Thank you for downloading cBB Blockgets. This README will guide through the basics of installation and operation of the mod. Please ensure you read this and the accompanying documentation fully before proceeding with the installation.
Installation instructions can be found in the install document contained in this distribution. We highly recommend you backup any existing data before proceeding!
To install cBB Blockgets from scratch, you must follow the steps listed in the install.xml file.
You can change the name and folder of the "home.php" file to run into another directory.
To achieve this you only need to perform some simple steps:
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';
./
with the forum path, relative to the file//$blockgets->set_home('Home filename (home.php)', 'Directory relative to the forum path (./)');
For example, if the forum is in http://mydomain.com/forum/ and you want put the file "portal.php" in http://mydomain.com/index.php (http://mydomain.com/), the result is:
File to move (home.php)
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './forum/';
File "includes/hooks/hook_blockgets.php"
$blockgets->set_home('index.php', '../');
For default, cBB Blockgets loads all the custom pages using "home.php" file but, you can create a separate file for each custom page.
To achieve this, you only need a few easy steps:
//$blockgets->set_page('put here alias or id of the page');
'put here alias or id of the page'
by numerical ID or alias (if defined) of the page you want to display. For example, to display a page whose alias is "page_1" the result is:
$blockgets->set_page('page_1');
To uninstall cBB Blockgets you only have to run the installer from Uninstall tab.
Once finished, you can choose to delete all the code files of the mod in the forum (following the installation steps on the contrary),
although not necessary, since the portal, once removed, does not interfere with the forum.
Once installed, cBB Blockgets is managed and configured easily from the Administration Control Panel.
