i have a host with acces to the cpanel, now i want to install the phpbb2 board and to it add the attatchment mod, i have no idea onhow to do that, can you please reaply to me saying if you can help me with it...im always conected in msn messenger -> jorgeswaby@msn.com

click on:

Bulletin Board

to do the mod, read its instructions

i think i know what you need to do. i added you to my msn, you were not on at the time. i am tish7701@hotmail.com

if you have cPANEL
search for FANTASTICO
or Scripts Library
or if you dont have
upload the script
and install it !

For the attachment mod, link provided below:
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=74505

Latest version of phpbb is 2.0.11

I've had this problem before. Some hosting providers give you phpBB preinstalled, but then you don't have access to the files where the script is installed. I asked about this at phpBB.com, and they told me to dump that installation, dl phpBB myself, and install it myself. Then you will have access to all the directories. This is the way you can edit the files that make the mod work. Also, there is a tutorial that shows you how to make the attachment mod easymod compliant so that it is a breeze to install. I've not yet done it, but it's on my to do list.

If you used FANTASTICO to install phpbb it would install it in your account just the same as a normal upload of phpbb (you can edit the files etc)

my host didn't use fantastic, it is possible that his didn't either. I was on ipowerweb with vdeck as my cp.

Hi, we offer Cpanel control which includes fantastico.
PHPBB can be installed with full access to all the files.

I've done some serious hacking of PHPBB in my time ( http://www.bonsaihelp.co.uk/forum/ )

If you want to change your host and ask me nicely I'll help you with the attachment mod.

Good luck!
