If you do a search of the forum, I posted all the details not too long ago regarding how to convert everything to UTF-8.

With regards to the title, what character encoding are you using? Is it consistent throughout?

Just more difference between areas would work wonders. Make it so that you can see where one part begins and the other ends. I like the darker end of the spectrum, (my eyes are crap where bright/light stuff is concerned), but you need, for example, the table headers and data rows to have enough space between them, (colour scale wise), so that they dont literally meld into each other. The blue text is also a tad harsh on such a dark background.

Some relation to cookies, yes. I'd still suggest checking if they have any of that Norton crap on the go. That gave me three days of grief with one of my users with the same problem.

The misc.php?action=rules page. As Smarty's said, you have something before the doctype declaration.

I'd be tempted to check they haven't, (your problem users), got an AV software like McAfee/Norton screwing around with their cookies/security.

Does 'db->escape' have advantages?

Not advantages, as such. It merely preps input for the db.

Any way I can clean up the above processes to create a macro / script to automatically do everything I've listed above?

It's obviously running on a *nix based system, so just write a shell script. and then pop an entry in cron for it. It's a doddle.

Just a quickie. big_smile If one has forums in several sub domains, i.e:

http://example.com/forum1
http://example.com/forum2

is it merely a case of adding the subdomain name to the cookie path in config.php to stop one getting logged out of one forum, (as far as the browser is concerned), if you browse one of the other forums on that parent domain, or is something else required?


Cheers,

Matt

Why? Have you ever created or wrote a minor mod even, for PunBB? Do you have any idea how much time coding even the simplest of scripts can consume? The fact that this software ever became available at all is payment in itself for whatever donation people made. I can understand your opinion to a degree, but seriously, good intentions don't put food on the table. Dev's have families to support too. smile

yes its end of free punbb...now it may sound too harsh....but punbb asked donations to support the project...they developed it based on those donations and now selling it off for $$$ thats too bad...why dont you refund money of those who supported the script and donated for "development"

Yes, that does sound bitter, and also wrong. I doubt anyone ever asked for donations. Accepting and asking are two very different things. As with all open source software, one should be grateful for the fact that the author and devs ever created and open sourced the software in the first place. There is no obligation. If someone donates, that is of their own volition, not due to some pre-requisite.

How tardy of the author and devs to actually wish to earn a living. How could they.............


Yes, btw, that was sarcasm.

Why not use strpos?

I find it easier to keep to a true/false setup for checks like that, than having to remember that certain functions return a number. Strpos gets used if I need a position. Stristr if I need a match. Plus, it removes the need to call strtolower, as stristr is case insensitive. What you lose one way, you gain another. big_smile

Apologies. Slight spelling error on my part there. smile

It's not updating because the var you are setting is $uri, but you're entering your unparsed $txturl var into the db. big_smile Change $uri to $txturl or vice versa.

You need something similar in your submitting form too. (Borrowed and altered slightly from profile.php).

<label><?php echo $lang_profile['Website'] ?><br/><input type="text" name="user_uri" value="<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($user['url']) ?>" size="50" maxlength="80"/><br/></label>

The $user['url'] is the users website address from their db account. You would then need to get that HTTP var:

if (isset($_POST['user_uri']) && $_POST['user_uri'] != null)
{
    $uri = $_POST['user_uri'];

    if (stristr($uri, 'http://'))
    {
       $uri = 'http://'.$uri;
    }
    else
    {
        $uri = $uri;
    }
}
else
{
    $uri = null;
}

Untested.

Try adding this just below the include/common line at the top of the script:

require PUN_ROOT.'include/functions.php';

Edit: It doesn't need that line adding. Just checked that script with a virgin install of a standard PunBB and it works fine. The problem is at your end somewhere. Check your logs to see what they say.
