Installing Mods..

[Chuckun]

forgive my stupidity, but I'm new to the script, and I have it on a private, hidden server, just getting to know the Multi-Forums phpBB script.

I was wondering.. To install mods, do I install them just as I would in a normal phpBB? or do the mods have to be edited like they do for portal systems etc.. ?

Thanks :)

Yes, do them just as normal. At least, thats how I do it. :D

You should be able to install them like normal but you will have to place any sql queries that you would normally execute when you install in the new_forum_sql.php so the new forums have the new tables/inserts. Also if new tables were added, you will have to add the uninstall code (DROP TABLE ...) into the delete_forum_sql.php file. You will have to execute the install queries for the forums that already exist, you can do this in phpmyadmin, I will also have a script soon that will execute the queries for every forum so you don't have to manually do each forum.

Thanks,
Derek

Maby we can get people to make installing scripts that you run and they edit the files, just like easy mod but it also does the sql into the sql_install php file and runs the install on exsisting forums. That'd be awesome!
