Installed PunBB 1.2 (precedent version was 1.1.1 er well not updated since long now).

New design from scratch. Some new features to PunBB for custom needs:
- Cool URLs don't change: forums URLs are like /forum-19, topics like /sujet-783, etc. Using Apache Rewrite Rules and modified PunBB to use new URLs (URLs are editable through config.php). Also for new posts (+nouveau is appended to URL instead of &action=new) and for pages (+page appended instead of &p=)
- Corrected function paginate for Cool URLs and to having old URLs still work
- Link on title
- Can add personal links to menu, using an array in config.php
- First hierarchy link name in viewforum and viewtopic changed to parent category name.

1.2 is definetely great smile

Free, the second french ISP, which hosts about ~800 000 websites, has created an automatic installation system of PHP scripts.

Since today, PunBB (with wordpress) is accessible to automatic installation for free hosted websites.

For information, Olivier ( http://neokraft.net/ ), french developer of DotClear, a PHP weblog system, has obtained from Free that they don't offer DotClear in automatic installation, because of various reasons, mostly because of the support he will has to provide to Free.fr users.

Yes! I don't want to change the link url, just the link name! I just want to have the same link (to the forum index, just useful) but with the name of the category. In some words, instead of <a href="index.php">My forums</a>, I want <a href="index.php">Current category</a>.

(From the 1.2 beta topic, which isn't the best place for feature requests...)

Just a thing: when displaying a list of topics or a topic, at the top it's a "hierarchy header", like here it's "PunBB.org Forums / Announcements / PunBB 1.2 Beta" (it looks like the same thing in 1.2 beta). But I think it's better if the first part of the hierarchy will display the name of the category instead of the name of the forum (here the category name is "PunBB"). It will be soooo useful for me. On my forum I've got two categories with same forum names inside and it's hard to find in which category I'm currently...

It would be very cool to include this into the 1.2 release smile

Un peu tuné pour avoir un titre propre à la xHTML strict et le nom de la catégorie en haut des posts, quelques hacks au niveau du profil et de l'administration (la base de données est utilisée par un autre forum: http://forums.journalintime.com/jel/ ).

(french version is at the bottom of this post)

OK, It's not really cool and nice to do it I know. But there's no legal obligation to keep the Copyright notice. I really love PunBB and I'm the first to promote it to other webmasters I know. But I think that it's not really useful to have a Copyright notice on each page. Users have nothing to do with the software inside the forum, they don't care about it.

So, If Rickard really hates me for deleting the Copyright Notice, I will put it again. But my objective of removing the Copyright notice is not to say "my forum is not a script of Rickard, I've made it myself" but just a useless notice that I thought I can remove without being burned on public places. I don't keep a text on my webpages saying "Powered by Apache (C) Apache fundation / PHP (C) PHP something / mySQL (c) Mysql group. / Linux (C) Linus Torvalds", so why keeping the copyright notice of PunBB? PunBB is really cool (again) but I think that the Copyright notice is just useless. I don't think I have stealed anything...

French version:
OK, C'est pas vraiment cool ni sympa de l'avoir enlevé je sais. Mais il n'y a pas d'obligation légale de garder le copyright. J'adore PunBB et je suis le premier à le promouvoir auprès des autres webmasters que je connaît. Mais je pense que ce n'est pas vraiment utile d'avoir un copyright sur chaque page. Les utilisateurs n'ont rien à faire du logiciel derrière le forum.

Mais si Rickard me hait vraiment pour avoir supprimer le copyright, je le remettrais. Mais mon objectif en enlevant le copyright n'est pas de dire "mon forum n'est pas un script de Rickard, je l'ai fait moi-même" mais juste un message inutile que j'ai pensé pouvoir enlever sans me faire brûler sur la place publique. Je ne garde pas un texte sur mes pages disant "Powered by Apache (C) Apache fundation / PHP (C) PHP something / mySQL (c) Mysql group. / Linux (C) Linus Torvalds", alors pourquoi garder le copyright de punBB? PunBB est vraiment cool (bis) mais je pense que le message de copyright est juste inutile. Je ne pense pas avoir volé quoi que ce soit...

Very nice! Releasing the converter here sounds like an excellent idea. BTW, what forum software is that?

My own forum soft smile
http://www.tilt.eu.org/pretextes/forum.php3

So it's light and HTML 4 valid and has same functions of PunBB but not user registration and profile and is for little forums (only one forum, not categories). It's not so popular but it could be useful for others smile

Full migration from tables to a completely XHTML/CSS based design will probably not happen until PunBB 2 (or whatever version). However, PunBB will be XHTML transitional compliant in PunBB 1.2.

So xHTML transitional is a good start smile Cool, PunBB is defintly good smile

Rickard wrote:

That's actually not up to PunBB. It's only a matter of adding some rewrite rules to your apache configuration file.

So that's not only rewrite rules 'cause we have to convert from topic title to topic ID to get the good topic. And if the post title change, the URL don't have to change to keep links up.

Thanks for your answer and sorry for my english smile

http://forums.journalintime.info/

This is a french forum. So the forums are for now a little empty but in few days I convert messages from my old forum (from http://www.journalintime.com/forum/ ) to PunBB. for this I have wrote a conversion script that will be released here if you like.

So, why PunBB? It's light, it's fast, it's cool.

I have done some mods on my PunBB:
- Checks the size of the avatar after copying it in img/avatars directory because my PHP have open_basedir restriction and PunBB wasn't able to open the temporary file.
- Modification of template to be much more compliant with my design attitude (xHTML/CSS2), and I hope that PunBB will have a strict xHTML version in near future, cause tables design isn't easy to customize.
- The footer has been changed.
- Adding a function in profile.php to set style with a GET call: profile.php?action=set_style&id=2&style=Lithium for example.

And I think in near future to implement to PunBB of having simple URLs like /Categorie/Forum/Post (in example for this post: /PunBB/ShowOff/SoPunBBIsNowOnMyWebsite). See also http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI

So PunBB is good and cool but could be better if it was in xHTML smile
