Pre-Modded phpbb 3.0.4

[jmjm003]

Recommended for clean installs! If you overwrite your current forum files with these you will get errors if you do not have the correct DB fields.

Here's a modified version of phpbb 3.0.4!
It contains many change from a clean install of phpbb 3.0.4.
Many of the changes in my opinion should have been included in phpbb.

Here's a quick run down of some of the changes.

1. Simple Topic Description - Adds a topic description to your post.

2. Avatar True Resize - Upload a large image for your avatar and it's reduced to the size selected within the ACP.

3. ACP Add User - As it says. Should have been included by default.

4. Image resizer - lightbox - reduces large images to a selected size in the ACP.

5. Primes Quick Reply - controlled in ACP

6. Categorize Announcements Stickies - By default, these all stay in the same category. This mod changes that.

7. Primes Anti-Bot - excellent add on for keeping out auto bots. You can disable the captcha image with this installed.

8. Post Instant Redirect - no more waiting after a post.

9. Topic in "Who is online" - shows the topic being viewed in who's online.

10. Primes Links - Open external links in a new window. Internal links, same window.

11. Mark Edited Post as Unread - Editing the last post of topic shows as a new post.

12. Change Users Post Count

13. Forum Title Color. Not the category, just the forums name is able to change color. Take a look at the boards index page to see this in action..

14. Forced Login - Force users to login to see the index page or topic/forums etc. Can also be done with group permissions. This MOD makes it much easier to control guest viewing.

15. ACP Announcement Center - Adds announcements to your site. You see it near the top of the forum.

16. Ad Manager - Display Ads in 8 locations on your forum. You can add more locations with a simple edit. I've displayed a few locations on the forum here.
Note: The only issue with this after install. It adds the Advertisement Manager link twice. Once at the top and then again at the bottom. It's easily corrected in the system tab by removing one of them. Or you can leave them both. This issue does not exist if you use V1.0 and then the addon for Advertisement Manager.

17. Custom Ranks - Gives the option to allow members to have custom ranks. You can set a post requirement before the option is given. Default set at 0 - requires 1 post.

18. Cutom BBCodes - Youtube, strike, spoiler, etc.... (on full installs)

19. Primes Subject Check - Checks subjects for similar post to reduce multiple post on the same subject.

20. Enable HTML - This is disabled for all members on install. Huge security risk if permission is given to any member to use it.

21. Multi Quote - select multiple post within a topic to quote. Works with quick reply too.

22. Primes Trash Bin - keep deleted Post / Topics

23. Moderator Needed - Gives a visual alert beside moderator control panel (MCP) This is not done by default with phpbb3.

Added in V1.3

What's new?

24. Site warning - Show a warning in the upper left hand corner of your forum for displaying information.

25. TinyPic Mod - Prosilver based styles only - Adds a tinypic upload box for easy posting of images.

26. Contact admin - You must run contact.php to finish install before setting in ACP. Provide guest and members an easy way to contact you.

27. My Topics - Adds view your topics next to view your post.

28. Anti Double Post - Prevents members from posting multiple post in a row. Forces edit of prior post, or denies post until another member post behind them. Set per forum.

29. Custom BBCode Rights - Disallows the use of certain BBCodes set by admin.

30. NV advanced last topic titles - Displays the last topic title on the index page.

31. Welcome PM - Sends a welcome PM to new members. Message can be changed within the ACP.

Styles Added
Prosilver special edition. (Fixed width style that looks very similar to the one found at phpbb.com)
Darkness - A dark theme for those of you looking for something on the dark side.
fisubice2 - well known and liked style.

Made a few color changes to subsilver2. I found the default colors to be rather ugly.
Similar to fisubice now.
