There's a giant open space between the left navigation bar and the news in Firefox 2.0 beta 2.

I believe that what he meant was that such a change would be beneficial to extension development, not that it would make a good extension.

Very cool. You're using PunBB in an interesting way.

Like Smartys said, you can use the hdiff to upgrade, and like Rickard said, 1.3's extensions should be a solution to this problem. I seriously doubt that any changes will be made to 1.2.x aside from bug fixes, so it's probably best to sit tight and be satisfied with the hdiff until 1.3 arrives.

Regardless of GPL issues, I think there are some points you should consider:

a) PunBB is free forum software. While I'm certainly saying neither that this obligates you to make mods free as well nor that all PunBB are unwilling to pay, in general I think that PunBB users would be less receptive to paid mods than users of paid software such as IPB or vBulletin, especially with the number of free mods out there.

b) What are you going to do if someone develops a free alternative (which seems likely)? Even if your mod is vastly superior to the other one, your market could still rapidly evaporate.

c) Some potential users (especially younger ones) won't have access to the means to pay or will feel uneasy making a payment.

d) I don't see any effective way to keep people from sharing bought mods with each other.

Like oliversl said, you might be able to get some nice donations. In addition, if you put together a nice "mod resource" with the mods free but still exclusive to the site you might be able to scrape up some earnings through some ads. Also, you might be able to charge to make some custom tweaks to your mods. Finally, while I personally am not particularly fond of this approach, you could require a linkback in your mods and charge to waive the requirement (that would be quite hard to enforce though).

Of course, this is all purely theoretical - just something to think about. Whatever route you choose (as long as it's legal under the GPL), I'm fine with it.

Easy BBCode should be simple to add. I believe the topic about it here has instructions somewhere on how to do so.

In that case, I think your best bet would be to update your PunBB files manually with the hdiff, if possible.

The link to the user list can be found within the generate_navlinks() function in include/functions.php.

The last registered user code can be found within index.php.

EDIT: Forgot, you don't need to do every modification over when you upgrade your forum, simply use the hdiff linked to on the downloads page (if you don't know what that means, go to the downloads page and click the link to see it - it's pretty much self-explanatory).

In the past I've just stuck with C:\php, but right now I'm using C:\server\php

AlanCollier:

No, it does not send email notifications.

Yes, there is a French mod (of the PM System mod) to add email notifications. I don't have the link handy right now, but if you search Punres for "email notification" (in the forums, not the projects list), you should be able to find it.

Moved to modifications.
