Hello,

My client is using PunBB on her website and the forums are on the home page.  She wants to temporarily take them down for a few months and have the ability to restore everything when she's ready to resume.  I see that I could put the forums in Maintenance mode, but the warning about not logging out tells me that's not the best way to do it. 

I've searched these forums and I must not be using the right terms because I can't seem to find anything about it.  So, can anyone suggest the best way to do this?  Basically, she wants a message to be displayed that the forums are down for now whenever someone visits the url.

Thanks!

As far as the "Copyright" I feel that you are extremely generous in allowing it to be removed, it is a very small price to pay for a quality software program such as PunBB. If someone feels they have to remove the copyright then I feel they should PAY for that privilege. I personally have "dimmed" (#C0C0C0) the copyright information, however it is still visible and clickable (http://iwcomm.com/forums/) but I would not think of removing the credit for someone else's hard work!

I like this idea and am using it on my client's forum.  My only problem is that I cannot figure out how to make the link for PunBB dim. 

I created this CSS:

.copy {
color: #b4b4b4;
text-align: right;
}

.copy a:link, .copy a:visited {
color: #b4b4b4;
text-decoration: none;
}

.copy a:focus, .copy a:hover, .copy a:active {
color: #b4b4b4;
text-decoration: none;
}


And I placed this in the footer.php:

<p class="copy">Powered by <a class="copy" href="http://www.punbb.org/">PunBB</a> ....

And the link is still the default blue.

Quick question....so, basically, this is just a way to add divs to the template?  And it's only editable through the php page and not the Admin?

I have two more questions. 

1.  Is it possible to change the nav links so that instead of Index it says Home?  If so, which file would I need to edit?

2.  Is it possible to remove the User List from the nav links?  If so, which file?  My client wishes not to have a User List that is searchable.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.  I'll give it a shot.  So, are you saying I didn't need to edit all those files that the instructions for the mod had me do?

Thanks so much for your reply.  I now have it installed (I think), but I don't see where to make it work.  How do I activate it?  (sorry for such newbie questions)

Hello,

I've been searching all through the forums to try to figure this out, but I'm still confused.  Can anyone help me?


http://www.punres.org/desc.php?pid=57  I'm looking at this mod because I need a way for my client to have an extra box at the top in which she can put advertisements.  I want something like what I see when clicking on this particular link.  Is this the appropriate mod to use?  If not, what's a better one?

Of course, I don't think this one will work for me anyway will it?  I get this when I run install_mod.php:

You are running a version of PunBB (1.2.15) that this mod does not support. This mod supports PunBB versions: 1.2.3, 1.2.4

Help?

Hello,

I've searched the forums and found that others have had this problem, but I've not really seen a solution yet.  So, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out.

thehoo pon opon oforum .com/index.php

The install went smoothly.  I copied/pasted the config.php information.  The forums are located in the root of the site.  I set the permissions for the cache and avatar folders.  So, why do I have all blank pages?

Help!

Thanks for your replies.  I needed to add a clear: both; to the #punwrap since my logo and navigation are both floated.

Hello,

I am trying to customize the top of the forums to match the rest of the website.  I am not getting the results I want.  The CSS and HTML both validate correctly, so I don't know what's causing the problem.  Can anyone take a look?  TIA!

http://www.fortheloveoflife.org/forums/  And obviously, if you click any of my red links at the top, you'll see the look I'm going after.  I'm not worried about the red bar or org address at the moment.  Just the logo and the navigation.

Again, TIA!

Thanks.  I found a thread on these forums that suggested that or to change the extension of the files.  I changed the extensions so I wouldn't need to upload later if I changed my mind.

I love punBB!

Just an update....I figured out the color issues.

NEVERMIND ON THIS QUESTION...I FOUND THE ANSWER  (My only last question is about whether I can disable members' ability to change styles on their view....)

Thanks again!

Uh oh....I should have paid more attention.  I now realize that I should have put the contents of the upload folder right into the community directory.  Amazing what a night's sleep will do for your concentration.  I had been fiddling with it a lot last night and then posted this first thing this morning.  So, my question now is...can I just move the files around or should I start over so the admin can have full functionality?

Hello,

I'm brand new to installing and configuring message boards.  I tried a couple others before I found punBB.  I am so glad I found it!  It's been super easy to figure out.  I have everything working perfectly, however, I'm not happy with the path needed to get to my boards.  Since the index.php was in the upload folder to begin with, I left it there for lack of a better idea.  Now I know I want the forums to come up directly under /community and not /community/upload/index.php.  Am I making sense?  So, can I pull it out of the upload folder?  And if I do, what does that do to the administration of the board?  Will I have to edit something so the admin can make adjustments to the board?

I have three more questions that aren't really problems, but I thought since I was already here....  wink

1.  I don't see where I can change the color of the new post icon.  I'm using the Oxygen style.

2.  I have changed the color scheme on the Oxygen style and I don't see where to change the color of the text in the text area.  Like where it says, "Write your message and submit".

3.  In the Admin section, is there a way to set things so that members cannot choose other styles for the boards?  I want everyone to view it the way I have it all the time....

Thanks for any help you might be able to offer!
