---- Installation.
Run ff_install.php. This will make the modifications to the database and create the new templates.

Open admin/forum.php and look for:

PHP Code:

  makeyesnocode("Count posts made in this forum towards user post counts?","countposts",1); 


After that add:

PHP Code:

  //WL 04-JUNE-2001 New Forum Features Hack
  maketableheader("Search Engine Options (v1.2 by Wayne Luke)");
  maketextareacode("Meta Tag Keywords: ","metakey");
  maketextareacode("Meta Tag Description","metadesc");
  makeinputcode("Meta Robot Tag","robotext");

  maketableheader("Forum Control Options (v1.0 by Wayne Luke)");
  makeyesnocode("Show in Active Topics?","showactive",1);
  makeyesnocode("Censor Words in this Forum","censor",1);
  makeinputcode("Minimum Posts to View","minviewposts");
  makeinputcode("Minimum Posts to Start New Thread","minposts");
  //WL End Modification 


Also in admin/forum.php Look for:

PHP Code:

  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO forum
                      (forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayorder,parentid,
                       parentlist,allowposting,cancontainthreads,daysprune,newpostemail,newthreademail,
                       moderatenew,allowhtml,allowbbcode,allowimages,allowsmilies,allowicons,
                       styleoverride,allowratings,countposts,moderateattach)
                   VALUES
                      (NULL,'$styleset','".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."','$isactive','$displayorder','$parentid',
                       '','$allowposting','$cancontainthreads','$daysprune','".addslashes($newpostemail)."','".addslashes($newthreademail)."',
                       '$moderatenew','$aallowhtmlcode','$aallowbbcode','$aallowimgcode','$aallowsmilies','$aallowicons',
                       '$styleoverride','$allowratings','$countposts','$moderateattach')"); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO forum
  (forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayorder,parentid,
   parentlist,allowposting,cancontainthreads,daysprune,newpostemail,newthreademail,
   moderatenew,allowhtml,allowbbcode,allowimages,allowsmilies,allowicons,
   styleoverride,allowratings,countposts,moderateattach,metakey,metadesc,robotext,
   showactive,censor,minviewposts,minposts)
 values (NULL,'$styleset','".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."',
         '$isactive','$displayorder','$parentid','','$allowposting','$cancontainthreads',
         '$daysprune','".addslashes($newpostemail)."','".addslashes($newthreademail)."',
         '$moderatenew','$aallowhtmlcode','$aallowbbcode','$aallowimgcode','$aallowsmilies',
         '$aallowicons','$styleoverride','$allowratings','$countposts','$moderateattach',
         '".addslashes($metakey)."','".addslashes($metadesc)."','".addslashes($robotext)."',
         '$showactive','$censor','$minviewposts','$minposts')"); 


After that add:

PHP Code:

  //WL 04-JUNE-2001 New Forum Features Hack
  maketableheader("Search Engine Options (v1.2 by Wayne Luke)");
  maketextareacode("Meta Tag Keywords: ","metakey",$forum[metakey]);
  maketextareacode("Meta Tag Description","metadesc",$forum[metadesc]);
  makeinputcode("Meta Robot Tag","robotext",$forum[robotext]);


  maketableheader("Forum Control Options (v1.0 by Wayne Luke)");
  makeyesnocode("Show in Active Topics?","showactive",1,$forum[showactive]);
  makeyesnocode("Censor Words in this Forum","censor",1,$forum[censor]);
  makeinputcode("Minimum Posts to View","minviewposts",$forum[minviewposts]);
  makeinputcode("Minimum Posts to Start New Thread","minposts",$forum[minposts]);
  //WL End Modification 


Last edit in admin/forum.php. Find:

PHP Code:

  $DB_site->query("UPDATE forum
                   SET
                     styleid='$styleset', title='".addslashes($title)."', description='".addslashes($description)."',

                     styleoverride='$styleoverride', allowratings='$allowratings', countposts='$countposts',
                     moderateattach='$moderateattach'
                   WHERE forumid='$forumid'");

                     showactive='$showactive',censor='$censor',minviewposts='$minviewposts',minposts='$minposts'
                   WHERE forumid='$forumid'"); 


In newthread.php find:

PHP Code:

  $smilieson=iif($foruminfo[allowsmilies],$ontext,$offtext); 


After it add:

PHP Code:

  //WL 04-June-2001 Forum Features Hack (v1.0 Wayne Luke)
  if (($foruminfo[minposts]>$bbuserinfo[posts]) and !(ismoderator($foruminfo[forumid],"",$bbuserinfo[userid])) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_forumnopost")."\");");
    exit;
  }
  //WL End Modifications 


In newthread.php find:

PHP Code:

    $subject=censortext($subject);
    $message=censortext($message); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

    if ($foruminfo[censor]) {
      $subject=censortext($subject);
      $message=censortext($message);
    } 


In Forumdisplay find:

PHP Code:

$smilieson=iif($foruminfo['allowsmilies'],$ontext,$offtext); 


After that add:

PHP Code:

//WL 04-June-2001 Forum Features Hack (v1.0 Wayne Luke)
$keyword=$foruminfo[metakey];
$description=$foruminfo[metadesc];
$robotext=$foruminfo[robotext];

if (($foruminfo[minviewposts]>$bbuserinfo[posts]) and !(ismoderator($foruminfo[forumid],"",$bbuserinfo[userid]))) {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_forumnoview")."\");");
  exit;
}
//WL End Modifications 


Finally add the following to your forumdisplay template:
<META NAME="keyword" content="$keyword">
<META NAME="description" content="$description">
<META name="robots" content="$robotext">
