hey Trance, I think you can hide IP information by the following:

in viewtopic.php

REPLACE

$user_info[] = '<dd>IP: <a href="moderate.php?get_host='.$cur_post['id'].'">'.$cur_post['poster_ip'].'</a>';

WITH

$user_info[] = '';

Note that there should be two replacements total in 'viewtopic.php'.

Thanks Connorhd;  I didn't see that post.   There is a key difference between my code and the one you found, though, in that my code only uses one MySQL query, whereas the code you found uses three MySQL queries and is less efficient.

It's not clear to me how to formally make a mod package (hopefully someone else can do this if interested), but I thought some people might be interested in posting Topic Title info to Last Post field on the main forum page, like I have set up at http://brainmaps.org/forum

There are 2 steps, both involving "index.php"

STEP 1:

REPLACE:

$last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'">'.format_time($cur_forum['last_post']).'</a> <span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['last_poster']).'</span>';

WITH:

$last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_forum['last_post_id'].'">'.$cur_forum['subject'].'</a> <span class="byuser">'.format_time($cur_forum['last_post']).'  -  '.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_forum['last_poster']).'</span>';


STEP 2:

REPLACE:

$result = $db->query('SELECT c.id AS cid, c.cat_name, f.id AS fid, f.forum_name, f.forum_desc, f.redirect_url, f.moderators, f.num_topics, f.num_posts, f.last_post, f.last_post_id, f.last_poster FROM '.$db->prefix.'categories AS c INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON c.id=f.cat_id LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') WHERE fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1 ORDER BY c.disp_position, c.id, f.disp_position', true) or error('Unable to fetch category/forum list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

WITH:

$result = $db->query('SELECT c.id AS cid, c.cat_name, f.id AS fid, f.forum_name, f.forum_desc, f.redirect_url, f.moderators, f.num_topics, f.num_posts, f.last_post, f.last_post_id, f.last_poster, t.subject FROM '.$db->prefix.'categories AS c INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON c.id=f.cat_id
LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t ON f.last_post_id=t.last_post_id
LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') WHERE fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1 ORDER BY c.disp_position, c.id, f.disp_position', true) or error('Unable to fetch category/forum list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

Ok.


I have employed yabb se and invision powerboard in the past (phpbb I tried, but did not like) and have always enjoyed hacking the code for customization purposes.  In fact, the board at http://brainmeta.com/forum is based on invision powerboard.   PunBB is so small and light that it should be fun tinkering with the code.

hi Connorhd.  Nice to meet you.  Just checked your site at http://www.mirc-chat.net/ .   There appears to be a big spam post by "dttdf" on the front page.

So why remove the link back to PunBB ?

you're right.  It's back up.    In general, I don't like placing "powered by [PHP, MySQL, Apache, Flash, CSS, XML, etc....]"  on a website because it may distract the attention of visitors from the site content.  However, having a "powered by PunBB" message is not too obtrusive and may serve to bring some attention to an excellent, albeit underappreciated and not well known, free php-coded forum.

I added a link at http://brainmaps.org/index.php?p=links too

I don't expect the forum to be very popular, but am hoping it will be useful nonetheless.

I've used many other boards; PunBB is very sleek and very nicely designed.
