Great Idea!

But for me personally... I have trouble keeping up with PunBB.org and PunRes.org among other sites that I regular post or view at. So having a third which will not contain all 'POSTS' from both the important sites for PunBB.

Sadly I cant see it being a regular for most users.

I'll add a changing ID for it then you can make it change however you want with css smile

That would be superb.

I have a request also...
In the userlist.php... what is the chance of having another column with PM in? So that users can just click on userlist and PM link to send them a message. I understand for a PM it?s only one more click away by clicking on the person's profile. But u no what people r like... they want the shortest route...

Second request...
When you send a message to someone, its not always convenient to type the name in. Is it possible to produce a list box that has all the current users? I understand this would not be good for people with 100's or 1000's of users. But I personally have 20 and will probably not top 100 (as restricted).

Did I post requests in right place?

Oh by the way.... TOP MOD!!! wink

Couple of quick boring questions?

1. When was the first (Pun) wink released?

2. Very boring and pointless. But what did it look like? I am curious of what the first Pun release looked like on screen. Any old screenshots you may have? or even the code?

Cheers people.

Coming from a new user... (ME!)

I started with 1.2.6 now running 1.2.9.
Skipped 1.2.7 and 1.2.8.

Question is??? when is auto-update coming along wink

Not 100% sure on that one.

But it does work... On my test forum with PHPBB conversion.
Produced a 'Test' group... then through a persons profile added them fine.

I rcv both the php links that you do... after the last one it goes back to page straight away and is updateded.

*** Maybe someone else can help you with this error... over my head.... ***

BUT... if you need an alternative.... (This wont benefit if you gain users reguarly and change groups for people often)
You can change it in your mysql database by changing the corresponding user on the 'Group ID' field in the 'Users' group.

To find out the corresponding number for your new group. Check out the 'Group ID' group.
Standard is 1=Admin, 2=Mod, 3=Guest, 4=Members
Any new ones created will start from 5... <-- This is probably the one you have just created.

I thought that would work with your code but I have not made any progress. Any ideas?

You have a couple of problems in that code... If you copy mine (previous post) straight into your .css file then it should work fine. It will be off position but that is what you play with...

DIV.icon {
    FLOAT: left;
    MARGIN-TOP: 0.1em;
    MARGIN-LEFT: 0.2em;
    DISPLAY: background-image; <-- wont work... not even a CSS command I believe.
    BORDER-WIDTH: 0.6em 0.6em 0.6em 0.6em; <-- I am guessing this will need to be changed to 'none' because I am pretty certain this will cover your pic. I could be wrong.
    BORDER-STYLE: solid
}

Check this link out... I have changed the code slightly so a image always shows up. Instead of my usual image only if new post. But it shows that the code works.... and yes the little pic is not straight I know. Testing phase!

http://www.marine-hunters.co.uk/mhmain/forum.php


Plus this is guidance mate... You have to tweak a couple of other things if you want everything to sit perfectly. Especially if you change the size of the image above...20v20 for example.

My guess would be a fresh database for PunBB...

Because I am pretty sure that the convertor cannot convert a DB then delete any unwanted or unused fields. I maybe wrong...

Secondly... Would it not just be easier anyway... especially if you have problems with the conversion or something you need from old DB.

no, its not that, the problem is the database settings are wrong.

Correct!

I have had this error before too... I am pretty sure mine was because of me mis-typing either the mysql server connection or the password. One of the two.

Hi - will this be made available for PUNBB 1.2.9? I tried to instal it, but on the installation screen it said it would only work on 1.2.6 - 1.2.7 - 1.2.8

Are there any other solutions for adding an image to a post other than this script?

It works fine for my 1.2.9. You have to change the install_mod.php file so it will allow you to install on 1.2.9.

Is the code missing anything? It doesnt seem to work for me.

Doh!

Try playing with this in your stylesheet.css

/****************************************************************/
/* 10. POST STATUS INDICATORS */
/****************************************************************/

/* 10.1 These are the post status indicators which appear at the left of some tables. 
.inew = new posts, .iredirect = redirect forums, .iclosed = closed topics and
.isticky = sticky topics. By default only .inew is different from the default.*/

DIV.icon {
    FLOAT: left;
    MARGIN-TOP: 0.1em;
    MARGIN-LEFT: 0.2em;
    DISPLAY: block;
    BORDER-WIDTH: none;
    WIDTH: 20px;
    HEIGHT : 20px;
}

Sorry about that.

No problem wink

I am going through the files trying to figure out how to place my own unique image to the left of each Forum. Presently there is a small grey box... Do you by chance know where this is located? Thanks. - Chris

I used this code below in stylesheet_cs.css... loacted in style/imports/

/****************************************************************/
/* 5. POST STATUS INDICATORS */
/****************************************************************/

/* These are the post status indicators which appear at the left of some tables. 
.inew = new posts, .iredirect = redirect forums, .iclosed = closed topics and
.isticky = sticky topics. The default is "icon". By default only .inew is different.*/

DIV.icon { background-image: none}
TR.iredirect DIV.icon { background-image: none }
TR.iclosed DIV.icon { background-image: none }
TR.isticky DIV.icon { background-image: none }
TR.inew DIV.icon {background-image: url(/forum/img/folder_new.gif) }

This shows nothing until there is a new post and then it shows a new post icon.
Hope it helps...

I would like to delete the table that shows "Newest Registered User, Guests Online etcc...". I could not find this file in main.tpl and when I deleted the footer it did not affect that particular table.

I personally deleted this straight from index.php...or forum.php as what mine is now.
Dont know if best way... but cleanest way for me.

chmartin1 wrote:

Also I want to delete the Title and Description which I did in main.tpl but when I did it still leaves a gray blank table above the nav links - anyone know how I can get rid of that?

This is because your deleting the data and not the div's made for them.
Delete

<div id="brdtitle" class="inbox">
            <pun_title>
            <pun_desc>
        </div>

Hope this helps or gives you some guidance...

Not in the config file but in the admin. Change Base URL.

Thanks. Will have a go at the weekend...

Quick question.

I currently working on a new site and is located at www.domain.com/forum

Should I have any majoy problems when moving it to www.domain.com?

Thanks...
I am hoping its just a quick change in the config file and thats it. But why do I think its not that easy.

Have a look at how quick post is displayed viewtopic.php.

Sorted!!!...

Doh! My mistake... just looking to hard I reckon.

I have a page (i.e. ranks.php) where I display all the posts from a particular topic (Topic is hidden in normal forum view).

The query I have....
How do I add an option to add an extra post to this particular topic without moving from my page.

Any questions then ask away... me not to good at explaining things.
Thanks...

Here is a couple I am after....

1. Shout box (Simple block for front page, uses PunBB user ID and DB backend, with admin option to clear all posts) This is a simple one to make in theory, just time consuming.

2. I am after a re-work of the profile page. i.e. when you look at someones profile.

Just give me a quote?

Connorhd - I dont think he is asking anything...

He is stating that if you need to show something on the PunBB board and current host only allows little uploads or restricted uploads. Then badongo can supply a service with 500mb upload limit.

Well thats how I see it. I could be wrong.

I personally use FTP and have access to my space, so not an issue....

Integration... I am not so sure.

Trying to get a free plug... I think so.

Had a quick look and way to much effort for anything half useful and not even staying with the same trend of PunBB. Lightweight...
