Topic: AboutDJ - Dutch dj gear news, review and tutorial site now using PunBB

I finally found PunBB :-D

First i was using myReact, forum software which was to complex and to big, then i found PunBB and it was love at first sight. Clean, easy and open source so i can mod a lot in the source. I realy like PunBB because of it's simplicity, no nonsense but just how forum software supposed to be.

Ok,
Link to my website, http://www.aboutdj.nl
Link to my board, http://www.aboutdj.nl/forum/index.php

Oh and i removed the copyright BUT i made an web badge instead of it, http://www.aboutdj.nl/forum/img/aboutdj/punbb.png
In my opinion that looks better than a line of text under the other badges wink. If anyone also want's to use the badge..... your free to go.

Pardon my french, i'm dutch wink

I like the style. It's not a drastic departure from PunBB's usual look, but it's still something different, and it's nice. smile

I hope you checked to make sure you're allowed to remove the copyright.  I'm pretty sure, unless it's a heavily (custom) modded forum then you must still have the copyright on there.
You could probably do something like:

© Copyright 2002?2005 Rickard Andersson
Powered by PunBB

or
© Copyright 2002?2005 Rickard Andersson Powered by PunBB

or
Powered by PunBB © Copyright 2002?2005 Rickard Andersson

You'll wanna check with rickard unless you have already.

Forums look nice and clean though, good job.

By the way, the copy right is still on the site, i just corrected it -> 

<a href="http://punbb.org" target="_blank"><img src="img/aboutdj/punbb.png" alt="PunBB" title="Powered by PunBB - © Copyright 2002–2005 Rickard Andersson
" border="0" height="15" width="80"/></a>

Now it has an title so when you go over it with your mouse it display's the copyright smile

Biggest modification where the images instead of the text while viewing a topic,
http://www.aboutdj.nl/diversen/punbb_1.jpg http://www.aboutdj.nl/diversen/punbb_2.jpg

But when viewing the users profile i'm using text,

If Rickard isn't happy with my solution i will change it back to the original way, i'll promise wink

I think this is an nice solution for people who don't like the text because of design issues but don't want to remove the copyrights.

It's very simple, make an extra line in your language file, let's say e-mail-img. It would look like this, 

'E-mail-img'            =>    '<img src="../forum/img/aboutdj/email.gif" alt="Email" title="Email"/>',

Then look into the source and find the spot where the image would be seen, replace the normal $lang_common['E-mail'] with $lang_common['E-mail-img']

Simple isn't it wink

Pogenwurst -> You're to fast.... i where editing my post tongue

I think Dr. Jeckyl was asking about the images in viewtopic.php.

I can post my modified files, but there are more than only the image modifications. I also did some mod installing so my files aren't the same as yours if you didn't install the same mods.

I used the famfamfam icons..... damn now everybody knows my secret wink

Re: AboutDJ - Dutch dj gear news, review and tutorial site now using PunBB

Ok a little kick....

I made some new adjustments to the template.

- The image links that i have on the frontpage are now also visible when a user is on the forum
- Header rotation, same as i have on the frontpage

Now let's see what i'm going to *F-word* up now wink Only nasty thing is that with all the graphic stuff it isn't light weight anymore as it was when i installed it tongue

If someone is intrested in the rotating header script let me know and i'll upload it to my server.
