I came from phpBB and someone developed a program where you added some code to a regular HTML webpage and it would dynamically show the subject line, author and date of the last 5 posts made in the forum. I think they called it "topics anywhere". Is this available with punBB?

Re: Migration to PunBB from phpBB? (2 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I just migrated from phpbb. The migration tool worked pretty well. Some things had to be changed manually though. Most of the <img> tags in phpbb didn't convert to [img] tags in punBB so the images didn't show up until I corrected this. All in all it was a pretty smooth transition.

Re: PunBB is AWESOME!! (17 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I had phpbb for about 3 years and suffered though many 'defacing' attacks by hackers. It was horrible. I switched over to punBB recently. I sure hope it's more secure than phpbb. It appears to be.

Re: not sending mails (47 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
You are right about the emails for subscribed topics. I had to post as Admin and then as a regular user before I was able to figure it out. I got all the emails. Thanks.
Any suggestions on what to tell my webhost so that the bounced email gets sent back to me?

Re: not sending mails (47 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Smartys,
It seems I have a similar problem - maybe. I have the SMTP fields emtpy but I'm not getting some email. I say some because I have gotten email from users in the past but I get the sneaky feeling that not all of them are getting through. I sent messages to other people and have not gotten a single response furthering my suspisions. I tested it again by subscribed to a topic as administrator and then posting a message to see if I would get an email message. Nothing.
I also don't get bounced email messages. I tested this by signing up as a regular user with an invalid email address. I sent an email to this user as administrator and got nothing back.
Help!

Re: Change to "Online Today" Mod (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
I'm not a programmer so I stumbled my way through it. It's probably not the proper way to do it, but this is what I came up with.
$now = mktime(0,0,0, $date['mon'], $date['mday'], $date['year']);
$todaystamp = $now - 86400;The query that follows this code remains the same.

Re: Change to "Online Today" Mod (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
Thanks for the hint. The line below reads the current time. I did what you said and subracted 86400 seconds from this and got what I wanted.
$todaystamp = mktime(0,0,0, $date['mon'], $date['mday'], $date['year']);9 2006-10-10 18:43
Re: User search (2 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
I'm not a programmer but I think my solution goes something like this. I added code to the end of the original WHERE statement (see above). I simply want to search two fields instead of one. Can one of you php programmers tell me if this is correct syntax?
$where_sql[] = 'u.username '.$like_command.' \''.$db->escape(str_replace('*', '%', $username)).'\'' OR 'u.newfield '.$like_command.' \''.$db->escape(str_replace('*', '%', $username)).'\'';10 2006-10-09 18:09
Topic: User search (2 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
I added some fields to user profile and I'd like the user search feature to search the username and another field. If a match is found in either one then it shows up.
In the userlist.php file, I think the line to change is the one below. I need to make it an 'OR' statement and add the code for the other field. How do I do this?
$where_sql[] = 'u.username '.$like_command.' \''.$db->escape(str_replace('*', '%', $username)).'\'';11 2006-10-06 15:50
Re: Change to "Online Today" Mod (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
Either my request is extremely challenging or I'm not making it very clear. Then again, maybe it's just a boring request.
Anyone? .... Bueller?

Topic: Disable user "delete" function (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I've gone over the Admin page several times and can't seem to find a way to disable users from deleting their own posts. I don't want them to delete their posts - I only want Admins and Mods to delete posts. How do I make this happen?

Topic: Change to "Online Today" Mod (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
I use the online today mod, but would like to change it so it tracked people online the last 24 hours. I don't like how it clears the list of names at midnight and starts over.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Topic: Search problem (2 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I just converted my board from phpBB to PunBB. Everything seems to be working good except the search function. The problem is you must use an asterisk '*' in the keyword search or else nothing shows up. In other words, 'hello' finds nothing, but 'hello*' works. I noticed that it doesn't work that way when searching the PunBB.org forum. Does this require a Mod?
