Thanks for that
Sounds good... but I've no idea how to use a forum include. Is there a help file for that?

Thanks for that.
That doesn't seem to work in my main.tpl
I should have mentioned that the thing I want to hide is in the main.tpl file.

Thanks if you help further smile

I run a forum that is 100% private. you can't see anything unless you log in.
I want to embed my twitter updates code into the template but I only want the twitter information to be viewed by people who are logged in.

I know how to do all of the above apart from make the twitter information only viewable by people who are logged in.

So is there some code I can place around the twitter code that will achieve this?
Thanks in advance

I want to delete some of the themes available in people's profiles.
If I go ahead and do that but some of my members have chosen that profile, what will happen? Will they revert automatically to the default theme or will the get a 404 error or similar?

thanks in advance
regards,
mark

and if you have few visitors I would take down the adverts for now. They can put people off. If you get busy, put them back on smile

Thanks for that. Seems a bit complicated. I might just see how this goes and if the host complains I'll close the current chat room and encourage everyone to swap MSN details and have a group chat. I wish google talk would release a proper group chat function

FOUND IT, thanks!
It was Ajax Chat. I'm using 1.1 because it worked fine.
I wonder if my host will complain at increased resources being used????

I want my forum searches to omit a particular sub-forum that I have.

Why?
I have a sub-forum that is set aside for people to argue in so that they don't ruin the main forums with arguments. However, many of my visitors use the "Show Recent Posts" option to view the forums. This means forum visitors still see the argumentative topics and I don't want that to happen. It ruins the good vibe.

So is there a way to omit the arguments sub-forum from the "recent posts" search results page?

Thanks
Mark

I had one installed but then I've lost it somehow.
It had a "Chat on/off" link added to the forum navigation. I liked it and my users liked it, but I've lost it whilst doing some alterations.

Does anyone remember what chat solution that was?

Alternatively what is your recommended chat solution?
Something clean, integrated and will not make my host upset due to server load.

thanks

Ideally I would like an overall 100% wide template, a 150px wide column on the right for my ads and then let the main column on the left be fluid. Is that possible?

Hello
I'm  a happy punbb webmaster but I want to update the css colourscheme to something more sexy. I don't like any of the pre-installed ones. So I was wondering if there were any CSS packs available (similar to how you can download a wordpress template). Is there a place where I can choose different colour schemes please?

Thanks for any help

Mark

OK I fixed it.
Replace this line...

$post_actions[] = '<li class="postreport"><a href="misc.php?report='.$cur_post['id'].'">'.$lang_topic['Report'].'</a>'.$lang_topic['Link separator'].'</li><li class="postdelete"><a href="delete.php?id='.$cur_post['id'].'">'.$lang_topic['Delete'].'</a>'.$lang_topic['Link separator'].'</li><li class="postedit"><a href="edit.php?id='.$cur_post['id'].'">'.$lang_topic['Edit'].'</a>'.$lang_topic['Link separator'].'</li><li class="postquote"><a href="post.php?tid='.$id.'&qid='.$cur_post['id'].'">'.$lang_topic['Quote'].'</a>';

With this line...

$post_actions[] = '<li class="postreport"><a href="misc.php?report='.$cur_post['id'].'">'.$lang_topic['Report'].'</a>'.$lang_topic['Link separator'].'</li><li class="postdelete"><a href="delete.php?id='.$cur_post['id'].'">'.$lang_topic['Delete'].'</a>'.$lang_topic['Link separator'].'</li><li class="postedit"><a href="edit.php?id='.$cur_post['id'].'">'.$lang_topic['Edit'].'</a>'.$lang_topic['Link separator'].'</li><li class="postquote"><a href="post.php?tid='.$id.'&qid='.$cur_post['id'].'">'.$lang_topic['Quote'].'</a><br><li class="postedit">Karma: <a href="karma.php?post='.$cur_post['id'].'&vote=1">'.'Vote user up'.'</a> - <a href="karma.php?post='.$cur_post['id'].'&vote=0">'.'Vote user down'.'</a>';

Make sure you backup that file before doing it because I'm very much a novice at this kind of thing.

I suppose me question really is how do I create an "IF" rule in the viewtopic.php that lets the admin/mod "see" those links?

I'm going to have another poke around in the code and see if I can spot it.

I've installed the Karma mod and I like it a lot.
However, neither moderators nor admin members can "see" the voting links that should be under each post.
Does anyone know a way to allow admin/moderators to give karma votes please?

thanks

Thanks for that. Worked like a charm. 54 emails have just been sent at the click of a button.
I have to ask, whose SMTP settings were used for this action? I don't have any SMTP information filled out in my options page.  The email does appear to have been successfully sent out though.

Thanks

Thanks PhaxeNor
I felt sure that would work but it hasn't worked.
I entered the above md5 code as the password in phpmyadmin and then tried to login using the correct username and "password" as the password. But it still told me I had used the wrong password. Any clues?

If it's any use all the other md5 codes for the other usernames were about 10 characters longer than the one you gave me.
Thanks for this help.

I've tested changing a forum user password from within the phpmyadmin section within cpanel but it didn't work. I was able to successfully edit the username but when i changed the password to "password" i stlil couldn't use this new password to login.

What steps am I missing out on please?
is it because it needs encrypting. I didn't understand how to use the code the lie2815 quoted.

I'm nearly there now. thanks for any further help

thanks. Yes I've just emailed my host but i didn't think they would have access to my punbb password. They can probably help me with the cpanel password  but I dont know how that would help me  retrieve my punbb admin password

Further comments appreciated

OK so I have a punbb forum account called "site admin" but I can't login because I've forgotten my password and I don't even remember what email address I used with that account so I can't retrieve the password. Even worse is that I've forgotten my CPanel password too!!
Does anyone know a way to retrieve the above info?
Thanks
