Removing PUN_ROOT could cause some trouble once your include/requires' need to include or require other php files in some sub directory. for example:

www-root/simple_test/login.php
\--> include('common/db_layer.php')

www-root/simple_test/common/db_layer.php
\--> include('errors/db_errors.php')

www-root/simple_test/errors/db_errors.php

The above list ~should~ work fine on any server, but...

www-root/simple_test/sub_folder/index.php
\--> include('../common/db_layer.php')

www-root/simple_test/common/db_layer.php
\--> include('errors/db_errors.php')

www-root/simple_test/errors/db_errors.php

db_errors.php will not be found, it will be looked for in www-root/simple_test/sub_folder/. With that PUN_ROOT stuff prefixing each include, in sub_folder/index.php you would set PUN_ROOT to "../" and it would work fine. This won't be a problem if you don't use sub-folders for the viewable pages

You could just delete the files, and replace every part of the code that has something like $lang['Blah'] with the text in the language of your choice. It will be much harder to translate your files into other languages though, and you might just end up adding that stuff back in if you ever do decide to support more then one language. I can only guess at what the etc... stuff is generally speaking though, if it's in there, it's there for a reason. This is especially true for punbb, which sports low CPU usage in comparison to other forum systems.

You can do this already, can't you? You just get extra results with your search, and have to "manually filter" out the results that don't show your target author in the "by <author>".

Presumably, this would be easy to add as a mod/extention... wait a second...

If "search in" is "topic subject only" shouldn't that only return author results of the subject? (ie: only authors of that topic, and not authors of posts in that topic). ATM it doesn't, but it ought to, no?

Use punbb login/session data.

I recently wrote my own sessions manager (for guests+logged in users), You have a lot of stuff to worry about. Broken load-balance routers that make connections from two different IPs on the same session. SNAT routers that use the same ip for multiple users. Cookie stealers who can use the same generated cookie data as a current session. The list goes on. Use punbb as a registration and login method, and then integrate your other parts of the web with punbb's login.

I'm currently going the other way around (on this current project of mine), for various reasons particular to the project. I've also managed to finish the "session management" part of it in about a week Ok... well 3 good days of reading and coding

If your set on too much extra work, read the php docs on session_start() session_id() and session_regenerate_id(). Also, overthink about what to do when there are 2 session id's from different IPs, what to do about timeouts, how many types of timeouts to have. In mine I have "createtime" which is initialized once, "modifytime" which is changed each time it's "modify_timeout" seconds old (it also regenerates a new session id; generally done every 5 minutes to minimize the chance of a packet sniffer on the same SNAT stealing cookie data and hijacking a session), and "accesstime" which is changed each page view and after "acces_timeout" the user is marked as "idle" for too long, and needs to reverify his/her password, and after "delete_timeout" that session data is completely removed from the session table in the database. Now don't forget about what to do at login (ie: delete any sessions with the same user id; incase someone's session was hijacked, etc...).

In short, use punbb session handling, and login handling so that you don't have to think and worry. Use your own if you want to learn how to be a crazy mo fo, or where using punbb's wouldn't be allowed in the GNU GPL licence.

chmod 0777 on the cache directory (in your ftp program).

After you visit the admin panel and hit "save options", you should be able to chmod to 0755 however I recommend 1777 if you ftp program/server supports it. The "1" or sticky bit basically lets punbb write and rewrite to it's own files, but only it's own files. Google it if your up for a read.

Erm... (Mac HW+Software = proprietary) == reinvent the PC (IBM made this HW public source, for the most part at least), reinvent windows, reinvent Xorg; Proprietary means that the R&D resources used up to create a product have to be repeated for each additional group entering into production of said good.

If car designs were no longer proprietary, the cost of a car would be the cost of the physical resources used in it's production and the cost of the time & expertise resources used to produce the car.
At the moment car designed are proprietary, the cost of a car is the price a person is willing to pay for said car, usually much higher then the cost of production.

To prove this is true... The cost of a pair of socks are the cost of the physical resources used in it's production and the cost of the time & expertise resources used to produce the pair of socks. (designer socks are excluded, of course )

I would prefer that the cost of socks, a car etc.. also include the cost to replace the raw resources taken from the environment (metals take thousands of year to get compressed into metal, although I admit I don't know the full details), the cost of the use of said product to the environment (gas is not good for the atmosphere), and the cost to recycle or dispose of the car once it's no longer in use (some of the metal can be recycled, other parts, like the fiberglass, or parts that have high exposure to certain chemicals cannot be recycled).

Not trying to be a tree hugging hippy. I just don't think the moon base will be set-up in time for the coming ice age, and I'd like to be a great, great, great, grandfather some day (even if I'm dead).

I ran away from windows around the time of .net 1, and haven't run into any .net based config panels for games I play, so I figured I'd go on the aggressive Apologies to the punxs dev team

Does punxs run on wine is my greatest concern. Java, or wxwidgets (Even MFC, since MFC is a wrapper for the functions that wine already supports) would have been a much more OS independent way to develop punxs Guess I'll wait till there's a binary download to try it out.

1) Make a new forum section labeled "news"
2) Make a post in it
3) view that forum (not the post, the forum)
4) At the end of the address bar is something like "id=5"
5) now copy that "5" as the first parameter in the call to pun_news
6) The second parameter is the number of news posts you want displayed
7) Dono what that last one is, leave it at 0 I guess 0.o

AFAIK that is invalid bb code. Some bb code parsers won't even accept it. Sides, to make the above bb code valid in any case with the least amount of effort you would have to close and reopen all html tags every time a new bb code is found... something like this: "[ b ] [ / b ] [ i ] [ b ] foo [ / b ] [ / i ]". Course the more complexe the invalid bb code, the more complex the resultant outputed html code.
