As am I... I'm not sure if I should start coding a "Mod installer" plugin for 1.2, or a "Best guess mod converter" for 1.3 XD I think the best guess would be the most loved, but it would probably be released around the time punbb 2.9 is (and it have bugs )

in include/parser.php line 383ish there's probably a missing ";" <-- end of line of code char. I can only guess though, post a copy of your parser.php, but only like 2 or so lines above and below 383.

Erm... name it? For starters, I could actually use something that resembles perl regex Array handling. Doing RLE on  data to "bypass" the memory limits of php.

php is a great tool to make a counter on your website, It's not a great tool to handle any amount of data larger then the average e-mail (without attachments ).

Meh, we all do it, infact I just seen a topic on some punbb code that is invalid xhtml when a user doesn't have an avatar (or something like that...).

I would suggest the DevBlog discussion involves what extra information is needed in the mod/extention headers. You can't stop someone from (not)? caring. You can't stop someone from caring and messing up once in a while. But you can tell people if you care or not In many cases it's impossible to verify the xhtml unless you have some sort of client side validator.

Yah, I've perty much given up on the preg set from php... The comparison code I'm using now is what you'd expect to see in C code. Using things like ($str[0] == 'c') for the most part. php's string handling functions are so darned weak ;.; They should just give us raw access to pointers, so we can actually write efficient code XD

if you want to add something yourself, to every page in a side menu, start by copy and pasting the theme selection from the profile.php code. I would start by making a theme.php page, and then on the side menu, forward the theme selection form to theme.php and redirect the user back to whatever page they were at once theme.php handles the request. misc.php has some code in it that forwards you back to whatever page you were at.

Hope this helps. I havn't seen a mod like this though.

Not sure about miniportal... the "front page" mod I use needs you to set the option in the actual file though (index.php). Somewhere near the top. miniportal might have an admin panel configuration though.

Try this on your "test forum"

1) install 1.0.1
2) make test posts and users and test the forum
3) upload only the 10_to_11_update.php
4) run the script
5) upload only the 11_to_12_update.php, etc... until you get to 1.2.14
6) upload the files/directories in the upload directory in the punbb 1.2.14 installer
7) Change file permissions as described in the 1.2.14 install directions
8) make test posts and users and test the forum

Couldn't you use a string type too, and escape the binary data? dono what the limits on string types are in mysql though

That data is stored on the database... I'm sure there's a user management related mod/plugin that let's you send an e-mail to all users (if that's what you want). If your talking about making your own mod, the just list the e-mails stored in the users table. If your looking for an easy way, search punres for a user management mod. I remeber hearing about 1 or 2 that let you send off e-mails to all registered users... forget what they were called though

PS: In a "vanilla" or original punbb install you have to click on each user in the user list, and then in thier profile you can see the info (if your an admin, I think if your a mod too?)

SomeCgiScript.cgi

#!/usr/bin/perl

$numArgs = $#ARGV + 1;
print 'Thanks, you gave me '.$numArgs.' command-line arguments.'."\n\n";
foreach $argnum (0 .. $#ARGV) {
    print "$ARGV[$argnum]\n";
}

print "\n\n".'Here\'s your environment variables:'."\n\n";
foreach $key (sort keys(%ENV)) {
    print "$key = $ENV{$key}\n";
}

In the php script get whatever data you need. Stuff for the database, etc... in perl parse the argvars.
The cookie set by punbb is just a number that references a row in the punbb database, that has I think uid, ip, cookie "id", and accesstime. I forget exactly though. You don't need to fumble around with the cookie though. in the php script get the vars you want to change and/or alter. in perl do the work, and in php parse the output and change any values.

The php's official docs on passthru list a few alternative ways to call external applications.

If you wanted to use the example above and then access the database in the perl script, you will need to write your own database access code ($db->Function isn't official php, it's punbb's own db layer). Give me a few and I'll edit to include some info on the database records

EDIT --

Looks like I was wrong. Guess the cookie doesn't work like I expected it too. Anyways, you don't need the cookie, if you already have the uid

Just incase you rename the file:

<form blah action="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>">

$filename = $dir . "./lists/" . $name . ".lst"; // $filename = "./lists./lists/".$name.".lst" remove that static "./lists/" :P

//path of lists directory, absolute or relative to this script
$listdir = "./lists/";
//chdir($listdir);
//get list names
$lists = glob("*.lst"); // Maybe you want glob($listdir."*.lst")

  $name = preg_replace("./.lst$/", "", $list); // try preg_replace('/^(.*)\.lst$/', '${1}', $list)

And

print_r($_POST);
exit();

is great for debugging forms
