Ive got a strange little problem... hope someone can shed some light on it for me and maybe know how to fix it for the IE users.

So, ive cut out the min-max-javascript (since the pictures look awful in IE) and taken out the 100% setting for Firefox but that only leaves me with another problem. The forum is set to a fixed width (1000px) but i want images thats bigger than that to just make the forum wider but all it does is dissapear under the edge[1] (because of the overflow: hidden setting). When i change this to visible it totally breaks the layout in IE [2] but it works fine in Firefox so i guess its another ie-css-compatiliblity problem but is there a way of fixing this so it works for IE too?

The strangest thing is that a in IE that a really large image will both break the layout and dissapear behind the edge [3] even when the setting is visible (still works as it should in Firefox though)...

Ive heard that an image says more that thousand words so here you go smile

could i just ask how you added the 2 fields?

I took a close look on how the other fields were checked and sent to the database, then i just copied these actions and put it into my own column... I wont post the exact code modifications since I cant promise that it doesnt compromise the rest of the forum, it works fine for me but i wouldnt risk anyone elses.

Dont really know if this is caused by me or something else but sometimes when a subscribed topic is active the "sender" of the email is "forum.digitalimagery.se E-posttjänst" and sometimes its "forum.digitalimagery.se Mailer"... The rest of the email is exactly the same.
It doesnt really matter but i´m to curious to just ignore it smile

Glad you like it! I'll have a look at the indicators tomorrow and Paul said something about the imageprocessing could be changed in a nearby release so that will just have to be as it is for now.

We've switched from phpBB to pun 1.2, and what can I say, i just love it!

Anyway, heres how it looks. Tell me what you think, doesnt matter if its good or bad!


http://forum.digitalimagery.se

Some mods:
* Miles "Mark topics as read" (http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6101)
* Two additional fields in the userprofile, camera and camerabag (example: http://forum.digitalimagery.se/profile.php?id=54)

Todo list:
* Make the page valid!
* Som minor CSS issues to get pun to handle posts with images as i want it.
* Get a cup of coffee!


And thanks for all the help ive had from you guys!

I just switched from Shawns javascript-based mod to yours, works perfectly, very nice work!

Probably a "cooler" name for studentunion at Xavier University, or as we call it in sweden "studentkåren".

The config.php DOESNT exist from the begging, you will have to create one yourself.

For example, open Notepad -> paste the information you get from the install (the one you posted above) -> save -> filename: config.php -> filetype: all files (or whatever its called in your operatingsystem).

When you've done this, just upload the file to the same directory that you uploaded the rest of the pun-files.

Let me think about this, I will get back to you.

Any clever ideas on how to solve this?

We did the upgrade on the live forum yesterday and i found a pretty strange solution to this "problem", if you rebuild the search index (from the pun-admin) and then run the upgrade script it works perfectly. If someone posts a single message in the forum between the reindex and upgrade it fails as in my first post.

I thougt that i should post it here since other people seems to have the same problem.

Thats just my point, the changes i made makes the whole forum to grow right in firefox... I can get you a screenshot later if you want.

I havent used PunBB earlier, we've been using PhpBB for some time and in every aspect pun is better (easier to customize, very fast, small, and made by a Swede!), since its a photography forum it would be better to get this behaviour but for some reason we overlooked this mayor fact when we decided to begin the transition to pun.

The bug youre talking about, how nasty is nasty? I cant duplicate any bug at all using Firefox 1.0...

Now im confused... if using these settings the forum does what i want in Firefox 1.0, is this because the browser doesnt comply with the standard or is it maybe Internet Explorer that doesnt?

7.4:
DIV.blockpost, DIV.postleft, DIV.postsignature, DIV.postmsg {OVERFLOW: visible}
DIV.incqbox {WIDTH: 100%; OVERFLOW: hidden }
DIV.scrollbox {WIDTH: 100%; OVERFLOW: visible}

Changed DIV.blockpost from overflow: hidden to visible and scrollbox from auto to visible.

Since its obviously is possible (error or not), could this perhaps be duplicated in Explorer? At this point i dont really need the forum to validate so a quick and dirty fix is welcome.

Thought about that possibility so ill just have to go with just the image growing out of the framework then.

Paul, thanks for clearing this up for me.

Instead of a large image being contained within scrollbars i would like it to make the whole forum grow towards the right part of the screen. Ive been testing a bit on my own but so far ive only been able to make the image:
1. dissapear under the forum edge...
2. The image is shown in its full glory, but the forum is still the same width and it looks kinda strange.

So, is there any CSS-gurus here who could help me correct this little(??) problem, you could just tell me to get another hobby but i would prefer the first alternative ;-)

This time i need some help understanding this CSS-problem...

I want to put the PunBB part in a <div> wich runs from top to bottom of the browser window (see picture 1). Ive done the <div> and the css to make it do what i want, but when including the punbb variables into main.tpl (where ive put my layout changes) it stops looking like it used too (see picture 2).

Is there a css-guru here that might shed some light over this darkness?


Picture 1 (what it should look like)
http://www.riskaka.com/pics/punbb_error/right.png

Picture 2 (what it does look like)
http://www.riskaka.com/pics/punbb_error/wrong.png

this is the css code i use:

#sidebars {
    background-color: #669999;
    border-right-width: 1px;
    border-left-width: 1px;
    border-right-style: solid;
    border-left-style: solid;
    border-right-color: #000000;
    border-left-color: #000000;
    overflow: visible;
    visibility: visible;
    height: 100%;
    width: 80%;
    position: relative;
    left: 10%;
    bottom: 0px;
    top: 0px;
}

I see... hope Chacmool takes another look at the converter then.


I fixed my it own way, i ran the script until it failed, cut everything until the posts-table and users edits at the end and ran that bit again, now it works fine again... hopefully smile  Wont put it into live-mode until i know for sure anyway.

Encountered some problems when performing this upgrade, the 1.1.5 installation is from the beginning a phpBB 2 conversion wich have been working flawlessly until the upgrade.
The problems start almost immediately with the update-tool reporting an error:

An error was encountered
File: /home/di/public_html/forumtest/11_to_12_update.php
Line: 166

PunBB reported: Unable to alter DB structure.

Database reported: Can't DROP 'search_results_ident_idx'. Check that column/key exists (Errno: 1091)

Tried it two or three times without any change so i edited 11_to_12_update.php so it skipped the part that didnt work only too discover that every change the script tries to make after this fails too with the same error!

Please, someone tell me what im doing to wrong!

Oh, i migt need to say that ive tried installing a clean 1.1.5 pun and upgrading to 1.2 just to see if there was something wrong with permissions and so on but this upgrade performs perfectly.

Some information:
Environment Operating system: Linux
PHP: 4.3.10-2 - Show info
Accelerator: N/A Database MySQL 4.0.23_Debian-1-log

Det här med att moderatorerna kan ändra pass på admin är ju ingen hit... Du har ingen fulfix på detta så länge? Förutom att degradera alla moderators till vanliga användare?

Jag lägger min röst på PunBB.

www.punbb.com/net/org är ju dessutom ledigt!

Vad du än gör, regga INTE en .nu adress! Finns ju inget värre! Det verkar du oxå vara innne på men det tåls att påpeka igen wink

Gomorsning!

Tänkte bara höra hur det är ställt med att använda ett PUN-forum på en komersiell sida? Inte för att man kommer att tjäna några pengar direkt på forumet men innehållet på resterande sidor är i komersiellt syfte.
