What is the Online/Offline Mod called with phpBB?

Question here
What is the online/offline mod called?
I'm talking about the one like on here, you know the forums on here says online, but when it's down because of such and such, it says offline?
Can someone give a link to it?

I don't know there is such a mod. I think you should just be able to turn your board offline and provide a short description of why you are offline. Not sure that such a mod exists; I think it's a standard feature on most forums, except for phpBB2 probably.

It's already installed in ACP?
I never saw, I'll check again...

But what about attributes?
Like when a topic is solved, and moderators can select the solved or rejected attribute.

It's CSS. 🙂

Very complicated so I will get someone else to explain. I know how but yeah.... It's not a MOD btw.

 

[Black Mist]

Css, you mean coding?

I've used it. Its not a mod like Fluffy said.

You have to edit like 2 files but not sure if I can provide you with the link.

It's not a mod and doesn't even involve any HTML/CSS.

Go to where you edit the forum description and you can use BBCodes to make the text coloured and bold etc. You do it via the ACP. ACP > Forums tab > Manage forums (down the left hand side).

Oh!!!! I thought he was talking about if a user is offline/online not a forum.

Just follow what Dan says. Isn't there something extra?

Well yeah from what I gathered s/he is on about the forum service statuses for like the packages and reviews etc. I mean that can be done by HTML/CSS in the core files but would include loads of IF statements.

To sum up
The online/offline text below the forum descriptions is achieved by what I said here: viewtopic.php?p=768716#p768716
