Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2008 3:52 am Post subject: Suggestions And Hack requests.

Please note that phpbb3 needs time to settle so no hacks will be added until Admin is happy the dust has settled.

Please remember that any hack added takes up Admins time so please only request hacks that are truly beneficial.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know it will not be added for some time (dust settle and all that)

But this hack separates the stickies form the normal posts like on here.

(Please no one try this as it will break your forum, the first part must be added by Admin)

open

Code:

$phpbb_root_path/language/**/viewforum.php

and add the following

// FIND

Code:

// BEFORE ADD:

Code:

$lang = array_merge($lang, array(
'STICKY' => 'Sticky topics'
));

open

Code:

$phpbb_root_path/styles/subSilver/template/viewforum_body.html.

// FIND:

Code:

<tr>
 <td class="row3" colspan="76">{L_ANNOUNCEMENTS}</td>
 </tr>
 
 <tr>
 <td class="row3" colspan="76">{L_TOPICS}</td>
 </tr>

// REPLACE WITH:

Code:

<tr>
 <td class="row3" colspan="76">{L_ANNOUNCEMENTS}</td>
 </tr>
 
 
 <tr>
 <td class="row3" colspan="76">{L_STICKY}</td>
 </tr>
 
 
 <tr>
 <td class="row3" colspan="76">{L_TOPICS}</td>
 </tr>

Agreed. As you say though we need the dust to settle. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2008 3:03 pm Post subject: Auto Groups MOD 0.2.2

Requesting this for the sole purpose of placing all new members on moderation until approved. (until i can find a better way) Auto Groups MOD 0.2.2 Description: This MOD allows administrators to place users into groups automatically, based on the time the user has been registered, the number of posts the user has posted, or the number of warnings the user has been issued. This MOD is fairly mature, and changes will likely be limited to bug fixes. Some performance enhancements may be added as well. It can be used as an effective antispam tool when combined with phpBB3's permissions system and moderator queue. A group can be set up to add users when they reach two posts, and users with less than two posts can have their posts placed in the moderator queue. Spam will never make it to your board again. http://phpbbacademy.com/community...=8e245c9c897b3cbbf87be80a27e36e42 _________________ http://www.saynoto0870.com/ XXVIII/ I/ MCMLXXI

this one might have quite a long wait, no disputing the need for this sort of thing, but it strikes at the heart of phpbb3 and there may be many other contenders in the same area. What makes it doubly iffy is that it needs database mods. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

You clearly have not yet studied phpbb3, that is not a hack you can add your own bbcodes yourself. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

More to the point, why the "I wants" when you clearly have no idea yet what it even there. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

MOD Title: Advanced BBCode Box 3 ( aka ABBC3 ) MOD Description: This MOD adds lots of useful BBCode features and makes the bbcode buttons look just like Microsoft Office. It also improves the functions of phpBB's BBCode function. It adds the bbcode exactly where the cursor is, inserts smilies where the cursor is, and adds more ways to customize posts. The MOD is very fast loading, and is a sleek addition to your phpBB3 board. http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=687885 Again just to point out these are suggestion, i,m not asking for immediate installing , as phpbb3 needs time to settle etc. Screen shot http://www.mssti.com/phpbb3/download/MODS/ABBC3_v106_prosilver.gif _________________ http://www.saynoto0870.com/ XXVIII/ I/ MCMLXXI

As an aside, 3.0 as I understand it, is not meant to be the "end product" 3.2 is in the works and is a lot more than bug fixes. going off on a tangent with hacks early on might end up being a big mistake! The portals and web pages are cool as they stand largely outside of the core code. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

I really don't know, as you know we have blog style forums on phpbb2 which work reasonably well. Would people want the same on phpbb3, or would they want something more separate? I have never liked the idea of seperate myself as I think for blogging to work on a forum it needs tight integration. But I am certainly loath to make that sort of mod to phpbb3 until things have settled down a lot lot more. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

Really not hacks , but there are quite a lot of mods that have been approved by the "phpbb3 Team" in general - is it your intention to install any that have been released? or would these mods impact on how you you have to do "business" to much? _________________ http://archersrest.myfreeforum.org/index.php http://archersrest.zaphod3.myfreeforum.org/ (PHPBB3)
