Search options (Page 5 of 5)

Hi,

I've made myself a PMS and I wonder if anyone would like to comment my code and give suggestions to improve it (sorry for the Swedish text (if you can't understand it) that can be found on some places)? There are alot of queries... when I have 30 messages (maximum) in my "sent sessages" page there are 41 queries to be executed...
Will it work in punbb 1.2?

I haven't made a function so you can edit your messages in the outbox yet...

I have found the 6 first suggestions very handy myself...

- Change the admmod so admins can have private forums that moderators (and the other guests) cannot see.
- There's a bug in the search page so everyone can view every forums in the dropdown list (you have written $extra instead of $extra_sql in the SQL almost at the bottom of the page...
- Make 2 checkboxes in the post.php file so admins and moderators can post new topics that are sticky and/or closed from the beginning (nice to have if you just want to make a statement and don't want any replys..)
- Change so guests can post messages without entering an email address! If they don't want to write their own email they will write something like: "olle@olle.se" anyway...
- Add a column in the profile database where members can write more information about themselves. And add it on the profile page...
- in admin_forums.php: delete the current radiobutton and add those three: "only admins", "Only admins and moderators" and "For all" (so admins can have their own forums that moderators cannot see or post in..). Add a new checkbox "Allow guests to post in this forum", so you can select which forums guests shall be able to post in and which not.
- Groups would be really nice to have (but you know this already..)!
- A mail system?
- An avatar gallery (if the forum administrator wants it).

Have you found any good way to solve the "new message"-icon problem? So they don't show un-read when you have read them. I solved it myself by adding a column to the user table and there store all read messages topic_id and id. Or, not all of them. I made the column empty every time the user logged in and every time the Visit timeout had gone out. I stored the topic_id and id as this: "topic_id:id" ex: "16:32" and when I was viewing the index or the forums I checked if the posts that had a later last-posed-time than my last-visit-time was in that column, if they weren?t; it had new posts for me. I hade to add 4-5 more database connections though =/

Feel free to comment my suggestions and ask if there's something you don't understand. The six first things isn't that hard to do, I have done them myself on my current punBB forum. The last three things is quite bigger though

It would be nice if you could say if you will add any of these features or if I have to mod them again...

btw. when do you think the new version will be up? whithin a month?
