Topic: HowTo: 'Report Post' also possible for guest users? (0 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Is there a way and what should be done if I want to allow guest users also to be able to 'Report' a post?
I've already looked within the files: viewtopic.php and misc.php
but I cannot figure out what exactly should be done.
Any help is appreciated!

Great, now what do I have to do to parse it the good way, so topics show up in recent block?

For those still having trouble, I finally figured it out. The code should be:
<?
include ('http:www.site.com/forum/extern.php?action=active');
?>
but the trick which no one mentioned was the fact that your index.html page should be changed to index.php
that'll do it.
Nono,.......you are misunderstanding the thing I want.
The way you've included the 'show recent topic' does also works for me, as long this concerns a standalone website/webpage outside the punBB forum.!!
The problem I encounter is how to include this recent topics block WITHIN the forum itself. If I use this include extern.php or RSS function it doesn't work.
The fact that it doesn't work for you doesn't make it any less correct extern.php is what Rickard uses for the homepage.
If I use it on my homepage, which remains within a different folder, this function works also correct. Point is, how to get this function also work WITHIN the forum (forumdirectory) itself. Putting up a sidebar within the forum to get an overview of recent posted topics.
Let me give you an example:
If you surf to: http://www.adoptietrefpunt.nl/forumbord/
you'll see on the left a block which shows an overview of recent done postings. This block is held within the forumscript and directory itself. And this is exactly what I would like to realise.
Now if you surf to: http://www.kunstpodium.com/portaal/ (it's a testpage made with CMS Xoops) you'll see I've included the extern.php within a block of that website and it works. If you click on a topic within that block you get tranfered to another directory: http://www.kunstpodium.com/punbbforum the place where the forum is held.
Within the punbbforum you see on your left some blocks. (realised with part 2 of doku:http://www.punres.org/doku.php?id=tutorials:miniportal#part_2:adding_a_sidebar)
The last block is the one with the header 'recent'. How do I get here always the last posted forum topics visible? If I make use of the extern.php (include funtion) it doesn't work.
Hope you now understand in what I mean.

Re: Some Newbie How-To's Questions (16 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Nobody has an answer to my first question? :
How to realise to show the last 10-15 posts within a sidebar block within the forum itself. Actually the same as seen on http://punbb.org/ , but now within the forumsidebar itself. ??
The extern.php include code doesn't work within the forum itself and allow_url_fopen is enabled.
Any suggestions?

Check phpinfo(), see if allow_url_fopen is enabled
Ask your host if they have blocked including remote files.
Yes it is open. Punbbforum and the website I am talking about are on the same webhoster with the same environments. The include part as mentioned below (extern.php) works within the website without any flaws. So the problem has to be somthing else. If I look around several topics, I see more users stumble into the same problem I encouter.
Isn't there another work around to accomplish this piece of work?
Thanks for the given support and explanation(s) considering the page question. I'm gonna fuzz the upcoming couple of days and see where it brings me!

Re: Some Newbie How-To's Questions (16 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I had checked extern.php. already and this piece of code works as long it concerns another website. (have it active on another website, no problems) But this extern code doesn't work within the forum itself.
When I put:
<? include('http://mywebsite/forums/extern.php?action=new'); ?>within the new created sidebar block within the forum it doesn't show me anything.
<div class="block">
<h2 class="block2"><span>Recent Posts</span></h2>
<div class="box">
<? include('http://mywebsite.com/extern.php?action=new'); ?>
</div>
</div>Obviously I am doing something wrong but cannot figure out what.
2. You would add the link to the navbar on top using the Additional Navlinks. The "template", I assume, is the basic structure of the page: you just fill it with data
Where do I have to put the newpage.tpl file?
I know how to add a text within the navbar from the adminsettings. But how do I call the template page up? < a href=" ?????? "> so it shows the page? How should the link look like?

Topic: Some Newbie How-To's Questions (16 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
To be honest, I am getting lost within all the different forums/categories and docu's. Despite using the search and surfing&reading around, somehow I cannot seem to find what I am looking for .. or otherwise don't understand the given explanation(s).
Therefore I am going to ask my questions within this topic, with hope to get some understandable newbie help.
1). How-To: Adding Sidebar:
I managed to realise the sidebar tutorial (part 2). The only thing I cannot seem to realise and don't understand is how I can get to show the last 10-15 posts within a same sidebar block. These posts needs to be forum id independent. Actually same as seen on http://punbb.org/ , but now within the forumsidebar itself.
The only thing I know I've to put within main.tpl another block. But that's about it.
<div class="block">
<h2 class="block2"><span>Recent Posts</span></h2>
<div class="box">
[i]What to do and put here to get them showed?[/i]
</div>
</div>Which code has to be applies within other files, I haven't a clue.
2). How-To: Implement own page?
Within that same tutorial I see at the end: New page template.
Great, but I haven't a clue what I should do with it. What does this template do? Where to upload it and call it within a link.
Question: How do I create my own page and implement this page within the forum lay-out as stated above (miniportal part 2) and call it up with a link?
I hope somebody can help this newbie step by step on these questions.

Standard theurl BBcode is self. Which isn't very handy. Users fly away if they click the url.
How and where can I change this into target = blank?
