Yo can use the "Extern.php News Extension" mod for this.

Find it at: http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=7552

Add that into extern.php and you can output some of the post as well. smile

I'm setting up a PunBB forum, but the width of the whole thing is very short (around 550px). To save space, I'm trying to change a few things in terms of layout.

Does anybody know how to do these?

1) In the viewforum area, remove the "Views" column altogether.

2) Have the area that displays the topic name longer (the Index » Forum name » Topic Name thing). For longer names, the break seems to be coming in earlier (considering the space available).

3) Reposition the 'poster information' bar so it appears at the top of a post.

Instead of something like this on the left:

    livatlantis
    Administrator
    Registered: 2006-04-12
    Posts: 2
    IP: 127.0.0.1
    E-mail

    Online

I'd like to remove that bar completely and have a line above every post that reads something like:

    livatlantis, Administrator (2): Online

I'm working on the forum locally, but if my descriptions aren't clear I could upload them to a public-access server or clarify what I mean.

I appreciate any help at all, thank you smile

Yep, in header.php, find this part:

// START SUBST - <pun_title>
$tpl_main = str_replace('<pun_title>', '<h1><span>'.pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_config['o_board_title']).'</span></h1>', $tpl_main);
// END SUBST - <pun_title>

And remove it. Or comment it, so you know what you've removed.

To comment it, change to:

/* This title part removed

// START SUBST - <pun_title>
$tpl_main = str_replace('<pun_title>', '<h1><span>'.pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_config['o_board_title']).'</span></h1>', $tpl_main);
// END SUBST - <pun_title>

*/

That should do it. There may be better ways, though.

So, if it's not Mob Rules, what inspires you guys? smile

Ship of Fools - do you guys take inspiration from Mob Rules?

As a metalhead myself, best wishes for the band smile

I apoloize if this is a little off-topic.

Avatars need to be enabled.

Standard way to do this:
Go to your Administration page, and then to Options. Scroll down to the Avatars block and there, set Use avatars to Yes.

You may modify the the max dimension and filesize configurations here as well.

Since I only downloaded the patch, I didn't get that particular file. I have to download the full package and extract that file.

It's in the update as well. Look in /extras, you'll find it there.

lol My first update! Hope it works out well (newbie, you see).

That's true. Maybe there could be a mod - If you turn of images, switch to border icon. Else, display image - sort of thing.

Anyway, I wanted images to fit my design. smile

I replace! It works! Thanks! smile

You can see it in action at http://www.powerofmetal.net/forum/profile.php?id=2
I editted for Messaging section and Name and Location fields.

Only AOL IM shows and there's no Location!

Great!!

Thanks! You've helped me a lot here smile

Right, thanks!

I'll use this! And post here if it doens't work out. I'm not very good with PHP, lol tongue

Uh oh, do I add or replace? Currently, it's this:

<dt><?php echo $lang_profile['Jabber'] ?>: </dt>
                            <dd><?php echo ($user['jabber'] !='') ? pun_htmlspecialchars($user['jabber']) : $lang_profile['Unknown']; ?></dd>
