Now, how about getting users to register/visit/participate in the site? Any recommendations there from the more experienced forum admins?

theadminzone.com is always a great resource for that sort of information.

Take a look at the (original) script's official home.

Also, is there a variable I can use instead of using the background-color etc..for example can I or is there something else I can use like $bg_color etc..

No, there is not.

H2 on its own won't get you block headers; look at some of PunBB's markup to see what will.

Have you tried editing your include/template/main.tpl as described in the miniportal tutorial on wiki.punres.org?

I found Mark topics as read 1.1.3 and install_mod.php tell me:

You are running a version of PunBB (1.2.15) that this mod does not support. This mod supports PunBB versions: 1.2.5

Is it safe to remove the check from install_mod.php and install it?

Yes, either modifying or removing it will be fine.

Yes - see the documentation's information about extern.php.

PunBB's minmax.js contains a workaround for IE's lack of min/max height (I believe it's in style or style/imports); there's also a script called IE7 that contains a workaround for the same purpose and others.

There's also a mod by binou to allow admins and users alike to subscribe to forums.

It works that way by design; "unread posts" aren't marked -- "new posts since your last visit" are.

The upcoming version of PunBB (1.3) will mark "unread posts" instead.

A recent post from Smartys might help you out.

Moved to integration.

Can you use a PHP-based feed parser like SimplePie?

what if YOU don't want your watermark to show on your site? wink

You might be able to write a rewrite rule / condition pair that upon hits from a "foreign" referrer passes the filename of the image as a parameter to a PHP script that automatically watermarks it. You'd need to implement some sort of caching to keep your server from being hammered.

If you have some sort of image upload system on your forum, you might instead modify it to save both an original image and watermarked image upon upload, and write a rewrite rule to reflect that.

You may manually merge the new version's changes with your modded files using the hdiff.

You might try Puntal.

This isn't a feature request -- or at least it isn't a feature request with hope -- so I'll be moving this topic to modifications.

.htaccess-based protection works on a per-directory basis, so as long as the directory that contains your signature image is not protected, you should be fine.

Why do you need separate templates for the English and Swedish menus? Are you simply presenting the same menu in two languages or do the two menus feature drastically different content. If the former is true, you can add new lang file entries.

The admin plugin, not the installer. The mod's archive ought to have a plugin file that you can upload to the plugins directory.

This is not possible with a plugin, and you've already asked elsewhere.

Very cool. The icons in the username and password boxes are a nice touch. smile

Which is one reason not to depend upon Javascript.

Also, your above example assumes that a bot will care about the NOSCRIPT tag. It certainly isn't obligated to.

Your code will probably work (for the time being) due to its obscurity, but spambot authors are always adapting their work.

You must remember that the client isn't at all obligated to do what HTML and Javascript instruct it to do. If that client is a spambot, it probably won't.

Check out the integration documentation and the search box topic.

Please email Connorhd if you have a question for him.

In style/imports/base.css find

/****************************************************************/
/* 7. VIEWTOPIC SETUP */
/****************************************************************/

/* 7.1 This is the basic structure. */

DIV.postleft, DIV.postfootleft {
    FLOAT:left;
    WIDTH: 18em;
    OVERFLOW: hidden;
    POSITION: relative;
}
    
DIV.postright, DIV.postfootright {
    BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 18em;
    BORDER-LEFT-STYLE: solid
}

Edit both parts that say 18em, if I'm not mistaken.

No, there is not.
