Can I install Mods?

Question

Is it possible to install mods on Multi-Forums for IPB or phpBB?

Answer

Most mods should work with the system as long as they respect the MySQL database format, and not use a standalone file for example (as each forum would use that file).

You would need to add the tables from the mod into existing forums as well as the new forum sql file.

If it’s a mod that doesn't use a standalone config file or the MySQL database e.g. something like a Rich Text editor, then it should work without any problems.

Note that installing a mod on your forums will affect all forums that are hosted on your system.

I have been wondering about this, too. Does that mean that if each mod had a database structure, e.g. 'phpbb_newfield', that I would be able to install it in the main database if it had the same prefix, or would it have to be install in every forum database that was created? I know each template would have to be updated for whatever mod I installed, but I'm just not sure how to go about adding the database info.
