Just finished testing this patch, it adds:
- support for migrating polls to EasyPoll mod
- support for migrating topic subscriptions to punbb
- it also clean-up the PM migration to Private Message System mod

I sended the patch to the author but his email account was not working (its closed), didn't knew if I could upload a file to the punres wiki, so I used a local wiki.

More info in:
http://www.linux.org.py/wiki/howto/migr … hpbb_punbb

I tested migrating phpbb 2.0.19 a clean version of punbb 1.2.12

the pools are not migrated nor the subscriptions info

Another thing that can help is this:
if a mod need to insert code (using an include()) at line xx in a .php file, that action can be logged in a central DB. Maybe a punres.org
So, if another mod need to add an incluide() at the same line, some sort of conflict resolution can be done at install time or at mod development time.

A warning can tell the developer that a mod is already at that line, so he can check for compatibility.
Then, the user can recive a warning when installing incompatible mods.

Just some ideas ... I know 1.3 will be a very big release, so I just look forward it.

Maybe some simple convention on writting mods can help.
I you mod needs to add a few lines of code in viewtopic.php, maybe you can insert a include() in viewtopic.php instead of 50lines of code.
For the hooks, punbb can check id there is a hook. If there is a hook, execute the hook, if there is not a hook, execute the original code. That way you don't need to convert to classes the current punbb.

lets use the format described in the first post please

Hi,
I just downloaded it, but how do I install it?

Do I need another mod to install this mod? The .zip file only have 3 files and no install.txt

Many thanks!
Oliver

Hi Smartys,
lets calm down a litle.

I understand your point about saving the passwords. No problem.

I edited my forum to support autocomplete=off, if anyone find it helpfull, they can read my first post and do the same.

Hi Smartys,
my point is that since IE is the most used browser, and it does not ask you to save your password, it might be insecure when people use IE in public terminals. thats all.

BTW, I use Firefox

another feature, will be to allow users to login in public terminals.
Think about this, you check your punbb forum from a friends PC, while traveling, while in another work workstation, and your login info is compromised.

Firefox ask you every time to remember your password, but Internet Explorer no.

So, this feature should give a more secure aproach to punbb logins.

I agree, it can be disabled or disabled/enabled per user login (using a checkbox like "I'm using a public terminal"), thats perfect for me.

All mayor: mozilla 1+, Firefox 1+, IE 5+
