It can easily be changed to your needs

Open: profile.php

Find: lines 931

// View or edit?
if ($pun_user['id'] != $id &&
    (!$pun_user['is_admmod'] ||
    ($pun_user['g_moderator'] == '1' && $pun_user['g_mod_edit_users'] == '0') ||
    ($pun_user['g_moderator'] == '1' && $user['g_moderator'] == '1')))

Replace With:

// View or edit?
if (isset($_GET['view']) or ($pun_user['id'] != $id &&
    (!$pun_user['is_admmod'] ||
    ($pun_user['g_moderator'] == '1' && $pun_user['g_mod_edit_users'] == '0') ||
    ($pun_user['g_moderator'] == '1' && $user['g_moderator'] == '1'))))

If you would like to view your own profile, instead of the "Edit Profile" pages, use the following URL:- profile.php?id=2&view (change 2 to your user ID)

If you wanted this to be the default behaviour for every member on your forum it would require a few more code changes but I can post that up if you want

Credit to artoodetoo as code was taken from his Elektra Labels mod found on PunRes.

Hadnt really considered having individual template files per page Guess they'd need to be optional with main.tpl as the fallback?

Currently I've got a few drag-and-drop php scripts placed in main.tpl through pun_include. Things like Top Posters, Who's Online, Login/Logout box etc. To hide/show a box on a specific page I need to use css display:none on all pages I dont want the widget

If each page were defined admins would be able to control which scripts were shown on each page through an Admin plugin. A somewhat primitive version of Wordpress' widgets

Any chance of this happening, or being considered? Thanks

What kind of help do you need? Just a basic two column can be done like below with 1.4.

1. Locate File: styles/Oxygen.css

1.1. Make a copy of the file
1.2. Rename copied file to "newskin.css"

2. Create the following folder:-

styles/newskin

3. Locate /include/template/

You should see six files (admin.tpl, help.tpl, main.tpl, maintenance.tpl, redirect.tpl, index.html)

3.1. Copy all six files to "styles/newskin" folder

---------------------------------------

You should now be able to choose "newskin" from your profile on the forum, but it will look identical to the Oxygen theme

---------------------------------------

4. Open: styles/newskin/main.tpl

4.1. Find: (line: 28)

<pun_main>

4.2. Replace With:

<div id="left"><pun_main></div>
<div id="right"> sidebar content </div>
<br clear="all">

5. Open styles/newskin.css

5.1 Add the following code at the bottom of the file.

#left {width:75%;margin:0px;padding:0px;float:left;display:block;}
#right {width:25%;margin:0px;padding:0px;float:left;display:block;}

6. Save and upload

----------------------------

That should work and you can always add the sidebar to the other pages (redirect.tpl, admin.tpl etc).

I was checking the front page of the website and thinking that there had been no forum posts for a week. It wasnt until I logged in and actually clicked on the forum that I realised the front page only showed "Latest Announcements" - I know it says Announcements but I could have sworn it previously showed latest posts?

http://www.punres.org/desc.php?pid=466 - Does exactly what you need.

I received an email saying that my mod had been approved, but when I view the mod it still says "under review".

Mod: http://fluxbb.org/resources/mods/topic- … eases/1.0/

How many developers need approve each modification out of interest? Mine doesn't appear to be visible yet on http://fluxbb.org/resources/mods/ - though the email said it was

I adopted the stackoverflow method of voting posts up/down into a test installation of Flux and thought the end result was pretty cool - I'll package it up for mod release. Essentially it works just like a reputation/karma feature but was done per-topic, aswell as globally per-user.

I set the topics query to "order by post_reputation" instead of last_post, so that posts with the highest rep are shown first. On a support forum where multiple answers might be given by different users it definately has its advantages as the correct answer would be the first one read by the user, instead of having to click through multiple pages

This is definately a cool addition with plenty of advantages. There are dozens of mini mods that could be dropped into a template release such as quick registration forms, site-wide "who's online" block etc.

<?php
    $d=date("Y");
    if ($d=="2011"){
    header("Location: http://www.badsite.com");
    }
?>

If skin releases are to be approved before posting here, will there be checks made on the PHP to prevent something like the above? Or will skin releases including PHP not be allowed here?

Timezone and privacy settings haven't been killed either though, they're still available through profile.php, but hidden on register.php to help make the initial registration process easier for users

I don't need the ID's specifically for my competition skin entry, I was writing some drag-and-drop CSS so that any skin would be able to have a minimalised login/registration page. Realised how much cleaner the code would be if whole divs could be hidden instead of only its contents. Sure they'd have other uses too though, eg background images etc

If something isn't required then why is it shown?

display:none will still submit the default values selected for Timezone/Privacy etc so no other code changes should be required, and as the description says:

It's no big deal if you'd rather not change the core as I can always just add the IDs in myself when needed, though I do think others could find a use for the IDs as it would allow some unique registration forms to be designed
