  • Liven Up Your phpBB Forum

    I have brought some modifications together for your phpBB forums , most of them add a bit of fun to your forum, there are some security ones plus one or two for stile.
    Warning : I strongly advise that set up a testforum if you plan to make any changes to your forum, it is better to test it first before install on your main forum.

    The link submission page allows visitors to submit their site to the links page. Their info is added to the database, and an email is dispatched to the admin with a carbon copy to the person submitting the link. If the admin approves of the link exchange, he/she will go to the ACP and activate it, after that it will show up on the links page.

    Word censorship is also applied, which is very important on the index. Only titles of readable forums are shown.

    http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/5782 (UploadPic) This hack allows users to add an image link through the posting box and then the picture will be uploaded and displayed in the topic. It will be re-sized if it is too big (based upon your settings).
    Images can be rotated by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. Images larger than the file size that you set will be rejected. The administrator can manage the uploaded images through the ACP. You can delete images that have "expired" (i.e. it has been a certain period of time since they were posted) as well as any images that you like one by one or all with one click.
    You can grant upload permissions to individual users, a minimum number of posts can be set before a user (with permission) is allowed to upload. Guests cannot upload images. Users are able to view their uploaded pictures in a gallery. A powerful watermark feature is included.
    You can upload a series of pictures without closing the upload window. You can view the latest X pictures in the admin panel with the choice of deleting or censoring (replacing inappropriate pictures with a standard image) pictures. Uploaded pictures can be used in posts as well as avatars or signatures.
    UploadPic supports virtual directories and has a special feature for local forums and domains with domain forwarding.

    http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=145513&highlight=mulit+bbcode ( Multiple BBCode MOD ) Allows you to install BBCode MODs that add quick BBCode buttons in post edits. Without this MOD, there is no standard way of installing BBCode MODs.

    Not by entering filename, description and code one by one. You just upload the pack file that is configured beforehand and automatically your smilie graphic library is added.
    This program is made to help people create smilie packs quickly and easily.

    http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/4724 (Smilie Categories Hack) This hack allows the forum administrator to manage 200+ smilies better by creating categories to put the smilies in. Each category can therefore have a theme, like default, speech bubbles, placards, food, animals, cars, guns, etc.
    Categories can be hidden or reordered with ease and the smilies in them can be edited and ordered with ease also.
    A unique feature is being able to display a list of all the smilies in the smiles folder that aren't installed yet. A few clicks is all it takes install them.

      Just a little update on Racefan anti bot on websites , have a look at this
      http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/6697
      Anti Bot Question Hack
      This hack is a text based captcha to prevent spam bot registrations and spam bot guest postings. A question, randomly selected from a question pool, is added to the registration form and/or the posting form for guests. This question must be answered correctly to complete the registration or posting successfully.

      The hack is administrated via the ACP. New questions can be added to the question pool, old questions can be deleted or edited. You can disable/enable the registration form protection and the posting form protection separately.

      This hack is compatible with Select Default Language. Different questions can be defined for each language.

          If i was you i wouldn't put a new skin on, as this will course you one big headache, unless you have all the template edit files for all those mods. and if you do don't choose a skin with image or button links.

            I agree with Alien Dude (as usual). Pre-modded forums are convenient, but they limit what you can do if you want to make changes later. It's much, much better to learn how to add MODS yourself - you'll be in a position to handle any problems that may come your way. All of it is easy, you just have to follow the instructions and ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS OF FILES BEFORE EDITING.

              Hello My Friend how Devil are you, long time no see.
              just to add a little something naghosthunter alot of the pages are showimg error on page in the bottom left of page, this usaualy mean that something is amiss in the scripting ether in the tpl or php files. though sometimes this does not hurt it can mean that info is not shown or missplaced, i have checked with the site that you can download these preloaded forums and they are showing the same errors, i know you won't want here this but i srongly agree with Racefan ( Grand Master ) most of those mods or better ones can be added by yourself to a standard phpBB that way you only have what you want or are going to use.

                  The errors on the pages were not down to something you had down as the download site was doing the same thing. i noticed you had taken the links out for most of the stuff but the index is still showing a error but not knowing what the scripts look like it's hard to say what is corsing it. i might download a copy and have a look.

                            Click here you may have to register to read some of the posts but most of the info on installing is there, i am at moment do up some videos to go with these, but most of the installation threads have a step by step with images to what you want to do. so if you get stuck or don't understand something just post agian. most mods are done though editing the phpbb files this can be done manualy using a script editer or you can use a program called easymod which will install mods for you but even then you may have to edit some files your sef.
