While the basic phpBB install does the job, the majority of site will add one or more modifications (mods) to further enhance the sites functionality and appeal...
Many site make the additional mod information available to users detailing the Mod name, Mod description, Mod Author and relevant Mod Links on a separate page.
Stargate includes this feature by default but goes even further... When saving your mod details, you can add it to an existing mod category or create a new mod category. This category field allow us to group queries to produce more complete page reports for the selected mods...
A mini-mod example: (Styles Development Block)
We treat styles as mods recording the version number, name, last time updated, author and support links etc., in the mini-mod table... We have also created a simple block to display this information automatically, and of course like all blocks it can moved, hidden and scrolled...
How does your regular block differ from a mini-mod based block?
Both can retrieve retrieve information from the main portal_config_vars table, mini-mods blocks also retrieve mod specific information from the mini-mod table...
Types of mini-mods currently installed:
- Normal (your normal phpBB mods)
- Styles (all styles can be treated as mods)
- Block (dedicated mods that enhance block functionality)
- Notice (a simple demo, dispaly text on portal page)
- Welcome (display the welcome message)
