Phpbb versions help please

spikey · 06-17-2004, 12:45 AM

Hi people. I was looking at this version of phpbb 2.08

Are the quick reply and file attachements options standard with it, or are they your own mods?

I use vers. 2.04 on my site... it's not as good...

And do the attachements save to your own server???

You have to add those yourself.

You can get the mods from either www.phpbb.com or www.phpbbhacks.com - both have good mods for 2.0.4 and up... though I would recommend upgrading to 2.0.8a... there are security holes in 2.0.4...

ditto .. install 2.0.8 and use the quick reply mod for this version ..

2.0.8a is the most recent release as far as I know.

2.0.8a is just a bug fix and security release so it has no new features that 2.0.4 has. It does have the session ID check removed that they introduced in 2.0.4.

As has been said you can visit http://www.phpbbhacks.com to get the mods and you have to install them after upgrading to the new version.

Cheers John dude... I like smug...

Bassman: When I upgrade will it have any effect??? could i just not replace the modified files? eg: Switch my old postmsg.php for the new one??

Do i risk losing all??? d'oh....

Thanks to you other peeps too...

John Sir... is there any chance you could just forward me the files you have already altered?????

If you went through step by step it would take an age and i am short on time dude...

I tried and i get error messages... below postings where the quick message box should go... not good with php... d'oh...

Are you sure you acutaly uploaded the quick reply files?

If your old forum was unmodified then yes all you would have to do is upload the changed files and run the install/upload_to_208.php script.
