TheChief — Thu, 25 Nov 2004 04:16:59 -0600

I made a small mod to display the last x posts. I dont know, if it is fast, when you have much posts in you phorum.

$posts = 5;

$link = mysql_connect("xxx","xxx","xxx") or die ("Error");
mysql_select_db("phorum") or die("error");

$query = "Select table_name, id from forums";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Error");

$i = 1;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
if ($i == 1)
{
$q1 = "(Select datestamp, subject, author, thread, id from $row[0]) ";
$i =2;
}
else
$q1 = $q1." UNION (Select datestamp, subject, author, thread, id from $row[0])";
}
$q1 = $q1." order by datestamp desc limit $posts";

$result = mysql_query($q1) or die("Error");

echo "\n";
echo "";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
echo "\n";
}
echo "

\n";
echo "Last $posts posts

\n";
echo date("d.m.Y", strtotime($row[0]))." ".$row[1]." from ".$row[2];
echo "

";

mysql_free_result($result);
mysql_close($link);

[code] mod to add ip/domain name block in the admin panel (3 replies)

David M — Wed, 14 Jul 2004 14:40:20 -0500

Hi,

I was allways looking to be able to block ips/domain name within the admin panel without being obliged to modify the bad_host file, and send it by ftp in the correct folder. Also I wanted to give that possibility to my moderators.

Here is the mod, very easy to add (for MySql only) : 3 files + two images (not mandatory but easy to see what Ip is block yes or not).
I tested in under several 3.4.x releases and it seems to work fine.
Note that it allows to add ipadress (but not to delete them in the database in order to keep a track of ip adresses added). But once you want to release a ip adress, you can say that this ip adress is allowed again (it stays in the database but is not saved into the bad_host file).

Install steps :
- new table to create in the form database (the syntax is in the txt file)
- ipblock.php file to add in the /forumadminfolder/pages/
- a simple line to add in the panels admin in the file /forumadminfolder/pages/main.php for the admin
IP block

and/or in the file /forumadminfolder/pages/moderate.php for moderators
f=1&page=stats"> Statistiques

Let me know your thoughts

Cheers,

David

A simple Javascript Smiley Face Insertion System (3 replies)

mt — Wed, 07 Jul 2004 04:40:31 -0500

I put together this smiley face insertion system for my own personal use, and though maybe other people would like to use it, since it is very easy to install.

Here is how to use it:

Version Tested: 3.4.8a
File Modified: /include/form.php

1- Extract all the smiley images in the zip file into the "/smileys" directory of your phorum.

2- Replace the "/include/form.php" file of your current phorum directory with the "form.php" file in the zip file.

3- Go to your administrative interface, and go to "Plugins". There, click on the "Smiley Plugin" link to activate it.

4- Using the attached image, fill in the form fields for each smiley along with the corresponding image name and Add them.

That's it. I have also attached a snapshot of how the whole thing looks. Feel free to email me questions regarding this modifications.

Please help ! (no replies)

I'm french please try to understand me !

I would like this mod : add a link next to the subjet which give you only the last 10 or 20 postes of the thread.

Some threds have 200 or 300 responses on my forums, so it should be great to have only the lastes 10 or 20 and not the 200 or 300 !

Please tell me if a mod like that exists ???? (my life for a good link !)

Thank you !

Require Login in added pages (no replies)

Kicker Rock — Thu, 03 Jun 2004 15:36:22 -0500

Normally I use the

if(isset($phorum_user['id'])){
...
}

for showing content in added pages on my website only to members
but i would like to have to use the redirection function
like trying to attempt a forum that requires login.

i guess it's around here:

// including the user-authentication
include ("$include_path/userlogin.php");

if(!defined('PHORUM_ADMIN') && $DB->connect_id){
// check security
if($ForumFolder==1 || $f==0){
$SQL="Select max(security) as sec from $pho_main";
$q->query($DB, $SQL);
$max_sec=$q->field('sec', 0);
}

$phorum_user=phorum_return_user();

if(isset($phorum_user) && !$phorum_user['moderator']){
if((isset($ForumSecurity) && $ForumSecurity==SEC_NONE) || (($ForumFolder==1 || $f==0) && $max_sec==0)){
unset($phorum_user);
}
}

if($ForumSecurity==SEC_ALL && !isset($phorum_user['id'])){
header('Location: '.phorum_loginurl($REQUEST_URI));
exit();
}

but how can I activate it for a certain non-phorum page
like news.php or similar that includes
the header.php and common.php files?!

mod for "messages posted since your last visit"? (5 replies)

Brian Tully — Thu, 30 Sep 2004 17:59:00 -0500

i'm moving from WebBBS to Phorum and pretty much have everything configured and working OK. however one feature of WebBBS is sorely lacking in Phorum that our users are complaining about - and that is a summary of how many new messages have been posted since their last visit to the site.

anyone know of a mod or hack that can do this?

right now it seems Phorum marks all messages as NEW if they haven't been read, whereas WebBBS would only mark messages as new that have been posted since the user's last visit - a "paradigm shift" that seems to be confusing our users.

ideally i think it would be great to have two levels of "new" information displayed to the user:

-- a way of indicating which messages are new since their last visit

-- a way of indicating which messages have not been read by the user

again it seems the concept Phorum uses is that if a user hasn't specifically read a post it is considered "new". I'd prefer to define new messages as messages posted since a user's last visit to the site.

can anyone help or shed some light on this? it would be GREATLY appreciated!

thanks in advance,
brian

Polski profil z komunikatorami GG i Tlen (4 replies)

Godai — Mon, 24 May 2004 03:44:59 -0500

pomyslalem sobie, ze ktos moze z tego skorzystac. Zwykly profil do Phorum (z wersji 3.4.6), zamiast ICQ, Yahoo, AIMa i innych daje mozliwosc wprowadzenia numeru GG i identyfikatora Tlen. W profilu wyswietla aktualny status odnosnych komunikatorow.

Uwaga! W panelu admina nadal wyswietla stare dane, tj podaje ICQ i reszte zamiast polskich - zeby nie bylo, ze cos spaprane, po prostu trzebaby zmienic tamte pliki, a juz uznalem, ze nie warto.

W zalaczniku jest przerobiony profile.php oraz dwa pliki graficzne - do GG i Tlena, ktore trzeba wrzucic do katalogu images...

Skomentujcie, jesli komus sie to przyda - ja z powodzeniem uzywam u siebie, jesli chcecie zobaczyc w praktyce:

Html to Phorum tags (no replies)

tha — Sat, 17 Apr 2004 13:54:59 -0500

Hi,

I am a webmaster of a little website and I use Phorum since 2 years. The first version I use was the 3.2.11. I followed all the updates (which were very smooth) and now I use the 3.4.7 release.

But when I consult the oldest posts in my Phorum I see the html tags used in version 3.2.x to format the text. So URL are unclickable and the bold, italic and underline properties are lost.

To keep the homogeneity of my forum, I have written a little PHP script to convert old message format to new format, with the conversion of html tags to Phorum specific tags.

My script is attached to this message and need to be edited to set some constant values before working.

christoph — Sun, 12 Sep 2004 07:57:22 -0500

hi,

i searched the whole web for a hack, but I couldn't find it. maybe someone can help me:
is there a hack which shows the phorum-overview in a collapsed views and expands the thread with a click on the '+' ?
I have right now so large threads that the expanded-view is horrible, but my users want to "preview" the threads and answers easily - so I look for the mentioned hack...

I don't know if you understand what I mean, but I hope so :)
thanks a lot !!

Show real name instead of username (5 replies)

karl — Sat, 10 Jul 2004 05:12:28 -0500

These moderated scripts makes it possible to show the users real names in the threads etc. instead of the username.

You need to set the variable $author_realname to true somewhere - I do it in the header-script.

Replace the scripts multithreads, threads and form in the include-dir with the ones attached here.
Read - which I upload in the next message - should be placed in the phorum-dir.

Login site integration trick (10 replies)

Scott — Tue, 15 Jun 2004 10:25:00 -0500

If your site already has login capability and uses cookies, here's an easy fix to integrate the phorum with the rest of the site with a minimal amount of modding.
STEP 1:
When someone first signs up on your site, add this to your existing signup code:
$forumpasswd=md5($passwd);//only if you don't crypt your password already
$sql="insert into forums_auth(id, username, password, name, email) values
($id,'$user','$forumpasswd','$first_name','email')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
This will put the user in the phorum auth db. Don't worry about the other variables, as users can add those in later if they click on edit profile.
This is fine and dandy if you are just starting a site, but if you already have users, you should put some code in your site login section that checks if the user is in forum_auth(or whatever you named the table) and if they aren't to add them using something like the code above.
STEP 2:
Set the auth cookie during site login.
Example if your login function takes user and pass as parameters:
$sessionID="$user:".md5($pass);
SetCookie("phorum_cookieauth", "$sessionID", time()+86400*365);
Make sure you do this at the top level so the path is "/" and it's available to the phorum in your forum directory.
STEP 3
In header.php which should contain the top of your site page, you will check for user login in whatever fashion you do on the rest of your site.
For example if you're using classes:
$logged=$user->checklog();
If the user isn't logged in, you don't let them view the forum. Maybe something like this:
if(!$logged){ echo "You must be logged in before you can use the phorum!!!";
include phorum_get_file_name('footer'); exit;}
STEP 4
Lastly since the only time a user will view the forum is when he is logged in, you don't want him to log out from the forum, only from your main site. You don't have to do anything extra in your logout since it isn't neccessary to delete the forum auth cookie. You'll need to comment out one line of code from your main phorum files. ie
list.php, read.php, post.php, profile.php, and register.php. Here's the line:
addnav($menu2, $lLogOut, "login.$ext?logout=1$GetVars");
Now the logout option won't show up. You should have a main logoff somewhere on your site.

The security setting should be on need login to post.
However, as you can see your mods prevent anyone who is logged in from access to the forum.

Cheers
