Hi, I am interested in running phpbb because its free, clean and responsive from what I see. I was just hoping an experienced user could let me know if this stuff is possible and/or easy before I put in the effort of installing everything.
[*]-Can you add text under the H2-forum title for each forum? Example for this forum would be text under "phpBB discussion" on the main page for this forum (
viewforum.php?f=64). The reason is because this would give a brief description of the forum you are currently on to the user, while also having that text appear as a description for that page in google.
yes, with one edit to the viewforum_body.html file of the style(s) you can then add the descriptions to each forum in the admin panel.
[*]-Is there an easy way to change the permalink structure, at the very least for each forum? So we'd have
phpbb-discussion rather than /viewforum.php?f=64.
there is no need to do this as it does not help in SEO in any measureable way ( according to google ) and humans don't care, they just click on a link.
[*]-Is it easy to have a layout with a global right sidebar, for ads or whatever else you want to put in there?
can be done with an extension install.
[*]-Is it easy to change the icons used for each forum in the board index? Aka custom icons for each forum.
can be done in the admin panel under forum edits.
[*]-When I say "easy" I should mention that I have no coding skills at all (no php, etc). I only know minimal html and CSS and work with wordpress and get by with that alone.
none of that requires even any html/css knowledge, much less any coding.
