Re: [release] pun_repository

I would make a request to have this also support CURL making it compatiable with some of the larger webhosts such as Dreamhost

The problem is that current implementation of get_remote_file() doesn't support HTTP-redirects. We're updating this function in the core and will use it (instead of file_get_contents()): you'll be able to work with CURL then.

Re: [release] pun_repository

Updated pun_repository to 1.0b3:

  • Dependency checks added (b2).

  • Preventing pun_repository from self-update (b3).

Please report all issues.

Hi,
I'm new in this (just installed my first test forum).
So, sory for stupid question, but, what is HTTP-wrapper, how to create one, and where should I put it?

Re: [release] pun_repository

Same Error on my installation.
That's why I asked previous question, maybe I'm missing something.

Re: [release] pun_repository

Yeah, open up 'extensions/pun_repository/pun_repository.php' and replace line 26 with:

define('PUN_REPOSITORY_URL', 'http://punbb.informer.com/extensions/');

Re: [release] pun_repository

Sorry, all. There is incorrect (testing) repository URL in the extension now.
I will update it for RC2 and fix this too very soon.
