Sorry, I don't know of any links, BUT I learned extension coding with a blank extension template because it's self-explaining. Here you go:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE extension SYSTEM "ext-1.0.dtd">

<extension engine="1.0">
    <id>Same as folder's name I.e.: pun_pm</id>
    <title>Extension name</title>
    <version>Extension version</version>
    <description>Extension description</description>
    <author>Your name</author>
    
    <minversion>1.3</minversion>
    <maxtestedon>1.3</maxtestedon>
    
    <install>
        <![CDATA[
//Code to run when installing
        ]]>
    </install>
    
    <uninstall>
        <![CDATA[
//Code to run when uninstalling
        ]]>
    </uninstall>
    
    <hooks>
        <hook id="hook_name">
            <![CDATA[
//Code to run when forum script reaches hook
            ]]>
        </hook>
    </hooks>
</extension>

I'm supposing most people don't go around making every person an admin.

Anyways, even if I did use htmlentities(), this "bad" admin could add any type of JS script using the "Add your own links to the main navigation menu" list. Ex:

0 = <script type="text/javascript">alert('haha');</script>

As you can see, both the dev team and I think that it's your responsibility that your admins behave well.

1.- What is BBC?
2.- You mean category-based RSS feeds? Ex. News, 1.3 Core Talk, etc. If so, they are already available.

How does vB's nav bar look like? Link or screenshot, please?

*Import news from specific forum
*Advertisement space

Hope someone can help me....:)

If someone else has some suggestions post them underneath..........

I could work on one after I'm back from my trip. Possibly next Monday.

There's a "Subscribe to this topic" link on the blue bar on top.

I could make an extension (with turn on/off), or you could just add this to Line 23 on 'header.php':

if($forum_user['is_guest']) header("Location: ".forum_link($forum_url['login']));

What's that? Link please smile

Now, why would an ADMIN exploit this vulnerability? After all, this extension's configuration can only be edited by admins.

Also, there's a message saying:

Please, don't use any HTML, BBCode or harmful characters.

on the configuration page, so I'm not really worried about this.

Thanks anyways, I appreciate your concern.

So, you want to force all guests to login or register?

Instead of making an extension just to show the las 20 topics, you could make a cool portal (I don't know what to call it). Something like http://ubuntuforums.org/.

I just tried it, and it looks like it was made on 1920, it is soooo Web0.1alpha.

I don't see why people use it. SMF is also very Web1.0.

I kinda like phpBB, but it's way too much configuration and pictures.

That's why I love PunBB. It's simple and fast.

If you want more functions or have any tips, let me know.

SpinkBB-generated styles are only for PunBB 1.2.

Yeah, an "Allow only this..." option/parameter would help a lot of people.

Maybe when they're getting spammed by other users. But, instead, you could make a blacklist to block certain users or all users .

Maybe this could be added to a new version? Another cool idea would be to add a blacklist (to block spammers or annoying people).

Use pun_antispam from http://punbb.informer.com/extensions/

The fact it says "v1.2" doesn't mean it's for PunBB 1.2. After all, it's on the "PunBB 1.3 official extensions" list, isn't it?

I'm sorry, I don't get it.

PunBB version? Where did you get the script from?

Try installing a new forum from a fresh download (don't delete your current forum). Then see if that happens on the new forum.

Thanks, how do you go about installing this add-on

Do you just upload them to the server, or is there a process I should follow.  couldn't see anything on the extension forum.

  1. Download the file

  2. Unzip the file into your extensions folder (you should see the extension's folder there)

  3. Go to Administration > Extensions

  4. Install the extension

  5. Enjoy smile
