontpage and then the forum index.  So I'd like the original forum index to display a selected topic right above the forums.

I hope that makes sense and whoever can figure this out is awesome!

Thanks!

Thanks guys, that will get the job done!  But while you're here, I have another question...

I installed MiniPortal but it is kind of skinny, how do I increase the entire width of the forum.

For example, if it is wider then sentences would stretch across the page much longer like this one.

But as of right now, the sentences
don't stretch across very far
like this sentence right here
because it is skinny.  It isn't
THIS crammed up, but you
get the point!

Thanks guys!

I just installed the MiniPortal for my forums but the news feeder automatically updates with each reply to the original topic.  How do I make it like the Punbb News Blog on the PunBB.org homepage so I can set a given post and people can click "comment" to go to the thread.

As of right now, when someone replies to the topic it updates and shows the latest reply on the frontpage.  I dont want that.  I want it to stay at the original post like the PunBB News Blog.

Thank you so much in advance, you guys are awesome!

Alright, this time it works even when I go do admin tasks and it stays that way.  Thanks, you're good!

I TAKE THAT BACK! lol

It appeared to have worked but as soon as I tried to do an admin task it happened again and reset the Base URL back to the incorrect one!
