Re: MOD Installation

I'd prefer to see these kind of actions in a separate file instead of mixing file changes and db changes. I don't mind having it in separate files for clarity and such, I just think that having to first apply all the code changes with one program and then apply the sql with another is too much. Per...

Re: MOD Installation

I think that including AutoMOD (or similar) into the core of 3.1 would be a great move for phpBB; this is one major complaint I've heard across the board; SMF has a package installer and MyBB MODs are easier to install via the ACP, but phpBB still requires manual file changes. So to include this wou...

Re: Name of new files only containing classes

@ evil: I have created a class loader method, which I have used in a couple of different projects, and which could be adapted for this situation if needed. Of course if there is a better way of doing this, that's fine, but I figured I'd provide my way so that it didn't have to be done from scratch ...

Re: Name of new files only containing classes

I read somewhere that phpBB was switching to predominantly camel case... wouldn't that mean that class files would have to be like...fileUpload instead of file_upload? EDIT: Actually, I think that was for 4.0, not 3.1, so scratch that. xD As for singular/plural, I think that language should become l...

Re: The team page

I agree with bantu's idea of implementation as well. @EXreaction: I think that the more options for customization, the better. "Overkill" is a matter of opinion, and things can be added into an "advanced" options box that contains generally used defaults automatically set if the ...

Re: Add User ACP

I have had need of this feature for various reasons. To be honest, whether or not all board admins will utilize in all cases is irrelevent. There is a User Management feature and when I think about managing, I think about Adding, Modifying, and Deleting (those are the three main features, among othe...

Re: php source reformat script for braces

I actually came up with a serious reply, but I am convinced it will take this thread way off topic. If you wish to continue discussing indentation we could do so in another thread. I agree that correct is subjective, but I won't go into that any further. I like the phpBB way because it makes things...

Re: [RFC] Pre-Compile Template Includes

I think that this would be a great idea. I know firsthand how difficult it is to update multiple styles to support even a couple MODs. Having the template edits compiled through includes and PHP would be a great alternative.
