Re: Integrating with external application (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
As I said I've been playing around with it a bit.
I could not find a native set cookie command for a soap server but you can add cookies in whatever language you are using and they arrive at the client.
The annoying part is that the soap client is not the web client so you have to pass two cookies back and forth....
Asfor the arrays: I don't know what you mean with arrays but you can always use a ComplexType with a series of values.
It is standard and it is at least handled by PHP.

Re: HELP WITH MYSQL (1 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
So if you have a DB then you don't need privileges to create another one.
You do need the privileges to create tables. And I bet you have them because otherwise your database would be useless.
If in doubt contact your host about it.

Re: Integrating with external application (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
I would forget about the extern.php.
I thought of it more as a guideline on how to interact with the PunBB system.
I am just sitting on a PHP/SOAP interface to PunBB that will be able to do a lot more than extern.php, like fetching topics, forum lists and so on and even allowing to post.
That way PunBB could serve as a backend only and everybody could do what he (and she 
) wants on the frontend.
Of course it will always be a subset of the PunBB functionality but if you don't need more it will do the trick.
I am not sure how far I can take it, currently I am stuck with the cookies. There is no really good explanation on handling cookies with soap/php.

Re: Question About Releasing Mods (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
However, there is always punres.org.
I for one think it is more user friendly to have all mods available in one place.
After all the mods are an important factor that contributes to the good reputation of PunBB.
Now, if everybody has his own mods (and, Paul: Her mods as well! ) on separate sites it will be more difficult to find the right thing.
What is a good idea though is to have a place on your site where your mods are discussed a bit more in depth or wher people get encouraged to write their own.
My opinion....

$result = $db->query('SELECT user_id, ident FROM '.$db->prefix.'online WHERE idle=0 ORDER BY ident', true) or error('Unable to fetch online list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());to

Re: Say me all 1.2.8 working plugins ! (11 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
There are dozens of mods, nobody maintains a central list of them so you'll have to contact the authors - or hope that they will all reply here. Which I bet they will not, at least not all of them.....
You're right in that there should be a list.
However, at the speed Rickard currently spits out new versions it would be impossible to keep track of things I guess.

A.f.a.i.k. ther is no SDK, the only thing coming close to that is extern.php .

Re: Threaded/Nested Messaging (12 replies, posted in Programming)
Yes,
typing all the dummy entries is totally boring and takes too long.. 
So, table structure (which I have now) and 20-30 sets of data (representative if possible, yu know, with nested levels, answers to answers and so on...) would be kind.

Re: Threaded/Nested Messaging (12 replies, posted in Programming)

Re: Threaded/Nested Messaging (12 replies, posted in Programming)
You are right about the $sb.
I told you, a rough sketch it was...
Otherwise it should work, I cannot see a problem.
If you can't get it running send me a dump of the structure and at least 20,30 entries to play with so I don't have to make a dummy database. This will take the most time for solving this I assume.

You want to show all avatars of all logged in users on the frontpage?
Do this:

if ($pun_user_online['user_id'] > 1)
$users[] = "\n\t\t\t\t".'<dd><a href="profile.php?id='.$pun_user_online['user_id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_user_online['ident']).'</a>';replace with
{
if ($pun_config['o_avatars'] == '1' && $pun_user_online['use_avatar'] == '1' && $pun_user['show_avatars'] != '0')
{
if ($img_size = @getimagesize($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$pun_user_online['user_id'].'.gif'))
$user_avatar = '<img src="'.$pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$pun_user_online['user_id'].'.gif" '.$img_size[3].' alt="" />';
else if ($img_size = @getimagesize($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$pun_user_online['user_id'].'.jpg'))
$user_avatar = '<img src="'.$pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$pun_user_online['user_id'].'.jpg" '.$img_size[3].' alt="" />';
else if ($img_size = @getimagesize($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$pun_user_online['user_id'].'.png'))
$user_avatar = '<img src="'.$pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$pun_user_online['user_id'].'.png" '.$img_size[3].' alt="" />';
}
$users[] = "\n\t\t\t\t".'<dd>'.$user_avatar.'<a href="profile.php?id='.$pun_user_online['user_id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_user_online['ident']).'</a>';
}But it looks really ugly I think.....

Re: Little fun Idea.. :) (16 replies, posted in General discussion)
I agree.
I think in the long run it will inevitably lead to PunBB vs PunBB light, the latter missing all the real cool geek stuff.
This is not what Open Source is about imo.
However, Linus Torvalds is not an exceptionally poor man from what I know, meaning:
The profit you gain from OS development is always an indirect one. Somebody might have no clue how to install and pay you to do for it. Or somebody may invite you to speak at a congress because you are the mod wizard.From this income you can always donate a share to the project that enabled this income.

// If there is a last_post/last_poster.
if ($cur_forum['last_post'] != '')
$last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'">'.format_time($cur_forum['last_post']).'</a> <span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['last_poster']).'</span>';and change it to:

I asked Rickard for that and he said (and he is most probably right there) that once you do that everybody wants his/her/its language to be included. The multi-language download system will do it more efficiently: http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=8957

What I love about PunBB is that it does not fall for everybody wanting his favourite mod to become a feature
No offense meant, but f.e. I see no use for a PM at all, never did and never used it anywhere. So I really appreciate a board *without* it ....
I don't mean to start a discussion on how useful a PM is, it's just an example.

I will however not translate the downloads page here at punbb.org. Keeping that things up to date with multiple language versions will be hell. If people are unable to navigate to the downloads page and to find the file to download, so be it.
That shouldn't be the problem. The word "Download" is widely understood...
Also you can have sites in the respective languages linking directly to the download files.

I would have thought that when it comes to documentation, like the language packs, that would be down to the good will of translators. If people want to provide non English versions of the documentation I doubt anybody is going to try and stop them.
I think that internationalization requires more involvement of the community anyway.
I translated the documentation to German and that took me 5 hours. Not too much for an average life span.
I believe the key is just to make all these versions easily accessible. That would imply that either there is somebody responsible for each language on PunBB.org who takes care of an up to date documentation and the lang files - or everybody who wants makes up his (@Paul:I really mean "her" ) website to promote that language. This is now the case for Poland, Russia, France and Germany.
This way takes load from Rickards server as well as responsibility.

As I said: I already did it for 1.2.8 and it would be no science to adapt it for 1.3, so do not worry about that.

Topic: PunBB Internationalization (7 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
There is one thing that doesn't leave my mind for a while:
I think that PunBB would win a lot of popularity if it would be available in several languages.
And I don't mean the possibility to install language packs, I mean everything:
- Download page
- Installer
- Default language
all in the tongue of those interested.
The reasons why I think this would be a step ahead for PunBB:
1. There are many people out there who don't speak english, or not well enough
2. Even for those who do it is more convenient to have the interface in the language they speak natively.
3. Why should one go through all the procedure in English when his board is meant to run only in French/Spanish/Kisuaheli?
Think of all the big Open Source projects like Firefox or OpenOffice: They are available in the most exotic languages.
I wrote a German installer for PunBB and I was surprised how many people downloaded it although my site is new and not known too well yet.
(In Germany phpBB is the big thing, and VBulletin because ... they are available in German....)
My idea was:
- A system where a user can chose the language for "his" PunBB. The system will look if a corresponding download file exists already, if not create one by adding the wanted language file to the source and compress it, then deliver it for download, keeping a copy for the next person asking for it. No big magick.
- A multi language installer basing on language files like the rest of PunBB.
It exists, I wrote it and sent it to Rickard.
He does not seem to hate the idea, so what do you all think?
