Toying with another useless mod idea (Page 2 of 3)

I've uploaded the script: http://forums.bauchan.org/unix/viewdownloads.php?dcid=1

It uses Mediator's captcha mod for the captcha image, which I've tarred up with the scripts just for the sake of ease. His code is obviously GPL and not BSD, however. Just copy the email_topic.php and the captcha directory to the root forum directory, the lang file to the lang/English directory, and then link to the script via the ./email_topic.php?tid=[topic id selected] method. I've tested it as much as possible, but if anyone finds any problems with it, just give me a shout.

Which part is causing you the problem? Creating the db table or something else?

Now that I've set that standard test forum up, I'll chuck the code on there and see what it needs. With regards to the db table, pop that code in the programming forum and see if someone may be kind enough to do the deed of converting the table to MySQL syntax. I must admit, I'm not too familiar with MySQL semantics myself.

never mind. I am an idiot. I forgot that it is only present if I am a guest.

Btw, you can disable the captcha and guest use of the script if you desire with two variables near the top of the script.

$usecaptcha = '1';
$allow_guest = '1';

Setting those to 0, (zero), will disable the respective portion.

If you already have the captcha files, just change this line:

<img src="<?php echo $forumuri ?>captcha/ran.php" alt="verification text image"/><br/>

to:

<img src="<?php echo $forumuri ?>ran.php" alt="verification text image"/><br/>

That'll use the files you already have there in the root dir.

Just regarding that download mod, are all your admin files still in the root directory, as is the default?

With the tables, I'm honestly not sure. I've never diddled with MySQL as such, so not sure what the syntax is. I'll pop the code up here and see if someone can convert it to Mysql and tell you what you need to do.

Edit: Btw, I've just redone those files, as I think I made some minor alterations to some of them after sending you them last time, so I'll get the new ones sent through. I've just checked, and they're working on a standard PunBB now:

This directory contains an unmodified and modifed common_admin file, so that you can see the changes required for that file. I've also done a diff of the two, which is the common_admin.patch file:

Well Matt, I've tried and tried to run the dbupdate script and I can't get it to work. I don't know how it works for you but not for me. I finally managed to change this area:

// Circumvent maintenance mode
define('PUN_TURN_OFF_MAINT', 1);
define('PUN_ROOT', './');
require $pun_root.'include/common.php';

// We want the complete error message if the script fails
if (!defined('PUN_DEBUG'))
    define('PUN_DEBUG', 1);

Yours for some reason didn't work, but at least this takes me to the actual screen when I can click on install. When I do click on install I get the following:

I did..doesn't' work
