Enhanced profiles (1 reply)

How do I remove the 50 character restriction for ICQ, MSN etc. fields in profiles menu?

I actually managed to remove the restriction to write longer descriptions, but only the first 50 characters are saved :-(

this mod is useful to order the list of forums (1 reply)

Bonjours,

C'est un petit mod conçu pour faciliter la vie des utilisateurs de phorum v3.4.x..

Enfin en bref, ce petit mod permet d'ordonner la liste des forums comme on le souhaite (mettre Discussions avant Bug, etc..).

Je n'ai pas vraiment eu le temp de tester ce mod, donc à vous de me dire les bugs que j'essaierai de corriger dans mon temp libre :-)

Changement

+index.php (ligne 112)
+update_forums_MYSQL_.php

+db/mysql.php (ligne 259)

+admin/actions/add.php (ligne 40 à 42 + 50 à 51 )
+admin/actions/rang.php
+admin/pages/managemenu.php (ligne 64 à 65)
+admin/pages/manage.php (ligne 23)

Le fichier "update_fourms_MYSQL_.php" sert à mettre à jour la base de donnée des forums déjà installé.

Attention, ce mod n'a été conçu que pour les bdd de type MySQL :-)

Pour l'installer il suffit de le décompresser à la racine du forum (si possible sur un forum pas en production, enfin je vous aurais prévenu:-0).

Bonne chance :)

Sorry but i dont speak english, this mod is useful to order the list of forums..

Flat view index.php (also hides forums on permissions) (no replies)

rscano — Wed, 10 Mar 2004 17:03:06 -0500

I did this flat view because my users were complaining when i began using folders.

I also have some private forums that i don't want people who are not allowed in to see every day so i modded it to do that too.

Hiding superfluous e-mail addresses (2 replies)

Gwaihir — Mon, 12 Apr 2004 09:00:34 -0400

Hi,

I've set up Phorum to receive postings through e-mail. If people send in replies to other mails these will contain e-mail addresses, which then appear in the postings.

I don't want them there for reasons of privacy and (mostly) spam harvesting.

Has anyone written a mod for this purpose so far (Phorum 3.4.4 - Stable)? If so, where can I find it?

If not, I'll write one in the next few days (shouldn't be hard) and post it here in hope that some out here will comment on it to optimize it.

news posting script, again (no replies)

toe — Mon, 17 Nov 2003 06:54:35 -0500

sorry, posted in the other forum by mistake yesterday! ...

is there a template around or could someone post one that would let me post news on my main page (or in an iframe) so when the user clicks a comments link theyre taken to the item as a forum thread?

i know theres a news bit in the scripts folder, but im very unsure how to implement this as above? im assuming its to assign a folder as posting by admin only or along them lines, but im more after a kind of cutephp posting thing that can disply the just the news in its oown template then just link to the thread...

anyone help / understand?

cheers for such a great forum!!!

Karfau — Mon, 19 Jul 2004 18:29:41 -0400

I worte a little mod, now it looks like at the pic "lookslikethis.jpg".

You are told how to install those changes in "howto.txt"

2 needed files are inside the "avatar_table.zip"

It works all fine for me, but its not so simple to install, therefor I post it here.

It would also be nice to have some options for user or admins targeting those changes, but I'm to lazy to do this work...

Comments [...] are wished

Censor improvements/ Bad_* improvements (no replies)

ChrisW — Tue, 21 Oct 2003 17:52:52 -0400

This change will go through the censor much, much, much faster since it's just four calls to preg_replace, rather than four calls times the number of word. Also, it will move the censor from a file on the server to the database and include update functionality in the admin

1) Add a table in your database called bad (here is the mysql command):
CREATE TABLE `bad` (
`Value` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`Type` char(1) NOT NULL default ''
) ;

2 ) Put the file ./admin/pages/censor.php from censor.tar.gz into ./admin/pages/

3) Add a line to your ./admin/pages/main.php so you have link to the censor admin:

Censor

4) Change ./include/censor.php to the following:
global $DB, $q;
$stmt="select Value from bad where Type='p'";
$q->query($DB, $stmt);
while($rec=$q->getrow()) {
$profan[]="/(".quotemeta($rec[Value]).")/ie";
}
?>

5) In include/post_functions.inc with the change to the censor function as follows:

function censor($author, $subject, $email, $body)
{
global $include_path, $ForumConfigSuffix;
if(file_exists("$include_path/censor_$ForumConfigSuffix.php")){
include "$include_path/censor_$ForumConfigSuffix.php";
} else {
include "$include_path/censor.php";
}

if (is_array($profan)) {
$author=preg_replace($profan,"str_pad('', strlen('\\1'), '*')", $author);
$email=preg_replace($profan,"str_pad('', strlen('\\1'), '*')", $email);
$subject=preg_replace($profan,"str_pad('', strlen('\\1'), '*')", $subject);
$body=preg_replace($profan,"str_pad('', strlen('\\1'), '*')", $body);
}
return(array($author, $subject, $email, $body));
}

Everything past this is optional, but if you also want to drive your bad_email, bad_name and bad_host out of the database with an admin, then make the following changes as well:

1) Replace includes/bad_emails.php with:
global $DB, $q;
$stmt="select Value from bad where type='e'";
$q->query($DB, $stmt);
while($rec=$q->getrow()) {
$emails[]=$rec[Value];
}
?>
2) Replace includes/bad_hosts.php with:
global $DB, $q;
$stmt="select Value from bad where type='h'";
$q->query($DB, $stmt);

while($rec=$q->getrow()) {
$hosts[]=$rec[Value];
}
?>
3) Replace includes/bad_names.php with:
global $DB, $q;
$stmt="select Value from bad where type='n'";
$q->query($DB, $stmt);
while($rec=$q->getrow()) {
$names[]=$rec[Value];
}
?>

4) Include the bad_* file from bad.tar.gz in your admin/pages directory

4) Add the following lines to admin/pages/main.php
Bad Emails

Bad Hosts

Bad Names

patch for optional name display handling... (2 replies)

Cygale — Sun, 21 Mar 2004 19:28:37 -0500

This patch will give you the option of either displaying member names in the old style "Real Name" or the new way "Username".

Unzip it into your phorum directory and apply it with "patch" either on a Unix system or using Cygwin.

patch -p1 < patch-phorum-3.4.4name

to remove

patch -R -p1 < patch-phorum-3.4.4name

Simple IP BAN (1 reply)

Kevin — Mon, 21 Jul 2003 11:13:39 -0400

My friend has a website using Phorum 5, there's a bit
of disturbance, and we would like to keep some people's
ip (or even the entire subnet) out of the forum,
because some of those people leeches works published
in the forum and claimed to be their own.

However, phorum 5 doesn't seen to have the capability
to BAN PEOPLE FROM VIEWING...

is there any mod, plugin, programme or suggestion that
might help?

thanks in advance.

email format validation changes... (6 replies)

Cygale — Sun, 27 Jul 2003 07:23:33 -0400

Here are the changes to make sure that someone has submitted an email address in a valid format. I've got probably 50 users or so who unintentionally screwed up their profile.

It should be fine, but I haven't given it a solid test yet.

It's a unified diff, just copy it into your phorum directory and apply it under unix or with cygwin for windows.

patch -p1 < validate_email.diff

remove it with

patch -R -p1 < validate_email.diff

Privacy mod for 3.4.4 (2 replies)

Cygale — Mon, 14 Jul 2003 13:42:40 -0400

This is a patch against phorum 3.4.4 to enhance privacy of the users.

Links to member profiles are not displayed unless the user is logged in.

If someone attempts to access profile.php and is not logged in they are redirected to login.php

User name is no longer displayed in the profile.

The checkbox for "Hide my email from other users" is now checked by default.

I've done some basic testing and it all looks good, but any input would be appreciated.

Does a hack for attachments by admin/mods only exist? (1 reply)

Anonymous User — Wed, 27 Aug 2003 19:12:22 -0400

Need to constrain the use of attachments to the admin or moderators only but don't want to go to full moderation. Does something like this exist? I tried adding some lines in attach.php that I thought would do the trick (moderator only attachments) but they don't do the business:-( FWIW I'm not a programmer in any way or form;~/ What I tried was...
$noattach=false;
}
?>
...and inserted it into line 172 of attach.php (Phorum 3.4.3a)

best wishes, Robert

top authors from all active forums. (7 replies)

canadarules — Mon, 09 Jun 2003 03:04:49 -0400

I was searching thru something that would show top 10 authors from all active phorums but i couldnt find anything..

On the old board, i found a piece of code that showed topX from active forum and note from its author that "its impossible to do global top statistics".

So i took bull by its horns and wrote a piece of code to produce such print out..

Code is not yet in condition that it could be published, but if people want it, i can clean it a bit and put it samewhere.. (The thing is, im not phorum user myself, nor i have ever hacked phorum, that code was my first code written for phorum and i want to make it a bi t more flexible, eg design should be themeable from phorum settings which it aint 100% yet.. and there's few other issues too)=

Example of the top10 can be found here [fi-reggae.yardstyle.org]

HELP!. Need to control access of users to forums (no replies)

Anonymous User — Mon, 12 May 2003 06:45:57 -0400

Hi all,

I´ve some forums with a group of users (users who can access each forum), and i need to control when all users of a group (group of users) have read a message posted in one forum.

So, I have:
Forum1 with a group of users 1
Forum2 with a group of users 2
Forum3 with a group of users 3

And I need to know, for example, when all users of group1 have been readed each message posted on forum1.

This is because all messages posted in each forum must be read by all users of the group of users assigned to it forum.

Any idea about how can i do it. Is there any Mod to do it?, Is it iincluded this function into Phorum 5?.

Actually i´m begining to work with PHP and I don´t know how can i do it?

Really I need help because it´s urgent for me.

Thanks for your time.

Jesus

Icon and icon when >Xposts (2 replies)

Anonymous User — Sat, 01 Mar 2003 06:20:22 -0500

Hi, i did a little change in include/threads.php (l.82), i have added an icon before the subjects :

echo ' '.$img.' '.$t_subject." ";

Now i would like that icon to be different when there are more than 30 (for example) replies.
I tried to modify the line like this but it doesn't work :

echo ' 30) { echo 'image1.gif'; }else{ echo 'image2.gif'; } ?>"> '.$img.' '.$t_subject." ";

Could somebody show me how to do ?

PS : this modd would be nearly the same as the one of Matt (forum graphics) without caring about new posts.

Categories within one forum (3 replies)

Bakterie — Sat, 08 Feb 2003 21:26:30 -0500

Hello,

I like to use one forum instead of several. But I like to have categories too. So I add a "Etikett" to the database and the post-form.
Now the poster can decide to which category his posting should belong to but anyway all postings can be seen in one flat forum. The graphic "Etikett" then shows to which category the postings will belong to.

You can see my forum at

Quickadd - post to any forum from one page / optionally from any web page (no replies)

tharring — Thu, 06 Feb 2003 13:43:06 -0500

This is not really a Mod/Plugin ... however, I use it a lot and it saves
me lots of time. So I just throw it in here - maybe someone wants to
turn the idea into a clean implementation. However, it works fine
as it is (phorum 3.4.1).

It will allow you to post to any of your forums from one single page; I use it as a shortcut if I just want to add something without browsing the forums first.
Combined with a bookmarklet (read the included instructions) it makes up a good combination for quickly adding and annotating URLs to your forum
from any web page you are currently reading.

To install, just copy quickadd.txt into the root directory of your phorum
and rename it to quickadd.php

Note: This does not circumvent phorum's own post.php - it just
creates an input form with additional options that eventually
calls post.php .

Regards,
Uli

PS: I attached quickadd.txt to this posting, but have no idea why the attachment doesn't show up here. So if you want to see/download it,
go to [darf.ausschlafen.de]

Has anyone gotten this to work with the current version of Phorum? I was able to get the program to download all the posts, but the threads did not get preserved.

Is there any other program that downloads usenet posts into phorum like this one?

Thanks...

Clickable URLs in messages (no replies)

Anonymous User — Tue, 21 Jan 2003 10:47:20 -0500

Hello,

I have been trying out various solutions found here and elsewhere on the web, without a satisfying result. Most seem to work fine, but some don't display URLs with commas & other non-alpha-numerical characters correctly, some don't handle URLs followed by characters like period or comma, etc. etc.

The other day, however, I found a code chunk that seem to handle everything fine: [www.lists.morelogs.de]

It can probably be used as is, but I chose to
- remove the "global $body;" line,
- place $body as a parameter for the function (plugin_core_url_conversion($body)),
- and added a "return $body" at the end of the function.

You can now place this function in \include\read_functions.php, and
call it from the proper place in the same file (somewhere in the format_body function), like this:
$body = plugin_core_url_conversion($body);
(You might want to rename the function, too ...)

The file references are for Phorum 3.3.2c. I can't vouch for the coding quality, but it's working! If you know any better solutions, please respond.

order by subject hack (2 replies)

markmitc — Thu, 09 Jan 2003 20:46:13 -0500

Hi,

I've hacked out list.php to order by subject

it's called list_by_subject.php, but onmy system it simply replaces list.php.

haven't tested it extensively but it seems to work - don't know about the older/newer messages button.

Requirements - You need to have float to top enabled on the forum.

I've basically modified the code for 'Float to Top' (ie Multilevel = 2)

Not intending to do too much from here - it would be nice to make it a configurable option or something rather than a hack - any ideas?

cheers
Haydn

New Hack! User defined startforum (1 reply)

Aleks — Fri, 30 Aug 2002 18:51:47 -0400

Ok folks, heres is another hack :)

I´ve coded it, because its a good way to go fast to specific forum. My phorum has about 40 forums with 10 folders in 3 layers...you see, i need such a function.

Let's start (Sorry for my shiti sql statements...)

First you have to make a new col calleds "watch" in forums_auth:

ALTER TABLE `your_table_main_name`.`forums_auth` ADD `watch` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL;

Second edit some files (login.php; profile.php; register.php)

Look at atachments...i will later do a step by step i you would like...

In lang.php file put: $lwatch="Startseite:"; (or "startpage:"...)

Should work...i have you have questions feel free to answer.

Best regards & good luck.
