If UltraEdit is that good, $40 don't seem much.

Re: Users in 2 Groups? (36 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I also think it's a core feature of forums, and I also waste time on multiple groups handling every needed scenarios. However I do understand what's at stake, and what that would imply. Maybe it's best to leave it open in 1.3, play with the new version, the new plugin system, and see what can be done with it. If it ain't possible to achieve that with a plugin, then we could always try to convince Rickard to implement it in 1.4. Or best, someone PHP knowledgeable could submit a diff patch to the community, and keep Rickard working on other things

I pay around $3 a month for a good small shared hosting, with ssh access. And with ssh, you can do pretty much anything you need and you pay for.

so i need the mutiple files bak tool. that split the mysql bak file to files about 1M ... and if you got 20M then it will be 20 .sql files for downloading ..
So write it, or pay someone to write it.
Or more clever, find a decent host.
This has nothing to do with PunBB.

Re: The format of the "fancy urls" in 1.3? (26 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Try to look at the article creating/saving stage. There are two SQL column, one for the title, and for the the "url-title". Ask on the TXP forum if needed.

Yup, it's probably the best way to do it. Look at the Textpattern GPL code, this soft already do this for the articles.

Re: Are then any disadvantages to running the forums in UTF-8 (7 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Haven't tested that far. You know, we still have a major search bug with single quote (and they are quite importanty in several languages), so proper alpha sorting isn't really on the top of the list

I run it with 4.0 from some time (started with 4.1, did a dump --compatible-mysql40), no issues.

Re: smart quotes (20 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Well, that depend on how you handle utf-8. Right now, a 1.2 PunBB set to utf-8 has some problem. It doesn't appear with IE6 or Firefox, but for example the W3C html validator don't like them. Maybe you should apply Textile to the post's texts ?

MD5 is not secure anymore, for a little less than 2 years now. I doubt this was used here to hack one's forum, but in theory MD5 should not be used anymore for anything.

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.

Re: Rewrite bbcode functions (8 replies, posted in Feature requests)
Along those changes, a quite useful thing to have would be to allow multiple "markup" (or encoding) for posting. A common requested example is Textile.
Not code them or implement them, just leave rooms (and hooks) for them so that the 1.3 plugins may easily implement them for example.

Yes, you're right. But I think it's the time to think about a full-utf8-support PunBB
Until now, after many days play with punBB & MySQL UTF8, I think it's possible
It's possible right now. Set the charset to utf-8, encode the locale strings into utf-8, for the most part it works. A full support of utf-8 would be nice though, and even more nicer to set utf-8 as the default charset (it would solve most of the non-english issues).

Re: Encoding (9 replies, posted in Feature requests)
You can put UTF-8 into MySQL 3.x and 4.0 without a problem. It still work. You simply don't have access to some fancy functions. Besides, MySQL 4.1 is what... 2 years old now ? Time to move on

However, I don't believe it is material for the official codebase just yet. mbstring isn't included in the default install of PHP and thus, lots of systems are up and running without it. It also comes with a performance penalty in comparison to the native singlebyte string routines in PHP (which are used very frequently I might add). It's a sad story, but I don't believe it's possible to write a UTF-8 capable discussion board in PHP today that works with multiple databases and the millions of different configurations that occur. There's always going to be something missing or something misconfigured.
Textpattern is no board, but it handle utf-8 quite nice.
