Mod Of Choice For Phpbb - which one?

badinfluence
hello,
i just wanna open the discussion for those phpbb users. here we go,
- so, after you've installed the phpbb and run, which mod did you first install?
- and what are the mods of your choice for phpbb?
there are lot of hacks for phpbb on its main site, phpbbhack dot com and others..
for me, my first mod to install then after phpbb is Categories hierarchy by Ptirhiik.
let me hear yours! rolleyes.gif

I once tried adding a mod to an old forum of mine. It didn't work, and messed up everything. dry.gif

So I've never added a mod since to anything. Personally I feel it may decrease security, but usually the mods provided by phpbb.com and phpbbhacks.com are relatively safe, and well tested before their release.

I guess if I had to choose a mod, it would be this: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=289928 biggrin.gif

That is the weirdest mod I have ever seen for a forum. smile.gif I wonder if there is a similar mod for other forum software?

It is rather wierd. I am not sure if it's a good idea for professional forums of a serious nature, or any forum that has paranoid members. I'd probably freak out if I got admin properties a day after joining - could be a little risky, hehe. Not that it isn't fun, though, as long as you use it sparingly smile.gif

it could be.. but the official phpbb still didn't support for sub category and forum(hopefully in version 3).. this mod is the best to deal. it's also one of the phpbb official release mod, too.

and these two mods are very synchronizing and also best mods to add then after FIND input and RSS Content Syndicator.

Blog mod is also very interesting and looking nice.. but it's still under beta state.. which mean try with your own risk!

adding mod to your forum is one of the best to way to learn the php, mysql, template and language,css html mark up..

for the Dark God, why not try again and suggest that do back-up before whenever you modify! well, i will try that mod when in 1st April again biggrin.gif

Quick reply. Definitely. It's so nice to have a small box you can type text in immediately and then hit "Submit". smile.gif

EasyMOD so I could install mods easily without having to manually add to my PHP Files. I'm too lazy to add the mods in the files by my self but if a mod isn't compatible with EasyMOD and I really want the mod, then I add them manually. I just think adding mods manually takes too long.

EasyMOD!! i knew that somebody would talk about it. for me, i did admire the way how it work. but i totally don't recommand this mod right now. because the mod is still under development and if you happen to use this, you don't know at all about what you really modified on your phpbb. until those moders standardize on writing mod format then EastMOD will be more powerful. somemore you can't learn anything, that's my opinion.

of course, very lazy to mod but want to get moded in your phpbb then try those out!

I've used Easy Mod for a couple of modifications, and it's worked out pretty well. Not without hiccoughs, though. My policy is to manually fix the errors run retured by easy Mod, and modify the install file accordingly - i.e., remove the steps which you carried out yourself biggrin.gif I prefer to do the SQL myself, can't risk it with 'beta quality software'.

The first MOD I installed was the attachment mod. Then the category hierarchy mod, which worked beautifully (so far, at least) and then the cash mod. However, the last two turned out to be slightly incompatible, and I had to make some non-trivial (well, non-trivial imo, since it took me SO long to figure out what was wrong tongue.gif ) changes. I guess I'd love to install a shoutbox and a photo gallery in the future. In fact, I'm planning to do so soon enough.

"the best moders for phpbb"

Ptirhiik and the two links are RPG Net Demo and CH mod. be ware when you using his mod, because of high demand, the original phpbb configuration has been changed in some critical files. but save as the phpbb mod team announced that Ptirhiik MODs being released without validation. Ptirhiik famous in CH and PCP mod.

Nuttzy99, also phpbb mod team member. Nuttzy99's links are phpBB.com itself and area51(phpBB3 CVS). Nuttzy, famous in EasyMOD and spelling cow.

Niels Chr. Denmark and the link is MODS.DB9 Niels, famous in Birthday,Gender and Shoutbox mods..

Xore, famous in CashMod.. xore site blog nothing much about cashmod and maintain in phpBB main site

Acyd Burn and the attachment mod is the most popular mod for phpbb.

Smartor is famous in ezPortal, Chat mod and photo gallery.

FB-ke mods are nice.. mysql db generator, password protected forum/topics..

Sko22 have nice Optimize Database and phpBBlog mods..

well, actually a lot more folks and their stuffs are still out there... i will come back with my research soon. you can also have a say about your research here, too.

for photos hosting web develpoer, Coppermine gallery have a linkage to phpbb which you can have one time user registeration at phpbb and the user can access both forum and gallery in one account. find "cpg_redir" about in coppermine. so that you can save headache to mod about gallery in phpbb! smile.gif

Nice topic, well first I would install easy MOD so I can install many mods easy. So after that I install Cash Mod its a good mod, you can easy edit it and add modules on it. For example store mod, you can add dynamic things that visitors or users can buy from you. And in cash mod for evry post a user makes, he earns money and its you who dicides how much the user will earn for evry post he is making.
And of course it has flood control where you can dicide how many times an user can earn for evry post.

So this would me my frist two mods that I install to my phpbb. wink.gif

I Installed 2 mods and I am very happy with them both (I can't pick one its not possible). I installed Easy Mod because I am not very skilled at this whole mod installation. I also installed Cash Mod. I figured Cash Mod will help develope forum talent because people will beable to buy sigs and other stuff.

today, i wanna introduce "phpbb auction mod.." here is a main site... it's also one of the best mod. the lastest version (s-project) is introducing totally standalone verion to phpbb. the previous version 1.3m is still as a mod, ported to phpbb. but one comment is that pls read this article before you start using it. there is some security risk as this mod can do something alike bidding and paypal system,etc..

nice day,

    common but tghey are not used nearly as much as Invision or PHPBB. And for all of you that aer

    nicer forum?...
