Didn't think there was a movement to put on weight.

Hmmm...

Thanks.

I figured out that it was not accepting cookies for the subdomain, so I made the necessary change in config.php (making $cookie_domain = ''; into $cookie_domain = '.domain.com'; )

Is there anything else I should be aware of?  I think this it it.

So how do I authenticate on http://my.domain.com and when I go to http://www.domain.com/forums/ have it still be authenticated?

The reason I ask is that I want the customer control panel to be at the domain http://my.domain.com, but do not want the forums on the same subdomain.

Thanks

I've been writing code for a few hours, and I am just about friend for the day, but I want to figure this out, and then I will be satisfied for the day's work.

I have PunBB install on http://www.domain.com/forum

I want to be able to include the authentication on http://my.domain.com

I tried doing this using a absolute URL, but it came back and said:

"The constant PUN_ROOT must be defined and point to a valid PunBB installation root directory."

Even though that is a valid directory.

Thanks,

-Steve

If you're semi-decent with PHP, should be pretty easy.

This is great. The only thing I'm worried about is potentially having to re-install and re-do all the work I've done thus far on my forums once the update is available xD

That's why I'm waiting for 1.3 and not installing 1.2.10

Itching and scratching over here waiting for 1.3.

I'm surprised that this thread isn't more active.

Of course, no rush - it comes out when it comes out, I'm just pumped smile

I've always been interested in ajax since Chris Justus descrambled Google Suggest.  How does using a javascript wrapper like Connor is using affect search engine spidering?

Just curious - don't want to go that route and use a wrapper and lose the spidering capabilities

Looks like I am going to be waiting a little bit before I will do the development work I had been planning on doing pretty soon.

Seems like a regular forum, as the defaults.

Best of luck with the site.

Well, Looks fine to me in firefox with 1024x768.

Nice design there - you've almost got the colors down, seems like the need to be a lot darker.

Keep up the good work

Well, what kind of forum did you start.  A lot of the marketing of the forum has a lot to do with the content of the forum.

I have just converted my board at http://www.johnlennonforum.com to punBB. Although I opened the discussion to the moderators group and, later, in the open board for all the members to give their opinion, I still get a few members complaining about the change.

While I never expected to please everyone with this choice, I don't understand why people complain so much about something we do that we are really convinced was the best decision. Although they are only a few, I seem to be running out of arguments with some, to whom, in my opinion, it's all resumed to the fact that they were used to phpBB and nothing else.

I believe many of you have also been through this process and what I'm looking for is to have an open discussion on how to minimalize the side effects on members (and the board itself) of changing the software.

If we all share our experiences, maybe we can help all the others thinking about doing the same.

Thank you.

I have never had a development project that I have needed a forum until now, and I stumbled upon punbb, and fell in love. 

Maybe you could share the arguments that you have received, and we can help you make your arguments.  If there are features that aren't already part of PunBB that you would like, check out http://www.punres.org or submit a feature request here.

I am building a site right now that is based around the PunBB framework, and am able to add features easily.

Let me know, all of us here are able to help.

I agree, it does sound like a good idea to confirm the referrer, especially with something as delicate as email addresses/spam

You'll find that is a great, lightweight alternative, and flaxible application for integration if you plan on doing any.

I am already building a custom application I will share with (meaning the link wink) the community here.

Wow, is all I can say to that.  There are way too many people out there like that, and the most that you can do is ban them or try to identify proxies, etc.

Hi,

Need someone to create a Mod for me for my PunBB 1.2.6 for an added "About Me" description textarea field within the users profile. I will pay coder thru PayPal for this feature to be added. If anyone can help, contact me for further detail.

Thanks...

Hey, I can make it as well, if RuDeDoGg decides or cannot do it for some reason.  Let me know if I am needed as a backup

You might want to put this:

n3Twork wrote:
<?php
define('PUN_ROOT', './forums/');
require PUN_ROOT.'include/common.php';

before anything else in the document, including:

n3Twork wrote:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

How do you hide the members ip adresses?

I first thought this too when I first used PunBB tongue

You might want to try the "Admin Log" Mod, it logs all administrator/moderator access, and you can find it over at http://www.punres.org
