Hi everyone,
Can someone please help to fix bug 1956?
You don't need to be a regular forum visitor.
We need someone to find and implement a probably existing MOD, needed
to keep forum posts history when unlimited edit time is enabled
From wobo's comment #32:
Capabilities needed:
Well, one could say that anybody who
- knows how to run phpBB as admin and
- has seen a line of php
- knows how to edit code (respecting tags and such)
- knows how to cut&paste
should be able to install an existing MOD (if I'm not mistaken there is one or
more).
I know next to nothing about php coding. But I've been running a phpBB forum
for a couple of years and successfully implemented some MODs in phpBB2 and
phpBB3. With no help (except the phpBB-forum in case of problems).
In practice you have a detailed installation README for each MOD. Like
- open file /foo/bar/doo.php
- Find the line which starts with '......'
- After that add
- "........."
And more such step-by-step guidance
It's easy most times but getting tricky the more the installed phpBB3 differs
from the standard software.
Implementing a MOD which does not already exist (aka writing a MOD) is a whole
different story, of course. So the first step should be searching an existing
MOD with the wanted functionality.
Regards and happy new year :)
