PunBB 1.2 Beta (Page 2 of 11)

Hi,

I have an error when I install the new punBB 1.2.

An error occured on line 1240 in file /home/site/www/punbb2/install.php.
PunBB reported: Unable to create indexes. Please check your configuration and try again.
Database reported: Access denied for user: 'user@IP' to database 'name' (Errno: 1044)

this line is the one which build the indexes on tables

I change the real data . I don't understand haw can I have an access denied whereas my tables are created and the indexes are a pb. I look punbb 1.1.5 and i saw that ths file install.php has the same query for builging the indexes so I try te réinstall this version and that was ok.

So if someone has an idée it would be nice for me. Than you

Hi Folks,

Great Job Rickard!  Also, I need to shower praises on Paul too.  :>)

My install went without a hitch, however if I had something to fuss about for an early beta release, I would say the text is too small for my old eyes to read it.  Actually, it's really *too* small to really see anything.

Internet Exploder 5.1 on Mac OS 9

The same is not so bad for IE on OSX.  Text is somewhat larger.  Under Firefox, the text size looks ok.

[Note: For those of you who are using OSX, please don't tell me to 'update'.  I already have three machines running OSX now.  :>)]

On the other hand, I do feel this should be remedied in subsequent updates to PunBb, only because there will be a lot of folks who are still running OS 9 - and therefore using IE 5.1 as their browser.  I would be willing to give up encreased point size in subsequent browers to accommodate this.

I recognize users could simply change the point size after they install, however this is a large departure from earlier versions of PunBB, so in that case this would be hard to sell new users.

Otherwise, I am tickled to death.  This is *very* kewl - not overlooking all the other details, the new plugin feature is worth the price of admission. :>)

Just my two cents worth.  :>)  Kudos!!

Raybo. Thanks for the kind words. First of all it's great news that it's working in IE5.1Mac at all. Two font-sizes are being used. A size of 10px is being sent to non-IE browsers that support zooming pixel font-sizes. This is the same size as v.1.1.5. A percentage font-size is being sent to IE which now means that text can be zoomed in IEWin. Obviously it is this percentage that causes problems in IE5Mac.  Bascially what we have is an improvement for 60% of users at the expense of 0.6% of users. I could try reworking the font-sizes in the stylesheet to send a different size to IE5Mac. If I come up with something could you test it? One thing I cannot do is differentiate between IE5.1 and IE5.2.

EDIT

Raybo. Could you try this

Go to line 23 of Oxygen.css and substitute the following

/* IEWin Font Size \*/
* HTML BODY {FONT-SIZE: 65%}
/* End of IEWin Font Size */

This should'nt increase the font-size in IE5.2Mac but hopefully it should make IE5.1 and IE5.2 look the same.

EDIT AGAIN

Actaully, it should make both versions of IE look the same as firefox.

Good idea regarding the functions and variables. I'll put it on the list.

Ah, ok. Well, I guess it's matter of taste. I prefer it this way because it makes index.php and viewforum.php look very similar and I believe it simplifies the markup/CSS quite a bit.

But why do you need your co-workers to have moderator rights?

There's no point in being able to do it, but preventing people from doing it will complicate things. I would have to run a query to find out whether the post that is being reported is in a topic that resides in a forum that the reporting user has reading rights to. I don't think the added "functionality" makes up for the added complexity.

Raybo: I edited my earlier post. Did you try the fix?

Rickard: Answers, please !

But if an image is too wide, it will get scrollbars anyway, so I can't really see what the problem is.

Sorry. I missed your post. Yes, you can. I can't promise there won't be any more changes, but if there are, they will be minor. If I make any changes, I'll make a note of them so that the lang packs can be updated with ease.

Here's what I'm talking about:

Ah, I thought you were running 1.2 already.

actually to add to the above...it isn't just output set, navigation links are also set and these change per section.

$output = something
$links = some links
$top = imagelink
..
..

hope that makes more sense.

Ah, thats what i do on my current set-up (ie, include my own php scripts).

What I want to do this time is the other way around..(ie, include punbb inside my own script/template). I have a feeling it may not be possible.

i'll try explain a simpler version (as my head is spinning trying to explain it so don't know how anyone else will figure it out).

Say i have a page consisting of two boxes. left and right.
left contains navigation.
right containts $output.

What I'd like is to fill variable $output with punbb. Ie, what you see on your browser when you look at viewforum for example will be stored in $output.  From that I can fit it easily into my set-up.

basically I'd like to pipe the output from viewforum.php (and all the other scripts) into $output.  (but then i guess you also run into problems with <head> and <body> tags).

ThinK i might have to re-think this.
