Nice except your forum is giving me the brush off

An error was encountered

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch post info
Database reported: Unknown column 'u.active' in 'field list' (Errno: 1054)

I think he means that PunBB will be integrated into web pages that are already protected by the sites own membership system. That being the case anybody who gets to PunBB must already be a member of the site so PunBB should automatically treat them as logged in members or admins as appropriate.

As for the skins, just delete the unwanted .css files and the skins are gone.

I tried and failed to do this with PHP v4.32. Someone told me that parameters couldn't be passed to include files like this because the "?action=active" part just gets treated as part of the filename which results in the same errors being experienced here.

One table, two columns and the inner table gone.

<table class="punmain" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4">
    <tr class="punhead">
        <td class="punhead" style="width: 185px; white-space: nowrap"><?php echo $lang_common['Author'] ?></td>
        <td class="punhead" style="white-space: nowrap">
            <div style="width: 20%; float:left"><?php echo $lang_common['Message'] ?></div>
            <div style="float:left"><?php echo $lang_common['Pages'].': '.$pages ?></div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

I don't run into this problem too often because I tend to use an altered version of PunBB which doesn't use cellpadding or cellspacing for borders. It also doesn't use styling on the <tr> tags which are mostly redundant and has only 1 nested table. It does however use a lot of multiple classes on the same element though that is actaully supported by all modern browsers.

In this case if you put the background colour on TD.punhead you can eliminate TR.punhead alltogether. Or, if you realy want to start optimizing things then there are always descendant selectors. Put an id on the TR tag of puntableheader, remover all references to punhead, declare a selector TR#puntableheader td {} with the background and colour settings to suit. You can now remove all references to punhead from the table header <tr> and <td> tags on all pages, replace punheadcent with puncent and delete class TD.punheadcent.

I never thought of doing that. If thats how people are using subscribtions then being able to produce a quick list showing all of them starts to look like a very useful feature.

No. You are right. Stay tuned I think I may have the answer.

[EDIT]

Tried and failed. The only way to do it with no extra styles is to put punhead in both.

If it were upto me I would have "Pages" the same colour as "Message" in which case the inner table could be eliminated altogether. Incidentally, "Pages" is virtually invisible in the sulfar style, at least to my old eyes.

Could this have anything to do with there being two forums installed for different languages sharing a common membership and presumably a common cookie?

I have just checked my cookie_domain on my own PC and on a remote server. In both cases my settings are the same as yours.

I was thinking more of an extra link "Show your subscribtions at the foot of the page after the "Show your posts" link. The unscribe all function could just be a button added to the search results page which only shows up when viewing suscriptions.

A primitive solution but couldn't you just add a "Show subscribed" search. You could then jump from the search result page to a subscribed topic, unsubscribe and then jump back to the search results page. Not a true management system but at least you get a list of all subscribed topics as an aid to memory and navigation. If you couple this with an unsubscribe all option that should make life a little easier

Even better tonight was the woman who received an item of furtniture as an inheritance without having a clue what she was getting. It was valued at £100,000.00

And the advanced tab extension so you get close buttons on individual tabs etc.

MarcB: If you want to toggle the history pane on and off like IE then just customise the toolbar to include the history button.
