Description
:arrow: Introduction
This extension is a continuation of the effort started by the phpbb-discord-notifications extension by rootslinux, which had it last commit early 2019. Beside some bug fixes and improvements, for example better multibyte (UTF-8) support, I also added the feature to have different notification channels per board.

:arrow: How to use
You need a Discord server and the right to manage Webhooks on this server. Hover over the channel were the notifications should be posted and click the gear-icon. Click on "Integrations" and then "Webhooks". Click on "New Webhook", chose a name which should be displayed on each notification and click on "Copy Webhook URL". This URL should start with "https://discord.com/api/webhooks...".

Open the ACP of your phpBB installation, and go to "Extensions" and "Discord Notifications Settings". Fill the two inputs of the "Create new entry" fieldset and click on Submit to save. Now go back, select the entry you just created under "Test Settings" and click on "Send Test Message". You should see a message in the channel you created the webhook for.

You can now configure the notifications to your preference. You can also have different notification channels for each board by adding more Webhook URLs.

:arrow: Help! The messages in Discord are empty!
This is likely a Discord client configuration issue. Please see the second screenshot and check if your client is configured to actually show embeds.

:arrow: Last but not least...
German and English translations are up-to-date. The French translation is missing translations for items that were added since the original version was released.

And again big thanks to rootslinux for starting this project!
