Hi all,
I am in the process of moving from sqlite to mysql. I have uploaded all data from the sqlite db to mysql.
The front page appears fine but when go to browse a board I don't see the number of replies, views, or Last post. Not only that but when trying to browse a thread I get:
Bad request. The link you followed is incorrect or outdated.
I have no idea on how to fix this!!!
The server is meant to go live later today, so any help anyone can offer is appreciated.
ok will do.
Should this perhaps be changed for 1.3? (or even could it be added?)
hmmm in register.php I can see where it checks against a banned email, but not a banned username.
ahhh. thanks.
I'll look at that and see if I can create a mod to check on guest posting then.
Some found some spam that has just got past Akismet, but I'm not sure why. However the following appeared:
gusetname: buy levitra
with a usertitle: Banned
I thought that banned username meant that they could not use them again?
The username definitely exists in the bans list, but with a different email address and IP.
using punBB 1.2.15
inline javascript means it is included with the html of the page, as opposed to being separated out into an included javascript file.
keeping it separate makes it easier to maintain, and use in differing places if required .
LOL
No new files have been uploaded for a while, and hopefully the other 2 admins don't get that easily embarrassed 
aye, but could someone have found a loophole to do this?
if it happens to no-one else, then it could just be a one off error, which is obviously what I hope it is!
Strange one - yesterday I found the byUsers punBB forum set into maintenance mode.
I didn't set it, the other admins didn't set it, so what could have caused it!
Rather than telling you...
go and have a look at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
followed by
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php
as it may be needed.
and if that doesn't help, ask again!
What features has the CMS got included by default?
Can categories be created to store sub pages?
has it got a built in search facility?
maybe a full list of features would be nice... or even a demo!
doh!
Thanks for pointing that out - I should have checked what section it was in!
I've just completed a manual upgrade from 1.2.14 to 1.2.15 and seem to be unable to get out of maintenance mode!
[edit - sorted, amended the cache_config.php file]
Secondly, I tried to do a manual sql change to alter the database to add this :
ALTER TABLE online ADD UNIQUE INDEX online_user_id_ident_idx(user_id,ident)
Which I translated from the substitution required in the install.php :
$queries[] = 'ALTER TABLE '.$db_prefix.'online ADD UNIQUE INDEX '.$db_prefix.'online_user_id_ident_idx(user_id,ident)';
But the syntax appears to be incorrect - according to SQLite Manager
I am using sqlite, which may or may not make a difference.
any ideas on how to do this would be appreciated.
Rich: I will get in touch with you once I have my test board re-established.
Now that I am actually punBB on a regular basis I'll have a bit more understanding on things, so that should make assessing things easier.
Good point about the voice commands, I hadn't thought about that one. Fortunately, its only one line of css and all the hidden items are in one block so its easy enough to make stuff visible. This unfortunately is one of those cases where trying to help one set of users is detrimental to another.
Totally agreed, and I'm glad that it is just a small CSS change. So long as that is documented, I'd suggest leaving it for individuals to decide if they want it removed or not.
There will always be cases that can't be covered, they just need to be minimised as much as possible without detrimental affects to others.
- Link text improved to avoid links with the same text pointing to different locations e.g. where the menu for a post says "Quote" part of the link is hidden using the accessible "off left" technique. What screen reader users actually hear is "Quote post 6", "Quote post 7" etc.
There are some people who navigate via voice commands, to choose/activate a link they speak it. Unfortunately the technique you have mentioned probably won't help them as the link on the screen is all they have to actually reference the it.
Having said that, having all the extra bits on screen might not be practical for most of the styles. Maybe it would be worth considering having a theme which does list the links in full specifically for this sub set of users? Alternatively, inform people how they can remove the 'off left' style to create their own theme to accomplish this.
Also, if you need more feedback you'll have to send me a link to go and review things, I lost the one that was sent to the GAWDS list.
1.3 is supposed to have greater accessibility features than current versions.
ok thanks, I'll look at modifying it for my needs.
Could someone confirm how this works?
I have enabled it on my forums due to some idiotic posting by a few people, and so far it doesn't appear to work.
However I did see a comment that it might only work in topics started *after* it was enabled? Is that correct? and is there any way to back port it to all topics?
I tested as a guest, and it worked when starting a new topic, but not when replying to an existing one, hence the reason for my question.
yes... could be done but how about something for you?
PunBB - developed by the good guys, installed by idiots
erm... maybe not :grin:
Seriously I'd suggest leaving something in there, even if it just another link back to punBB.org
missed it first time !
lean and mean ?
why not install akismet to handle the comment spam?
Can I agree with your girlfriend?
:grin:
I recently installed 1.2.14. I'm on these forums primarily because I may need help in the future, and will try to help out where I can myself. the more I learn about punBB the easier modding it becomes...
Works in Opera 9.02 under WinXP
I just hope it doesn't require a large install - but looks good. Just hope I can figure out how to use it, and how to write the extensions manually as well!
only after the timeout has been reached, which will mark all non read posts as being read (at least i think that is how it works).
It looks like what you are after is being coded into 1.3 (Rickard gave up and added it because of the amount of requests for it)
