I figured it out, I didn't realize my query returned a mysql table, not a result. I couldn't reference the variable directly since it wasn't just a single integer result. I had to pass the result to sql_rowseek() first to get the integer out of the table and make it usable as a string variable. Live...

I'm trying to modify one of the installed MODs to display data from elsewhere in the database, but nothing I'm trying is working. I'm NOT an experienced PHP coder, nor do I know much about phpBB in general. I've been trying to get this working by re-using existing code that performs similar tasks. B...

Mod works great on 3.0.7pl1, thanks! One request for any future updates: any way to make the nested quotes not show up in the edit window at all? Get rid of the unwanted nested quotes right away instead of on message submission? Right now, when I quote a message that has a quote in it, both quotes s...

Today post isn't a news. ;] I wrote too, twice. Yeah, I just figured since other people had already posted without replies, the mod had lost its maintainer. Not the first time this has happened, and certainly not the last :) Life catches up to all of us. As I mentioned, most of the mod applies just...

I'm running phpBB 3.0.7-PL1. I was able to apply most of this mod without issues. The only problems were in file includes/acp/acp_groups.php (the format for $test_variables has changed a little) and includes/functions_user.php. I was able to muddle through acp_groups.php, but functions_user.php has ...

ah hah! That worked well. I added this to the php file of the login mod I'm using:
and now adding {CURRENT_USERNAME} within that mod makes the current logged-in user's username appear.

Thanks!

But those require that I supply a specific user ID. Surely there must be some simpler way of displaying the current user's name on the page. It's only for a dead-simple "Hi, {USERNAME}" thing with their avatar next to it....

I'm trying to find the variable that will give me the current logged in user's username. I assumed it would be {USERNAME}, but that returns nothing. I tried {L_USERNAME}, but that just returns the English word for Username (which is, unsurprisingly, Username}. I tried {U_USERNAME}, but I get nothing...

Thank you! I never saw that drop-down in the top-right.

I know warning removal was implemented for phpBB 3.0.6, but I can't find it anywhere! Every search I make on this forum or on the web gives me results that state "the warning removal mod is no longer necessary because warning removal was implemented in a subsequent version of phpBB", but I...

ah hah! Found it, thank you.

For the record, it's:

General Tab -> Board Configuration -> Post Settings -> scroll to the very bottom

Great MOD! Works exactly as advertised, except... I don't see the ReIMG section in the ACP. I've triple-checked my code changes (all were done manually), I've refreshed all imagesets, themes and styles for all my styles, and I've purged the cache more times than I can count. But the Posting section ...
