For smilies and bold lettering etc you want a mod called "EasyBB Code". It can be downloaded from www.punres.org smile

If anyone can help with this I am still stuck. I am available on MSN Messenger if someone can offer some help.

Thanks,
Will

Why not use the money to advertise in the back of computing/webmaster magazine? Surely that will be the same price as a 30 x 30 pixel ad on milliondollarhomepage?

I can see the point of a cash mod and a shop mod sounds great but can someone explain in a little more detail what the RPG mod will be? Since it is related to this cash mod I thought I'd ask here. I know RPG stands for role playing game but what kind of rpg can be played on a message board?

This is an idea I am playing with, Im not too sure how it will work on 800x600 res though. It seems to work fine in Opera, Firefox, IE and AOL browser but would appreciate some double checking.

The main site is styled the same as the board but Ive only done it in HTML, I am going to use the punwiki tomorrow and have the whole site powered by Punbb smile

Thanks,
Will

I have searched the forums for this and it seems a lot of people want to know the same thing. I would like to add a new section to my user profiles. Would anyone be willing to write an easy-to-follow guide on how to do this? (Please don't tell me to edit an existing field, I want to add a new category and options)

So under the Profile Menu I will have 'Essentials', 'Personal', 'Messaging'... 'New Section'.

Then in the new section I would like to know how to add fields to it.

If anyone can help I would be very greatful,
thanks,
Will

Using the code from Punres I am able to add a sidebar to my board fine but I have been having trouble getting a second sidebar added correctly. I would like a sidebar down the left and the right hand side, both of the same width.

If someone could edit the original main.tpl code to include a second sidebar I would be very greatful, thanks!

I have looked around main.tpl and the stylesheets but everything seems to be fine. Is their padding on the main menu because it seems to be adding some. Where should I be looking?

I have set all the borders to "0" so anyone know why the borders are still showing up? You can view the demo here:

If someone can either tell me how to remove the borders, or if anyone has a suggestion other than tables I would be very greatful.

Thanks,
Will

How do I change the default value shown in the calendar? So instead of showing the numder of posts/topics on a particular day it automatically shows the events listed for that day?

You can see me calendar functioning here:

Sorry this should probably be in troubleshooting - just realised wink Somebody important please move the thread big_smile

I have installed Gizzmo's excellent Calendar Mod and it all seems to work fine on 1.2.7 big_smile

Thanks to the great link (http://punres.org/doku.php?id=tutorials … _a_sidebar) I successfully managed to put a sidebar on my site.

The trouble is I only want the side bar to appear on my actual site and not when a user enters the board. Is this possible?

I presume that instead of adding the bar to main.tpl I just have to put the code somewhere else but I'm not sure where?

It looks cool on: www.juju.34sp.com
but not when actually reading a board: http://www.juju.34sp.com/viewforum.php?id=3

Can anyone show me how to only have the sidebar only on certain pages? Thanks!

I have been thinking about moving to Textdrive for a while now but the forum seems to have a lot of complaints about downtime. Maybe this was because of the scheduled move to San Diego? Anyone here (other than Rickard) use TextDrive and able to vouch for its services? I am thinking of going for the lifetime hosting if it is still available

I have received so much support from you guys at Punbb and Im really greatful smile Before installing punbb I had never even looked at PHP and I am now comfortable editing myself (as I know you guys will bail me out if all gets too much lol big_smile ) Many thanks go to Rickard, Paul, Connor, kiplantt (from punres), and probably many more who have helped me out in the past.

Just a few days ago I was able to give a punbb user support for the first time ever big_smile I felt so good about myself being able to help tongue

The only thing I changed with regards to the Kontrast style was the 'new post' icons. The 'site' pages (i.e Support, Press, About Us) were done using the PunWiki (i think thats what its called).

Oscommerce has been styled to fit the punbb Kontrast theme.

http://www.izzy.34sp.com/board/index.php

This is still in test phases but I welcome all feedback (good and bad). Please feel free to make a 'fake' order as I would appreciate some beta testing anyway smile I wont ask anyone to actually pay lol.

The punbb theme I used was called 'Kontrast' and Kiplantt (the creator) really helped make the integration between punbb / oscommerce possible.

*Not all demo sites have been uploaded yet as the store is also in test phases.

Thanks,
Will
