does anyone know how to install this nofloodlimit mod the readme aint 100% clear

i think i've done it right and that the errors i get are due to it being for a slightly older version of phpbb but im not sure.

thanks, forgot to mention is there a newer version of that mod as the example they show doesnt appear the same way in the file they ask to edit. which makes it that bit harder to change however i still want to know how to put this mod on my forums.

is it possible to have help with future mods here on this site, as i got another 3 or more that id like to put on but havnt looked at them much.

What are the mods that you're trying to install meant to do?

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 9:53 am

well the one listed is meant to remove the flood limit from moderators and admins. but keep it in place for guests and registered users

Well I have very little experience at admin level with web sites so I'm afraid I can't really help you out, Hopefully one of the site admins here can help you out, either that or try contacting me on MSN and I can put you in touch with a webmaster I know who will undoubtedly be able to help.

well there was one thing you helped me with which is making links with a diff. name to the actual link. check my first post in this topic or in this topic

k there's two parts to the mod. The first part should be obvious, copy and paste the given code after the "// Flood control" lines. The second part is a bit confusing but it looks like all they want you to do is to add another } bracket. The reason being is, in the first bit of code, they start an "if" statement, like:

if ...blahblahblah... {

There's an opening bracket there, they need you to add a closing one ("}") to close it off. Where it says "Be careful there are 4 }" all it means is that originally there are three } brackets at that place in the file, and after you're done there should be 4 (since you're adding 1 more).

ie:

Code: Select all

Before&#58;
					message_die&#40;GENERAL_MESSAGE, $lang&#91;'Flood_Error'&#93;&#41;;
				&#125;
			&#125;
		&#125;

Code: Select all

After&#58;
					message_die&#40;GENERAL_MESSAGE, $lang&#91;'Flood_Error'&#93;&#41;;
				&#125;
			&#125;
		&#125;
	&#125;

HTH

Once you get used to doing these mods they get easier ... I should know lol

how do you add a link that will enable and disable background music accordingly?

I'll ask my friend Mark when he's online later, he'd probably know of something.

When we're on the subject of phpbb, anyone know how the updates will work now that i've modded the heck out of my board? I can't just throw updated files at it, and overwrite the changed ones. Took me a while to put the updating fear aside, and mod the board.

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 12:43 am

you have to reinstall all mods when you update as far as i know.

No offence, but what does it matter? No one posts at your forums anyway.

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 7:00 am

i can use it to make a catalogue of stuff and if need be link people to it.

Wed Mar 29, 2006 9:31 am

yes I'm talking, what of it? I wasn't hacking on a noob, I wasn't hacking on anyone.

And franpa no you don't have to give a reason, but don't you think it'd be easier to get help if you told people what you were doing so they knew what you wanted help with?
