Not knocking punBB, but I was looking at http://www.christianforums.com/ which uses vBulletin, and the subforums they've got looks ok, and doesn't clutter up the screen... (well the all the other sidebar junk does, but i'm just talking about the forums bit)

What do you think?

Thanks Rickard, now that I look at it, I think so too... I might try combining some of the left hand forums.

hcgtv that sounds like alexkingorg's forums... i think if I make them in one column, the page would be too long to scroll down...


[feature request]
Hey Rickard, how about sub-forums?  Then I could have one manufacturer specific forum, and all the different manufacturers as sub-forums?

Hey, what do you think of the two column layout?

I had to combine the last post and moderator columns with the forum column so it wouldn't be too squashy.


Do you think it's too cluttered?

do you feel like packaging this up as a favor? wink
oh how i would be so grateful for that.

Not sure how to package it up though...

If anyone wants, I can supply the modified files... should be able to copy over the top of a fresh install right? big_smile

Yeah I hacked it and took out some unneeded stuff... like a lot big_smile  i like it over post enhancer coz it uses text buttons instead of graphics... loads much quicker.

So who's currently got the most modded punbb board?  List your mods...

Oooh... perhaps... where do I put that?  On the parent (punbb) or on the new window (spellcheck.net) ?

Hey just wondering if anyone with javascript expertise can help -- I've made the spellcheck function so that some javascript code:

- grabs the message text in the form
- opens a new window and posts it to spellcheck.net.
- Spellcheck.net then spell checks the text as the picture above. 
- When the Apply Changes button is pressed, it Spellcheck.net returns a text box containing the spelling corrected text.
- Currently user has to copy the text and manually paste it back into punbb.

Now, the big question - how do I get the text from that window back to the punbb messagebox automatically (e.g. say if button is pressed or window is closed)?  Note that I'm just piggybacking the spellcheck.net service - I don't have access to their code or can't modify their form in any way.

Any fancy ideas? big_smile

hehe, usually the converter is provided by the forum you are attempting to move to... no sense making a converter so that people can give up using your software... big_smile

Ok you're right.  How about "How do I shoot a missile at vBulletin 3?"

Hehe...

Maybe he means:

Hey, I like what you've done with yours better!  Care to post some code?

Hi,

I thought spell checking might be a nice thing to have... I've hacked something together  on my site.

I still need to tidy it up a little before I release it... (or you could just view the source code and reverse engineer - pretty easy to do).


Let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Julian

Sure... here's the bottom bit.

I'd still like to see it more like viewforum.php though... gotta figure out what Rickard's code is doing.. smile

$ak_limit = 25; // change this to the number of active topics you want to display.

$latest = $db->query('SELECT t.id, t.poster, t.subject, t.posted, t.last_post, t.last_poster, t.num_replies, f.id 
AS fid, f.forum_name 
FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics 
AS t INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums 
AS f 
ON t.forum_id=f.id 
WHERE t.moved_to IS NULL 
AND f.admmod_only=0 
ORDER BY last_post 
DESC LIMIT '.$ak_limit);

?>
<table class="punmain" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4">
    <tr>
        <td class="puncon3" colspan="6" id="latest">Active Topics</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="punhead">
        <td class="punhead"><?php echo $lang_common['Topic'] ?></td>
        <td class="punhead" style="width: 5%; white-space: nowrap">Replies</td>    
        <td class="punhead" style="width: 25%; white-space: nowrap">Forum</td>
        <td class="punhead" style="width: 14%; white-space: nowrap">Last Poster</td>
        <td class="punhead" style="width: 14%; white-space: nowrap"><?php echo $lang_common['Last post'] ?></td>
    </tr>
<?php
while ($ak_post = $db->fetch_assoc($ak_latest)) {

    $subject_new_posts = '[ <a href="viewtopic.php?id='.$ak_post['id'].'&action=new" title="'.$lang_common['New posts info'].'">'.$lang_common['New posts'].'</a> ]';

?>
    <tr class="puntopic">
        <td class="puncon1"><a href="viewtopic.php?id=<?php echo $ak_post['id'] ?>"><?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($ak_post['subject']) ?></a> <?php echo $subject_new_posts; ?></td>
        <td class="puncon2"><?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($ak_post['num_replies']) ?></td>
        <td class="puncon1"><?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($ak_post['forum_name']) ?></td>
        <td class="puncon2"><?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($ak_post['last_poster']) ?></td>
        <td class="puncon1" style="white-space: nowrap"><?php echo format_time($ak_post['last_post']) ?></td>
    </tr>
<?php
}
?>

It would be good if you could make the layout like viewforum.php, esp. with the dot and the new icon...

I've extended the mod a bit on my site but will need to play around a bit more...

Anything is possible, my friend smile

Feel free to modify it to suit your needs.  I'm using a modified version on my front page.  Just change the links in externnews.php (around line 262...)

Um... just copy the file into your punbb folder.  Use it the same way as if you were using extern.php...

Yup, that's the one, Rickard.

The features I find interesting / useful:
- Private messaging
- BBcode buttons
- Threaded view (good for very long discussions)
- Integrated Portal
- Slightly more powerful search
- More detailed stats (for board, topics, users)
- Editing of templates through control panel

I like how they're all built in from the start, and as you can see, their "mods" section of the community forums has very little in it.

Other things like star thingies, etc. are nice to have but as you say, non essential.

Haven't used vBulletin, IPS for a bit only so yeah.
