AI Chatbots (and permissions confusion) on phpBB.com

Nice.. It's a very good/useful tool for any project.

I know this is a dumb question, but which dependencies will I likely need to install?

Just to make sure I don't miss something important.

[GanstaZ]

Composer will do everything automatically.. You only need to give a command:

Code: Select all

composer install

It will install all dependencies that are set in composer.json file.

Understood, thanks.

I don't mind running your fork on my site's root, but I have extensions on this site, should I worry about them potentially breaking?

[GanstaZ]

Most likely those extensions wont be compatible (php events, some classes that are using 3.4 symfony components or some specific twig files).
Fastest way to test it, would be to test those extensions on master branch.

[Dimetrodon]

I haven't tested them on master branch yet, but I have tested some of them them on the dev version of phpBB4. Pages for instance destroyed the test board.

Pages I need I will probably drop as custom php files, similar to this article. That's how I created my current homepage as it takes the file name home.php

Those custom files won't break. Such files even work just fine on phpBB4.

[GanstaZ]

phpbb4 dev is master branch.. Packed version is built from master branch.

Well, me not knowing that is a a bit embarrassing, lol. Well, I got my answer then. A large chunk will not.

I'm removing extensions that I do not need. The ones that I have left should work.

I should have done this a long time ago. Less is more.

[Dimetrodon]

Just curious, are you strongly against the dropping of custom files in a phpBB installation?

I like it because it doesn't call upon the back end as much as something like Pages. Less complex than creating custom pages within extensions and playing with the controllers.
