MODs Manager AKA Blinky AKA EasyMOD for phpBB3

February 6th, 2008, 12:37 pm

Part of phpBB switching over to SVN for version control a code forge was created. Recently we moved MODs Manager (code name blinky) to this public repository so people can follow progress of it.

Blinky is an automatic modification installer for phpBB3. Some of you may be familiar with EasyMOD which is an automatic modification installer for phpBB2. Blinky aims to be better than EasyMOD and work on phpBB3. We plan on adding a number of new features including an uninstaller and being able to browse external databases from within Blinky.

I’ll provide more updates as they happen but in the mean time, subscribe to the commits mailing list.

phpBB Anniversary

I just remembered today that my anniversary of being invited to the phpBB Modifications team is on the 20th of September. I was invited in 2003 so this will be the start of my fifth year on the team.

It has gone by very fast and I have learned a lot. I’m glad and excited to still be a part of phpBB. I love it!
