Does Olympus support MOD packages?

Post by manoj »

Hello,
When it means "Modules" in the ACP, does it mean that you can install MODs as packages as in SMF? Because that would be very cool. I heard that there is no "easyMOD" for phpBB3 yet, even though the files are in MODX format. But the SMF package installer is easier than easyMOD, so is that what Module means? I'm pretty sure it doesnt, but just clarifying...
thanks
manoj

That section is for mod authors to put the configuration settings in.

There is no mod loader/installer/other fancy name in phpBB3.

Since phpBB3 is feature frozen one will not be added before release.

Modules doesn't have anything to do with MOD's (modifications). However, from my understanding, it will make it easier for MOD authors, and should result in less file edits for the user installing the MOD.

Ah, I thought he was referring to the hidden .MOD module of the ACP (assuming it is still there). I would say "That'll teach me to skim read", but unfortunately it won't.

Waaaaiiitt..I'm lost here...
What does the /adm modules do?
I was talking about the MOD(ification) installer like in SMF, where you can just browse for the .zip file on your computer and click install..it's even easier than easyMOD because you don't have to upload anything...
thanks,

No, it doesn't have anything to do with that.

And you still have to upload files in SMF, or else they never appear on the server for others to use.
You can never go home again... but I guess you can shop there.
