</I>>>>>><i> Hi everyone,
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> Can someone please help to fix bug 1956?
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> You don't need to be a regular forum visitor.
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> We need someone to find and implement a probably existing MOD, needed
</I>>>>>><i> to keep forum posts history when unlimited edit time is enabled
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> From wobo's comment #32:
</I>>>>>><i> Capabilities needed:
</I>>>>>><i> Well, one could say that anybody who
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> - knows how to run phpBB as admin and
</I>>>>>><i> - has seen a line of php
</I>>>>>><i> - knows how to edit code (respecting tags and such)
</I>>>>>><i> - knows how to cut&paste
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> should be able to install an existing MOD (if I'm not mistaken there is
</I>>>>>><i> one or more).
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> I know next to nothing about php coding. But I've been running a phpBB
</I>>>>>><i> forum for a couple of years and successfully implemented some MODs in
</I>>>>>><i> phpBB2 and phpBB3. With no help (except the phpBB-forum in case of
</I>>>>>><i> problems).
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> In practice you have a detailed installation README for each MOD. Like
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> - open file /foo/bar/doo.php
</I>>>>>><i> - Find the line which starts with '......'
</I>>>>>><i> - After that add
</I>>>>>><i> - "........."
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> And more such step-by-step guidance
</I>>>>><i> My eyes start to bleed dues to such "guidances".
</I>>>><i> i'm sure misc means to say that we should have all our changes in
</I>>>><i> packages/puppet config so that we can update without issues. and with file
</I>>>><i> edits, that's a whole different thing.
</I>>><i> I was more thinking of proper patchs or better, proper modules, with
</I>>><i> files to deploy in a well know directory .
</I>><i> I only gave a part of an example. MODs are made as enhancement to the
</I>><i> standard software. The easiest MOD is like Michael wrote: "a module
</I>><i> with files to deploy in a well known directory". But in most cases
</I>><i> they consist of files to copy into various directories of the program
</I>><i> tree and changes to existing files of the software. There are other
</I>><i> MODs which can be implemented automatically - which is far worse IMHO.
</I>><i> This is where a modded phpBB3 could turn into a nightmare to maintain
</I>><i> - believe me, I've been there :(
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Of course no developper of a MOD could know what somebody has already
</I>><i> done to the standard files, so it's not possible do use only patches.
</I>><i> And it could be (and that happens quite often) that a MOD is not
</I>><i> compatible to your already "modificated" forum software (destroys
</I>><i> other modifications or whatever).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> IMHO the best way in this case here would be a mod written for our
</I>><i> setup, all changes well defined to make it maintainable in a proper
</I>><i> way. Saying this I beg to think again whether the issue justifies all
</I>><i> the time and work.
</I>><i>
</I>It would make me very, very happy, does that count a little? If I were
sure that I'd be able to learn how to do it, I would now consider to
halve the time I use for the Bug Squad and Doc Team and start learning.
