Interested in learning

[CJ1985]

Too bad there isn't a "starter mods" tutorial. Something that shows them how to do some simple mod, and all process of how to go about doing it and what all needs to be done and so forth. That would definitely be helpful.

I don't know, I learn better by "visually" seeing it done. I hope that makes sense? lol

Oh, it makes sense.
Actually, that's how I learned to MOD phpBB...though I don't modify the core as much anymore, I prefer to extend it.

[CJ1985]

So where is the tutorial at that you used? lol

Maybe you should make a tutorial.

Ah, no, I didn't use a tutorial. Actually, I created a test board and constantly blew it up..learned a lot the hard way, but it's stuck with me.

If you want to learn to write MODs, install a few of them for a while. Learn to recognize what the code does.
Experience, for us modders, is "this does this", "this does that", and "if you use this, this happens".

As for wanting a tutorial...learning to MOD from a tutorial tends not to work. You have to find something that you want to change, and experiment. Ask questions! Get errors! Hit your head on the desk a few times and try to find out what went wrong!


Oh, FYI: There's a required language that every programmer must know. Profanity.

Ha, lol! I like the last part you wrote... profanity... nice! :p

So yeah. I'm trying. It'll take time. lol Why does there have to be so many different languages when it comes to coding? Why can't it just stick to HTML?? Wouldn't that be simpler? lol! You would think so anyways ha ha.



Anyways... I'm trying. I have created a test board, which is the web server thingy I believe ha through XAMPP. So I know I got one thing set up so far. Ha!

I have a wish list. If anyone cares. LOL

Wish List
1. A program that teachs, shows you how to work/code with PHP.
2. Coding to become easier.
3. Hair, because I've pulled all the last strains of what I did not have left.
4. Uhm, I don't know. lol

Ha ha ha! Thanks for the wig idea, ha! That will definitely stop people from staring at me. lol

I'm trying to learn it, but it's not going to happen over night. Ha

Sometimes, too much time. lol
