Search options (Page 2 of 5)

Suggestion: It'd be cool if there was an option to allow non-admins/guests to see masked IP addresses (such as bots that are defined by ips/sub nets).

Also as suggested, it'd be nice to have the option to allow guests to see who is online/not.

Great extension btw

Sounds like a cool extension. I'll test it out once it is further developed

I installed the extension but it isn't working for me for some reason. I tried some html within the code tag but it didn't color highlight it.

You can add into the body{ } the background element, in the css file, like this:

body{
     background: url('/images/StripePink.jpg');
}

As for the text description and logo stuff I forgot what I did to hide it.

If your serious about customization of the forums I suggest using Firebug (Firefox plugin): www.getfirebug.com

It will allow you to easily find the css attributes of elements that you hover over which can be very useful.

Example: Hovering over the top area I find it is called #brd-head. So editing the HTML directly with firebug I put:

<style type="text/css">
#brd-head{
    background-color: #ff0000;
}
</style>

That would turn the top blue area red. If I actually liked it that way I'd copy that code and paste it into /style/Oxygen/Oxygen_cs.css

Once you play around with the tool, you'll find making changes is really easy. I did my own forums this way.

As for the logo in your header area open up include/template/main.tpl and edit your logo to be below this (line 14):

<div id="brd-head" class="gen-content">
    <!-- forum_skip -->
    <!-- put logo here -->
</div>

It works great! Thanks!

When I go to say this url: http://forums.site.com/tag/7

I get the error:

Notice: Undefined index: has_posted in /home/.../.../site/search.php on line 313

The mistakes were pretty small. Both pages have an extra </div>. Find this <!-- end #content --> in your code and delete one of the </div> elements before it for both pages.

SuperMAG, I was looking for an extension that did this as well but couldn't find one. Instead of writing an extension (which would be my first for this version of PunBB) I modified the code a bit in index.php (after line 204):

Replace this:

        if ($cur_forum['last_post'] != '')
            $forum_page['item_body']['info']['lastpost'] = '<li class="info-lastpost"><span class="label">'.$lang_index['Last post'].'</span> <strong><a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['post'], $cur_forum['last_post_id']).'">'.format_time($cur_forum['last_post']).'</a></strong> <cite>'.sprintf($lang_index['Last poster'], forum_htmlencode($cur_forum['last_poster'])).'</cite></li>';
        else
            $forum_page['item_body']['info']['lastpost'] = '<li class="info-lastpost"><strong>'.$lang_common['Never'].'</strong></li>';

With this:

        $lpid = intval($cur_forum['last_post_id']);
        $query2 = array(
        'SELECT'    => 't.subject',
        'FROM'        => 'topics AS t',
        'WHERE'        => 't.last_post_id='.$lpid
        );

        $result2 = $forum_db->query_build($query2) or error(__FILE__, __LINE__);
        $cur_topic = $forum_db->fetch_assoc($result2);
        
        if ($cur_forum['last_post'] != '')
            $forum_page['item_body']['info']['lastpost'] = '<li class="info-lastpost"><span class="label">'.$lang_index['Last post'].'</span> <strong><a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['post'], $cur_forum['last_post_id']).'">'.$cur_topic['subject'].'</a></strong> <cite>'.sprintf($lang_index['Last poster'], forum_htmlencode($cur_forum['last_poster'])).' on '.format_time($cur_forum['last_post']).'</cite></li>';
        else
            $forum_page['item_body']['info']['lastpost'] = '<li class="info-lastpost"><strong>'.$lang_common['Never'].'</strong></li>';

It's a bit messy/not optimized as I haven't created/messed with SQL queries involving joins in quite some time (line 68 of index.php).

If someone wants to provide the code necessary to include the subject from the topics table into the SQL query on line 68 that would be great.

Or, if someone wants to write an extension for it, here's some starting info:

Since the hook below is on line 211 (which is right after where the info is put together for # of topics/posts, and last post):

        ($hook = get_hook('in_normal_row_pre_display')) ? eval($hook) : null;

It would be possible to modify the variable forum_page['item_body']['info']['lastpost'] and re-order the time to be after the person's name (eg. "topic by name on date") and put the subject title where the date was (default = "date by name").

Sounds like a great debugging tool. I think once more and more extensions are made for PunBB it will be extremely useful.

Ok. I fixed it. The problem was using the old JavaScript code:

document.login.submit()

I modified it to document.getElementById('login').submit() and it fixed the problem. I uploaded the fixed version over the old zip file. Apparently when I tested it, somehow I was able to login with the old JS code in Firefox by pressing enter (though the login link didn't work), and I was totally unaware of the problem.
