Search options

Oh, I see.

However, the 90 secs was an example, and ideally it would be an option. Also, it's trivial to make image.php send a cache header to the browser

But so ok, I see no one's probably going to be willing to make this core functionality but would be it be possible to insert a few text fields into the user pref's page without touching any exisintg files?

Yes I've seen the bug but forgive me if I'm wrong but don't you use your own socket code to transmit emails if an smtp server is given? mail() should only be being used if that's blank, and yes, in that case it would be neccesary to alter the line breaks

edit: a ha, I see what's going on. you use a generic wrapper that then either calls mail() or smtp_mail(). prehaps the following...?

        // Detect what linebreak we should use for the headers
        if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3) == 'WIN'))
                $eol = "\r\n";
        else if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3) == 'MAC'))
                $eol = "\r";
        else
                $eol = "\n";

        $headers = 'From: '.$from.$eol.'Date: '.date('r').$eol.'MIME-Version: 1.0'.$eol.'Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit'.$eol.'Content-type: text/plain; c

        // Make sure all linebreaks are CRLF in message
        $message = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", pun_linebreaks($message));

        if ($pun_config['o_smtp_host'] != '')
                smtp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
        else
                mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

to

        $eol = "\r\n";
        $headers = 'From: '.$from.$eol.'Date: '.date('r').$eol.'MIME-Version: 1.0'.$eol.'Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit'.$eol.'Content-type: text/plain; c

        // Make sure all linebreaks are CRLF in message
        $message = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", pun_linebreaks($message));

        if ($pun_config['o_smtp_host'] != '')
                smtp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
        else {
                // Detect what linebreak we should use for the headers.
                if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3) == 'MAC'))
                        $eol = "\r";
                else if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3) != 'WIN'))
                        $eol = "\n";

                $headers = str_replace("\r\n", $eol, pun_linebreaks($headers));

                mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
        }

Bit late to join this topic I know, but I too would like to see this feature implemented.

Anyway, there's an easy solution. You make a wrapper, say image.php, that accepts a userid as a variable (image.php?uid=123) and then you simply query the databse for the user, fetch the url specified for their avatar then within image.php you download the image, check it's size etc and if all is well, you display it.
Only thing is this adds the extra bandwidth usage of the server having to retrieve the image, then send it to the client whereas a direct url would have it downloaded from the remote server. Would make a nice option in the CP though

But if no one on the core team is willing to do this then....
Would this be possible with a mod? I've not played with punbb's mod system but is it possible to manipulate the user "Personality" pages? so I could insert a text field or 2. also is it possible for a mod to add extra options to the control panel? (note, by mod I mean using an API, not by patching files)
If there's a decent mod API I'd be happy modding this.

PS, you could make it so the first time a url is is specified it's downloaded and cache'd locally.
