How about Top Poster?

and User gender http://www.punres.org/desc.php?pid=246 ?

Re: Need ideas

I'll make the gender extension.

Re: Need ideas

I'd like an additional "Announcement box" for custom html and scripts. I tend to use the announcement box for scripts and other stuff, but it would be nice to reserve it for actual announcements etc.

Another idea would be a forum specific html "Announcement box".

Re: Need ideas

hi there.
I've got one... tongue
hmm is it possible to make an extension which could help us to easily personalize the css styles, like last post column width, main forum width, etc(..).

because I tried to make my last post column width smaller than the default but I realized that I have to change some more values....  roll

haha I dont know if it is possible to make as an extension.... but just an idea and a question lol tongue

Re: Need ideas

I don't know about specific changes on the CSS, but I could probably make an extension that will allow you to edit your styles (as text) from within PunBB (kinda like Wordpress does), without having to upload with FTP to your server and all that hassle.

Is that good?

RE: Ideas

I need users to be able to attach a picture - gif , jpeg , png - to their post.
Like with pun_attachment possibility to upload - difference: that picture shows and isn't just a "link"

Then once that is done, I'd need a little image to appear in the post TITLE signaling to users  that there is a picture in that post (from the overview it should be visible before clicking post that their is an image included in post)

big_smile as you asked for idea! haha smile

Re: Need ideas

assuming I have a screenshot - and want to upload it to this website so that everyone can see it -
by doing: attach "picture1.jpg" then see it in my post...
so kind of like you've done above... i guess?

you're using photobucket embed link... that's a good start. but instead of 3rd party site... actual forum site.

Re: Need ideas

No no, I meant to ask if that looks good. A white box under the post with all attached images.

And yes, the images will be stored in the local server.

Re: Need ideas

Re: Need ideas

Ok, I'll start working on that sometime after new year. I got lots of stuff to do hmm

Re: Need ideas

yeah, this could help a lot to try diffrent changes on the CSS insted of uploading it everytime after some changes.
Thanks Garciat.
and if someone could help on the column width adjustments cool

Re: Need ideas

hello,
I want to add flv videos with JW Player.
is it possible to make an extension with this player : http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
I tried some codes but its doesn't even show the player. sad
if you could make it as an extension, it will be great.
Thanks.

this is the code I've tried.

   

//FLV Videos 
    $pattern[] = '#\[flv width=([0-9]*) height=([0-9]*)\](.*?)\[/flv\]#';
    $replace[] = '<div class="bbvideo"><object width="$1" height="$2" data="player.swf" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"><param name="movie" value="player.swf" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="frontcolor=0xEEEEEE&backcolor=0x222222&lightcolor=0xFFFFFF&autostart=false&usefullscreen=true&file=$3" /><embed src="player.swf" width="$1" height="$2" menu="false" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="frontcolor=0xEEEEEE&backcolor=0x222222&lightcolor=0xFFFFFF&autostart=false&usefullscreen=true&file=$3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage= "http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/></embed></object></div>';

Re: Need ideas

Did an extension that allows playing of files
But a proper extension wld allow you to set parameters in admin section or auto use size of file instead of the way I did

Download Extension:

Rapidshare .RAR
Rapidshare .ZIP

Demo:

Here


Just place your flv files in folder  x and past  url/x/yourflv  in between tags flv

I see it to autoplay in parameters. You may wanna change that in manifest.xml. Also size etc.... (Fixed Size I put in...)

Enjoy

Re: Need ideas

How about a decent forum backup database script?

my mind is on a permanent tangent

Re: Need ideas

forum backups can be easily archived with phpmyadmin.

there is a plugin in Wordpress that sends backups to your email by schedule. that way if you suddunly lost every thing. you can restore it by email. i use that my self, it send me emails every day to my big gmail account. here is the plugin.

Re: Need ideas

try checking the forums and you'll see that it doesn't work for everyone (and you might recognise a few names there as well).

backups can be done by phpmyadmin, yes, but you can't schedule those backups. It would be nicer to be able to grab a backup via the forum - I visit forums far more often than I use phpmyadmin (and I use it a fair bit for various reasons - but not necessarily on the right site). A one click backup would be more practical.

Re: Need ideas

at least add that as an option, most of the people will work with them.
