MODs are made as enhancement to the +standard software. The easiest MOD is like Michael wrote: "a module +with files to deploy in a well known directory". But in most cases +they consist of files to copy into various directories of the program +tree and changes to existing files of the software. There are other +MODs which can be implemented automatically - which is far worse IMHO. +This is where a modded phpBB3 could turn into a nightmare to maintain +- believe me, I've been there :( + +Of course no developper of a MOD could know what somebody has already +done to the standard files, so it's not possible do use only patches. +And it could be (and that happens quite often) that a MOD is not +compatible to your already "modificated" forum software (destroys +other modifications or whatever). + +IMHO the best way in this case here would be a mod written for our +setup, all changes well defined to make it maintainable in a proper +way. Saying this I beg to think again whether the issue justifies all +the time and work. + +-- +wobo +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="010887.html">[Mageia-dev] PHP + phpBB mod capabilities needed to fix bug 1956 - please help +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="010893.html">[Mageia-dev] PHP + phpBB mod capabilities needed to fix bug 1956 - please help +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#10890">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#10890">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#10890">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#10890">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
