Topic: punbb 1.2.10 and phpGedView
The version of punbb that is available for use iwth phpGedView is 1.2.4, I believe.
Is there a 1.2.10 version available with the proper hooks into phpGedView?
Re: punbb 1.2.10 and phpGedView
I'm really not sure exactly what changes were made to make PunBB compatible with phpGedView, but I've been considering upgrading the module to 1.2.10 for awhile now. If I do I'll be sure and let you know.

surely its just a case of going through the changes, nothing major has happened since 1.2.4
Re: punbb 1.2.10 and phpGedView
The issue is not that we don't know what changes were made from PunBB 1.2.4 to 1.2.10. We can use the hdiff for that.
The problem that we might face (I haven't checked yet) is knowing what changes were made to make it a module for phpGedView (for example, what if the hdiff says to replace a line of code, but it has been taken out by whoever made the module?). Once again, I'm not all that sure and this is just hypothetical. I'll look into it when I have time, but for now your best bet is to contact whoever made the module.

Re: punbb 1.2.10 and phpGedView
Ok, I looked at functions.php for starters w/ WinMerge (one from the original 1.2.4 and the other from the module) and changes have been made. Some seem just to be to have some URLs and stuff right, but others look a bit more complicated. I'm not sure if these changes will cause conflict or not.
darreldamon, I'll probably try out the hdiff on it sometime somewhat soon, but I can't make any guarantees. Your best bet would probably be to either contact whoever made the module or try the hdiff yourself.

Re: punbb 1.2.10 and phpGedView
The read-me with the 1.2.4 version said that the module was donated by Patrick Kellum. Is he the author of punbb?
I know that one of the apparent changes that was made is that the phpGedView version takes the gedview logon as the logon for punbb, so there is no separate logon - a very nice feature. I don't know what other under-the-cover changes were made. I did try running the 1.2.10 version out of the box hooked up to phpGedView and it bombed. So modifications will be required. I'm just not that skilled at php to know what those changes need to be.

No, the author would be the guy with his name in the copyright (direct gaze down and right)
