Hey all,

For a quite useless thing I'm working on I'd like to extend the RadioButton class/property with two extra variables: dirleft and dirtop. I tried with

public partial class props : RadioButton
{
public bool dirleft;
public bool dirtop;
}

but that didn't work sad

Basically I just want two extra variables to be created whenever a radiobutton is created. This would certainly save me a hell of a lot of work for a simple program like this tongue

Any suggestions? Is it even possible? It would be damn handy if it was ^^

Thanks,
-- Bekko

group_id
It looks like new users start out with their group_id='32000', and once they reply to the welcome email and login for the first time, their account is activated and their group_id becomes '4'?

Yes. 32000 is the identifier for an unconfirmed account.

If I register a new user by submitting their email and username through the register form (same as they would), then go into the database via phpMyAdmin and change their group_id from 32000 to 4, will that cause any problems?

It shouldn't

The second part of that question is, do I even need to change group_id to 4?  I'm building a new topic by hand (that originated in an email thread) by posting the posts myself, then going into the database and changing the 'poster' from me to the new user who hasn't activated his account yet.  (In the 'posts' table, I edit 'poster', 'poster_id', and 'posted'.)  In the 'users' table I've been editing 'num_posts' and 'group_id'.  Is it OK to leave 'group_id' as 32000 and only edit 'num_posts'?

I don't think it needs to be changed. num_posts should do really.

You should look in your webserver's error log. Usually Apache smile

Javascript would be your best option IMO, just unhide the drop-down menu when you click the checkbox, and populate the menu through PHP.

What would JS have to do with this? >=/ It's just a referer thing usually. But if you have that turned off, that's your problem.

I had it with gedit on Linux: it didn't save it in the right format so PunBB said the file was corrupted (you might be experiencing a similar problem).

Auto_prepend is an Apache directive to automatically add some code to the start of every file. If that's screwed up, nothing works (all gives the same error).

Does your server by any chance do an auto_prepend or something? Then the error could be in there.

What text editor do you use?

Try reuploading it, I think it's corrupted.

Hey,

I myself develop in Dreamweaver, and yes, it makes some things easier (especially the code view does wonders... *drool*).
I find it odd that it took you 36 hours to set up XAMPP, when I install it it's usually: run the installer, install everything as service, start it and it works tongue

Now, for the PunBB environment: just create a new site (in the site manager); pointing to the folder you PunBB is stored in wink Nothing more really...

And for the config file: config.php. You'll need to change (for a non-modified XAMPP) the hostname to "localhost", the db user to "root", the db pass to blank ("") and maybe change the DB name, although you can keep that the same (if you just export your DB on your host and import it locally). Only thing that needs changing then is the base URL.

Hope it helps, if you need more help (be it with Dreamweaver) you can contact me on MSN (elbekko@gmail.com) or Skype (elbekko - but don't call) smile

I'm pretty sure PunBB can be easily modified to use HTTP authentication, but you'd lose some stuff that is in the cookie =/

Not my choice

Cookie dependency, silent failing if not enabled

It's impossible for PHP to detect if cookies are enabled, unless you check if the cookie is set after logging in.

Float "CSS layout" (not a good way to create a page layout)

I personally like the way the CSS is done in PunBB. It's perfectly valid and works just fine.

XHTML instead of HTML (easy to change tho)

What might be the problem here? XHTML is the new standard that should be used everywhere.

CSS to verbose & fragile (difficult to integrate into an existing site design)

It's quite easy to integrate IMO. The only thing you can screw up in PunBB is the text colour =P

OK, I seem to have found it (was alot easier in 1.5).
Go to about:config and search for
pref.privacy.disable_button.clear_formdata
Set it to true by double-clicking it.

Then go to Options > Privacy. Check the box next to the new field "Remember what I enter in forms and search bar".

There you go smile
