IntegraMOD

As most of you are aware, phpbb3 has reached RC1. This means no major changes are planned at this time and mod developers will kick into high gear to get their mods validated and released. What this means to us, is that we can now make concrete plans for the next generation of IntegraMOD. I say generation, instead of just version, because much will change. In fact much is already changing. If you have been following the development of our new portal system on http://www.phpbbireland.com , you already know that our chief admin, and developer, Michaelo, has been hard at work since the early beta's of phpbb3, developing IntegraMOD Portal, currently called Stargate. This is a completely new system, and has nothing in common with our current IMPortal other than name. He has already created many mods for it, a few themes, and is working toward integration of many of our key mods.
upgrades from 132, 140, 141, and the soon to be released 142 are being planned even now.
here is a list of currently critical upgrade transfers

all db info will be saved and as mods become available to access the info, they will be released

This sounds even better then what I already thought it will be )

Anyhow! I'm a big fan of the hard work you guys are putting into all this and will stay by your side with any little help I can chip-in with myself!

I am currently running importal and phpbb 2.19. I am wanting to eventually to upgrade to phpbb 3.0 but need a couple mods that are not available in 3.0 yet. Mainly the Complete Banner Mod and [url=http]Plugin Poker[/url].

Is switching to Integramod 1.4.X a good intermediary step?

Also, can phpbb 2.x switches, like those used in the login and register links in the top menu bar usable in the Integramod Navigation Block?

they are not necesary in the nav block. We use qbar, so you can specify who sees what, whether logged in, member of a group, etc

That is hard to tell... because it depends on what features you really need.
Keep in mind that moving to IntegraMOD 1.41 will still be phpBB2 but it will be the most complete mod package you will find! Most stuff can simply be turned off, or you remove links to them if you don't want the feature on your site.
But at this point, there is no way of telling what MODs will become available in phpBB3. (of course, most popular MODs will always find community members to rewrite them

Sounds like a great game plan go for it guys!

hey guys, i am dropping in to say hi. sounds like you have a great version coming out with 142. thanks for all the good work you put into everything for us. <img>

any update on Stargate?

I have moved to a phpbb3 board and have not been impressed with other portals that have been coming out.

Integramod's history of making the admin side of portals very easy and intuitive has me asking...(sucking up for sure <img> )

any news ?

This post alludes to the fact that 1.42 was nearing completion. Is that still the case? Will it be an intermediate step towards "Stargate" and phpbb 3? Will 1.42be based on phpbb 3?

Will there be an easy upgrade path from IntergraMod 1.41 to StarGate or 1.42?

Inquiring minds want to know.

142 was put on hold as phpbb3 went gold. Most of the devs are working in some form on the mods required by integramod. Since most of the mods are still very beta, or do not yet exist, we are still some time from a phpbb3 release. Some of the new members, may not remember Okki. He was a dev here for quite some time and was instrumental in the release of 140. He has rejoined our staff and has offered to work with obiku on 143. Yes 143. This is because he has already released an NL version of his 142. Hopefully 143 will get everyone from integramod.com and integramod.nl on the same page.

Wow, so we will do a jump from 1.41 to 1.43 then? Just curious as to what ideas for new mods are going to be thought to be included in this. When is the predicted release date for 1.43? Or if 1.42 will be released, when is that projected date? Just curious to know which mods that arent currently included in 1.41 will be included in the next version.

well i have downlaoded the stargate portal and installed it and so far so good. only one problem i have found with it so far. you can't register on the site phpbbireland.com it just keeps bringing me back to the i agree page.

does he have registration turned off on the site right now or something?

you may be going to the old site. The current support and dev site is
http://www.phpbbireland.com/phpBB3/index.php

nope that is the site address i goto. but everytime i click register i get as far as clicking hte button that says i agree then it just refreshes the page everytime. been like that for me for a couple weeks

are you on a proxy? try deleting your browser cache and cookies for the site. If it doesnt work for you, pm me a username, password and email address you want for the site and ill register you through the acp.

I registered over there at the regular site once so I could keep track of the updates and what now and I got an email one day that said I was pruned and it gave a reason but not sure what the reason was. I registered and like 7 days later was pruned so I never bothered ever again. I may have registered on the dev site allthough I cant be sure.
