MattF, I'll look more into your css errors. Thanks for reporting. It seems you are running firefox debugger.

hcgtv, thank you for that plugin. But the really hard part in it, is to figure out what forum number you want all the posts to be posted. Since it counts from the first forum created till the last one, not as they look like in the forum. It would be nice also to have a configuration for CMS categories such that category "software" should be posted in punbb in forum number "#" and so on.

This website consists of a Blog (main index page) running CMS Nucleus and a Forum. The Blog has been running since half of July and the Forum has been up for only 1 month. The site has never been publicated as I've been setting it up and adding nice and interesting topics for users to use, read, share ideas and make them feel comfortable. The Blog as you can see is more of Open Source Discussions (but not necessaraly) and interesting ideas. A user can create an account to be able to comment on posts preventing him filling out a form to post it, he could also ask for a permission to post over the Blog (which I don't mind at all). The Forum is a support forum for all users and under none specific OS. I'm recruiting a forum team and users, so everyone is welcome to join and enjoy our ride.

Forum's Direct URL: http://compengi.homelinux.org/forum/

My problem is fixed now. Many thanks to MattF. I'm just commenting here for other people that could have some similar issues and following up with this post.

Edit: One thing I would suggest checking with the plugin is for php short tags, i.e: <? instead of <?php. You may not have those enabled on the server, and I seem to recall the mod was a sod for those everywhere, unless they were changed in the last update.

It was short_open_tag set to Off by default which is responsible for "<?" support. And it's the single short tag in the plugin. Now my issue is fixed and the plugin configure section works fine.

A great news. Then, I would wait for your new final release.

Smartys, I think the behaviour you have described earlier is what this forum uses. In my opinion, it's even better to ask the user to set a password to be able to login from initial registration process and email verification one, since some users after registration forget to change their random passwords generated then keep hitting the administrative mailing list and keep asking why my password is wrong. If you could please describe in details of what to do, I would very appreciate that.

MattF, you finally made it, Thank You. It was short_open_tag set to Off by default which is responsible for "<?" support. And it's the single short tag in the plugin.

I would like to thank also the people that tried to help me out and all your team for it's great support. Thank You.

The download link doesn't work, seems the server is down, which is a pity. But yeah, it's something near that. I think this mod specifically called "Modrewrite". I've read a bit about it on the forums, but setting it up would cause me to edit every link on the forum manually (as far as some say), and it's not practical.

I'm not sure what's going on, either it's some missing load module in Apache or some miss compatibility of some kind of Punbb's function under new Apache. Before heading to this forum and seaking for help, I had reinstalled the plugin for 10 times with different ways, even I thought of some folder permissions not correctly set or some owner problems, but none worked. Currently, I won't try to re-install Apache server as "Garciat" had suggested, since it took me a bit till I figured out how to configure the default Apache's setup, after switching from Ubuntu to Arch changed every single setup I used to do. I would try to re-install all this once again after your next Punbb final stable release. Though, if someone could tell me how to change the default number of allowed saved messages per each user in his inbox for this plugin manually, I would very appriciate it. Noting that the plugin works well and only the plugin's configuration section is messed up.

I've been searching over google, under your wiki and forum pages but couldn't find any guide of how to change the forum's URL behaviour from viewtopic.php?id= to /topic, /new etc.. I hope someone around here knows.

die('test'); doesn't help when inserting it between the script's code. I tried to insert it at the beginning of the code, which executed nothing.

There should be a plugin which you can access through the admin section.

Well.. my problem is in this section. When I try to enter that plugin (Private Message Mode) listed in admin's area, I get a white page.

Anyone could give me another advice how to backtrace it? or atleast if nothing further than this could be done, could tell me how to change the number of default allowed messages in inbox per user?

I checked include/common.php, i got error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); already set, I tried setting it to error_reporting(E_ALL); nothing was in the error_log. in php.ini I got also error_reporting  =  E_ALL set and also I tried to set it to error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE, eventually nothing. So I think that the error logging environment is set, but nothing shows. Something weird is there.

I was using Apache2 on Ubuntu Gnome environment and had PunBB 1.2.20 installed. I got several plugins running on that webserver quite smoothly without any problems. Now I switched to Archlinux and installed Apache httpd. I re-installed the same software (PunBB 1.2.20) without any problems, but I'm experiencing problems with `Private Message Mode` plugin. I followed the same procedures I did before on Ubuntu distro and loaded the plugin. The plugin works fine, but when I would try to go to Administration's tab and try to enter it's configuration section, I would end up in a white screen. I checked the httpd error logs, nothing is there. Any ideas of what specific configuration or modules I would require to load for the httpd server?

I'm currently running Apache (httpd) on Archlinux. I tried to install this plugin, and everthing works great. But when I go to administration and click on "Privacy messaging" to adjust options, I get a white page. Which is very wierd. I never experienced this on Ubuntu.
