First, I'd like to say that I have been hunting for a good "out of the box" website for the last few weeks. Phpbb has surpassed my expectations. Very easy to install and use. I am in the process of starting a "Classmates" type site, but without the two tier membership. Everyone will be allowed for free. At the moment, everything is just on my pc, using Wamp. I have my domain name, (Friends-Alumni.com) but just waiting for x10 to get thinks sorted out and get my space here. I signed up January 16.
Now to the request(s)
1) - I would like to have groups automatically created, or the member automatically joined to an existing group at the time they register, via the info they provide at registration. (schools, for example) Yes, I have extended the registration form, but the member still has to manually find and join groups.
2) - I would like the member's first and last name used in the groups, rather than the user name. In the event two or more members have the same name, I would like an automatic suffix attached. (John Smith2, for example)
If there was a way to add the option(s) with a radio button or something in the ACP where you add the member registration form questions, it would be great. I also suggest that it is a pre install modification, rather than a post install tweak.
I have also made the same requests on the PHPBB forum, but till now, have had no response.
I don't have many credits here yet, but I can offer a combination of credits and a link on the site, in exchange for a successful modification. Also, if successful, I recommend that you submit it to phpbb as an author.
