"Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life."

Re: PunBB 1.1 - Impressions

Three bugs have surfaced. They really needed to be fixed directly, so I've updated the release. The bugs were:

- The post report function was broken (grrr).
- The delete forum drop down in Admin/Forums had invalid HTML in it which made it look wierd in Opera (reported by chacmool).
- Form e-mail was broken.

If you've already installed 1.1, please download again and update the scripts misc.php and admin_forums.php.

Edit: Added the form e-email bug.

True. I'll fix that in the next version. It's not so important that it needs fixing directly.

And, please speak english :)

Re: PunBB 1.1 - Impressions

In admin_users.php, there's no field to search for MSN Messenger wink

And it would be great if I could filter based on email preference, ie. disabled, but allow form, enabled, etc. That way I could see how many people use the new feature ...

Finally, some are complaining about the lack of HTML in their sigs. (I enabled it in 1.0.1 but it's disabled now and the option's disappeared.) The perfect solution, in my mind, would be to have some kind of "trusted" level, not moderators, but a level to allow HTML in sigs, and possibly in posts as well. Of course, if I could just re-enable HTML in everyone's sigs, that would be a good compromise. wink

Um, for some reason, the edit by line is coming out rather ugly. It looks like normal text, and its one "<br>" from the sig begining. Looks like this

Have you really added the new CSS classes to your custom styles like the install documentation says?

Look at the post by TwaN above. That's the way it should look.

Edit: I'm in a good mood today, so I did it for you. Just add the following to your custom css-file(s):

TABLE.punspacer {
    border: none;
    width: 100%
}
.punedited {
    font-size: 10px;
    font-style: italic;
}
.punheadline {
    font-size: 12px;
    font-weight: bold;
}

Noted. Will fix for next version :)

I can see how that would be interesting in some cases. However, if I add that, I fear I must also add the option to sort by all the other option fields in the profile. I'm a bit sceptical on this.

To enable HTML in signatures, just comment out line 345 in include/parser.php. It should look like this:

$message = pun_htmlspecialchars($message);

However, there is nothing stopping people from doing "evil things" when HTML is enabled. They could for example just enter </table> in their signature and then the whole page layout would be messed up. They could also use the script tag to run JavaScripts and other undesirable things.

Logged in at school today, and first thought was: "Ohh, no! Not the new_post_since_last_visit-fuckup again" untill I remembered that the cookie-code was rewritten.

Much better this way! smile

Re: PunBB 1.1 - Impressions

I have one problem with the new version, I can't read any posts wink The update script worked well and didn't report any errors, but when I try the enter a topic a get the following message:

File: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/forum/viewtopic.php
Line: 77

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch topic info 
Database reported: Unknown column 'subscribers' in 'field list' (Errno: 1054)

That would mean that you are using an old version of viewtopic.php. You must have forgotten it during the update or something.

Hmm, strange. I will try to upload the files once more smile

Edit: It works now, the only file that wasn't updated was viewtopic.php. Seems like I forgot to mark it or something smile

Re: PunBB 1.1 - Impressions

I just hid the user post count in Admin: Options. It said it would affect the user list (see below), but the new user list still shows post counts for each person. It does remove the post count in topic view, however.

Show user post count
Show the number of posts a user has made (affects topic view, profile and userlist).

How about adding an Admin: Statistics page, with pie charts for email preference, style usage, user post counts and maybe graphs for post frequency, user post count vs date registered, instant messenger preference, hourly forum usage and a list of terms people searched for?

I know. It's a lot easier to simply allow some tags ... or to restrict it. I'm thinking of using the avatar scripts and making a variation for signature images, maybe allowing flash to be uploaded as well. All people wanted the HTML for was to post a Flash signature, or to use ASCII art. Creating options for both in Profile and keeping HTML disabled would be more secure. Any plans on doing this, or should I write a mod?

The setting doesn't affect admins and mods. Log out and you will see that it doesn't display it. However, as you pointed out, the post count doesn't show up in viewtopic even as admin, so that's a bug though. I'll fix it.

I'm planning some kind of module system for the admin interface in PunBB 1.2. Once that's in place, making a statistics module should be easy.

What you could do is to add two new BBCode tags: [flash] and [ascii] (or something). It shouldn't be that hard.

I was just about to reply saying I'll just use my own custom [flash] and [ascii] tags, having thought about it further yesterday. I'll start working on it now. Maybe I'll try using the Flash Satay method of embedding Flash. Is PunBB Standards-compliant? (What are web standards and why should I use them?) I've already noticed it's using tables, but it's also using some CSS ...

PunBB 1.1 outputs valid HTML 4.01 Transitional. PunBB 1.2 will output valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
