Mod Of Choice For Phpbb which one?

hello,
i just wanna open the discussion for those phpbb users. here we go,
- so, after you've installed the phpbb and run, which mod did you first install?
- and what are the mods of your choice for phpbb?
there are lot of hacks for phpbb on its main site, phpbbhack dot com and others..
for me, my first mod to install then after phpbb is Categories hierarchy by Ptirhiik.
let me hear yours!

I once tried adding a mod to an old forum of mine. It didn't work, and messed up everything.

So I've never added a mod since to anything. Personally I feel it may decrease security, but usually the mods provided by phpbb.com and phpbbhacks.com are relatively safe, and well tested before their release.

I guess if I had to choose a mod, it would be this: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=289928

That is the weirdest mod I have ever seen for a forum. I wonder if there is a similar mod for other forum software?

It is rather wierd. I am not sure if it's a good idea for professional forums of a serious nature, or any forum that has paranoid members. I'd probably freak out if I got admin properties a day after joining - could be a little risky, hehe. Not that it isn't fun, though, as long as you use it sparingly

it could be.. but the official phpbb still didn't support for sub category and forum(hopefully in version 3).. this mod is the best to deal. it's also one of the phpbb official release mod, too.

 

and these two mods are very synchronizing and also best mods to add then after FIND input and RSS Content Syndicator.

 

Blog mod is also very interesting and looking nice.. but it's still under beta state.. which mean try with your own risk!

 

adding mod to your forum is one of the best to way to learn the php, mysql, template and language,css html mark up..

 

for the Dark God, why not try again and suggest that do back-up before whenever you modify! well, i will try that mod when in 1st April again

Quick reply. Definitely. It's so nice to have a small box you can type text in immediately and then hit "Submit".

oh yah! that's cutie pie. i didn't try yet but i saw it. i gonna mod that one. same as you 10/10 rating..

 

EasyMOD so I could install mods easily without having to manually add to my PHP Files. I'm too lazy to add the mods in the files by my self but if a mod isn't compatible with EasyMOD and I really want the mod, then I add them manually. I just think adding mods manually takes too long.

EasyMOD!! i knew that somebody would talk about it. for me, i did admire the way how it work. but i totally don't recommand this mod right now. because the mod is still under development and if you happen to use this, you don't know at all about what you really modified on your phpbb. until those moders standardize on writing mod format then EastMOD will be more powerful. somemore you can't learn anything, that's my opinion.

 

of course, very lazy to mod but want to get moded in your phpbb then try those out!

Fully moded phpBB

Przemo version of phpBB

 

I've used Easy Mod for a couple of modifications, and it's worked out pretty well. Not without hiccoughs, though. My policy is to manually fix the errors run retured by easy Mod, and modify the install file accordingly - i.e., remove the steps which you carried out yourself I prefer to do the SQL myself, can't risk it with 'beta quality software'.

The first MOD I installed was the attachment mod. Then the category hierarchy mod, which worked beautifully (so far, at least) and then the cash mod. However, the last two turned out to be slightly incompatible, and I had to make some non-trivial (well, non-trivial imo, since it took me SO long to figure out what was wrong ) changes. I guess I'd love to install a shoutbox and a photo gallery in the future. In fact, I'm planning to do so soon enough.

fully modded phpbb is good but check this and this thread before you start using phpbbfm

 

here is another moded phpbb.

but still wanna recommand, "mod yourself"

 

today, i wanna introduce "phpbb auction mod.." here is a main site... it's also one of the best mod. the lastest version (s-project) is introducing totally standalone verion to phpbb. the previous version 1.3m is still as a mod, ported to phpbb. but one comment is that pls read this article before you start using it. there is some security risk as this mod can do something alike bidding and paypal system,etc..

nice day,

I Installed 2 mods and I am very happy with them both (I can't pick one its not possible). I installed Easy Mod because I am not very skilled at this whole mod installation. I also installed Cash Mod. I figured Cash Mod will help develope forum talent because people will beable to buy sigs and other stuff.

dun worry, try yourself to mod manual.. you will learn a lot.. the only thing is that you need to give times.. yap i agree with cash mod which is nice mod for forum activity..

 

today, i will intro phpBB Janitor Cleaning phpBB SQL Tables to regain original vanilla table

 

at last, by modding phpbb you dont worry to loose your data... happy modding..

I havnt really installed any mods,just a new skin ,and gave it a working over...lol.Has anyone here added chat to there forum?Can it be found,and done for free....hehehe wow likes free.

Nice topic, well first I would install easy MOD so I can install many mods easy. So after that I install Cash Mod its a good mod, you can easy edit it and add modules on it. For example store mod, you can add dynamic things that visitors or users can buy from you. And in cash mod for evry post a user makes, he earns money and its you who dicides how much the user will earn for evry post he is making.And of course it has flood control where you can dicide how many times an user can earn for evry post.So this would me my frist two mods that I install to my phpbb.
