I started running the punbb-1.2.14_to_1.2.15.patch  as I described in the first post of this topic.
Then I successful run 12_to_1215update.php (taken from 1.2.15 tar installation)  to update the database. Done ok.
I now used the Version Changer Admin PLugin to change the version to 1.2.15

Should be all right ? Other to do ? Many thanks.

That's cool. I'll try it. Thanks. big_smile

Thanks a lot, I skipped that reading the instructions..  sad

That's ok, thanks. Infact I removed install.php

However punbb admin section always display 1.2.14 v. If I check for upgrades it reports the new vers. available.
Can I be sure I'm using the 1.2.15 ?

Attempting to patch my punbb-1.2.14 installation with the 1.2.15 patch I got some issue

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Can anyone help?

quaker, I'm actually playng with it on my Linux box, locally,  on a backup copy of my forum and wiki.
However, I already checked the requirements on TxD and it can run the mod .
I'll install it after I tested it for a bit of time, to be sure there are no issues.

That's really cool. Congrats.

I suppose you're manually pruning the forum every week, is it right?

ok did it and it works

now my question is can u design a prune function for these forums say after 40 they are deleted? or something like that.


Q

Did you get that working?

It work for me, using RSS 2.0, punbb 1.2.14.
I'd try with a different RSS type to be sure about it.

Well, SimplePie seems much better for my needs.
Im looking at SimplePie Compatibility Test and requirements right now,  to verify if I can run it under TxD (where my forum is hosted).
Not sure if I have enough permissions to install it. I'll try. Thanks.

Hi quaker, thanks a lot. That's very interesting, but is not exactly what I need.

I already have the xml file updated by dokuwiki on the root directory of my website. The code i'm looking for should open the rss file and read the news, then pull into the index page without post in any forum. Also the cronjob is not needed, since it should be updated anytime the page is being loaded into the browser.
(not sure if is possible, but is what I was looking for - sorry for my bad eng.)

Hi

i'm looking for a way to display RSS Feeds on my forum homepage (i'm using punbb+miniportal).

RSS are generated by Dokuwiki (every day) Dokuwiki is istalled on the same server, but under a separated subdir, and is not integrated with the punbb forum.

Im' actually using a javascript to get wiki rss on the homepage (rss2js), but its just too slow..

Wonder if a bit of php code could help to solve my issue (i'm not much familiar with it)

Thanks
