Consider viewforum powered by punbb. Automatic detection of the forum engine. Removing pop-up advertisements Advertisement Ads By
PunBB is a free CMS for the forum, the main difference of which is the built-in capabilities for internal SEO optimization, which are absent even in a number of paid forum engines.
Examples of forums on PunBB can be found by typing into search bar Yandex or Google queries Powered by PunBB or The forum is powered by PunBB. You can download PunBB from the official website http://punbb.informer.com/, where you can also find punbb extensions, themes and templates.
Installing PunBB: how to install the forum
Installing PunBB is very simple, so even an inexperienced webmaster can handle it.
- Download the archive with installation files from the official website, unpack it and upload it to your hosting.
To do this, you can use any FTP manager, for example FileZilla.
If you need Russification of PunBB, download the archive with Russian localization files from the official website and copy the Russian folder to the lang directory.
- Open the link http://mydomain/myforums/install.php in your browser and follow the installer's instructions.
You need to enter the database name, as well as the username and password in the appropriate fields. You can find out all this information from your hoster. If you don't have a database, create one.
In the penultimate window, enter your login, password and email administrator.
In the forum settings, select the Russian language.
- Installation is complete. You can log into your forum using your administrator username and password.
PunBB Settings: Forum SEO Optimization
Go to the Administration control point, where you can add new categories and forums, as well as set basic settings.
For better ranking of the forum, go to Administration – Management – Settings and select the File-based (fancy) URL scheme. This will allow you to configure the CNC url in PunBB, which will have a beneficial effect on your promotion in the future.
In its original form, PunBB has very little functionality, which can be easily expanded using plugins. Installing extensions on PunBB is very simple: you just need to copy them to the Extensions directory, and then activate them in the “Extensions” section of the admin panel.
Official PunBB extensions can be downloaded from https://github.com/punbb/extensions.
The list of official extensions is given below:
- pun_admin_add_user (adding users through a special form)
- pun_admin_clear_cache (clearing the forum cache) pun_admin_manage_extensions_improved (working with extensions)
- pun_approval (approval of all new users and messages)
- pun_attachment (attaching files to messages)
- pun_bbcode (BB codes)
- pun_colored_usergroups (different colors for each user group)
- pun_forum_news (using topics and messages as news)
- pun_jquery (jQuery lib)
- pun_move_posts (move a message from one topic to another)
- pun_pm (private messages)
- pun_poll (voting)
- pun_stop_bots (several questions during registration to prevent bots from appearing on the forum
- pun_tags (tags)
- pun_repository (get extensions directly from the repository)
To change appearance forum, you need to download PunBB styles and choose the most suitable one among them. You can also order a style from professionals or make changes to the finished style yourself by editing CSS files.
Whatever one may say, for an inexperienced user the Internet can hide a huge number of unpleasant surprises. What do I mean? Of course it's a great app. Advertisement Powered By, which, although it does not disrupt the operation of the system, forcibly inserts a large amount of advertising onto almost every open site. Even special antiviruses cannot remove Advertisement Powered By, and the modified fake home page in the browser can get on your nerves the most. Today I want to tell you how to remove Advertisement Ads By albireo from your computer, describing all the necessary steps step by step. Well, let's get started!
Most often, Advertisement Powered By gets to your computer in two ways:
- When downloading unscrupulous files posing as something else.
- As a program from partners in the installation file of another program.
Protect yourself from this ad virus, two things help me - an active antivirus and being careful when installing programs (uncheck the boxes during installation). However, if an infection has already occurred, the antivirus will no longer help - it’s time to figure it out yourself.
Removing pop-up advertisements Advertisement Ads By
The first step is to uninstall using the usual built-in utility (uninstall programs). To do this:
- Close the browser and all its processes (if necessary, finish through the “Task Manager”).
- "Start" button - "Control Panel" - "Uninstall a program".
- Find “Advertisement Powered By” in the list and click on “Delete”.
In addition, you can delete the application folder outside of this tab. You can see how to do this in this video:
Here's how to find a location desired folder Advertisement and delete simply through right button mice. We are talking about a program with a slightly different name, but it works on an identical principle and the method is universal.
Removing traces of Advertisement Powered By from the browser
I also noticed the appearance of a new extension from this program in my browser, so I began to remove it. In order to do this, each browser has its own specific command, for example.
- In Google Chrome it is: “Alt + F” - “Tools” - “Extensions”. In this list we find Advertisement Powered By - uncheck the box and click on the trash can.
- IN Mozilla Firefox: “Shift + Ctrl + A” – After that, the same thing.
- Internet Explorer: “Alt + T” - “toolbar” - “Disable Advertisement Powered By albireo” - “More information” and confirm by clicking on “Disable”.
Cleaning the registry
Using programs to clean remaining infected files
An antivirus will not help you remove the Advertisement Ads By triangulum program! But the list of useful utilities includes AdwCleaner and UnhackMe. After launching the first one, it scans the entire system and, having given a complete list of viruses, offers to remove them, which is what I did.
Then we restart the computer and launch UnhackMe. Her main task this is to remove all viruses and rootkits responsible for the redirection search query, to the same sites with advertising. The essence of use is identical to the first program, but after use, I advise you to immediately delete it. It works well, even too well, constantly reminding itself and checking the system again and again. That's all, I hope you found what you were looking for!
Let's start right away with the main script code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# which-forum.pl script
# (c) 2010 Alexandr A Alexeev, http://site/
use strict;
# commented lines - for rigor
# if the task is to collect engine statistics, leave it as is
# if you make a list of forums - uncomment
my $data ;
$data .= $_while (<>
)
;
# check how much was Powered by phpBB without a link in the footer You will find this and other scripts mentioned in the post in this archive. Script which-forum.pl examines the HTML page code to see if it contains signatures of the forum engine. We used a similar technique when defining WordPress and Joomla, but there are a couple of differences. Firstly, the script itself does not load the page code, but reads it from stdin or a file passed as an argument. This allows you to download the page once, for example, using wget, and then run it through several analyzers, if we have more than one. Secondly, in this script the presence of a signature is 100% a sign of the engine. Last time, the presence of a signature only added weight to the corresponding engine and the engine with the greatest weight “won”. I decided that in this case, such an approach would only unnecessarily complicate the code. To test the script, I did some research. I compiled a list of several thousand forums and ran each of them through my script, thereby determining the percentage of program responses and the popularity of various engines. To get the list of forums, I used my Google parser. Search engine requests like site:forum.*.ru and so on. You will find the complete query generator code in the file gen-forumsearch-urls.pl. In addition to zone.ru, .su .ua .kz and .by were also used. Last time, it was difficult to conduct such a study, since WordPress and Joomla sites do not have such signatures in the URL. Catalogs like cmsmagazine.ru/catalogue/ do not provide a sufficient sample size. What is 600 Drupal sites? I must admit, the results of the experiment disappointed me. Of the 12,590 sites studied, the engine was successfully identified on only 7,083, that is, only in 56% of cases. Maybe I didn't take into account some engine? Was it really true that half of the forums had Bitrix installed? Or should I have spent more time searching for signatures? In general, additional research is required here. Among the 56% of successfully identified engines, the most popular, as one would expect, were IPB (31%), phpBB (26.6%) and vBulletin (26.5%) They are followed with a large lag by SMF (5.8%) and DLEForum (5.3%). My favorite punBB was only in 6th place (1.64%). I wouldn’t advise putting much faith in these figures (they say that every third forum on the RuNet runs on IPB), but certain conclusions can, of course, be drawn. For example, if you intend to make a site on a forum engine and plan to modify the forum, say, pay users $0.01 for each message with automatic withdrawal of funds once a week, then you should choose one of the three most popular engines. The more popular the forum, the greater the chances of finding a programmer who is well versed in it. If no significant changes are expected in the engine, then it may make sense to choose a less popular engine, for example SMF or punBB. This will reduce the number of hacker attacks on your forum and the amount of spam automatically sent on it. Scripts for searching/identifying forums can also be found in more than one practical application. The first thing that came to my mind was to sort the identified forums by TIC and post on the first hundred posts with links to one of my sites. However, hundreds of forum dofollow links did not affect the TCI in any way (2 updates have passed), so it is better not to waste time here, unless you are not interested in transitions. It is clear that the mentioned use of scripts is far from the only one. I think you can easily figure out how else you can use them.
