ok - just installed it and it workes perfectly
(i would suggest having a knowledge of the sql database (and phpMyAdmin helpes alot) or at least the ability to test it on another forum (like on my server i have a test forum that i try all my mods on first, with a few gunni pig's)
ok - heres a review of this mod (with my personal biases of course)
here is the end result -
ok - now to get there, is anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes of work (not to bad, however, if you are like me, and are unfamiliar with the database working, try to practice)
I am (or was) a complete newwb at all of this, but with the help of this mod, and the action guide - i was able to get in in about a half hour
(action guide can be found
here )
I would also like to say that because i was already familiar with the files that need to be edited, the time it took to actually follow the mods instructions, was amazingly short
(if you have done
this modification to your boards, this permanent mod should be a much better solution, and it will be easy to install)
Ok - anyway - back to the review
this mod takes a half hour at most, so if you have that time - why not install this. That said - how often are you planning to change the admin and mod colors? For me - i like tweaking things every now and then, but if you are someone that just want's to change it, and then leave it for the rest of your boards life - then this might not be for you.
Oh yeah - and one more note - this was tested on phpBB version 2.0.17, and it works fine, so you dont have to worry about that
overall - i think this was a great mod, and my thanks to zyrexiaix for making it
