[Mageia-dev] PHP + phpBB mod capabilities needed to fix bug 1956 - please help

Hi everyone,
+
+Can someone please help to fix bug 1956?
+
+You don't need to be a regular forum visitor.
+
+We need someone to find and implement a probably existing MOD,  needed 
+to keep forum posts history when unlimited edit time is enabled
+
+ From wobo's comment #32:
+
+Capabilities needed:
+Well, one could say that anybody who
+  - knows how to run phpBB as admin and
+  - has seen a line of php
+  - knows how to edit code (respecting tags and such)
+  - knows how to cut&paste
+should be able to install an existing MOD (if I'm not mistaken there is one or
+more).
+
+I know next to nothing about php coding. But I've been running a phpBB forum
+for a couple of years and successfully implemented some MODs in phpBB2 and
+phpBB3. With no help (except the phpBB-forum in case of problems).
+
+In practice you have a detailed installation README for each MOD. Like
+  - open file /foo/bar/doo.php
+  - Find the line which starts with '......'
+  - After that add
+  - "........."
+And more such step-by-step guidance
+
+It's easy most times but getting tricky the more the installed phpBB3 differs
+from the standard software.
+
+Implementing a MOD which does not already exist (aka writing a MOD) is a whole
+different story, of course. So the first step should be searching an existing
+MOD with the wanted functionality.
+
+Regards and happy new year :)
