How to protect the file config.php

dummy@example.com (Smartys) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:01:45 +0000

Putting it outside of the web directory fixes one issue (the ability to directly view it if mod_php is disabled). But it doesn't fix the typo issue: to do that you need to move the format away from raw PHP and to an actual configuration format (ie: an INI file).

Showing logged in user status on the Wordpress site.

That means you need to define PUN_ROOT in your WordPress theme, too.

Probably to something like this:

define('PUN_ROOT', dirname(__FILE__).'/../../../forum/');

Intermittent Error: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server.

dummy@example.com (dmagus) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:11:13 +0000

The web server communicates with the database server through an network socket rather than a domain (IPC) socket (in my configuration). All of the network traffic goes through a packet filter. There was a 'set skip on lo' rule to avoid filtering on the loopback interface but later in the rule set I think a 'block all' default deny policy might have undone the 'set skip on lo' rule... Not sure. Still have some tinkering and postmortem experimenting to do but bypassing the priority queueing seems to have fixed the "Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server" problem.

HOWTO: Enable debug mode

dummy@example.com (Franz) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:33:25 +0000

When debug mode is enabled, FluxBB will display

- more detailed error messages if/when something goes wrong.
- script generation time in the footer.
- no. of queries executed in the footer.

You can enable debug mode by adding this line to your config.php:

define('PUN_DEBUG', 1);

To get even more detailed information on queries, you can also add this line:

define('PUN_SHOW_QUERIES', 1);

NOTE: Debug mode is only intended for debugging and should be turned off again when you are done with debugging. This is especially relevant for the second constant which adds query information to every single page, not just error pages.

How to remove board title in header, add link to image instead?

What program did you use to open main.tpl? It should never be empty, else your forum would not work.
With this approach, you could simply edit every theme's main.tpl differently (use the default include/template/main.tpl if the style doesn't have one).

Nevermind, it was blank with textedit but worked with dreamweaver.

"Add" forum to my site? Help

dummy@example.com (Franz) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:19:00 +0000

Are you trying to integrate FluxBB into your WordPress site (so that it has the same header including menu)?

If so, there is a tutorial I wrote: http://www.develophp.org/2010/05/23/int … te-part-1/

char vs. varchar

Hi,

The Password field in mysql.user is char(41) latin1_bin

Multiple Domains

dummy@example.com (Mpok) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:38:50 +0000

Sure.

But we don't yet have the 'functionality list' of the future 2.0.

Having a 'multiple domains' one COULD be (should, in my mind) one of the new features.
(and rather simple to implement).
That's what i suggested.

Multisite support?

dummy@example.com (Franz) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:39:51 +0000

Well, FluxBB does not allow to do this by default, and it requires heavy modifications.

There have been threads about this topic, you could have found them. Maybe this will help you:

Hi,

Sorry, it was the copy and paste form the French Wiki that suppress escaped quotes.

turkce dil paketi (Turkish language package)

Assuming you're asking where you can find the Turkish language pack (thanks, Google Translate):
there doesn't seem to be one at the moment. You can see all currently available language packs in this list.
