Search options (Page 2 of 3)

I could put that code into the forum itself, but I don't like to hack up the source if I can avoid it. I tend to blow changes away when I upgrade. Even having the avatars under /img/avatars/ has caused me some trouble Perhaps when there is a proper plugin system I'll turn it into a plugin, but I'm holding off until then.

I don't think there is anything malicious intended in politely asking people to leave the copyright in the footer intact. That being said, you are well within your rights to remove it - and to do anything else with the PunBB software you like, provided that you follow the requirements set forth by the GPL license. I think it's a very nice gesture to leave the copyright notice on there (and I do), but I don't think there is anything particularly wrong with removing it. Either way, it's not a legal issue - it's a moral one. If you appreciate the free and unrestricted use of this great software, the author politely asks that you leave the copyright in the footer intact. If you feel you have good reason to remove it, you're certainly allowed to do so. Not that I'm a lawyer or have any official connection to PunBB.

wow - that's a lot of great stuff! i'm really looking forward to 1.3, especially the proper extensions bit.

I'd imagine that the old behavior will still be the default, and that the ability to have topics marked as "new" until you actually read them would be a per-user option...?

What I'm proposing doesn't try to solve the "real" "problem" (scare-quotes) here, because I don't that that users actually want to read every single post.

I'm basically just giving the user a choice to see posts that are new since X date/time. I think that this simple addition to the searching capabilities (search.php) would provide a lot of benefit for users that are requesting a way to mark posts as read when they're read.

Not that I think the javascript idea is a bad one - but I don't want to rely on things that may or may not work with future versions. I also am not interested in radically expanding PunBB's feature set. However, I think that adding this extra small feature will result in less worry about this other, larger, "feature" or change in behavior.

Yeah, I looked into this, and I don't quite get it.

I can't get this plugin working - has anybody else?

I'm trying to get the Local Searches "Pepper" working with PunBB searches. I asked in the Mint forum, but it seems nobody knows how to do it.

If somebody who knows what that means can help, I'd love to get this figured out.

From the Mint config:

The {} indicates a form field.

The question is what should be put into the Query field, as I think the "search.php" path is pretty self-explanitory.

I just want to bump this a bit, sorry.

Does anyone know of an easy way to add a Topic via a function or something? Right now, it looks like you have to add a Topic, then a Post, then make some changes to the Topic, and possibly the user.

Is there anything easier?

I would think so. The main idea is to put your wordpress header and footer on top/bottom of your punbb, and then get the css in there, too. so, it really should work with any theme out there.

I integrated PunBB and Wordpress, with the brand new k2 theme (http://binarybonsai.com/k2/). I think the results are great (http://www.almosteffortless.com/forum/), and I wrote a blog post about it (http://www.almosteffortless.com/?p=21). Please check it out and let me know what you think! And thanks again for your very helpful post about it.

I see the option in the Transmit FTP client settings, and I'll change it. Anyway, I just wanted to point this issue out. It's totally my fault, obviously, but I though it would be worth mentioning.
