I was poking around on phpBB (yuck) and found someone working on a Facebook connect mod... http://forum.developers.facebook.com/vi … 18#p140118
There's also an API guide that may be of interest to anyone who might work on such an extension for punBB: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=630563174283
If he had the skills I'm sure he would have already done so.
Too true. I'm no code monkey, I'm mostly limited to html/css as I am a designer. 
I've been using http://disqus.com with Facebook connect for my blog, and it's great. I'm actually quite surprised the extension hasn't been released yet, you'd think there'd be demand for it with social networking be dominated by Facebook.
Sorry for the bump but I just wanted to express my continued interest for the development of this extension. Facebook is just getting more popular, so it would be very valuable for forum admins.
Sounds very interesting and potentially invaluable to forum admins who have to compete with Facebook for screen time.
I'd want three things: 1. The option to link existing punbb accounts to facebook accounts. 2. I'd also want the facebook login to be optional. 3. Don't override the punbb usernames with the Facebook login; so a user would be able to have a forum screen name too.
No more suggestions?
HTML in a feed can be very valuable IMO, you can easily export to a blog for example. Could this sort of thing be done with an extension? (I'm not aware of the limitations of the extensions API)
I tried the above hack and it didn't work. It just broke my RSS feed and gave me an error; the browser didn't even want to read it. Could you give us your extern.php file? Perhaps we did something wrong?
Oops forgot about my own post over the holidays.
I'll give this a try and report back. Thanks for the tip.
I'd like an additional "Announcement box" for custom html and scripts. I tend to use the announcement box for scripts and other stuff, but it would be nice to reserve it for actual announcements etc.
Another idea would be a forum specific html "Announcement box".
Agreed. The stats tracking extension he did for me works great.
Hey I was just wondering; is there anyway to translate the BBcode used in posts to html for the RSS feeds? It's the only issue I have with using the RSS. You could easily import forum posts to blogs etc if the BBcode didn't get put directly in the feeds.
Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks!
Works like a charm! Thanks so much for your time and help. Hopefully this will also come in handy other punBB administrators too.
Here's my stats code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://include.reinvigorate.net/re_.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var re_name_tag = "{$forum_user['username']}";
re_("*******");
// ]]>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("*******");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
pageTracker._setVar("{$forum_user['username']}");
</script>Ok getting an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/httpd/vhosts/untitledimage.com/httpdocs/forums/header.php(51) : eval()'d code(13) : eval()'d code on line 1Oh... you want to use PHP on it... let me see what I can do.
Ahh I had a feeling the extension didn't allow php. Thanks again for your help. Here's the code I want to use:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://include.reinvigorate.net/re_.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var re_name_tag = "<?php
echo $forum_user['username'];
?>";
re_("******");
// ]]>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("******");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
pageTracker._setVar("<?php
echo $forum_user['username'];
?>");
</script>Thanks so much Garciat!
Quick question. Does this code still work with 1.3.2? It doesn't seem to be working with this extension. 
<?php echo $forum_user['username']; ?>I'd like just a simple extension that would put a text box in the admin settings where I could paste whatever custom stats tracking code I want (Google Analytics, Reinvigorate.net etc) and it would be embedded before </body>. I'd love you forever if someone could put this together. Seems simple enough; I just know enough about coding to break things, otherwise I'd attempt to make it myself.
Thanks!
If you want Reinvigorate, replace:
'extensions/easy_google_analytics/manifest.xml' with this file
'extensions/easy_google_analytics/lang/English/easy_google_analytics.php' with this file
Cool thanks! I don't suppose this would work at the same time as Google Analytics though, I see you just added Reinvigorate as an option. I use reinvigorate too because it's got real time tracking. I was originally thinking of a standalone mod of the extension or a separate Reinvigorate settings box that would allow the use of both stats services simultaneously.
Thanks!
If you add this to the Google tracker code you can track your users by name in the "User Defined" report. Very useful:
pageTracker._setVar("<?php
echo $forum_user['username'];
?>");See example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src=\'" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js\' type=\'text/javascript\'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("{TRACKER}");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
pageTracker._setVar("<?php
echo $forum_user['username'];
?>");
</script>Think you could also make a version of this extension for reinvigorate.net tracking? I can't imagine it would be too hard modify. I would mod it myself if I knew a bit more about how to code.
Here's the reinvigorate tracker code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://include.reinvigorate.net/re_.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var re_name_tag = "<?php
echo $forum_user['username'];
?>";
re_("TRACKER ID GOES HERE");
// ]]>
</script>Thanks.

EDIT: Just found the old version on Google and got my forum back online. How will I avoid this next time I try to upgrade. Thanks!

Thanks.
It's pure CSS customization, I didn't change any of the forum code. I inserted the header image as a DIV background image, and made sure the DIV was sized to fit the image. I also had to hide the text header with "display: none" on those DIVs.
I just finished a banner graphic and have the CSS about where I want it. 
Thanks
I'm running 1.3 RC with all the latest hotfixes, however the error was there before I installed the most recent hotfix.

Currently used extensions: pun_karma, pun_extension_reinstaller, pun_repository, pun_bbcode, pun_topic_online_users.
Any ideas?
