Had a thought... I've seen this somewhere and found it pretty nice...
Ok, modding your forum invalidates your support from infopop, and to un-mod things is easy since you can just upload the old files right...
how about we have a "mod" directory for templates/scripts/etc (templates/mods) or a "mod" extension (showmembers.inc.mod for example) which will override the original files; thus the originals are untouched, and replacements are used if they are available...
So (ex1):
if the script associated with showmembers.inc.php is called, and showmembers.inc.mod exists, showmembers.inc.mod is used instead of showmembers.inc.php.
So (ex2):
if the script associated with showmembers.inc.php is called, and showmembers.inc.php exists in the mod directory, showmembers.inc.php in the mod directory is used.
This would be helpful for those who modify their forums, and don't want to worry about re-modding for an upgrade (as they can use beyondcompare or visually edit the scripts to apply the updates to their modded files)...
what do you think?
