Search options (Page 5 of 13)

Erm.. FYI I did this one a while ago, before my computer blew up (unrelated blow up, lol) and I disapeared for a while. A true "read posts" does come across some problems though.

make a table "posts_(un)read" with "user_id" "topic_id"

Now choose to either add a value for each uid, every time a new pid is made, since new pid = topic_id has new post (post_unread)
or choose to add a value for uid/tid pair whenever that uid sees that tid. (post_read)

1) Is slow to make posts, and will increase the DB size as the number of inactive users increases.
2) Is fast to post, but will increase the DB size as the number of active users increases.

I've got some work to do yet before I can post this mod on punres. I'll probably go with #2 and at a later date implement a "pruning" feature that auto-magically assumes post over <Admin option> days old are read (and therefor don't need an entry in the database). Let's an admin "tune" the post_read table for their particular user group. First priority is getting the MDT mod/plugin/toolset (not really sure what to call it anymore 0.o). Expect this mod in a month from me, but if someone else wants to make it, be my guess (FYI: when I did it, I completely forgot to look in search.php... if you plan on making this, look in search.php to display searched posts are either read or unread ). Also, if 1.3 doesn't have this, or doesn't have a way of doing this that I like, expect a 1.3 extention

[antiflameshield]PS: I didn't really read this whole thread, and I don't remember why I didn't use the Mark topics as read mod 0.o[/antiflameshield]

It was a 1 minute (ok, well i wasn't timing myself, but probably more like 5 0.o) 10 liner Supposed to get whoever does whatever for whomever getting wherever, somewhere soon x.X

Could add something like this to your crontab.hourly directory:

#!/bin/sh
# Update the topics subject when the posts in that topic get a match for solved, lower or uppercase

SQLCMD='sqlite /path/db.file.name'
SQLCMD='mysqladmin'

if [[ n`${SQLCMD} 'SELECT topic_id FROM posts WHERE message GLOB "*[Ss][Oo][Ll][Vv][Ee][Dd]*";' != "n" ]]; then
  TOPIC_ID=`${SQLCMD} 'SELECT topic_id FROM posts WHERE message GLOB "*[Ss][Oo][Ll][Vv][Ee][Dd]*";'
  echo do stuff like an UPDATE;
  SUBJECT=`${SQLCMD} "SELECT subject FROM topics WHERE id='${TOPIC_ID}'"`
  ${SQLCMD} "UPDATE topics SET subject='[Solved] - ${SUBJECT}' WHERE id'${TOPIC_ID}'"
  echo Just finished updating the subject of a topic to solved.
fi

1) Download PunBB 1.12.14
2) Unzip the files to a directory on your computer.
3) Look for a txt file and read the directions included.

yahoo doesn't have a public smtp server, or an smtp server for use with their free e-mail service, afaik.

Any smtp server for which you have access will do though. Does your ISP have an smtp server? Normally ISP accounts come with a pop based e-mail address. pop servers normally have smtp server. if the smtp server require authentication it can usually be accessed outside the ISPs IP subnet.

The are also countless smtp server out there, for which you pay a small fee and allow them to do your e-mail forwarding.

That mod already exists, doesn't it? It's called 50 moderators from different time zones

If you already had punbb 1.2.12 working on your website as a forum, you do not need the install.php file anymore. If you made all the required changes everywhere else, then you simply need to update your database records. Download the PunBB 1.2.14 (zip) from the downloads section. Unzip the files, and in it you will find an extras directory. Upload the 12_to_1214_update.php file to your forum webserver, and navigate to that address.

Good luck

Smarty, why not hook it all. If the request for said code to be hookable isn't made, then wrap that whole part in a hook. That way the next guy to want to use that hook could, at the very least, make partial use of it (Until such time as the specific part of the code he wants to alter is made hookable).

Hum, any punbb dev's program for Palm OS pre V5.x. I believe since Palm OS v1.0 and up to palm OS 4.x you could "hook" into system functions.
Here's an example:

I want to display a little "X appmnts." message in the title of every palm OS app I run.

I could hook into the function that's called to display ~palm os windows~ (can't really call them windows... but you can't not...). Once my custom function is hooked, instead of calling the APIs original version of the function, only my version is called. In my function, I call the original APIs version of the function, and then, I call a function to rename the window, so as to add the "X appmnts." to then end of it's title.

Then I want to use joe's function hook that does the same thing, only his displays the time at the end of the title bar. I hook joe's function to that same call. the API now called joe's function. joe's function think my function is the original version of the function, and calls my function. My function calls the original version of the function, then renames the title bar and returns. joe's function then renames (the renamed) title bar and returns.

Doing it this way allows for a static number of "hookables" to do an unlimited number of things. One could quite easily replace a 100 line function, with a light weight, 20 line version; or simply add a few extra commands in before or after that function, and edit the output of the function to place their results in the middle. Then again this was a full fledged API, on a tiny device mind you, so a tiny API.

I have no clue what 1.3 extentions are like though...

I'd go with this for step one...

Now to read pver part 2...
