Do other users have the issue?

Please, send us your forum URL: http://punbb.informer.com/bugreport.php

Use the uninstall section of pun_pm as an example.

Yes, it's a known issue. This task is a bit more complicated than it seems at first glance. We have to do something in the next major version of pun_pm.

The issue with utf-8 chars is still here. Maybe it causes the following error:

I obtained it while restoring from a backup. And restoring actually don't work.

I think you have to convert some entities. Try to set the encoding in htmlentities(). And your function xml2array() seems to be UTF-8 incompatible. Why not to use the function xml_to_array()?

Also there can be issues with the "backups" directory. Shared hostings have PHP safe mode turned on, and users will have to set permissions for this directory manually. Why not to store backups in the "cache" directory? What do you think about this?

I meant just what you have done

Sorry, I can't help you. Maybe someone else wants.

What about 46 line?

Maybe there is something suspicious in the web server error log?

I've at last added this bug to the list of bugs. Please, write PHP and MySQL versions installed on your server where the issue takes place.

Maybe Administration » Management » Backup?

By FTP or SSH to a directory, for example. The extension could write backups in the same direcrory. In this case, for example, admin can make a db-snapshot before updating forum and if something has gone wrong he can simply restore the database to the shapshot without uploading/downloading.

The best way is to support both uploading and restoring from a file on server.

Admin can make a full backup on a server 1 and after transferring files one can restore the whole forum on a server 2 with all extensions without installing extensions again.

You have to escape the values. I'm afraid I can't say which way is the best. Try to google or to make some experiments

My test installation has no prefix, and 'extensions' and 'extension_hooks' were not checked.

There are some problems with encodings. For example, the title of my forum is "Название форума", and it's become into

            <row_3>
                <conf_name>o_board_title</conf_name>
                <conf_value>&ETH;ќ&ETH;&deg;&ETH;&middot;&ETH;&sup2;&ETH;&deg;&ETH;&frac12;&ETH;&cedil;&ETH;&micro; &Ntilde;„&ETH;&frac34;&Ntilde;Ђ&Ntilde;ѓ&ETH;&frac14;&ETH;&deg;</conf_value>
            </row_3>

When I tried to recover the forum from the file obtained before, it displayed the following error:

Seems like you have selected a wrong charset while upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3.

Is these characters displayed correct in messages written after the upgrade?

If you have backups you can try to restore 1.2 and to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 again.

Usually users can't edit titles.

It's a per-group setting called "Allow users to set their own user titles". Go to the Administration » Users » Groups page and press the "Edit this group" link next to a group you want to edit.
