Rickard, I can't figure out the dates some of them were released. When you moved to Textdrive, all of the old release zips have similar dates. If we can fill in the dates, I'll add them to the wiki page.

Check the dates when the release topics were posted in this forum. It should cover most of them.

He may want to speak about the way punbb works to marke topic as read. It's not a bug. Just the way punbb works. If needed, a mod exists.

Done, when I get a chance I could make an html file that could accompany the docs if you'd like.

Re: PunBB 1.2.6

I wonder if it's of any real interest to the average user. Something I feel PunBB is lacking is a complete feature list though. Features may not be PunBB's biggest strenght, but still.

I'll look at a feature list from a comparable forum app and come up with something.

There'd be 2 lists, from a user and admin perspective I would think.

Update: I was thinking of a Beginner's Guide, we touched on this while working on 1.2. You could make it a menu option, similar to how the rules work.

Who cares?
The biggest strength of PunBB in my opinion is that you can add any feature that you like in an hour.
That's the magic of clean code, not the phpBB-help-I-got-lost-featuremania.

Back to the topic:
I think a feature list would also greatly help potential mod developers to see if their issue isn't already covered somehow smile

Second: The biggest part of the work I had when I switched to punBB was to find out if it fulfills at least the basic requirements and I think it would help spreading the word a good deal if everybody knew what PunBB can do.

Re: PunBB 1.2.6

I'm pleased to announce the release of PunBB 1.2.6.

Yeah!  smile  I've been looking forward to this.  I think now I'll go ahead and upgrade from 1.1.5, as well as install one or two new forums that have been in the works for several months.  I really have been looking forward to the 1.2.6 upgrade.  Thanks very much.

I was looking at my review of PunBB: http://hcgtv.com/item/429

Something like this, small and sweet or a little bit more detailed?

Re: PunBB 1.2.6

I just upgraded to 1.2.6 and it went flawless.  I have the attachment mod and the calendar mod and they are still there and working!

Woo hoo. 

Thanks for all the hard work Rickard!

wait, I may have spoken too soon.  Frontpage did give me the following error:

http://worldofglenn.com/images/upgrade_error.JPG

but nothing seemed to be affected in a negative way and the upgrade script ran fine and it reports 1.2.6 verion.  So, no complaints here.

I get this error, and when I put back the un-edited files I still get lots of errors. sad

Yes, it seems so. Don't understand why.
But why doesn't it work when I put back my old files either?

Re: PunBB 1.2.6

Edit:

I deleted the cache, and ran the maintenance-script in the extras-folder, so now I'm logged in as admin and able to search for the solution on my own.
Thanks for the help, I hope I get it working myself now.

Re: PunBB 1.2.6

Is it possible to know how to fix the 2 serious vulnerabilities? Iam in a situation where uppgrading from 1.2.5 isnt possible.

I probably registered before you, sucker!

Re: PunBB 1.2.6

Man, I hoped this day wouldn't come... ><

I have a plethora of mods installed (as you can see for yourself) and don't even know how to start on this..

I'm backing up my databases as we speak (since when I slacked during the 1.2.4-1.2.5 update, my forums got 'sploited and deleted) so that this doesn't happen again.

So, from what I can gather, I'm installing a fresh copy of 1.2.6, installing the mods, and pointing to the old db?

Thanks,

-Tim

Are you running your webserver with register_globals on or off? If they're off, you can pretty much relax. I'd still apply the following changes though: [208], [214] and [211].
