CMS for phpBB
Welcome to the official home of the CMS for phpBB
About
For a long time phpBB has been the bulletin board of choice for many webmasters and web hosts because it is free, feature rich, and highly customisable. One of the main problems is that once implemented it often sits outside of the site it is supposed to be a part of. While for some websites this is the intention, most of the time it is not and the sense of community is lost on the site despite being present in the forum.
My CMS for phpBB attempts to address this issue by allowing pages on the website it’s self to be styled using the forum style system, and not only that, but maintained by the community it’s self. Admin can of course retain full and exclusive control of all site pages if they wish, but it provides the option to make the whole site a part of the community it contains.
Feature List
- Add/edit/delete sections and sub-sections of pages
- Apply user/group permissions to read/write from/to sections and sub-sections
- Provides a HTML or WYSIWYG editor to create and change the content of pages
- Images can be uploaded and used in pages. Admin can delete uploaded images from the ACP.
- Allows the ordering of pages in a sections navigation bar, the top-most page being the homepage for that section
- Administrators can move pages between sections in the ACP
- Sections can be ordered so that they appear in the desired order on the main navigation bar. Sub sections can be ordered so they appear as desired on the navigation bar for the sections they sit inside.
- Pages added/edited by admin go online immediately, pages added/edited by users who have permissions go to a validation screen viewable by admin to either be allowed onto the site or rejected.
- A site-wide notice can be added to the site from the ACP that displays on every page of the site/forum

Development
This modification is still in development, but every release on this page DOES function according to the feature list. The modification is still in development because the feature list is still not complete and rather than making a full release and then getting asked for more fetaures, I am completing it the first time around as fully as possible.
