Right. smile

Are you refering to http://www.punres.org/desc.php?pid=52? Because that's what I'm using, but it doesn't include this specific admin option [to send a PM to a specific usergroup].
Blechs. So many little features missing as mods, it's very hard to customize punBB to the level of other BBs. sad

Anyone?

I don't have the code needed (stage 10) in order to perform stage 11, so I'm kinda stuck. smile

I have 11 stages in all.
Could you upload the version you used?

There are several download locations in the thread you linked to...
There's a readme.txt with instructions as well as a the install_mod.php file...

... Is there such a mod? (obviously available to admins only)

What about stage 11 in the readme file? Where exactly do I add that? The directions there are not updated as well...
Stage 10, does not exist.

Definitely something I'm looking for as well.

Thanks. smile

Ah. I see now, but the idea was to *keep* the author name, just in s prettier way. heh. smile
blechs.

Yes, that worked. However, it also removes the username from the 'last post' column.
Is there a way to differeniate between the two?

Nope, if you will compare the changes of these mods in conjuction with original viewtopic.php, you will see that Author Column overides the changes that PunPoll did to it...

I tried messing with it, but I am obviously no wiz at this and had to revert to a backup.

Jeezy what a mess.

PunPoll -- http://www.punres.org/desc.php?pid=60
Author Column -- http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=828

If someone could merge these..

Here are the snippets (I dearly hope there aren't any more clashes!):

From the modification for PunPoll:

if ($cur_topic['moved_to'] != 0)
                $subject = $lang_forum['Moved'].': '.$lang_polls['Poll'].': <a href="viewpoll.php?id='.$cur_topic['moved_to'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['question']).'</a><br /> <span class="byuser"><b>'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'</b> '.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['poster']).'</span>';
            else if ($cur_topic['closed'] == '0')
                $subject = $lang_polls['Poll'].': <a href="viewpoll.php?id='.$cur_topic['id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['question']).'</a><br \> <span class="byuser"><b>'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'</b> '.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['poster']).'</span>';
            else
            {
                $subject = $lang_polls['Poll'].': <a href="viewpoll.php?id='.$cur_topic['id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['question']).'</a><br /> <span class="byuser"><b>'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'</b> '.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['poster']).'</span>';
                $icon_text = $lang_common['Closed icon'];
                $item_status = 'iclosed';
            }

The modification after Author Column mod overrides it:

if ($cur_topic['moved_to'] != 0)
            // <!-- MOD AUTHOR COLUMN 1 line folowing modified -->
            $subject = $lang_forum['Moved'].': <a href="viewtopic.php?id='.$cur_topic['moved_to'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'</a>';
        else if ($cur_topic['closed'] == '0')
            // <!-- MOD AUTHOR COLUMN 1 line folowing modified -->
            $subject = '<a href="viewtopic.php?id='.$cur_topic['id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'</a>';
        else
        {
            // <!-- MOD AUTHOR COLUMN 1 line folowing modified -->
            $subject = '<a href="viewtopic.php?id='.$cur_topic['id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'</a>';

            }

Could someone merge these two for me?? sad sad sad

I'd like to remove the thread start username, as marked in this screenshot.
DON'T WORRY, I've used a mod as can be seen in the screen shot, that puts the username in its own column... wink

mm. :\

Another question -- how strong is the "security" of the currently implemented image verification?
I know that with time more modern bots are used to bypass this...

A queue page with a two-column table (username, group) and checkmarks would be better, but alas...

Hello again guys,

Is there a way to mod Image_Verification-1.0.3 so that a user will first have to enter the 'code' and only then an email will be sent to it in order to activate/enter the forums?

BTW,
- Is this plug-in compatible with 1.2.13?
- Is there a 3rd way to activate an account, namely, manually and not via email/image verification+email/image verification?

I will patiently wait, then. smile
Thank you for your work and if anyone could answer the remaining questions (about stuff what are very basic in all other BBs (which is why I'm surprised none has created a mod for yet..)), I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thank you all. smile

Instrumental. wink

Lots of questions and no answers! BUMP! tongue

Thanks, that did the trick... smile
One down, lots more to go...

That did the trick, thanks. smile
