Yup. That would take post whoring to new heights. big_smile

You can limit group access to forums.

With regards to the integration, there is a thread at the moment on the Flux site, (albeit for 1.2, though the basics are the same for 1.3), which may be of use:

That string is in the standard Unix time format. smile

It's not necessary to write in bold. Do a search for spinkbb. That is an online style generation aid/tool which has recently been updated to cover 1.3.

Does that mean you do know why or don't know why? (With you having mentioned the function globals part)?

Those keys are missing from the lang file, or that lang file isn't global within the respective function, if that was actually a question. big_smile

Cheers Matt. Next time I'm due for a bandwidth upgrade (2 or 3 months I guess) I might demand the upgrade without paying any extra. Anyone know a good host that doesn't mind busy forums?

You should be able to get a good cross ref having a browse on here. smile

Now, I don't mind trying to help, but I ain't dense, (hence I know the difference between e-mail and audible), and I ain't gonna' do all your work for you, (i.e: read the pissing threads in that link I posted).

I've given you a page with the relevant link to a thread. The thread you want is listed on that first page of search results.

Just wondering:
a. Is it a bad idea to add a completely new main.tpl INSIDE the extension folder or BETTER?
b. Putting user_avatars.php INSIDE the extension (not include/user/) and running it from there is what I meant...

If I have to upload extension and a file it's technically not a pure extension anymore?

Thx.

It's merely a case of upgrading ease. Going outside of the extension system means you have to remember to make sure all of your code is updated, (if necessary), if the base system is updated/upgraded.

My limit is 8GB per month. The hosting was unlimited bandwidth but they later told me it doesn't include forums

It's either unlimited or it isn't. They are telling you porkies one way or the other, whichever is true. Either they falsely advertised/flogged the package, or they are stringing you along now.

Not if support remains lacklustre.

Probably the first and last time it will happen, but I would have to agree with you there.

Don't you think you should be putting this information on the page that is primarily relevant to this 'release' rather than in the forums? It is somewhat lacking in content and information, to say the least.

http://punbb.informer.com/wiki/punbb.net/start

Search. Your last question took less than ten seconds of searching to find on PunRes. This one would take no more.

I've looked at tutorials, and tried them out, and they work fine. I was just wanting to know if it was possible yet. Like SMF can integrate most of it's featurs into a website, using SSI.php. If it comes down to it I can make a matching theme for Wordpress and Punbb, which isn't a hassle anyways. Thanks for the help, it's greatly appreciated.

Unless things have changed drastically with 1.3*, (I personally cannot say as I've never used it), you could include common.php into your external scripts with 1.2* which would give you access to the most commonly needed variables and such. As to whether that still applies with 1.3*, however, one of the others will be in a better position to advise.

If not you are basically asking for full integration into Wordpress - and you are not willing to pay right?

That's nice. I must have missed the changeover when these became paid support forums.

The O.P was asking for help and advice, That is hardly an appropriate response.

Have you looked in the Wiki?

With I.E, it could be anything. What version(s)? There should not be a noticeable difference as such between rendering categories and forums. What mods do you have installed?

It isn't that they can't be arsed, they simply don't know HOW to do it so I get lots of PMs and new topics asking why smilies are broken when all that is needed is a space bar to parsed before each smilie code.

Have you noted my posts above, perchance? Unless you are referring to how the javascript function ought to be inserting a preceding space, the parser cannot be expected to understand all nuances and exceptions. There is a fine line between functionality and trying to cater for muppets.

You don't have an old Pun installation in the web directory somewhere, by any chance?

KeyDog wrote:

so basically you agree it should be done by devs ?

Depends which part you are referring to. smile

Having the parser automatically detect and compensate for every possible theoretical combination: No.

Writing the javascript smilie insertion function so that it works as it should and correctly: Yes.

and shouldn't any such example.com:8000 be http://.... and then automatically caught as url's?

It was an example, nothing more. You cannot create a parser which will cater for every muppet on the planet. Create a fix for one thing and something else is liable to break. Smilies are, at the end of the day, the least important factor. If users cannot be arsed to use a space bar, they can blame no-one but themselves.

However, having the javascript smilie insertion code on the board not add a space before the smilie text upon insertion is just bloody sloppy coding. That should be done regardless. People entering smilie text directly, however, as pointed out above, really need to take care of their own spacing. smile
