Isn't it too much with all the country flags? Isn't  the load time too long? (I've got big doubts)

Hi everybody, a quick message to say you that my punBB integration changed again!

Is my forum still looking like a monster? Have a look to the expat forum

(I have integrated quite a lot of new things and modified a lot of things since my last post here)

What do you think about this new version?

Thanks in advance for your responses,

Julien

Hi everybody,

I am Julien from the expat forum. I definitely love punBB, and this is why I decided to use it for my expatriate website.

I had a lot of fun customizing punBB smile I created sub and sub-sub forums, the website is completely multilingual and more! (there are still a few bugs I need to fix)

My website is dedicated to expat blogs, and I wanted to create one forum per destination. So I used zones (continents), countries, and regions (cities or states)... The forum became huuuge! I launched the new version of my website (with the new forum) last week. I was pretty excited ... But ...

After reading these posts http://punbb.informer.com/forums/viewto … 55#p115255 (btw thanks hcgtv for noticing my work), I am questioning myself ... Have I created a monster? I've never seen a punBB forum with so many forums and sub forums ... do you think it's a mistake?

Should I change the presentation of my sub forums? Look at the forum Europe. Are the sub forum taking too much space on the page?

Thanks in advance for giving your opinion. All ideas, suggestions are welcome smile

And thanks to the punBB team!

A minimum number of posts as a first security would be good, indeed.

The idea of the admin page is very good too smile


Can you make a combination of these two options?

c. Is it possible to install "sub sub forums"?

I took me few hours but this is working now smile

let's see the b. part now!

I think adding a language column to the category table would be the best solution?

Then I have to filter what's displayed by index.php  ... currently thinking about the filter ... (url rewriting could help?)

Great!

the 1) solution seems better as I might add new forums in a while. An interesting point is that I'd like to move a spanish topic to the english part of the website if it's been posted in the wrong area...

Which files should I modify for all this?

Thanks for your response.

a. so I should start to punBB and add my own pages?

b. I think the best solution would be to mod punBB in order to do show categories and forums sorted by language (but I don't know where to start). Using separate forum would also be a solution, but I would be blocked if I want to move topics from a forum to another one ...

c. I'll see what I can do

Hi there,

I want to completely integrate punBB in the next version of one of my websites. Few indications:

I want to use punBB user management for the whole website (and not only the forums)

I want a nice two levels horizontal navivation bar

I need to make it work with 3 languages (and many more later) with url rewriting

I want to use subforums

I've got a couple of first questions:

a. Is it better to integrate punBB to my website or to integrate my website to punBB?
Should I start from my existing website or from punBB?

b. Is it easy to manage several languages? (with url rewriting) I'd like to use only one user table for 3 forums

example:
www.mysite.tld/en/ -> menus and topics in english
www.mysite.tld/es/ -> menus and topics in spanish
www.mysite.tld/fr/  -> menus and topics in french

Is it possible to filter categories with languages? or should I install 3 instances of punBB?
A good example of what I'd like to do ... someone posts in spanish in the english forums, I'd like to move his post to the spanish forums. Is that possible?

c. Is it possible to install "sub sub forums"?
example:
level 1: recipes forum
-level 2 (sub forum): mexican recipes
--level 3 (sub sub forum): tacos recipes
--level 3 (sub sub forum): burritos recipes


Thanks in advance for your help smile

Hi everybody,

is there any list of the best punBB "real" integration? By "real" integration, I mean for example a website using punBB's user management system for other sections than punBB, a custom navigation bar (and not a main nav bar for the website plus the punBB navbar).

Thanks for your participation smile
