No phpbb2 mod works on phpbb3. And I have no plans to make a phpbb3 version of this mod. However, phpbb3 does have a built in fucntion that allows the moderator to copy a topic into another forum. That's not exactly the same thing but it's useful.JonBeluga wrote:yes ... can someone see if this works on phpbb3 !!!
If you know your way around php it shouldn't be too hard.JonBeluga wrote:hey i appreciate the quick reply. i have never created a phpbb mod but am pretty good w/HTML, PHP and queries. let's just say i'm a novice ... how long would you think it'll take to re-create what you did but for version 3? i ask only b/c i think it's a great mod and is of value.
thanks again!

The way I did the phpbb2 version was to trick posting.php by treating a clone as an edit (so that the regular posting.php code pulls up the old post and puts it into an edit box) and then just before the part of posting.php where the post gets submitted I switch the mode to new post so that posting.php submits it for me. There are some complications in dealing with existing polls, surveys and attachments though.
If you don't know anything about how phpbb3 is coded, you'll spin wheels a bit figuring that out but a lot is easy to follow just by looking at it.
I'm guessing it would take maybe 20 hours for a novice?
Jon, did you get anywhere with this? Just curious...JonBeluga wrote:haha, i will give it 5 hours and no more. thanks again.asinshesq wrote:If you know your way around php it shouldn't be too hard.JonBeluga wrote:hey i appreciate the quick reply. i have never created a phpbb mod but am pretty good w/HTML, PHP and queries. let's just say i'm a novice ... how long would you think it'll take to re-create what you did but for version 3? i ask only b/c i think it's a great mod and is of value.
