Re: Insert a function to replace the translated contents of any language into English (British)

Discounting the inaccuracies related to using Google translate it will only translate a displayed page "on the fly" - for what you are asking you would need the Google Translate API which, unfortunately, is not a free service.

Re: phpBB 3.2.0-b2 released


could someone please explain me like to a child what does that do in config.php?

@define('PHPBB_ENVIRONMENT', 'production');
Not sure if I can explain it simply but one new feature in 3.2 is the ability to have different environments. If you look in the cache folder straight after an install ...

Re: [RFC] Refactoring phpbb_version_compare


It basically says something about the board not meeting the requirements of the extension
The problem with that message is is that it is too generic - by using the ext file you can have multiple tests each with their own error message.

What would make life easier would be if an extension ...

Wouldn't that really be just an extension (sorry about the pun) of the Upload Extensions extension?

Re: [RFC] Refactoring phpbb_version_compare

I would agree with using the ext file for this - it can be customised to give more meaningful, and helpful, error messages to the user.

Re: [RFC] Language packs should have .cfg file

I can see the logic in the idea - in fact rather than having another file it could probably be a line in the common.php language file.

The only thing that would be of concern would be that it would not guarantee that all language files were version compatible (and thinking about it the same caveat ...

Re: [PHPBB3-14556] Disapproving posts with notification causes postgreSQL error (> 4,000 characters)

In my view that is not the correct way to solve the problem. Increasing the size of the field means that the problem still exists, admittedly not for another 4k characters. If there is a size limit then it should be checked at the input stage and a controlled error given.

As an aside what are you ...

Re: phpBB 3.2.0-b2 released


my hosting provider OVH doesn't support php 5.3 anymore since march 2015.
That's fair enough - but they must have been/are supporting some later version (5.6?) as PHP7 was only released at the end of last year.

So I would love that phpbb would be more oriented to the future than to the past

Nope - not at all in any way shape or form.

If you want to run phpBB under PHP7 then you will have to wait for phpBB 3.2

I'm waiting for it to be able to change my hosting to PHP7
The same answer that you will always get - when it is ready.

Why the great rush to move to PHP7?
