Do we need to update our main.tpl files or can we keep those in the directory?

Matt, thanks:)

I guess there is no one else interested in this.

If those values are zero your forums aren't busy enough and you should focus on getting more traffic. Also, I LIKE to see those links even if the result is zero because at least I have a way of finding out if there has been any recent activity.

yep... I know I have to work on traffic to the forum. the extension request is not to permanently hide the buttons but to hide them ONLY if there are no new posts or active topics.

It's all in the title...

I wonder if there is a way to hide the "New Posts" and the "Active Topics" links when their return values are zero.

We had a similar discussion on copyright about 3 years ago over at the textpattern forum. You might find that some of your questions will be answered through some of the links posted there.

I forum was hacked again after I changed my assword to new. I used my laptop to access to my administrator area, no keylog install because I reinstall my laptop before I change my username and password. In log file I found hacker IP: 123.17.183.199.

Are you sure that it's not your own IP?
www.ip2location.com shows that to be from Vietnam which I understand that it is where you come from.

its a video button: [video][/video]

Thanks

If there is a way i'd like to know how extra buttons are added. I am particularly interested in a way to add the [strike][/strike] attribute.

Hi YonasH, is there a way to add a preference  as the one I described a few days ago? My question of course excluded moderators and admins.

Unfortunately I did not manage to understand you completely. Are you talking about using usual buttons in BBcode Bar? Describe it in a more detailed way, please.

Hi Slavok,

In the neme forum under the Settings/Features preferences we have "Allow BBCode img tag in posts." unchecked which implies that we do not allow images on the forum.

The bbcode extension does not recognise this preference and provides the forum members with the img tag button.

One problem with the bbcode_buttons extension.
Although it requires the include/parser.php it does not check the preferences of the forum and it includes buttons which should not be made available such as (in my case) the image button.

I consider this a bug. Is there a way around it?

Is there any way to lock certain topics and/or posts and make them uneditable by their authors whilst the rest of the forum retains the standard edit post features?

Reports are feedback from users to the admins/moderators. They are basically there to inform you ons spam posts or improper behaviour.

You do't need to hack the code. the css you need is something like

ul {list-style:none !important;list-style-position: outside !important;font-size:11px;padding: 10px;margin: 0;}

Adjustments to the css should of course be made to meet your particular needs

is there a way to have a "noindex follow" on some of the pages such as the user list or any other page which is not front end forum/topics related?

thanks YonasH, your extension fills a gap left in 1.3. works just fine in our install.

iamz, maybe this post might be of help. Although it is directed towards wp users, the code should work anywhere...

also remember to backup first. Furthermore remember to move any avatars/images/whatever in the new install

I had the same problem with 1.2.x which eventually forced me to close down new registrations and only allow existing forum members to post. 1.3.x seems that it has solved the problem. For how long? I don't know, as captcha can now be broken by bots very easily. Check out decaptcher.com. Carnegie Mellon University is working on alternative systems which might sort this out but IMHO I don't think that captcha is the longterm way to go to prevent spam.

Garciat, thanks for that, it also works with textpattern if wrapped in php and placed in a page or form,

<txp:php>$show = '10';
define('FORUM_ROOT', '{replace_this}');
echo '<ul>';
echo file_get_contents(FORUM_ROOT . '/extern.php?show=' . $show);
echo '</ul>';</txp:php>

Is there a way to rid of the ellipse at the which shortens topic titles and allow for the whole title to appear?

The O.P shouldn't need to resort to that however if things are working as they should. Banning an I.P should ban an I.P. Nothing more or less.

True, but if this was a persistent spammer, the htaccess rule will sort it out until a PunBB solution is found by someone with better knowledge than me.
