There is a rather good tutorial here
http://codewalkers.com/tutorials/53/1.html
It contains all the information, including complete code for a image gallery mod. It doesn't deal with file uploading or restricted access etc but that is something for the PunBB end of things.

I will have a look at autothumbnail.

You have to think through exactly how you want it to work before you can start thinking about how to do it. For example

1. Upload images to a separate directory using the attachment mod method.
2. When someone posts a picture and uploads a link will take you to the picture. Now, is that one large picture on its own with a link back to a thumbnail gallery or would the link take you to a thumbnail gallery.
3. If you are going to use a thumbnail gallery where is is linked from. No point in linking from individual posts, a simply link at the top of the board should do.

See what I mean. Working out the way you want it to work is probably the most difficult bit. Once you know exactly what you want to do the rest is just code bashing.

That was a waste of time. He seems to have installed Invision on a page all of its own.

True. Another solution is to base the front page of a website on a template like main.tpl. Everytime a news item is added via PunBB a new static webpage would be generated from the template incorporating the latest news update. Anyway, I am off topic as usual. I think the original poster wanted exactly the opposite didn't he though I think that using PunBB to post news items is a better solution than using a news script to post PunBB topics.

You should bear in mind is that you can run multiple scripts from one database. All you have to do is make sure when you install them you specify a prefix for the tables to prevent attempting to create more than one table with the same name. For instanace you could install PunBB with a prefix of "pun" and then install a blog script with the prefix "blog". Things only get difficult when you try to integrate the login system i.e. so the blog uses PunBB's login/membership system so users don't have to login seperately for the blog and PunBB. Hopefully someone else can point you in the right direction for doing that.

The other option is modding PunBB to use topics as news items and replies to them as comments but that requires quite a lot of work. In particular you would have to be able to set permissions for individual forums otherwise anybody could post a new topic which would appear as a blog/news item. I think there are already some posts around here about using PunBB as a news system.

Because some of us are using PunBB specifically because it doesn't have a bloated feature set. If PunBB came with Polls, Private Messaging and various other bits and bobs time would have to be spend ripping them back out. There are of course mods which simply improve the functionality of existing features which could be incorporated.

Thats better. Layout looks fine.

Two little things.
First, here in the UK we spell it CENTRE. (I keep doing the same thing, it's spending too much time coding in American that does it).
Second, isn't it going to get confusing for search engines having two sites called PunBB Resource. Having two sites decicated to PunBB I don't see as a problem, but having them called the same thing might be.

P.S. Why are my posts showing up in Swedish time  (GMT+1)

Interesting, so he just converted an IPB Skin to a a ready made portal. Well I suppose thats one way of doing it.

Thanks for the name change. A whole new image at the press of a key. I wish real life was that simple.

And I will take Paul before anybody else does.

This is interesting stuff. It occurs to me that post vetting as is being worked on would also be useful to anybody who wanted to develop news/articles/tutorial mods where it was also essential that submissions were vetted prior to making it onto the board.

BTW: exactly the same thing happens if you leave out the closing comma.

I just had an idea.

if (!isset($lang_common))
    exit('There is no valid language pack \''.$language.'\' installed. Plese check $language setting in config.php.');

The whole of en_common.php is one array. If there is an error in the array then $lang_common will not initialise so isset($lang_common) will return false. Sorry for the non technical input, I'm no coder, but that looks to me like the commonsense explanation. Would the answer be to initialise $lang_common at the top the language file before getting to the array?
