Andy,

At present, any plugins that may or may not work with 1.3, are not supported.

Many plugins will be rewritten to the new extension system, give it some time, but we'll all arrive there soon enough.

I commented on that thread, now I remember. What a difference a couple of months make, now I can use the script. Thanks.

PS,

I'm running your mod on PunBB 1.2.14, it's catching posts just fine, I'm loving the convenience since it appears that spammers wait till I go to bed to unleash their bots.

I have one problem, when I click the Not Spam button on a flagged post, it will return the post to the board but I get an error that it can't unban the user.

Thanks.

I use magpie to fetch, it parses all kind of popular feeds like RSS and atom. Then i use punbb as the aggregator itself.  I think punbb is easily shapeable and felxible... you can hack viewforum.php to show a small description of every post for example. Then use viewtopic to allow post discussion.

Hey, this would make a nice mod that I could use on one of my boards and it would make a nice extension looking towards 1.3.

I just worry that with with greater code complexity of 1.3 (and more cooks) the probability of bugs/vulns in the punBB 'core' inevitably goes up.

Don't worry, trust me, you can eat off the kitchen floor wink

I never had any issues installing PunBB on Windows...

I have it working just fine on XAMPP, both 1.2.14 and 1.3 without any issues to report.

sirena,

Being part of the project, I'm privy to the conversations the developers have, and I can say with certainty that they know their stuff. PunBB 1.3 will have it's bumps, no doubt, but you can rest assured that they will get ironed out very quickly.

munwin,

A Post moderation queue is being worked on for PunBB 1.3.

For now, you can try out the Akismet mod:

flx,

How did you generate the html files, wget mirror or on the fly? What version of Ubuntu are you running?

I'm planning on putting up some screen shots of the 1.3 backend, I was just waiting for some things to finalize.

I haven't wrote PHP for several years, and I'm no coder.

I'm more of a PHP hacker myself and it helps to have a home development environment to play with.

SimplePie shields you away from a lot of the feed complexity and it's very easy to hack the plugin they provide. I now use the Textpattern/SimplePie combo on 5 of my sites and I'm getting better at it every time. I understand the plugin by now and if you take out a lot of the if conditions, like it checks if you want a date or a short description, etc., then it becomes very easy to put your output code in the for loop.

As for PHP feed classes, I've tested all of them, and I like SimplePie's robustness. Ryan and Geoffrey are very active on SVN and continue to enhance their code, the commits are an indication to how difficult it is to keep up with all the feed formats.

I did some searching around but never found anything I cared for out of the box.

What I plan on doing is using Textpattern and SimplePie together to create a Planet site for aggregated blog posts, I already have a domain at the ready. With the proper cron jobs and the new caching mechanism in SimplePie, it's very doable.

zaher, for the net, I like PHP and for the desktop, I like XUL after using Komodo for the last year.

Maybe a few commonly used extensions could be "officially supported" now that the dev team has such an abundance of members?

I believe that's the plan, I just don't know at this point which plugins will become official extensions.

quaker, one of your builds had ImageMagick in it, but it was a rather old version.

Do you or does anybody know of a zipped based version of the latest build? Looking towards portability, I don't want to run an installer.

Thanks.

I've seen some channel9 videos featuring Anders and he sure seems to know what he's talking about.

Well he was the brainchild behind Delphi, very smart individual. Delphi kind of died after he left, not because of a talent drain, just because those in the know, knew that M$ was going to squash another promising technology.

A Textpattern user also, nice.

One suggestion, you should put up an About page, it took me a while to figure out what the project was about.

So you're hanging with Tortoise lately wink

When Anders left to work at Microsoft, I was very involved with Delphi at the time. To show my disgust, I put up an Anders tribute web page, sort of a joke. I can't find where I put the html but I did find an image that was sent to me by an anonymous source.

It's a poster that was hanging up at the Borland campus:

Unfortunately no one can be told what PunBB is - you have to see it for yourself smile

Pete,

Interesting idea, I hope Phuser goes well for you.

Thanks for using PunBB.

Hey,

Glad to see another person giving Linux a try smile

* To learn Ubuntu, the forums are a great help as is the Wiki, which is full of great information.
* Apache, MySQL and PHP would be installed afterwards, very simple, just pick it from the software list.
* Gedit is a pretty capable editor, it even does syntax highlighting.
* Check out Samba to share out files, that's what I use for my MP3 library.

I would recommend dual booting, Grub works great off the master boot record.

Si,

It looks to be a repackaging of PHP-Nuke.

As far as integration, is this just styling or deeper, like sharing users?

mystic,

We had the Nucleus to PunBB plugin working just fine, then the developers of Nucleus changed something in the core involving user registration and it broke the plugin.

When PunBB 1.3 comes out with it's new extension system, integration with other systems should be much easier. So your choice of front end should not depend on if a plugin exists.

quaker,

I got to those screens where I can check what I want to download, I hit download now and nothing happens.

Never mind though, I've settled on XAMPPLite for my needs. What I was using your build for was to see what I can take out of XAMPP if I wanted to create a real slim build for a 128mb key distro.
