No, not a wiki product by the phpBB Group. I am pleased to announce the addition of a wiki for syndicating code documentation and content at http://wiki.phpbb.com/.
This wiki is a place where you can share your experience with the codebase of phpBB3. Anything related to code documentation, modding/styling tutorials can be added there. Please note that we currently only allow registered users to edit/add pages.
What it is not
The wiki is not meant to be a general documentation of how to use phpBB3. It doesn't describe how to register, post new topics, etc. - this can still be found within our user documentation.
The MOD Documentation available at phpbb.com will be slowly moved to the wiki over the next weeks.
The ability to subscribe, via email, to MOD and style updates has been added to the MODs and styles database. When you subscribe to a MOD or a Style you will receive an e-mail notification when the MOD or Style is updated.
To toggle your subscription status, click the "Subscribe" or "Unsubscribe" link on the MOD or Styles overview page as appropriate.
If you find any bugs or problems with this feature, or in any other part of the MOD or Styles databases, please report them to the website bug tracker.
If you would like to make a feature request or just have feedback for the MODs and styles database, you may do so in this topic.
Like last year, we are going to have have a MOD Author's Convention in 2008. It's been a bit delayed due to Londonvasion, but now we're ready.
The MOD Author’s Convention is an opportunity for all MOD Authors to meet up and also talk to the phpBB MOD Team. The Convention will take place in the #phpbb-mod IRC channel (freenode) on the 30th of August 2008. It's your chance to ask questions, bring suggestions and discuss ideas for the future of modding!
To give everybody the chance to participate, we’ll be having time slots with different topics spread over 24 hours. You don’t have to ask your question during the specific slot, but we’ll try and keep the overall discussions within those topics. There are two 2-hour time slots for each topic, in order to accommodate participants in different timezones. You can use TimeAndDate.com to calculate your local time. Each timeslot is linked to TimeAndDate so you can determine your local time for that session.
It has now been one month since Londonvasion 2008, the first ever live phpBB conference. As promised, the entire public event was recorded for distribution to the community. We welcome you to share the experience with us by watching the recordings and participating in the Londonvasion discussion topic.
The Londonvasion registration page has been replaced by a page of links to the videos and photo albums. The entire conference has been broken up into 14 videos of varying lengths in order to make the file sizes more manageable. You can stream the videos from Vimeo, or downloaded them in your choice of format.
If you have additional photos that you wish to add to the page, please PM me.
After some time of development and internal testing we've decided to open our MODification pre validator, abbreviated to MPV, for public usage.
MPV is similar to mEAL, a tool you were able to use in the past to test MODs before submission to the MOD Database. MPV will return basic problems and make sure you use the latest release of MODX. MPV will pick out basic problems with your MOD and give you feedback on these. If you submit your MOD with basic problems that MPV highlights we will deny the MOD within the first 24 hours, as per our Insta-Deny policy. If you don't receive a deny notification your MOD will be fully validated.
To test your MOD with MPV simply visit http://www.phpbb.com/mods/mpv/ and follow the instructions. You will receive a report from it after a few seconds.
If you find any bugs or problems with MPV, please report them to our website bug tracker.
Currently supported softwares are: vBulletin 3.6.8, phpBB3, MyBB, IPB, SMF 1.1.4 and punBB.
Automatic dual login is now supported for vbulletin, myBB, IPB, magento and phpBB3!!!
