thread (topic) export and import - 12 years ago

i take nightly MySQL dumps of my database. this morning a moderator deleted a complete thread. i was able to restore the previous night's database OK into a new dummy database and phorum installation. i then manually pasted the posts (and re-upload the image attachments) back onto the live forum. i posted all individual posts as myself, with a note to say who the original author actually

code tag rendering problem in IE7 - 17 years ago

my users often post very long unix path names and put plain text code tags around so that a horizontal scroll bar will appear. this aids readability, but in IE7 the scroll bar obscures the text: /this/is_a_very_long_path_name/because_it_has_several_sub_directories/and_they_have_long_version_numbers_and_other_useful_information/built_in_so_you_can_see/that_this_is_rev_1.0.0.0-2.3.4.5/i_hope_thi

User specific statistics - 17 years ago

hi - been a while (mostly because phorum does pretty much all i need and without problems!) i'd like to be able to do some rough profiling of specific users: e.g. between date S and date E, user U posted N times on forum X and M times on forum Y is that possible?

Merge - feature suggestion - 18 years ago

I only occasionally have to merge threads, but I often get it wrong. Suppose iI have 2 threads T1 and T2 T1 T2 -- -- P1 Q1 P2 P3 In my mind i want to cut off P3 and merge onto Q1 to get: T1 T2 -- -- P1 Q1 P2 P3 Instead (unless I remember!) I often get: T1 T2 -- -- P1 P3 P2 Q1 And i have to do it again. What would be great is the option on the final merge page to

Re: complete: martha 0.2 (5.1 ready) - 18 years ago

hey Dissurion thanks for Martha i'm now on 5.2 with emerald (with a blue colour scheme), it's easy on the eye and my users are very happy but without Martha i would not have used Phorum at all and would have missed out on a great solution to my problem. thank-you - your design helped me make a very right decision :)

i could not get the mod to work on 5.1. it caused me some problems because once installed, i couldn't get back in as admin either. i gave up through lack of time.

Re: why not auto-change line? - 18 years ago

if you're frequently posting long words (path names for instance), format the text with (code)(/code) - use square brackets - and you get a horizontal scroll bar appearing: jungnerlbhfbzrfbegbsphagjungnerlbhfbzrfbegbsphagjungnerlbjungnerlbhfbzrfbegbsphagjungnerlbhfbzrfbegbsphagjungnerlbhfbzrfbegbsphagjungnerlbhfbzrfbegbsphaghfbzrfbegbsphag

Re: LDAP Question - 18 years ago

i've read the LDAP module's code but have admit i never managed to get it going on phorum 5.1 IIRC the code simply looks up the supplied username and authenticates against the ldap server. if that user has not registered on phorum before, it additionally creates the user in the phorum database. it does nothing else AFAICS.

Re: User Authentication External - understanding question - 18 years ago

there is an LDAP module for Phorum 5.1 - you could download that (registration required and it's not on this site, but there is a link) i never got it to work on 5.1, and i know it won't work on 5.2 - but the code looks sensible so maybe you can get an idea from it for something you may have missed in your code?

feature - forums that are not visible are not listed in the pull down forum menu for this module when message list filtering - that is as you would expect. however this mod will list messages in forums that are not visible if the "from any forum" filter is applied. i'm not raising this as a security issue, just pointing out a slight inconsistency in the "user experi

i've tried recreating my problem on a test forum and i can't. that's good for you, and bad for me :) maybe it's a problem with just one thread on one particular forum - unfortunately, i can't show you as it's behind a firewall on an intranet. if i do manage to recreate the problem i'll try and debug it and create a patch

Re: Module: Embed Images - 18 years ago

one minor feature with this module... in a post with for example 3 images, when you click on image 1, you get image 2 instead and have to click PREV for the one you actually clicked if you click image 3, it comes up as image "2 of 3", them image 1 is "3 of 3" my guess is something's not getting initialised at the right time. if i had the time i'd take a loo

yellow is negative blue, so you could take your saphire and then invert all channels - a hex calculator with a NOT function would do it for you very quickly.

Re: After update Phorum acts very slow - 18 years ago

QuotemmakaayYou need to update your language file. It's missing the key "Home", which provides the string for the start of the breadcrumbs. There's not an empty string there (that's why the breadcrumbs start with ">"). that's amazing - i'm interested, how did you debug that?

Re: Easy to upgrade to 5.2? - 18 years ago

like Maurice says really. things i like that are straight out the box: 1) emerald template (if you don't want this green one, there is a read and a blue one with the same tonal balance here) 2) better searching 3) better navigation if you have mutiple folders and/or forums then there are better modules - i immediately installed: bbcode_spoiler embed_attachments embed_images
