Hey bingiman, I saw your post on my site before I saw it here. A slight change to include/blog.php is the difference. You can download it here for now. Just overwrite the file and you won't have tags closed twice. It's a minor issue so I won't put it on punres until I get some other stuff done.

Topic: function to close tags works too well (3 replies, posted in Programming)
I'm using a function based on this one to close open tags when truncating a post. It works great, too well in fact. It closes all tags, not just the ones which aren't closed.
The post if first parsed using the PunBB parse_message function then truncated to x characters and then close_tags is called.
This is beyond my understanding, if anyone can see why it's closing all tags, not just the open ones, it would be much appreciated.
function close_tags($string)
{
// match opened tags
if(preg_match_all('/<([a-z\:\-]+)[ >]/', $string, $start_tags))
{
$start_tags = $start_tags[1];
// match closed tags
if(preg_match_all('/<\/>([a-z]+)>/', $string, $end_tags))
{
$complete_tags = array();
$end_tags = $end_tags[1];
foreach($start_tags as $key => $val)
{
$posb = array_search($val, $end_tags);
if(is_integer($posb))
{
unset($end_tags[$posb]);
}
else
{
$complete_tags[] = $val;
}
}
}
else
{
$complete_tags = $start_tags;
}
$complete_tags = array_reverse($complete_tags);
for($i = 0; $i < count($complete_tags); $i++)
{
$string .= '</' . $complete_tags[$i] . '>';
}
}
// Removes the close tag for xhtml tags
$xhtml_tags = array("</img>", "</hr>", "</br>");
$string = str_replace($xhtml_tags, "", $string);
return $string;

Soonotes, can I suggest that you submit your code to the punres wiki - I'm sure others will find it useful. I wouldn't want to take credit for your code.
Not familiar with the wiki but if you think others will find it useful go ahead and submit it. Doesn't really matter who does it, just that it's there for those who want it.

Re: Help in modifying this topic sort order hack (9 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Something like this
Open admin_forums.php, around line 283 find
<option value="0"<?php if ($cur_forum['sort_by'] == '0') echo ' selected="selected"' ?>>Last post</option>
<option value="1"<?php if ($cur_forum['sort_by'] == '1') echo ' selected="selected"' ?>>Topic start</option>
Replace with
<option value="0"<?php if ($cur_forum['sort_by'] == '0') echo ' selected="selected"' ?>>Last post</option>

<option value="2"<?php if ($cur_forum['sort_by'] == '2') echo ' selected="selected"' ?>>Subject</option>
Now open viewforum.php and find around line 109

Re: PBB User Blogs 1.2 (13 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
Yes, it's currently allowing guests to comment on blogs in the 'general' category and not allowing guests to create their own blog in any category. I may have to disable guests comments though as some idiot going by the name futzer first left a comment asking about span and then left another one, since removed, which was spam.

Re: User Blogs as a Mod (3 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I will soon, probably a few days. It's coming along pretty good. I have a couple of issues to deal with for navigation and a bug or two with being fully validating xhtml. Other than that I will be releasing a 'beta' very soon.
I'm trying to cover all bases and don't plan to release anything until I am sure the only needed to go from the beta release to a full version will be to overwrite a couple of files and I still have of db columns to add.
Anyway, please check it out and let me know of any suggestions you have or any issues you think may come up. You can click on the link in my signature. There's a couple of usernames you can login with. All have limited mod priveleges and you can check out the user blogs plugin (this will be an admin plugin but I currently a mod plugin so you can check it out).
Usernames are test/testuser/blogger and passwords match.
Most of the links work now and feedback would be very much appreciated.

Not sure if this is the right forum but it seems the best fit.
I'm working on a mod to allow each registered user to have their own blog. If this has been done please let me know 
I've got the basics of it done but am having trouble with how to integrate it into the site. I want to leave the core files alone as much as possible and to work within the existing style of the forum.
To see what I have go to http://www.soonotes.com/test2/blogs.php
If anyone has suggestions please let me know.
