Phpbb Help

[erocks08]

I want to learn how to add Phpbb mods and how to install it,

Is there any guides? and how long does it take to learn to add mods etc?
Thank you for your help.

When you download a mod, inside the zip file there is instructions install.xml. Open it in your browser and follow what it says.

Set up a test phpBB forum and then try adding it on that. That way it won't mess up your main forum if you mess up. MAke sure you back up the files and database first.

The time it takes to learn is not long. It is basically uploading files and doing some copy and pasting. It is more a confidence thing. If you think you can't do it then you probably will mess up.

So where should I start? Where will I get FTP? I have hosting for the forum I own should I use that Cp?
Thanks, Adding Rep for the help
What would be the best mod to start with?

This is an easy mod - http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 9&t=584852 It is just one edit to one file.

I use FireFTP (you need to use Firefox to use that). Alot of people use Filezilla.
