OK just thought I'd let you know the 0.5 release is officaly public.

Yes that's exactly what I mean, thanks for the tip. I'll check it out tonight

Thanks for the help Superfane and Connorhd it's exactly what I need and your discription of how the permissions work Superfane ties together a few things I have found out and I understand how the system works now.

I'll get to work on this as soon as I get home and let you know how it went.

Thanks again
Chris

Can you not discuss this elsewhere? I asked a question that has now been pushed to the previous page which now no one will see. I'm having a job finding out how punBB uses permissions for topics and this off-topic cross talking isn't helping. You don't like what I'm trying to do fine, I understand that but please have the decency to not take over a topic for your own discussions.

Thanks you.

The disadvantage? Tying users down to one forum software. LogicFury can currently interface with phpBB or punBB, the advatage? A bigger userbase resulting in more modifications and a better system.

LogicFury is stand alone software, it will in time come with it's own forums and gallery but will always give users the choice to use what they wish. If you had looked into this more you would see that I am not creating a CMS for punBB but simply one created that can interface with punBB for those that wish to use both.

Of course no one is stopping you from creating your own portal from phpBB .

Hmm ok, can someone enlighten me as to how you set this up in the admin pane or better still where this info is stored in the db. Since the bug reports have stopped coming in (there were not too many anyway) I have had time to work on supporting punBB. Everything is done now and I shall be writing some inscructions for using LogicFury with punBB today. I think LogicFury's pretty close to the 0.5 release but I'll wait a bit longer. I will be releasing a pre-release with punBB support though and it would be really great if someone could test it.

As I'm sure Rickard knows things always work great on your own machine, it's not till others come to try them that you find you have a few bugs to fix

By the way if you want a good example of what this CMS is capable of look at http://lostheaven.co.uk.

Don't worry, PunBB support will be included in the 0.5 Public release. In fact I'm going to be working on the punBB support today.

Your quite right there is a mod for PM support in punBB, I have known about it for sometime, however if I was to make punBB the default I wouldn't be very fair to require everyone to install that mod just to use PM's.

That sounds great, thanks for your offer of help

As for translations I have just realised that I havn't included multiple language support, that's going to be a pain to add

OK Rickard

Yeah the forum is already implmented, I just have to convert a few things that are phpBB specific at the moment. If there's enough demand for this I'll put it at the top of my todo list as at the moment I'm concentrating on other things like a survey module.

Glad you like though .

I don't suppose anyone is interested in making a punBB sytle skin for it? I guess I could do it but I really should be working on the code not playing with themes .

If anyone want's a go with it just ask and I'll send you a copy.

Like I said, it came down to one thing PunBB's lack of PM system.

A PM system could be supported in such a way that it has no impact in the forums speed and could be disabled by those who don't want it. All 0.1% of you Anyway that's another topic, one that has been discussed and will continue to be discussed here. I'm just explaining why it's not the default forum.

However, I like PunBB PM system or no PM system and will continue to support it with my CMS.

OK Connorhd then we have reached an agreement. I was under the impression your were against the whole PM idea but now I understand your only aginst it being built-in and that's fair enough, afterall if you have no use for a PM system why would you want it built in?

I like this sound of this mod system being developed that allows simple installtion of mods. My vision of PunBB in the future is a customisable forum. You make the package you want via chosing options you want when you download it. Now that would be something!

That's the way I'd like to see PunBB swing anyway. Choice is a good thing and you can never have too much of it

Connorhd I must say your a bit reluctant to consider other's opinions. A good comment is one that address's the issue from both points of view.

Bwongars point is perfectly valid and I can't really add much to it. Users could use email Connerhd but given the option they prefer PM's.

PM's are not a replacement for emails and vice vesa
