One of the most important things for modding is the format. For phpBB2 this is the text format. To start a new project, just copy-paste the following into a blank text file and start adding your edits.
Here is the template:
Code: | ##############################################################
## MOD Title: mod_title_goes_here
## MOD Author: your_phpBB_username < your_email > (your_real_name) your_url
## MOD Description: some_description_goes_here
## MOD Version: x.x.x
##
## Installation Level: (Easy/Intermediate/Advanced)
## Installation Time: x Minutes
## Files To Edit: file_1,
## file_2,
## file_3,
## etc
## Included Files: (N/A, or list of included files)
## License: http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU General Public License v2
##############################################################
## For security purposes, please check: http://www.phpbb.com/mods/
## for the latest version of this MOD. Although MODs are checked
## before being allowed in the MODs Database there is no guarantee
## that there are no security problems within the MOD. No support
## will be given for MODs not found within the MODs Database which
## can be found at http://www.phpbb.com/mods/

Hi, eviL, did you lose your love?
I am going to be copying my MOD Manager from the phpBB Doctor site over here, along with the documentation that I've done. I don't think I had copied the documentation for the text template yet though, so thanks for sharing that. _________________ phpBBDoctor Blog |

Unfortunately your board stole it from me. I thought this might be of use. Feel free to move/change/remove it as you see fit. |

So the registration process stripped out the <3 from your username? I didn't think I had code in place to do that...
[Edit] I tested it, and sure enough, it's stripped out. [/Edit] _________________ phpBBDoctor Blog |

evil, do you have any thoughts about what to do about this paragraph in the MOD template?

Obviously this will no longer be the case once the 2.x MODs area is shut down... _________________ phpBBDoctor Blog |

depends on what your policy is going to be for MODs hosted here.
If they will be validated before being allowed , then rewording the template will be simple.
If not, then maybe disclaimers would be better.

Which raises the question of who (or is it whom...always confused by that one) will be doing the validating. _________________ Rich McGirr |

Oh, I think most of us here have enough experience to validate each other. |

Indeed it's the responsibility of this site that rules here, then just change the URLs. |

Since phpBB2 is legacy (from the MOD team's perspective) I would suggest to simply remove it, since there is no official location anymore. In case other phpBB2 sites arise they can use the same, like this the template is not tied to one specific site. |
