Manually adding code!

[steve]

If I was manually edit any phpbb 3.1.x files will they be lost when phpbb releases an update?

If you manually edit them, you'll then have to use the automatic updater files to go between releases. That will mean you'll have to manually merge files that where changed. Instead you should really be doing things using Extensions.

Thanks boner ,at least phpbb still support merging files.
Not been around much for a while so thought I would ask here

Further, the extension will never get approved if you manually add edits to the files.

[steve]

It's for my forum rich ,I'm up to date with extensions just no so clued up on how phpbb handles updates.

[bonelifer]

I personally wouldn't suggest using the auto-update/merge approach. Do things right and you'll have no troubles. This is the whole reason Extensions were added to 3.1. Why go backwards in time.

[steve]

Because some tweaks are not worthy of writing up extension files!!

[bonelifer]

That line of reasoning just doesn't add up.

This forum seems pointless then: viewforum.php?f=129
