@programming-designs

can you double check your version please.
when i log in, then log of - your version remembers my login password (when I tell chrome or FF - ok that)  but then login wont open from those login boxes on front page. normal login isn't affected but your version /# is causing trouble my end it seems...

can you test yourside aswell? (setting your google chrome or firefox to remember your password then log out and try and log in again)

cool stuff. thanks!

EDIT: your link is going to keep working? I put it up there in initial post and added you to the by list


EDIT  2:  Btw: do you think username should begin on same height indent as all the rest? best way to do that?

yep that worked thanks.

yeah big_smile but i've uploaded the correct file to that forum but it still gives me the  fatal error
once an extension is installed - you can't even get back in to admin to uninstall it

so my question is, is there another way - rather than admin interface - to delete it? (just deleting extension folder doesn't help I believe...

OK thx for info.

BTW: I don't know if you've seen approach  proboards.com has  - but maybe you should think of offering hosted solutions on the future punbb.net package (my current host won't support it - or only for much more money of course big_smile ) - Or at least get a profit sharing deal with a really good hosting company that doesn't muck people around with bandwidth and so forth (and ideally is located on a large bandwidth exchange - like in London Docklands or similiar depending which region customers are).

oh just one thing on the first draft code you'd given me which caused

Fatal error: require() [function.require.php]: Failed opening required '../extensions/login_frontpagelogin.php'

how do I undo that? what do I delete?

http://rapidshare.com/files/191135512/l … ntpage.zip (the extension as discussed - in case u wanna try)

nope... nothing showing on frontpage

....

Question:
if I want it to appear like if I had done this in main.tpl :
<div id="brd-main">
    <!-- forum_main_title -->
HERE
    <!-- forum_crumbs_top -->

what does
str_replace  line need to look like?

btw: why am I not just including login.php ? and instead using login form?

and also
require $ext_info['path'].'login.php';
caused a fatal error on my test board....
how do I rectify a fatal error?

it should be
require $ext_info['path'].'/login.php';    ? that's what I tried and it didn't show anything on my board, but installed fine....

garciat -
does this make sens for the login mod?

Wikipedia Object-orientated-programming wrote:

In the past decade Java has emerged in wide use partially because of its similarity to C and to C++, but perhaps more importantly because of its implementation using a virtual machine that is intended to run code unchanged on many different platforms. This last feature has made it very attractive to larger development shops with heterogeneous environments. Microsoft's .NET initiative has a similar objective and includes/supports several new languages, or variants of older ones with the important caveat that it is, of course, restricted to the Microsoft platform.

Am I right in thinking that this will make it unavailable to Linux, FreeBSD, LightTLD environments?
For a GPL Project? smile

I'm a big fan of openoffice.org, filezilla etc - all open source. And also of course hosting on free software.

You're not worried about that? (much smaller market)

ok cheers smile

I'd put its code in the extension, yes.

btw: seeing as you could probably do this in 2min smile what holds you back? you don't mind giving "support" for how to do things - but don't want to make ext's anymore?

I feel stupid basically copying what I ask you, then slapping it in extension.

You shouldn't give up the ext making! big_smile I'd be lost without your quick feedbacks

Ok cool. Just maybe ext devs should put in their extension post that
a.  they don't mind it being modified
but
b. either want to keep the name and version no's
or
c. are completely giving up support (which I doubt in your case?)

Bit of a difference... Just as a general remark/approach. Technically under GPL I can obviously do what I want. But giving something 2.0 name presumes that no more mods will EVER be made by original ext dev.

PS: I as someone who wants wide choice am happy that Rich is enhancing it....

But you'd put user_avatars.php in extension right?

It's merely a case of upgrading ease. Going outside of the extension system means you have to remember to make sure all of your code is updated, (if necessary), if the base system is updated/upgraded.

Yeah that's why I prefer it all in extension itself.

Good effort!

Just as general approach to basing extension on someone elses who's not keen to add every feature;

Shouldn't one then call it something like Aksimet Enhanced or the other one Aksimet Basic. (Keeping both)

I can imagine this kind of thing can occur on other extensions aswell. (I might not want to add a specific feature, but will maybe later add features again, not minding that someone else produces another one with even more features)

Just wondering:
a. Is it a bad idea to add a completely new main.tpl INSIDE the extension folder or BETTER?
b. Putting user_avatars.php INSIDE the extension (not include/user/) and running it from there is what I meant...

If I have to upload extension and a file it's technically not a pure extension anymore?

Thx.

with a black border box around the resized image

this is quite easy  I will do this in next version

Ok just make sure that it's an option? Because maybe someone has black bg then wants white border - vice versa etc.

Then standard [img.] will be always big, and [slim] will be smaller. Of course I can add option to always display smaller image in [img.] tag (and then turn off [slim] one).

That would be perfect.

yes, a "click anywhere to close" function would be good

I also imagine people using their pc to watch vids (example: youtube) are getting familiar with ESC button? (VLC and Divx Web Player both seem to assume people know or will try that when fullscreen) - Anyone stuck is either going to click mouse or press escape? But a discreet little X on hover probably would be good idea. Or just click makes it go away...

Let's take an example:

Your user_avatars that goes in include/user/user_avatars.php

and requires change to  main.tpl

Would it be possible to put user_avatars.php and also a new main.tpl in an extension - do some stuff like in Reines post in manifest.xml

and like that have a one click install solution??

It's kind of child project of PunBB and it has it's own life which has just started

what is the thinking behind that though?
why do you think people want microsoft.net based stuff?

Personally I think I prefer to see effort put into 1.3.2 - but I guess one doesn't exclude the other...

hm well that was a silly quick screenshot i did of only part of my monitor - what your are showing is actually the entire gif smile it wasn't a print screen - but just portion of my monitor...

ok thx:

a. Key Differences to PunBB 1.3.2.
b. Do the 1.3.2 Extensions work without mod on it?
c. Screenshots maybe?
d. PunBB.net will be the new home of this forum?
e. The  OO stuff cereal is doing/starting - will it work? - being able to include AJAX seems key
f. Does it replace 1.3.2 or will that keep going ahead
