I'm confused: what exactly are you asking? tongue
If you want to pull topics, use extern.php.

Using extern.php is completely allowed: if the forum admin didn't want it they would remove the page wink

Re: pulling topics from punbb.org and punres.org

hcgtv, that seem interesting.. but you have to download other programs and then db info from that program.
seem ok.. but what i want is a punbb mod designed for punbb....

im looking at the code for that mod see how to create a mod for punbb and a ap mod to run the back system.

Re: pulling topics from punbb.org and punres.org

Well it uses Magpie to pull the feeds but you could use SimplePie which is more up to date on the current standards and easier to use in my opinion.

Re: pulling topics from punbb.org and punres.org

i got a rss mod that i did and it is on http://bunpai.com over on the right side.
it was simple but no ap mod.
what would you think it would cost to design this mod a paid mod.....?

Re: pulling topics from punbb.org and punres.org

Artificial Intelligence, I was playing with that theme last week, I really liked the look.

One problem with it is that if you increase the fonts, the layout breaks big time. I contacted Luka on his site about it but never heard anything back, I hate it when people ignore a message sent. I mean if you're so busy that you can't return a call, then don't have an answering machine.

As for cost, you could contact one of the PunBB developers, see if they have the time.

Re: pulling topics from punbb.org and punres.org

I used a template from oswd.org for the site I just finished: www.chopaway.com/pun/

Just a simple integration for now, I will play with the board style when I find a little more time and submit to bunpai if you want? Wanting a silver theme for the board to match the (imo) great Andreas07 template smile

Re: pulling topics from punbb.org and punres.org

what i thought of doing is having bunpai.. a site for people that likes to integrate punbb with css templates.
but have them post there main.tpl or how they did the integration to bunpai. so that people will be able to see how they did it.

as you can see i needs some help ..lol. to set the site up for this.


lol

Re: pulling topics from punbb.org and punres.org

An excellent idea smile I cant really help you set up the site but when it is up and running I'll be an active member and try to submit plenty smile Ive actually dont quite a few of these oswd.org templates and integrated a punbb into it. Most of them dont see the light of day, I just do it for fun to see how they would look.
