Boardmod

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BoardMod is a free software project licensed under the GNU GPL for use with YaBB and YaBB SE forums. It allows for the automated modification of the source code of their forum to change, add, or remove various features.

Many people develop custom modification packages, called simply mods, and distribute them for others to use with this program. The basic syntax of a BoardMod file is as follows:

<edit file>
Filename
</edit file>

<search for>
Some amount of source code...
</search for>

<replace>
The source code to use instead.
</replace>

In addition to the <replace> element, you can also use <add before> and <add after>. It should also be noted that this is not an XML format; the contents of these elements need not be special treated in any way, and the only restriction is that the closing tag may not appear anywhere inside the snippet.

Anything outside the elements is treated as a comment.

The current version is BoardMod 2.5.5 [1]. It is available for Microsoft Windows and Linux in executable form, and as Delphi source code.
