Knowing how important it is in this community to post in the correct forum, I set about finding the right one for customizing a bit of the code.
On the main support page the readme at the top takes you to another page which says to use the mod writers area. Go to that page and it demonstrates this. Trying to find the mod writers area was futile so I googled it and found that it was discontinued. So I began to search inside the 3.3.x forum and their readme speaks of a custom coding area. Yes, that is where I think the post should go.
- index.php (see "Announcements Read me first before posting anywhere!")
- viewtopic.php?f=14&t=358419 (from above, see "If you wish to add a particular function to your board, try asking in MOD Requests, after having read this. If you're seeking help in writing code to change the way your board works, please post in MOD Writers Discussion."
- Can't find this Mod / Mod Writers section ANYWHERE on the site, so I googled it and found:
https://www.phpbb.com/mods/ (it says the mod section was discontinued)
Finally, as I said, I started searching in the 3.3.x and
their readme page pointed me to the correct place.
So, maybe the admins can update the main support page's suggestions on where to post.
THANK YOU on behalf of all the people who are trying to follow the directions (and finding a labyrinth with a dead end).
