PunBB Miniportal v1.2.x (Page 5 of 6)

Connorhd, probably its my setting but i just realized that in the index.php page, the posting time is shown correctly except that its AM/PM is "reversed". Messages posted in the forum (as referenced by forum_id) have the correct time, say 10:00 AM, but this appears as 10:00 PM in the index page. :-) hahaha

My server timezone is set at -04, while i'm +8GMT.

How do i add a "recent post" box to the awsome Miniportal.
I read about extern.php. but idont think my webhost allows it i get allkinds of error msg.

Any workarounds?

i tryed to add a  box in main.tpl and no problem there. but were to add the php command

<? include('http://www.zetterstrom.info/lhs/extern.php?action=new&show=10&fid=16'); ?>

another thing shouldent i see something when i type in
http://www.zetterstrom.info/lhs/extern. … amp;fid=16
in the adress bar in IE?

yeah I found it is using the servers time zone,  I'm checking this miniportal out today

So far it does everything I want, its easy to work with, I can add any blocks I want, by editing main.tpl
And I can disable the lastest forum news generator from the main page, although I kind of like that feature, but to disable, I just have to rem this line: echo pun_news(1, 10, 1);
from index.php

Connorhd dude, keep up the good work

Currently I'm editing it to use includes, for example, include("blocks.php");   instead of editing main.tpl, I will just have to edit blocks.php,  and of course the same with the welcome message in the index.php,   I will just include("news.php"); for example.

wow that was easy its this line

$thisdate = date('l, d F Y', $cur_topic['posted']);

you could try changing it to

$thisdate = format_time($cur_topic['posted'], true);

or

$thisdate = date('l, d F Y', ($cur_topic['posted'] + ($pun_user['timezone'] - $pun_config['o_server_timezone']) * 3600));

i think

In responce to connerhd's post

hmmm, didn't seem to make a differentce, however the 1st code change you suggested changes the formate of the date and time to just numerals, as the last code change you suggested does not,  but for some reason its still server time(my server is an hour ahead, said 9:57am)

However, I did notice that my test post in my forums said the time was 2:57am(I never noticed this before, but this is my first time posting in the forums since the nuke conversion).  This tells me that there is something else going on :S

oh btw, (off topic) but thanks to you making this miniportal, it allowed me to quickly understand punbb's layout,  I like how I can add any function I want to the functions.php, and then call it in any document.   Currently I have created headerinclude.php (same code from your index.php)

<?php

define('PUN_ROOT', './');
define('PUN_QUIET_VISIT', 1);
require PUN_ROOT.'include/common.php';

$page_title = pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_config['o_board_title']);
define('PUN_ALLOW_INDEX', 1);
require PUN_ROOT.'header.php';
require PUN_ROOT.'include/parser.php';
?>
       <div class="block">
           <h2><span>
<?
echo $pagetitle
?>
</span></h2>
           <div class="box">
               <div class="inbox">

and footerinclude.php

               </div>
           </div>
       </div>
<?php
require PUN_ROOT.'footer.php';

This lets me to easily create new "modules" , so for example, one could create a new page called, lol, newpage.php in the root of the punbb installation.

<?
$pagetitle="New Page";
include("headerinclude.php");
echo "here is the main content you would put";
include("footerincluce.php");
?>

I will be adding a opentable and closetable function to the functions.php
or add it to the headerinclude and footerinclude, not sure yet, but this is so that it matches with the rest of the style.
check out a test at http://antix.distortgaming.com/punbb/servers.php

* edited to include div tables to create a block for the new page

I have this setup and working fine on my website, minus news actually showing up. I have specified a new forum id I just made with a test post in it, and nothing shows up. Just the welcome message. Anything I'm not doing right?

I am having a small but annoying issue.  First let me say that I added a small bit to my forum so that if you aren't logged in you get a page telling you that you must log in with a link to log in. 

When you go to the forum the new page displays just fine and if you click on the forum link you go right there, but if you click on the link on the news item to go straight to that topic you are redirected to the page saying that you must log in.  If you log in again you go straight to the news item topic.

After logging in the second time I searched my cookies and see that there is a cookie for username@domain and another cookie for username@www.domain.  Any idea why it is doing this?

If it makes a difference I recently changed the domain name.

connorhd: any tricks to grab the news from more than one forum?

Is it possible to add the latest registerd user in the index.php when using miniportal. If so..please tell me how. I´ve managed to change the code in forum.php file like this:

?>
<div id="main" class="block">
        <div class="box">
        <div class="inbox">
            <ul><?php echo $lang_index['Newest user'] ?>: <a href="profile.php?id=<?php echo $stats['last_user']['id'] ?>"><?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($stats['last_user']['username']) ?></a></ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<?php

But I´m no programmer som i don´t now how to add this in the index.php...anyone?
