phpBB QuickInstall Redesign

Post by MattF »

Update: Now released from the Extensions Database:
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/offi ... ckinstall/

Hi folks.

This topic is for those of you who use phpBB QuickInstall.

I have been working on a redesigned GUI for the tool. You can download it here, to see it in action, and you can discuss here how it works/looks.

https://github.com/phpbb/quickinstall/a ... .0-RC2.zip

It's still being developed and is not yet an official release. But comments are welcome. The tool itself is still virtually the same as it's always been. It's just a newer, slicker, modernized look.

Here's a sampling:

Installed it, installed some boards (in fact, QI is a great tool, using it all the time) and didn't see any strange things or flaws. Working great ;)

Re-themed it based on Hanakin's Prosilver style guide.

A new Release Candidate version is posted (download link in first post).

A lot of polishing went into this. Not just some new paint, but a lot of updates to the wording/phrasing of things, and lots of little code fixes and changes, as well as some nifty new features. All info is contained in the Changelog.

Downloaded and some quick sanity testing done, so far so good. Count me in as a fan of the redesign. Well done!!
