PunBB uses sha1 if available, else falls back to md5. These cannot be decrypted, so your only option is to modify the IRC server so it uses pun_hash() to check the passwords. You can also modify this function to use an encyption of your choice, ofcourse.

It is true that they cannot be decrypted, because of the nature of the hash encryption algorithm. Although MD5 has been said to no longer be secure so it's 'better' to use it's successor SHA-1. Which is basically what PunBB does. However MD5 passwords can be reverse engineered. An example of a web site which allows such functionality online is gdataonline.com. The better the password complexitiy, the better the "security" you'll achive.

More information on the MD5, and SHA-1 algorithm's can be found here: MD5 / SHA-1

I don't see anything wrong with it. IMO, it's a nice full blown mod of PunBB. then again thats my opinion.

Yeah, I'm aware of extern.php the only thing is, is the format that it outputs the data in. I'd rather it be like the News Generator plugin. I guess if all else fails, I'll just integrate the code into my index and have it output on its own through MySQL.

Did you read the linked thread? It's not the standard extern.php presentation.

Ah, no, I assumed (not good) that it was just the standard extern.php. I will indeed check it out. Thanks.

Cool beans, elbekko. Nice work.

So here's my 'problem', I can't think of how to automate the News Generator plugin so that it'll automatically generate the news file when a post is added, deleted, or modified, etc. has anyone else developed a way, or know of a "work around" to make the plugin automatically generate the news instead of manually having to do it each time? I think I've seen some posts about using a cron job, but I don't think it'd be _possible_ with the way it's setup currently? correct me if I am wrong though. Any help is much appreciated.

<3 search.

Exactly what I was looking for. After seeing it, my brain started to function again. Thanks.

Oh, and does it only happen to me that photoshop always wants to close when i press CTRL+Z? =/

Thats weird, in all the years I've used Photoshop I've never had that problem. Nor have I ever heard of anyone having that problem.

Have you tried a reinstall? maybe it got jumbled when you installed it, I don't know, worth a shot perhaps.

Also, thanks for the positive feedback guys.

Hello,

I've created a PunBB "userbar" (350x19px) which at the moment are somewhat popular with users of forums. It seems like everywhere I look, they are around so I figured in support for PunBB I'd design one myself for PunBB users.

Enjoy.
