Search options

This works great!

I can now invite clients into the board to discuss their project -- without them seeing other client discussions. Very cool!

One small downside is that if you have many clients (category level) with a few forums or topics under each one (design, maintenance, misc) you have 6-8 check boxes to swich off for each "Edit group permissions for this forum" area, you have lots of settings to change manually, potentially hundreds, depending on the size of your system. But anyway, it's a great tool for my business now.

I added the Mod which allows only me (the Admin) to add subcribers.

Thanks.

I'm so stupid that I figured I better update these directions for the latest version of PunBB -- as this setting location has changed and it's HARD TO FIND if you're stupid. I know I will be back here... again. ;-)

For PunBB 1.2.x, Admin Menu, User Groups, Existing Groups, Edit Guest, set all radios to Yes.

Some credit is due, I figure this one out myself.

I replaced the parser.php section which begins and ends as follows with the php from your post but it had no effect:

$pattern = array('#\[b\](.*?)\[/b\]#s',

<snippage of middle part>
                    
'<span style="color: $1">$2</span>');

I simply switched out the script section and uploaded the revised parser.php file to the appropriate "include" folder.

Here's the test post,

I'm searching for the language files.
No clues from a search.

And I don't think you mean the "lang" folder

Nothing too large I expect.

First, the client would like to add iconic graphics next to categories (like next to Bug Reports on the PunBB board).

I can try to develop a list of items w/client first if someone's interested.

Thanks,
Toby.

That makes sense.

But recently I watched a forum based on Matt's WWWBoard go from regular use to no use... presumably because they upgraded to a board with registration. (They upgraded because they were tired of dealing with spammers... which is what you have to deal with if you don't have registration, I know.)

With PunBB even if you don't actually have to register, the mere presence of the word register might make some potential posters think they MUST register to post, so I would prefer to remove it. But I have to think more about this now...

Thanks.

Is there a help file on this topic?

Anyways, in the 'functions.php' file, should I remove the following section?

if ($cookie['is_guest'])
    {
        if ($pun_config['o_search'] == '1' && $pun_config['p_guests_search'] == '1')
            $links[] = '<a href="search.php">'.$lang_common['Search'].'</a>';

        $links[] = '<a href="register.php">'.$lang_common['Register'].'</a> | <a href="login.php">'.$lang_common['Login'].'</a>';
       
        $info = $lang_common['Not logged in'];
    }
    else
    {
        if ($cur_user['status'] < PUN_MOD)
        {
            if ($pun_config['o_search'] == '1')
                $links[] = '<a href="search.php">'.$lang_common['Search'].'</a>';

            $links[] = '<a href="profile.php?id='.$cur_user['id'].'">'.$lang_common['Profile'].'</a>';
            $links[] = '<a href="login.php?action=out">'.$lang_common['Logout'].'</a>';
        }
        else

Thanks,
Toby.

Okay, I now see that not registering is the default setting, eh?
