Change Registration Agreement text

To change the Registration Agreement you will need to edit language/lang_english/lang_main.php

Find the line:

$lang['Reg_agreement'] = 'While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message.

Change Welcome PM message

To change the Welcome PM that new users receive when they first register you will need to edit language/lang_english/lang_main.php. Use the code %s to show the sitename.

Find the lines:

$lang['register_pm_subject'] = 'Welcome to %s';
$lang['register_pm'] = 'Hello!<br /><br />Welcome to %s.<br /><br />We hope you enjoy your time at this site!<br /><br />Feel free to join in and share with others or start your own discussion!<br /><br />~Enjoy!<br />%s Staff';

Adding a Custom Portal block

To add a hardcoded HTML Portal block to any side of your portal, edit the templates/subSilver/portal_body.tpl template, use the following code in green as your block template. This code should be added between any exising blocks as shown in the example.

Example:

<!-- ------------END OF ONE PACKAGED BLOCK------------- -->

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" width="{COLUMN_WIDTH}" class="forumline">
  <tr>
    <td class="catHead"><span class="cattitle">CustomBlockTitle</span></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="row1"><span class="gensmall">CustomBlockText</span></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<br />

<!-- ------------START OF ANOTHER PACKAGED BLOCK------------- -->

Increasing File Upload Limit

Most servers appear to have a 2MB upload limit set in php.ini (this has no affect on protocols like FTP) but does affect the pafiledb & attachment systems on Fully Modded phpBB.

If you don't have access to your php.ini file (shared hosting, etc) then open your .htaccess file (found in your forum root directory) and add the following code:

php_flag "upload_max_filesize" 5M

Change 5 to whatever you want, but remember, that http is not the best protocol for uploading large files so don't set it too high.
