That's great MartectX. I shall wait and then move to 3.0.7

Hi MartectX I'm using Skyline Green 1.0.5 under 3.0.6 and everything is fine (great style) except I have no captcha. Now the spammer robots have found my site i'm getting an increase in registrations which I am administering manually. I scanned the code in Skyline Blue 1.0.6 and found just 4 modules...

Hi As an aside, your board says: Welcome to the Border Forums, your local online community. It doesn't say what or where the community is - e.g. is it about Mexican-USA border and is the community people smugglers ;) I don't think anyone "passing by" is going to sign up out of curiosity. J...

Can the Guest group be disabled completely, including the ability to browse? Just be aware that if you implement the RSS Feed option that will return nothing. I did some patches for Feed to ignore permissions and to just return the topic titles (not the post text). See http://www.phpbb.com/communit...

Hi ameeck That's a much more elegant solution. I will try it! Thank you. :) - Edit: tested and working :D For those reading this post, it might be of interest as to what foxed me initially. Sometimes I was getting posts and at other times not. I thought it was my use of a different browser. But actu...

Hi ameeck Many thanks for replying Are your forums readable by guests? Oh! Penny has dropped! :o No they are not. It's a closed user group (for members) and within the board is a further closed user section (for committee). I'm trying to feed the latest post headlines through to the group's web site...

I'm starting my previous post again as I was reporting symptoms rather than root cause Feed.php is not returning any posts, just the feed (board) title. The problem seems to be with the SQL calls to get the relevant feeds, i.e. in function get_sql() The code seems to be doing various filtering with ...

I've done some more investigation by means of installing SimplePie, a php RSS feed handler. SimplePie worked with other sites (e.g. BBC News) but not with my site, only displaying the site title. Edit: deleted remainder of post as a dead end. I've installed my own RSS handler and worked back up the ...

Hi I thought I would try the Feed option. On the ACP I included just one forum and excluded all the rest [I'm puzzled why one can't simply just include the wanted forums, but that's a side issue] Putting the url http://discuss.bissmeadows.org.uk/feed.php into FireFox 3.5.5 works - see image upload P...

I've just installed 3.0.6 and noticed (but not tried) that this latest release can now provide RSS feeds of the latest posts. This is something I could well put to use myself. I've done something similar with other RSS feeds where I wrote a server script to take the RSS feed (usually in XML), filter...

Many thanks Brf for a quick reply

I'm much relieved by your reply as I was getting login problems and thought it caused by the loss of the session id. Login problems have gone away. I can breathe again.

I've been making some changes to the code to add extra links to the menus. Whilst everything is working and looks fine I noticed that all my links there are no session ids in the url except the Logout link. I thought at one time all my links had session ids in them but maybe that was why I was chang...

Edit: Created a new post

Many thanks ameeck, that solved the problem.

You seem to be a bit of an ace. Any chance you know the answer to my other outstanding problem:

It's been there a month but no one has offered an answer.

Hi, Spent good hour or more trying to find where the U_ refs are defined. I want some overall forum rules and I've added an icon & link to the overall header <li class="icon-faq"><a href="{U_RULES}" title="{L_RULES_EXPLAIN}">{L_RULES}</a></li> and added the L_ attri...
