Obviously a fake id, but there IS a problem

You have this there:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style/Parmaja.css">

Compared to this everwhere else:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.parmaja.com/forum/style/Parmaja.css">

Re: Favorite posts

I don't know what is wrong here becouse it's always displaying this 
The file 'config.php' doesn't exist or is corrupt. Please run install.php to install PunBB first.
I have edited the viewtopic and added the php code above the header of my site...it's really weird becouse other stuff like showing you're logged as works but this thing not. Help is really appreciated.

if mONey is lOSt nOThINg is lOSt,
if cHArACtER is lOSt sOMeTHiNG is lOSt,
bUT,
if rELiGIon and eDUcATiON aRE lOSt eVErYThINg is lOSt.

  define('PUN_QUIET_VISIT', 1);        // We don't want to update peoples cookies on the front page
  $pun_root = './forum/';    // The path to the forum root directory relative to this script
  include $pun_root.'include/common.php';

  // If PUN isn't defined, config.php is missing or corrupt
  if (!defined('PUN'))
      exit('config.php doesn\'t exist or is corrupt. Please run install.php to install PunBB first.');

must be work

Re: Favorite posts

This is the home.php code 

<?php
  define('PUN_TURN_OFF_MAINT', 1);    // We don't want a maintenance message to appear on the front page
  define('PUN_QUIET_VISIT', 1);        // We don't want to update peoples cookies on the front page
  $pun_root = './forums/';    // The path to the forum root directory relative to this script
  include $pun_root.'include/common.php';

  // If PUN isn't defined, config.php is missing or corrupt
  if (!defined('PUN'))
      exit('config.php doesn\'t exist or is corrupt. Please run install.php to install PunBB first.');

  // Now we determine what style we should use
  $style = (isset($cur_user)) ? $cur_user['style'] : $pun_config['o_default_style'];

if mONey is lOSt nOThINg is lOSt,
if cHArACtER is lOSt sOMeTHiNG is lOSt,
bUT,
if rELiGIon and eDUcATiON aRE lOSt eVErYThINg is lOSt.

Re: Favorite posts

Ah, you must include files like that

include('./forums/favorites.php');
or
include($pun_root.'favorites.php');

|
|
include('./forums/active_topics.php');
or
include($pun_root.'active_topics.php');

not that

Wrong...

include('http://fadered.hollosite.com/forums/favorites.php');

|
|

include('http://fadered.hollosite.com/forums/active_topics.php');

Re: Favorite posts

Alhamdulillah, it's work now. Thanks for your help Zaher.

and one more question here.Now i have the favorite function that's mean only the post that selected will be showed right? The problem is how can i select a specific post to be displayed. As example i have 10 favourite post and i want 3 from it  to go to the main section and other 7 to  the other section.It will be great if you can make the function like that.Like in extern function example 

<?php include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=new&show=3&fid=9');
if mONey is lOSt nOThINg is lOSt,
if cHArACtER is lOSt sOMeTHiNG is lOSt,
bUT,
if rELiGIon and eDUcATiON aRE lOSt eVErYThINg is lOSt.

Re: Favorite posts

you must be an admin to browse a posts, iyou will find a link "Favorite" near of post bottom "Report | Delete | Edit | Quote | Favorite" click it, will make that post in favorites table etc...

OK i can make it  as internal and external include, in next version soon.

Re: Favorite posts

I don't understand I keep getting a blank page!

Changed the code to:

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

On the install_favorites.php, and I just get a blank page. My website is just the punnbb forum so no need for the ./forum addition in the code.

Need help thanks!
