phpBB modifications currently in use here

Postby Brad Reddekopp » Thu Mar 23, 2006 03:40

At this time, the following MODs are in use on the GOTG board. I will edit this post when MODs are added or dropped. Unless stated otherwise, MODs listed here were in use as of September 23, 2007. (Some of the commentary in following posts refers to MODs that are no longer in use.)

MODs in red are not yet online because I recently did a clean re-install of the board.

Admins and Moderators can ignore and be ignored
Not an official MOD. It's a simple change suggested by eviL<3 on the phpBB support board here: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 5#p7653655

                               foreach ($auth->acl_get_list($user_id_ary, array('a_', 'm_')) as $forum_id => $forum_ary)
                               {
                                  foreach ($forum_ary as $auth_option => $user_ary)
                                  {
                                     $perms = array_merge($perms, $user_ary);
                                  }
                               }

                               $perms = array_unique($perms);

                               if (sizeof($perms))
                               {
                                  $error[] = $user->lang['NOT_ADDED_FOES_MOD_ADMIN'];
                               }

                               // This may not be right ... it may yield true when perms equate to deny
                               $user_id_ary = array_diff($user_id_ary, $perms);
                               unset($perms);
                            }

Basically, if you remove the whole block you should be able to add admins and moderators as foes.

Modification description: Advanced Visual Anti Bot is an effective solution for preventing spambot. It replace the default visual confirmation background with a random picture.

[RC1] Prime Anti-bot - Anti-spambot Text Verification
Modification name: Prime Anti-bot
Author: primehalo
Modification description: Implements a text-based human validation system in order to verify that a form submitter is human and not a SPAM robot. It will remember a successful validation so the user won't have to re-validate each time. The validation phrases/questions and responses are fully customizable; you can put as many or as few as you want (one is picked from the list at random each time it's needed). Can be configured to validate on new registrations and guest postings.
Modification version: RC1

If you want to browse, other MODs that are available are listed and described here: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=230887

Not all MODs are compatible with other MODs, though, so not everything on that list is a good canditade for us.

(Many of the MODs now in use will probably be incorporated into phpBB3, codenamed "phpBB Olympus", as standard features. The first public beta is due out soon.)

Updated. I've removed the "50 characters in message" MOD because it was wrecking any URL longer than 50 characters. If that problem gets fixed, I'll reinstall it.

The thread for this MOD on phpBB.com is here: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=2244831

Reinstated the "50 characters in message" MOD. The author has been very responsive to my feedback.
