PunBB News (Page 1 of 2)

very nice modification this same modification is used over at stealingyour.info. Im currently using this mod at my forums. For those of you who want an idea of what it looks like can check it out at my forums. www.fatalgamers.org

well i wanted to get away from the typical nuke feel of a frontpage or a cms
that is why im working my punbb into a css template.
same old punbb as the backbone. but....
totally different look ..

good work!

i'd really love to use this mod, but it doesn't work for me..

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in D:\temp\_web\punbb\index.php on line 182

any idea?

thx in advance

i just copied a few lines..hehe...

<?php

define('PUN_ROOT', './');

    // Fetch users online info and generate strings for output
    $num_guests = 0;
    $users = array();
    $result = $db->query('SELECT user_id, ident FROM '.$db->prefix.'online WHERE idle=0 ORDER BY ident', true) or error('Unable to fetch online list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

    while ($pun_user_online = $db->fetch_assoc($result))
    {
        if ($pun_user_online['user_id'] > 1)
            $users[] = "\n\t\t\t\t".'<dd><a href="profile.php?id='.$pun_user_online['user_id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_user_online['ident']).'</a>';

Then you need to add this code to where you want the topics posted

<p class="page_title"><div class="blockform" >
        <p class="page_title">Latest News</p><p></p>

                    if ($db->num_rows($result))
                    {
                            while($cur_post = $db->fetch_assoc($result))
                            {

part of it
i got it posted on my forum

Thats because you have to add it to: lang/YOURLANGUAGE/common.php

Ugh...I uploaded the header.php on accident before I saved the original header.php...

How can I restore my original header.php so it will display my board description properly again?

hhmm...frustrating to say the least. Specially since I have already modded the header.php once or twice.

Anyone have any ideas?

Will that work?  I wasn't sure...I will need to make two changes to it for my mods...but I'll try that after I get my boys to bed.  Thanks...I'll let you know if it worked.

Thanks...worked like a charm.

So are there any guides or helpful things someone could point me too if I wanted to add more boxes?  I've looked at some of the other miniportal systems and I like them, but they have more options for more boxes and content/information to display on the portal page. I really like how easy this one is to setup and get going...but I wish there were more options or something to code in.
