YaBB Modification Help - Page 2
Well when it comes to upgrading to 1.2/1.3 I don't really care. As long as I have the security patches I am happy. As for just upgrading my board, I want to add more features. I have installed and been playing around with other boards such as YaBBSE, VBullitin, PHPBB2, and Invision. I like the Invision Power Board the best because of the number of features it provides out of the box. Although none of the other boards seem to have the mods available that YaBB (CGI) has. I really want to have more of the functionality features found in PHP boards like the Add More Membergroups YaBB mod, but I don't want to give up all of my "Fun Mods" I currently have in YaBB like Karma, Experience, and Membermap that cannot be found in the PHP boards.
Like I said, my board is for gamers. So it is important to keep it a fun place. All of the fun mods are great extras that many people enjoy and I feel that by moving over to a different board minus those features are going to make the forums really boring. Some people use them just for posting. Although our forums is the heart of our community and having a boring forum will do nothing but hurt us. See where I am coming from?

I'd say upgrade to 1.2 since most of the mods you want are already available for sp1.2... There isn't a big change in code between sp1.1 and sp1.2 so any mod would be easy to upgrade.
BTW, if you are looking into PHP forum system you might want to tyake a look here
https://phpbbfm.com/phpBBFM/home.php
that board has everything you'd ever wish, but its writen in php and its require you to have mySQL installed 'n your server.

Excellent xtrasweetgirl...thanks!
I'm downloading it now. This is what I have been begging people at YaBB to do for the longest of time...to release premodded versions.

Well no doubt Full Modded PHPBB2 is loaded with mods. So many it is going to take awhile to go through and test everything out...although it is the most feature packed version I have seen so far. I would probably end up turning more than half of them off because they wouldn't be needed, but it's always nice to have the option.
I think it is going to be awhile before I convert completely from my existing forums to a new system. With all the looking I have been doing lately I feel like a kid in a candy store (OH! I want that!...and that!) hehehe. Unless I can convince myself I am going to be happy switching to anything I probably won't do it. So I think I may try upgrading YaBB right now. If I can get the addons that I listed then I'll be happy. After that I'll just wait and see what the other forums can come up with.
If I may ask, what kind of setup do you have xtrasweetgirl?

Karma Bar
I am still missing a couple and this is where you guys come in. I thought maybe you could help me squeeze around the code some way or another with the last few.
I would still like to add the Experience Bar. I was running this once upon a time and I would like to have it back. I've got the Experience Bar and Levels package but both seem to be incompatible with my current setup. Since you have all of them working on your board maybe you can help out. What do I need to do/tell you?
xtrasweetgirl, I would like to add your zodiac mod as well, but I am running into some problems. There is one snippet in particular that keeps hanging me up in Display.pl.
Code To Search For
| CODE |
      $yymain .= qq~       $userprofile[11]       $postinfo |
Replace Code
| CODE |
if($test eq $sign[0]) {    $yymain .= qq~ $zodtxt{'2'} ![$sign[0]]($imagesdir/signs/$test.gif)       $userprofile[11]       $postinfo        ~; } else {    $yymain .= qq~       $userprofile[11]       $postinfo        ~; } |
Code My In Display.pl
| CODE | ||||||||
   $yymain .= qq~       $userprofile[11]       $postinfo       |      Â
Also, where can I get the Topic Ratings mod that is comaptible with 1.1 as well as the Off Topic Mod? Post Date: 16th Apr, 2003 - 9:54pm / Post ID: #
