Hi

how can i allow anyone reading the punbb to be able to sort by forum name or last post.

at the moment my bb is sorting only by forum name

is there a mod which gives the user the freedom to sort by simply clicking on the column etc ..

Thanks

Ok ... i understand ... i need to play around with the SQL database field ... mmm ... never done that before and wouldn't have a clue how to ....

i guess i'll leave it alone ... and juts live with the 64kb limit ...

Thanks you for your quick replies. Most appreciated.

One thing i love about punBB is the support /help is fast ..... and although am a novice and almost an idiot .... i don't get the shaft treatment unlike other BB's i've tried when i've asked for help

you guys are great ..

Thank you / Appreciated

i forgot to add ... the error message i get when i try submitting this 300kn post is the following

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /bb/post.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

mmm ... sorry ... maybe i did something wrong

i added a zero to the only reference i could find to post size

// Clean up message from POST
    $message = pun_linebreaks(pun_trim($_POST['req_message']));

    if ($message == '')
        $errors[] = $lang_post['No message'];
    else if (strlen($message) > 655350)
        $errors[] = $lang_post['Too long message'];
    else if ($pun_config['p_message_all_caps'] == '0' && strtoupper($message) == $message && $pun_user['g_id'] > PUN_MOD)
        $message = ucwords(strtolower($message));

and this is the error i got when i logged in as admin and tried to post a 300kb file

i assume 655350 is 640kb ??

pls help ... i know nothing about php code ... all i know is monkey see/monkey do ...

Thanks

Hi

i wish to increase the size limit for posting

Appreciated.

I really appreciate all you guys do and the long effort put in coding this stuff ...

Thanks

Thanks .... as this PHP thing is all new to me and i don't really want to go playing around and ruining everything i've done to date ... could you kindly tell me where this would be situated in the code to edit ... or is it a real messy thing ?

Thanks

Hi

have just installed PunBB and configuring it, was wonder if there was ever any chance of adding a file upload feature.

the reason is i luv PunBB and am using it as a quasi-article manager .... and would be nice for members/moderators to be also able to upload files to a pre-set folder ... so they can then link to them in the topics they post etc.

i think you get the drift.

this beats, having to post the topic and then using ftp manager to upload files etc etc ... it can be done in one swoop.

Thanks

Thanks again .. this worked also

Thanks Heaps Scott
it worked like charm

I forgot to ask a 3rd question

i wish to remove "user list" from been displayed in the top bar

how to do this ?

has anyone before worked on using PunBB as a quasi article manager ?

Thanks

Hi

i've just installed PunBB and love it ... however i have two questions.

I am using PunBB as a quasi-article manager and wish to further cut down minimise on it's features.

1. I wish to remove the bit that says "Newest registered user" as i don't want this to show.

2. Since there will only be a handful of moderators updating the forums, i want to remove the part that shows I.P address.

Please help / appreciated

Terry
