so moving topics is built into punbb?  just not moving individual posts?  or am i misunderstanding?

Correct...You can move a topic, and even leave a redirect topic behind.
However, you cannot move individual posts.

*hmmmm*
Interesting...
I think that there have been posts on it, so - how hard would it be to just share user DBs and the such?
Well...no - it would be more complex than that.

NM.

alicson - No, not yet. Pehaps in the future - but, not yet...

And, the mod would only be necessary for split topics. Not moving topics.

Ok...I keep seeing pages adding Wikkis.
Now, the whole point of my page is just the storing and exchange of random information - however, divided into topics.

Now, what are the ups and downs of a forum such as punBB and having a wiki.
I mean: If I have a forum, isn't it just a modified and user-based wiki?

So, why would I need one?
I am just really confused on this.

It works perfectly on mine...

Well, except for that page I listed - but that's not because of version changes.

I am trying to make a forum that has categories, subcategories, AND subsubcategories.  Can anyone tell me if PunBB can make it happen?

Not without heavy modding.
Are you talking about sub-forums (child-boards....whatever....)?

It's because he's using a similar WordPress template to mine.
Well, I mean - we both seem to have started out with the same template. "Benevolence" by Theron Parlin.
It just seems that z3ro removed the template copyright and such.

It's an awesome template to build off of. The first that I've found that I actually like.

I like the forums template.
Is there a place I can download it?

I was going to release it to the public,
but then I had the problem - Wouldn't that take away from the uniqueness of my own site.

I'm am however going to release a similar one called "Breath" which is light-blue.

...or, you could call the "news.html" page to whatever page you want using a PHP include:

Example:

<html>
<head>
</head>

<body>

<div class="content">

<?php include('http://www.mysiteroot.com/forum/plugins/AP_News_Generator/news.html'); ?>

</div>

</body>
</html>

Of course, replace the path to the include with your own site address. Plus, I added the 'divs' for effect. They don't have to be there.

That works now, but if you're going to allow the menu main topics to be clickable, you should have them go to a page that includes links to all the pages listed on the menu.

erissiva: i think you need php to stop people from viewing a page while logged out

Oh, well I was just going for a basic login-redirect issue. All the pages on the rest of the site are done through punBB, so I don't have to worry about that. I don't want people to have to register to see the index of my site.

Edit: Oh, wait. I didn't see maicus' post about checking user rights. *ka-doh!* Sorry...

Actually, I use a NetMD minidisc player. I find it much tastier than an mp3 player for many reasons:

1) Car stereo...
2) Battery life
3) If I want to keep info on a minidisc, I can...Or not...But, I can always increase my collection of minidiscs. It's kind of like expandable memory.

There's more, I'm just bored right now.

ConnorHD - I had to much trouble with that, so I just used HTML.

macius - Put this in the header right before "</head>"...It's the Javascript that prevents them from logging in without putting in a username or password.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function process_form(the_form)
{
    var element_names = new Object()
    element_names["req_username"] = "Username"
    element_names["req_password"] = "Password"

    if (document.all || document.getElementById)
    {
        for (i = 0; i < the_form.length; ++i)
        {
            var elem = the_form.elements[i]
            if (elem.name && elem.name.substring(0, 4) == "req_")
            {
                if (elem.type && (elem.type=="text" || elem.type=="textarea" || elem.type=="password" || elem.type=="file") && elem.value=='')
                {
                    alert("\"" + element_names[elem.name] + "\" is a required field in this form.")
                    elem.focus()
                    return false
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return true
}
// -->
</script>

This is the login info...(I modded it for my site, mod it to match your own...)

<form id="login" method="post" action="forumroot/login.php?action=in" onsubmit="return process_form(this)">
<div class="infldset">
<input type="hidden" name="form_sent" value="1" />                    <input type="hidden" name="redirect_url" value="index.php" />
<label class="conl"><strong>Username</strong>
<br />
<input type="text" name="req_username" size="10" maxlength="25" tabindex="1" />
<br /></label>
<label class="conl"><strong>Password</strong>
<br />
<input type="password" name="req_password" size="10" maxlength="16" tabindex="2" /><br /></label>
<a href="forumroot/register.php" tabindex="4">Not registered yet?</a><br />
<a href="forumroot/login.php?action=forget" tabindex="5">Forgotten your password?</a>
<br />
<input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" tabindex="3" />
</div>
</form>

Change all instances of "forumroot" to the path of your forum.

didn't work for me.

I had this same issue, and it was so easy.
I just  looked at the source of the login screen and copy/pasted. Then styled to fit my page.

And the selects just show the default style in IE. Thats why I left form controls alone. Inconsistency doesn't look good. If you can't make the selects the same style as the inputs then best not to bother.

As far as I found, there is no way to style the border of check-boxes and dropdowns with css. You can modify dropdowns many other ways, including transparecny - but you can fix the border issue.

Rickard - Which file upload dialogue? O_O

Paul - My site's not exactly IE friendly...but then again, I guess standards just are Microsoft's "thing". Most of that stuff defaults in IE, anyways. Kind of like radio buttons and the such. They always default to your systems thing - even in FF.

Help

If you are using the DB plugin, just don't tick the "messages" checkbox and use the "Full" method.
If you're using phpMyAdmin or something similar, it's a little more tricky.

When you go to "Export", only select the tables you want to backup...Don't include the "messages" table.
