[Mageia-dev] PHP + phpBB mod capabilities needed to fix bug 1956 - please help

[Marja van Waes]

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 :)
