Something that allows me to "simulate" right click->save as with an URL that I have in the clipboard. How many times hasn't that happened to you? You have an URL in the clipboard and you need to save the destination to your harddrive. IMPOSSIBLE!

Re: Apache Authentication (2 replies, posted in Feature requests)
The problem is that you still need to fill the database with users. If you know a little programming yourself, it shouldn't be too difficult to hack check_cookie() in include/functions.php. There you can check if the user is HTTP authenticated and if the user does not exist in the database, create it.

So if extension si only xml files, is it possible to have the same concept on 1.3 release ? (With punres who host all extensions)
Thing is, an extension must be able to include other files as well. Other PHP scripts, images etc. I would like extensions to be packaged as zip files. It would be great if these could be located at punres.
pokemon_jojo wrote:
And what about extension' update ?
Updating an extension is just a matter of uploading the new version into the extensions directory and installing it. If there is already an older version of the extension installed, it will be overwritten. If the extension has its own database tables (or if it modifies the default tables) and the table layout changes between versions of the extensions, the author of the extension will have to include support for this in the install code. To help with that, a variable called $cur_version will be available to the author so that he/she can do different things depending on from which version the extension is being upgraded.

Re: Cookie for entire site ? (1 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Well, having two separate logins is never a good idea. You can use the PunBB login for the whole site if you want to. Just set your cookie_domain appropriately (for example '.domain.com').

Re: using 1.2.8 live while using 1.2.9 in dev? (10 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Well, if you leave the base url pointing to your current installation, you will have problems doing certain things as mod/admin in the dev forums. Other than that, the forums will work. Give it a go. If you run into trouble, just ask and we'll work it out.

I don't get it. There were no template changes between 1.2.8 and 1.2.9. It was a very small update to deal with a vulnerability.

No, nevermind the domain cookie string. If it was empty before, just leave it like that.

As I'm currently redesigning the site, and I wanted to know if I can just unzip and upload the 1.2.9 files into my dev folder where the new design is and copy over the config file from 1.2.8 and run it as normal.
Yes.
lament wrote:
or would I have to change some cookie settings? are there any db changes in 1.2.9 from 1.2.8?
If the new site is accessed through a different URL, yes, maybe. Depends on whether you've changed the cookie settings already or if you run with the default (an empty string). If you change URLs, you will also have to update the base URL.
There are no db changes except for the version bump.

In select locations throughout the source, PunBB calls get_hook(hook name) and then eval()'s the code.

Just curious though, why?
Well, if I know that PunBB is running on 4.3.0 or later, I can remove some code here and there and make things a bit simpler. Password hashing can rely completely on sha1(), no need to reimplement get_file_contents() or var_export() etc.

So, you will have LOTS of hooks around the place?
Depends on what you mean with "LOTS". I honestly don't know how many will be required, but I can imagine it will land somewhere between 100 and 200. We'll see. Where to place the hooks will be the difficult part of the implementation. I plan on downloading the top 10 mods for PunBB and going through them, making sure they would be possible to implement as extensions. I will also ask you guys to help me out in finding locations that I might have missed.

Does that mean that my personal customisations can be gathered together into an extension, and when i need to upgrade I can just take the standard install and apply "my extension", and the upgrade is done?
Yes. You won't even have to "re-apply" your extension. Just upgrade your PunBB scripts. Sure, there might be the odd compability break, but in most cases, it will work without a hitch. There are also limits to what is possible with these extensions, but I will do my best to add as much flexibility as possible without having a hook on ever other line in the source

I was thinking along the same lines but didn't know if you wanted to change things.
I would consider plugins what you refer to as extensions now cause they plugin to the running code.
But then people might confuse them with what we today call plugins. I went with extensions because that's what people are used to with e.g. Firefox.

On a side note, or why I dislike Windows:
Decided to try out the Luna Element 4 theme, I just use the classic theme in XP. Downloaded it, ran the exe and installed it. Fired up Display Properties, selected it and everything went black except some icons. I spent the last hour trying to get my user account back to the classic theme. Thankfully I kept the Owner account around and created a new account for myself when I got this new laptop, so I kept switching users to determine what keys to hit in the darkness.
Oh how I miss plain /etc text config files
The problem is that Windows doesn't like you to install styles that aren't "signed" by them. In order to use third party themes, you have to patch a dll. You can use UXTheme Multi-Patcher.

I'm considering renaming what we today call plugins and call them "Admin add-ins" or something like that. The term plugins is misleading since they don't really "plug into" anything.
