a small question then, how does this script determine that topic is new? i mean does it mark topic read immediately after entering it ?
the javascript makes it's own cookies
yep, no more database storage ... everything will be put on disk instead, and I'll make a little installscript that will 'move' the files from database to file storage... and I'm also going to try not to use any file editing to set configurations either (going to try using PunBB's own things for those things instead, if possible)
Either way ... I have started to poke around planning for the rewrite, and some things seems to be much better for modding than previous versions, which is nice, but the mod requires a total rewrite, so it'll take a while (but on the bright side, once the mod is released, 1.2 should have been tested throughout 
)
I took one, thanks Bwongar.com 
hmm... saw that gmail has pop and smtp, anyone tried it with PunBB (to send passwords, subscriptions etc)?
you can still create 2 billion groups can't you?
yep
but I was more thinking on the 'consistency', two cells to hold the same value not having the same type/attributes ... I said it was a small bug 
When poking around to plan the attachment mod I stumbled upon a small bug (and probably not even noticable for anyone atm ).
In the users table, the group_id column is an int(10), but it's missing the UNSIGNED attribute. But someone has first to create a shitload of groups before it's even possible to be affected, so I doubt it's something needing quick patching
it's not listed on the php site either...
a tip is to use multiple windows, click the link "Show new posts since last visit" at the top, and then open the links from that in new windows (so you never reload that page), this way, it won't 'timeout' on you, removing the exclamationmarks
psst ... I rather have a version not needing a patch after a day or two, just because people demand it, and it was rushed out... let it take the time it needs, it's not like EA is standing with a big blowtorch and a pair of pliers saying release it now or else ...
so, contrary to most posts I see these days ... IMHO, don't release it until you want to do so Rickard, rather a week extra waiting than an important patch within a week!
probably in the parser, where the [ url ] gets parsed into 'real' html
looks like the classic space in config.php
make sure you do not have anything after ?> in config.php
With the attachment mod of mine, you can set guests not allowed to see attachments in that forum, and then attach the pic to the post you want to show the picture in
(and if you want an [ img ] I think you can check the url for the viewed image (I think a GET variable of download=1 is needed) ... haven't tried img with an 'unallowed' image, but I'd guess it will just show up as an broken image)
The mod currently only works for versions up to 1.1.5, and a complete rewrite will happen once 1.2 is released, so it'll take a little while until it's on 1.2.
one install all those things one want with "apt-get install package"
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i … l-packages
and a list of the avaible packages:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
I'm using it in textmode only, no screen or anything connected to it atm ... I just ssh onto it and do security updates etc.
installation of stuff is easy ... apt-get is my best friend by now
could be the acutal webserver application that chokes on something ...
When I had redhat, it clogged up and more or less brought the computer to a standstill (hard reset only way to get it to work again) ... I think it was apache that started threads that stalled and used up the memory ... Installed Debian, and haven't had a single problem like that again ...
so, you shouldn't just say it's unlikely, and dismiss it ... there might be something in the configurations, disk-access, bad memory etc. that can be the reason ... so it might be worth trying to log what happens on the server, when you get that effect (for example, could be that apache runs out of free slots, if you use apache that is )
We sure are! 
same for GET and POST variables ... so you have at least 3 ways to get variables to the server, and if the order of those are in a way you don't want (like cookie, Get, post ... and you use something in get or cookie, a user submitting a variable through post will override the other two)
I suppose you mean "Stick topic", you find it at the bottom of the page for the thread.
Not sure if it gets affected by pruning though...
1. Admin-Permissions set Guests to allow posting
2. Admin-Options :: Display - Smilies off
(and the bbcode stuff you can do by editing parser.php I think)
and on the 3 ... that require some more editing, mostly in viewtopic.php I think ...
you'de be amazed of the info that comes with PunBB
From the FAQ.html file...
2.5. I've set the forum into maintenance mode and I'm logged out. How do I turn it off?
Copy/upload the script turn_off_maintenance_mode.php from the directory scripts/ into the forum root directory and run it through your browser. A message will appear when the operation has completed. Don't forget to remove the script from the forum root directory when finished.
ain't it a funny thing to adapt things to work for more than one thing 
(loads of things there 
)
search function in PunBB use stopwords aswell for the search, so you can decide what shouldn't go into the search database...
It is necessary to understand that these strings can exploit a
bunch of popular PHP applications remotely because they pass f.e.
cookie content to unserialize().
luckily I'm using explode/implode/substr for most of my cookie stuff
lol, and noone to blame I suppose?
(are the www name blocked aswell? )
