SQL PART


Normally there is an sql file for all forums database, try to get the sql tables of this mod (Maybe you can view install_portal.php or request from support)edit that sql file and that's all ;)

Have a nice day.
I have the SQL. :p

One question.
Does PHPbbhs rely on the htaccess or a file structure?

When someone registers for a forum, does it create any files? Like a folder or anything? or is it 100% htaccess and SQL based?

All forums share same set of files, so it doesn't need to copy anything. Script does create few folders though, ones where cache is stored, so every forum has its own cache.

It doesn't use .htaccess to check what forums is being accessed - that's what dedicated IP requirement is for. Any domain that points to a dedicated IP will show website hosted on that IP, script will use different database configuration depending on what $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is set to, so it will show different forums for different domains.

Could you tell me what it caches? Like the file names etc. (Or take a screenshot of a cached directory?)
I need to know how to works. Thanks!

Exactly the same stuff normal phpBB caches: some sql queries, compiled templates.

Does this have a "paid upgrades" option. You know, pay to remove ads, more features etc.

No, script doesn't have any automated system for it. You can remove ads for every forum, or set custom ads, but its not automated.

I found another script: http://www.echophp.com/
It has that all + domain management. I'll check their site out and see if they are better/worse.

Thanks!

That is incorrect. This script also has domain management, and much better one.
