About this tutorial
This tutorial will teach you how to base a site around one of the best free forums out there "PHPBB". We will be basing it around the newest version PHPBB3. This tutorial does not work with older PHPBB versions. Why I made this tutorial When I began to make a site based around PHPBB I realised a serious lack of information on how to do it. So I have decided to make this tutorial in a hope it helps you guys if you ever want to make a site around PHPBB. Lets Get Started! Ok lets get started on this. We need to download and install PHPBB in a directory. I would call the directory "forums". Once its installed we are ready to build the rest of the site. Next we will get down to the actual coding. Open up your PHP editing program. It does not matter the program you use it will make no difference to the outcome. We are now going to create a file named config.php. You may rename it to whatever you want. Config.php
Config.php will need to be included on all pages. Now we will create an index page. Index.php
Now it seems we need a login page. So create a file named login.php Login.php
More on the next page. Ok there are probably a few more things you want to do. A logout link? Easy as pie:
And hey presto they are logged out! What else could we do? How about show how many messages in your inbox!
And there is plenty more things you can do with the right knowledge! Just try out things. You can always remove it if it doesnt work. Any problems with this tutorial feel free to PM me here or Email [email protected] Thank you for reading My website |
