Hey everybody,

My PunBB website is up and running. Spitball! is two writers, myself and a partner, writing a screenplay live on this here interweb, and then releasing it into the public domain.

We're using PunBB for comments and also (hopefully) to get a dialogue going. I'd love for everybody to check it out.

cheers,

Thanks Paul! That was a tricky issue to search for, so I didn't pull up that thread. Solution fixed me right.

This is specifically NOT a problem with PunBB, but in its integration with my rather complex layout. I consider myself fairly handy with CSS, but I'm having trouble tracking down the source of this issue I'm having, so another set of eyes would be extremely appreciated.

My PunBB install lives at http://hellbox.org/sb/boards/

The problem is this: in my lefthand column I have a sticky-note looking field for displaying information that can be seen on every page of the blog. When you're logged in (which you can do so with the temporary log/pass: test/test--although I ask that nobody post with that login, if they are inclined to) the "punwrap" div extends to the bottom of the yellow box, which makes the punwrap div ridiculously tall.

I've tracked the problem down to the <pun_status> block of code, and likely the <div class="clearer"></div>--but any monkeying I've done with it has made the situation worse.

So, if anybody has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. If I stumble across a fix on my own (which, ideally, I'd like to do without modifying the static files) I'll post it here.

Thanks very much, and thanks Rickard for such amazing software. I've used other BB systems, and this is by far my favorite.

Oops--I was mistaken--I thought I read that you had used MT on the homepage.

Purely academically, then--would it be possible to have some scripting using the MDK to have MT (or, any blog software for that matter) send a command to PunBB asking it to create a new post in a particular forum, then return the id of the forum so that the blogging software could assemble a link?

Or, maybe the other way is easier, since most blogging software have robust api hooks, maybe I make a post in a forum, and any post by the administrator in that forum triggers a script that generates an entry in the blogging software with the title and body of the PunBB post?

Please pardon me if these questions are naive or if I'm missing something--I'm a web designer, but a novice with PHP and programming languages. I've been known to muddle my logic before :-)

Thanks very much for the help!

My apologies if this has been covered--I searched and didn't find something that answered this specific question.

I really like how Rikard has set up the PunBB homepage with MT linking directly to forums for comments. Is the code set up in MT so that it automatically starts a new forum for each post, or do you have to go and add it by hand and link it?

I want to do this exact thing, so any help would be very appreciated!
