Topic: How to merge 2 PunBB forums into one ? (13 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Does anyone has an idea on how merge 2 (or more) forums into one ?
I'm not talking about different install of PunBB, but inside one install, if I have several forums that I would like at some point to merge into one (take all the threads and posts of these forums and put them into only one) how would I do that ?
I haven't seen any merge option, or plugin. My guess is that would be a simple UPDATE sql command, but I prefer an expert opinion on the matter 
.

Not really. That mean on the same microsecond you have 5 SQL connections opened, on a lot of website that's enough.
Of course, if PunBB is opening SQL connection from top to end of each script, that's a different story

Re: Making multigroup a native feature (5 replies, posted in Feature requests)
That too Smarty's, but that's a different Feature request (and from my opinion a more arguable one in view of Rickard philosophy), because it will solve the problem only for moderators or noone else (and you have to do it by hand for every each of them, I know forums with close to a hundred moderators ^^ ).

Topic: Making multigroup a native feature (5 replies, posted in Feature requests)
For regular members, the most useful thing about usergroup is to be able to say: "these members can read this private forum, these others can read this other forum" and so on.
But right now, someone can't be in two groups, and more problematic someone can't be in a usegroup and have a forum function (like being a moderator).
I really, really think a multigroup feature is not a gadget.
I know there are some issues with permissions overall, but with global scheme (like if you are authorized once, you are authorized even if one of your usergroup is not) it should be easy to deal with.

Re: Off-site Avatars (14 replies, posted in General discussion)
Nononono, it's a good idea, especially for PunBB and its light philosophy. Just don't overcheck things, it's outside avatars or inside ones (admin's configuration), not both

True about the HTTP requests, but there would still be broken images. I don't know how specifying a fixed size would help that.
I misunderstood you, I thought you were talking about image braking the layout.
Well of course some avatars won't display, because their host is down or something, what's the issue ? It would be like having no avatar. Everyone can handle it's own hosting, if they can't they can find help on the forums by asking others.
I'm on several forums where this is working heavily right for image sig, without issues.

And the disadvantage is that your forums will be filled with broken images.
Why not use a standard fixed size ? I mean, if the admin set avatar to 60x60 pixel for example, well set all avatar to that size in html/css. No more broken image, and a *lot* of HTTP request no on the forum server anymore (so maybe you would trade this for a server side read/not-read thread thing ).

Seems to work fine.
One thing (it was my forst PunBB update) : why the .patch doesn't have to update script ? It's kinda strange to have to get it from the main archive, put it where it belong and run it.

Re: Set two different charset in the language pack (8 replies, posted in Feature requests)
Of course, it's Latin1.If I wanted to use utf-8 in the first place, it's because its the *only* charset that cover all french language (and a lot of others).
Latin1 doesn't cover it all, Latin9 is a little better but still not perfect. And I don't know of a PHP function to translate into Latin9 (and I don't want to do it by hand, it's a small trick until Rickard go full utf-8 and does it himself, or whatever).

Re: Set two different charset in the language pack (8 replies, posted in Feature requests)
Thunderbird can read unicode emails, as TheBat! and some others. In fact, all email software should do it, utf-8 is pretty old and utf-8 email were a standard recomandation since 1999 iirc. But, unfortunately, Eudora and Outlook (at least) two big clients, can't read it at all.

Re: © Copyright! (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Deleting or changing it ?
Changing it, like "Copyright Jérémie" is very wrong, and is not allowed at all ; in fact it's illegal.
Deleteting it... well.. it is allowed and in some cases it might be needed, or felt the way to do it. Still, even in that case, a colophon page with mention about PunBB is the strict minimum.
An in any cases, a drop by the Donate is always a good thing .

Re: Set two different charset in the language pack (8 replies, posted in Feature requests)
Yep it worked, thanks.
In case someone want to do the same (use unicode on the forum, but latin on the email) it's quite simple. In /include/email.php change
$headers = 'From: '.$from.$eol.'Date: '.date('r').$eol.'MIME-Version: 1.0'.$eol.'Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit'.$eol.'Content-type: text/plain; charset='.$lang_common['lang_encoding'].$eol.'X-Mailer: PunBB Mailer';
to
$headers = 'From: '.$from.$eol.'Date: '.date('r').$eol.'MIME-Version: 1.0'.$eol.'Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit'.$eol.'Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1'.$eol.'X-Mailer: PunBB Mailer';and add, before
if ($pun_config['o_smtp_host'] != '')
smtp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
else
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);the lines :
$subject = utf8_decode($subject);
$message = utf8_decode($message);
$headers = utf8_decode($headers);598 2005-04-01 09:17
Re: Set two different charset in the language pack (8 replies, posted in Feature requests)
I just thought of another issue... I believe some emails messages transmit the content of a post for example. So inside a mail, you have the talking in Latin1 (for example) and the post-content in unicode. Not good.
So, I will code it myself. Can you confirm that pun_mail() in email.php is the only way of sending an email for PunBB ? If I edit mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); with a utf8_decode for example, it should work ?

Topic: Set two different charset in the language pack (8 replies, posted in Feature requests)
I have an issue... some languages are best covered with UTF-8 (like french, and most of europeans languages) but a lot of mailers (including Eudora, and I believe Outlook) don't like utf-8 emails at all (yes it's a shame).
Would it be difficult to add a charset declaration in the email templates files so that the translator can revert back to something else (in that case Latin9 for example) ?
