Search options (Page 25 of 28)

Or maybe use MySQL search and index (or fulltext search) capability instead of builindg by hand in PHP. Would MySQL be slower/more ressources hungry that PHP in that area ?

That's a good news, more software standards compliant and using semantic code is always good.

Right now my heart balance more toward Photostack, but if Coppermine is compliant I will certainly take a deeper look at it.

Ouch, Coppermine is not exactly "light weighted", for the client at least. The HTML used is terrible...

About the one file : maybe you could put the localization in the DB ? Load it from a file (to ease translation, management and so on), but when it's done all call are made to the DB. It should be faster than including a php file, no ?

About the keep up : I haven't been here long enough to say, but from my fresh point of view the multiples files are an issue to keep up. For example, there is a french up to date pack (I think). I disagress seriously with several choices of translation, so I want to edit it. We (french) have the chance of having the languages files in a wiki at punbb.fr, so I already corrected most of it.

But for the remaining ones (including banning HTML entities; and using only utf8 ? which by the way could be tricky since it's PHP file, not text... I don't know, I will see when I try it) I have to check a dozen files, correcting, re-encoding, checking the choices I've made in others files to stay coherent, and so on.

So I would make this "new pack" avalaible if anyone is interested, and I will certainly keep-up to the new PunBB versions when I update my own forum(s), but it will mean more maintenance, more work from me, and more work for the people interested. In the end, it could explain why some poeple make their owns mods on their own and don't share.

Well, with SVN I maybe could create a patch for it (I don't know if I can limit the scope of a SVN patch, to not include others modifications or hacks I've down elsewheres), but most people are afraid of SVN and won't use it.

People actually use this one ????

Rcikard, if you include this, pleeeeeease make an option to disable it.

Uhhh... and what about localization of the scheme ?

Rev117.

Incorrect redirection : after posting a new thread, it looks for post/2/#p2 and report "Bad request. The link you followed is incorrect or outdated."

Search: all the quick links to search (show your post, and the like) send to the correct clean url but show the search page, with nothing special.

The number of results is not an accurate way of determining what Google index more than what.

IE7 is great, but has by definitions some down issues. The major one is that a IE client with javascript de-activated is screw up, and don't know why. And I'm pretty sure it's not that rare (at least >1% of total population).

Rickard ne parle pas français, donc c'est pas le bon forum pour demander. Et vu la philosophie de PunBB, je doute que cela l'intéresse.

Il existe déjà d'excellent outils pour faire un peu tout cela. Textpattern ou Plume en CMS, Photostack pour la gallerie d'images, l'email pour les messages privés.

Le tout est, si besoin est, d'intégrer tout cela de façon transparente pour l'utilisateur.

I've done a clean install to test it. The basics seems to works fine, but some peripherals don't (including anything search related). Anyway, it looks promising.

Trying to figure out where to report bug ^^

Does it escape the characters by itself ? PunTranslator doesn't seem to.
