Then you should ask the author of the mod.

I've been in contact with the the Revo Forum people and we will try to work this out in private. Please don't take any action on PunBB's part (for example registering to post rants in their forums). I'm closing this topic for now. If anything comes up that I think is something that might be of interest to the community, I will post it.

Stealing the PunBB source code, rebranding it and applying some non-GPL compliant license to it is one thing. What I don't get is why these people informed us of the breach. The name bodhisattva is in pretty much all the source files and his e-mail here in the forums is the one on the disabled Berlios account. Serpect is the same person (well, at least they're on the same IP).

Oh well. I'll e-mail the guy and ask him what's up. There's no need for you guys to go all vigilante. Let me talk to him first.

Edit: Those of you who have had your mods "stolen" are of course free to take any action you want. It has nothing to do with PunBB.

Use queries with the LIKE statement

No, that will not use fulltext indexing. You need to add a fulltext index to the affected columns and then change the search script to issue queries on the form MATCH (field) AGAINST('searchtext'). I think there was a mod for this. Not sure though.

Well, your phpinfo() output shows that MySQL support is not enabled in your PHP installation. How to enable it is a Debian issue though and I'm not sure how to help you. Perhaps there's a Debian user here that can help?

Well, it has to do with how PunBB caches the search results to not have to execute the full search when you jump between pages in the search result. Not sure how to work around that.

Well, it appears as if the database you're migrating to doesn't contain a PunBB installation. I believe it must in order for the migration tool to work.

Cool smile

Noted.

That's odd. It's difficult for me to tell you what might be the problem. I'd need access.

Well, I guess that would solve it. We would have to add some code to the query method of the db class to rewrite the query, but that's very possible. Also, I'm sure a couple of queries would have to be rewritten completely, but that's no biggie either.

However, I have never been in contact with an Oracle database, so I wouldn't even know where to start. If someone else would be willing to investigate this, I would be very grateful.

Then there's another thing. The search feature of PunBB is the thing I am least satisfied with. It does it's own search word indexing and performance is not good. MySQL has built-in fulltext indexing that works great. Problem is, what do with do with the other databases? Sometime I wish I hadn't added PostgreSQL and SQLite support in the first place smile

Go to admin/forums, edit the forums and make sure guests don't have posting rights.

The biggest problem with using oracle is that it doesn't support LIMIT/OFFSET, so there's no simple way to display 30 topics starting with topic number 100.

And before anyone comments on this. Yes, I'm aware that LIMIT/OFFSET is not SQL Standard, but that doesn't change the fact that it's damn convenient.

This is nice and all, but I'm afraid it's just political bs. No way in hell we can wean ourselves off oil in 15 years.

And the file include/dblayer/mysql.php exists?

Are you sure you're supposed to enter an external SMTP server in admin/options?

MindReality: If you've switched to phpBB already, what are you still doing here? Go annoy them instead.

No, it work with MySQL <4.1. Textpattern does it for example. MySQL doesn't simply understand what he is storing, but that doesn't matter.

That's not entirely true. Sorting of the user list for example, will be off.

Looking forward to trying this one out. I'm not sure about the torrent support though. Remember, "A program should do one thing and do it well".

If only Opera could use Windows built-in controls for textarea, buttons etc. Opera's own controls are ugly.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you want something to be included before PunBB's includes, put it before <pun_head>. If you want it after, put it after.

Then I suggest you talk to the blog:cms guys. This seems like an integration issue.
