Re: How many people are viewing topic feature (3 replies, posted in Feature requests)
But when ur the admin and you wanna see how's your forum health, and what categories are most viewed, you could do some marketing optimization on the most viewed categories and make the ROI higher!
Assuming you just need it for what you're talking about, why not simply use something to parse Apache's log files? Being able to see the number of people viewing a topic is pretty useless if you can't do things like see how that changes over time or being able to be consistant with the times you check it at.
Not everyone runs 66mhz servers
And not everyone wants a feature like this. PunBB is meant to be lightweight.
Number of people viewing a topic is a vanity feature. I don't think it adds to your forum at all and it impacts performance. In other words, probably not going to become a feature

You manually updated it, which didn't delete the config cache file
Check out the cache folder, delete the cache_config.php file

Re: Users with invalid e-mails register despite Verify registration: Yes (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 bug reports)
You can't really verify the email address themselves, unless you have set up your SMTP server insecurely
That's not true
http://coveryourasp.com/ValidateEmail.asp (see #3, I don't have a PHP example on hand)
As long as the SMTP server is set up to only respond positively for valid email addresses (which is how it should be) then the email address will be valid

Re: Firefox problems..and a few other things.. (24 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I read his post, if you read mine, I asked if there was a way I can fix it " myself "
Failing that I think you can force the correct mime type with an .htaccess file using AddType text/css .css

Re: Firefox problems..and a few other things.. (24 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
If it was my server, why would it work with IE, Opera, etc..but not with Firefox?
Because, as he said, Firefox is in standards compliance mode, which means it only accepts properly served stylesheets, which your server doesn't give (which it should).
Anyway that I can fix it myself in an easy way? thx for your help
Looks back at Paul's post
You need to get your hosting company to configure their servers properly. Failing that I think you can force the correct mime type with an .htaccess file using AddType text/css .css

Re: PunBB 1.2.11 (71 replies, posted in News)
The language isn't really that important, the chances of 2 users registering with the same IP address within the space of an hour is extremely slim.
Registering legitimately
And it does matter if they don't speak English

Re: get_remote_address() - incorrectly detecting users IP address (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 bug reports)
OK fair enough.
I don't know how many ISP's use transparent proxies throughout the world, but for any that do, this could cause a problem ( I know there's at least several million people in the UK who are proxied this way).
Cheers
That's true, but relying solely on it is the wrong thing to do
Like I said, if it becomes enough of an issue for someone, I'm sure a mod can be written to store both IPs

Re: get_remote_address() - incorrectly detecting users IP address (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 bug reports)
It was removed because it is simple for, say, a hacker to spoof his IP address using X_FORWARDED_FOR. Thus, it shouldn't be relied upon. You can, of course, write a mod to store both IPs
But get_remote_address() is detecting IPs just fine
And as for the exact change:

Re: User ban bug (9 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
What you have to do is put an if statement around this:
// Check if current user is banned
check_bans();
So that it isn't checked if the user isn't in the forum

Re: Wamp Help Please (9 replies, posted in General discussion)
I haven't used WAMP before, but this holds for Apache/PHP/MySQL set up on a Windows comp regularly
1. Check out httpd.conf, DirectoryIndex. Mine is currently:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
2. I think that's a phpMyAdmin setting. As an alternative, look into password protecting things with .htaccess
3. See above
4. I'd do a test with something (a simple Deny from all file should do it) and see if it works. If it doesn't, you'll have to play around in httpd.conf to enable it

No.
No it isn't.

(I would do the real link, but the site seems down)
Title isn't a real meta tag
Description is auto-generated by the search engine (like here).
Keywords are mostly ignored.
So yes, while in some cases you might want to put description in, it is NOT a necessary feature. SEO features are not necessary. Helpful in some cases, maybe, but not everyone wants them.

METAS are very importants (indispensables), it will be a great idea to include this and PunnBB will be PERFECT!
Including RSS in the meta is important too, like on my forum...
Maybe for you, but it isn't necessary or even very desirable for a decent number of people.
If you need to do it, then just edit the templates.

Re: mysql error redirect? (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
http://dev.punbb.org/file/trunk/upload/ … /mysql.php
Each DB type (MySQL, MySQLi, PostgreSQL, and SQLite) has its own abstraction layer. Just edit the file for the one you're using (the function is DBLayer) to add the redirect in (oh, and to note, after doing Location: headers you should use exit or the script will continue executing without the user seeing the output).
So, as an example for MySQL, the new function would be
function DBLayer($db_host, $db_username, $db_password, $db_name, $db_prefix, $p_connect)
{
$this->prefix = $db_prefix;
if ($p_connect)
$this->link_id = @mysql_pconnect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password);
else
$this->link_id = @mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password);
if ($this->link_id)
{
if (@mysql_select_db($db_name, $this->link_id))
return $this->link_id;
else
{
header("Location: Forum_error.html");
exit;
}
}
else
{
header("Location: Forum_error.html");
exit;
}
}
