Search options (Page 15 of 19)

For this to work you need to have guest access for your forums.
When you search extern.php for "no permission" it returns

$result = $db->query('SELECT g_read_board FROM '.$db->prefix.'groups WHERE g_id=3') or error('Unable to fetch group info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
if ($db->result($result) == '0')
    exit('No permission');

Yes, you should delete the install.php I think.

As for the admin link:
PunBB sets a cookie that identifies you as admin once you logged in. That's why.

This is only safe until you get it working one day and overwrite your settings...
Better get your host to change the mod_security rules a bit

What exactly doesn't work?

It depends where you want it.

Probably after the closing

</h1>

in

$tpl_main = str_replace('<pun_title>', '<h1><span>'.pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_config['o_board_title']).'</span></h1>', $tpl_main);

is best.

For the logo, you can add your code here f.e.

header.php, line

// START SUBST - <pun_title>
$tpl_main = str_replace('<pun_title>', '<h1><span>'.pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_config['o_board_title']).'</span></h1>', $tpl_main);
// END SUBST - <pun_title>

around line 139.

The image could go here:

footer.php

            <p class="conr">Powered by <a href="http://punbb.org/">PunBB</a><?php if ($pun_config['o_show_version'] == '1') echo ' '.$pun_config['o_cur_version']; ?><br />© Copyright 2002–2005 Rickard Andersson</p>

line 109

That may be because 90% of the ads shown are in swedish. :)

With my very little understanding of this beautiful language I gathered that one reappearing ad invites me to learn taxi driving in Sweden.
And while this sounds like a dream to me I think that going 3000 kms for the lessons would kill my budget. :)

Nothing you can do about the language selection?

And, b.t.w., I think it's nice that you ask everybody if they'd be annoyed by ads but then again it's you who spends 1000's of hours into this project so I wouldn't be that scrupulous ;)

Although this has absolutely nothing to do with the topic :

print "Enter age\n";
$s = chop(fgets(STDIN,255));
echo "\nYour age is ".$s;

Dunno.
Most of it sounds good.
On the other hand, f.e. I've been using magic_quotes in some projects (not without additional security functions though) and thinking I'd have to *find* them all first is painful.
If you work on one or wo projects that's fine but if they go by the dozens it is a lot of work.
Plus, a lot of premade scripts out there require to have magic_quotes_something turned on. Will they all change in time?

Sure enough there has to be a break from time to time but I usually prefer to bring things up to date when I'm revising an old project for some reason anyway - not being forced to do it with all of them.

I guess while it's a good idea to clean up in general it will decrease the acceptance of the new version by larger parts of the community.
I mean, in our production environments we still use php4, and compared to what's to come in 6 the changes to 5 are minimal....

Same with safe_mode. I personally hate it, too many issues with writing/creating files but I know many web hosters stick to it as a basic means of security. They would not want to use a version that cannot do this.

Well, that's all future talk. Most of the people I know don't even use version 5 everywhere today...

I don't think you have another option than (I)frame.
Plus, the space you leave for the forum is pretty narrow.
It seems to work but you have to scroll endlessly and there are not even scrollbars.
Problem with that is if you make the frame wider it will most probably destroy the rest of the site layout....

I suggest you get rid of the right column and then you will have space enough to run your forum in a frame.

PS:
It would be easier to do it the other way round and incorporate the rest of your site into punBB. There are some mods helping with this. (miniportal, frontpage f.e.) Haven't tried myself but people seem to be happy the way they work.

Ohhhh Hurricane

Your link doesn't work.
