phpBB subforums?

Just wondering, is there anyway that I can create sub forums within forums in phpBB? I have heard that this is possible. Any Ideas?
Thanks.

There is a mod for it at phpBB dotcom, but it has to be ported for Nuke. It's a -huge- mod, one of the biggest you'll run into. It's a bit easier to port since FB changed things like user_id and username, but nonetheless, there's still quite a few issues in it that you'll have to modify. I modded it for 6.5 back about a year and half ago, but since then the author of the mod has made significant changes to it, so my modded files are no longer valid. Sorry I can't be of much further help... it's big chore so I can't spend the time for free to port it again. Download the mod and have a look... maybe you can nail it.

To be honest, I have no knowledge of PHP. I just know how to find and edit lines Razz

.
However, I have come across something... It's an integration of standalone phpBB into phpnuke. I don't know much about it, but here is the site:
http://phpnuke.nukedgallery.net.

Im not good at PHP, so I wouldn't really know what it is about entirely. Doesn't seem to be any mention of intergration into phpnuke 7.6 Confused

. There seems to be a lot of editing to do, but If it is adaptable, im guessing the subforum mod can be applied to the standalone phpbb, which hopefully is easier Confused

. Again, im not that experienced, just wanna know what you guys think. Is it really worth it?
Thanks.

Adding the sub-forum mod to phpBB is equally hard on the standalone version and on Nuke so it would make more sense adding it to the ported one.

Gallery is a picture/album thingamajigger (how's that for techno-speak? hehe), and nukedgallery is the support site for integrating Gallery into Nuke as a module (which I've done before, and so I'm aware of this site). Was there something on this site mentioning subforums somewhere? Cuz if so, I didn't catch it! You did want want subforums, right...? heh

Err... that links to a version that was uploaded Jan of 2003!

The newest version (with 2.0.11 support) is here:

But again, do NOT install this on a Nuke site! It has to be ported....

You would have to port it yourself or pay someone to do it for you.
Personally I don't think it is worth the effort. I have seen some sites use sub forums on the stand alone phpBB forum and find the layout confusing and generally a pain to navigate.
