phpBB2 MOD: myVIPcode v1.1.3

#1

Post by asavage »

This post is mostly for search engines to find, in case someone else becomes as frustrated as I was with trying to find a VIP-code MOD that would actually install on phpBB v2.0.23 with EasyMOD 0.4.0 .

phpBB version 2 is dead -- that is, it's no longer officially supported, though there are a couple of websites devoted to unofficial support, for folks like us that are still running it.

I had to re-create a MOD I'd installed in 2007, and found that I hadn't documented what I'd done.

So, in re-creating, instead of just editing the forum directly like last time, I glued together two existing MODs and added a couple things of my own. This gives me the ability to apply the MOD in future without having to remember where to modify what manually.

Incidentally, EasyMOD 0.4.0 does not seem all that stable to me [shrug] but EM 0.4.0 will install this.

myVIPcode v1.1.3

Here's the included first few lines:

## Author Notes:
## This is the "myVIPcode" ("Add a VIP code during registration") mod (Martin Aignesberger)
## plus the "VIP Code add-on" (Add-on ACP management) combined together.
## Additionally, I modified the code placement for where the output goes on the
## Registration Agreement page, added a bit of font-size and color:red changes.
##
## Tested on 2.0.23 only.
