Development Discussion Board

Since I have not seen references to this anywhere else, I'm seeding the idea here.

If you want to see a terrific example of what phpBB can be, go look at BOB. That board may have some great things under the hood, but you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression -- and it makes a less-than-desirable first impression.

If you want to see a terrific example of what phpBB can be, go look at BOB. http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/ It's a forum AND a technical Q&A board.

Oh, I see you also want a language translation for forum names too. That is trickier. I did leave out some details in my earlier reply, but this is a different animal. My earlier solution is not what you want. For programmatic languages there are the various language files, but you are wanting langu...

I believe the point is to have the site name be configurable per language setting. The "simple" way to implement this would be to put the site name in one of the the language files \language\en\common.php 'SITE_NAME' => 'My Cool Bulletin board', or \language\de\common.php 'SITE_NAME' => 'Mein kühles...

Well this thing is still being written - it is not yet complete!

So I think it needs an update to the date.
