How can I center my images in the messages ?
I did not find any bbcode for that. I mean that  [center] [/center] is displayed as text.

I tried with some css  for img and .entry-content img in the css file, but to no avail.

margin:0 auto;text-align:center;

Can anybody help me, please ?

Thank you in advance.

My PunBB is 1.4.4 and the skin derived from Oxygen.

I use FancyStopSpam on my forums. And in case there still are unwanted registrations, I gave only minimum rights to the basic status of new members, and I upgrade manually, one at a time, the real persons to a member category that I created where they are at last entitled to use normally the forum.

Thanks, I will do so. I thought it would have been convenient and logic to be able to use the rules document without making it a compulsory part of the registration process. Other forums include such amenities.

Thanks for the answer, but no, it is not what I want.
I want to make the forum rules available.
But I do not want a compulsory check (acceptance) for registration.

Hi !

I cannot find how to display forum rules without making its acceptance a compulsory step in the registration.

Registration is already difficult with the mail validation step. And adding an other difficulty with the rules acceptance will be too much.

But I want to make the rules available.

If I call the link http://mysite.ext/misc.php?action=rules, the link is invalid.

How can I do this ? And what would be its link, so that I can add it to the menu bar ?

Thanks

You are already a member there, you even have admin rights.
I just restored the register link : I had tried fancy folder rewriting + file renaming, and it cannot work, apparently. So, i came back to default file name. But fancy folder rewriting is still enabled.
Thanks for the look.

Hello !
I just noticed that after implementing url-rewriting with the option folder/fancy, my attachments made with pan_uploader extension cannot be found anymore, after the url was modified
I checked about the files : they are in the uploads folders. But in the extension administration, no file is displayed, either in images or in files. Why did they disappear from administration ?
How can I make them available again ? Must I attach them one by one in every message ? But if I change again the url-rewriting system ... I will have to redo it once more ???

Okie ! I will check all the forums one by one. I just saw that at least one of them was enabled for writing rights for guests.
Up to now, I had just disabled writing rights in the guests group and I thought that was meant for all forums.
I had not understood whether there is a priority between settings for a single forum and settings for a whole group
Thanks a lot ! You are an angel for newbies.

Hello !
I got 6 spams tonight from guests and guests are not allowed to post. How is it possible ?
What can I do to prevent this ? Is there a leak ?
If I publish the link here, I could get more spam ...
My install is version 1.4.4 with sqlite 3.
Thanks for any advice

Well : display the pan_uploader icon in its menu bar ... and check if it still works with the sc_wysiwyg  extension.
When I installed sc_wysiwig, the bb_code menubar disappeared and with it the pan uploader icon.

Hello ! Could pan_uploader be used with sc_wysiwyg extension instead of pun_bbcode ?

After 2 days of testing, I can tell that the renaming stopped the spam registrations, while the url re-writing without renaming did not.

I tried with an other url scheme : folder based fancy. I managed to enable the url rewriting, but if I try to rename a file, I get a 404 error.
Where can I find a tutorial about url-rewriting in PunBB , please ?

Thank you. I did it ! I am always shy with url-rewriting. I tested the default scheme, and it has no effect to spammers, I will try the other ways.

Hello !

I would like the ability for the administrator to change the name of the sensitive files, such as register.php, login.php, post.php.
The spamming bots learns that when they meet a PunBB forum, they can send automatic registration requests with register.php. If they do not find this file immediately, the bot may quit the site and never come back. Moreover, if the administrator modified the file's name, a request for register.php can be only a spam from a bot and could be automatically banned by the forum.

I am no coder, but I have used such technics in other CMS. Please be so kind as to explain me if such an idea is stupid or dangerous or impossible or if such a feature already exists in PunBB or an extension.
Thanks for taking the time to read me.

PS : I know about captcha features to prevent spamming, it is not what I am inquiring about today.

Here are my first extensions translations to French : 14 for a beginning.
http://katryne.legtux.org/agora/viewforum.php?id=3

Files or images : I cannot use them, when trying to upload.

- Images : folders and sub-folders are created, the picture is at the right place, with the right chmod 644, but cannot be used immediately in the message, since the popup disappears and i do not know its address.
- Files : folders and sub-folders are also created, but nothing is uploaded and the folder remains empty.

URL is in your private message.

Add the @, but not change :
file is uploaded with correct chmod, but still cannot use it immediately in the post

With a new test, I see that the pictures are correctly uploaded with the right chmod : 0644. Great !!!!
But I cannot use them immediately, because the loading popup (the square with black background) disappears.
In order to use them, I must  fetch the picture url via ftp and use the image insertion icon.

I tried, but it does not work.
Here are lines 102 - 103 -104 now in my loader.php file

                    $new_image = $dir_of_image.$base_name;
                    chmod($dir_of_image.$base_name, 0644);
                    list($width, $height) = getimagesize($new_image);

I can choose the file in the loader, but it disappears at the moment when I click on the choosen image.
Then the folder is correctly created with the right chmod, but it is empty : no file in it.

Without this modification, the file is indeed uploaded, but it has a too low chmod (604)

My main sites and domains are hosted at 1&1 in a cheap shared hosting package.
The files created with a php command, such as the images uploaded with pan_uploader are granted a 604 chmod, which is not enough to use and display them. A minimum 644 chmod is needed and I found no soluce by the hoster help technician to enable it. But he spoke about the php command : CHMOD that I could iimplement in "my" script.
I tried to grasp what was explained there :  http://php.net/manual/fr/function.chmod.php but did not understand what could be done and where.  Remember, that I am no coder ...
Note : Chmod for folders are OK.

Hello !
Back with this chmod problem.
Is it possible to grant a chmod 644 to new files via a php command ? This could help me use Pan_uploader with my main hosting provider.

That is perfect, thank you.
Don't you think that this option should be the rule ? (I mean debug info visible only to admin)

I downloaded a 3rd time the whole site and launched a search with Handy File Tool http://www.handyfiletool.com/  looking this time for the letters "inscrire" and I found 2 more occurrences that had not been modified.

I finally got it ! How can I close or delete the topic ?
