Install_mod.php
Is there a new template for "install_mod.php" in 1.4, or do we use the old one (1.2.x) ?

Re: Install_mod.php
The old one should still work. I use one for my Gravatar mod and it works.

Re: Install_mod.php
It does indeed.
Some minor changes : the charset (utf-8) and obviously the $punbb_versions array.

Re: Install_mod.php
Yes, you'll have to modify some minor things. I think we should also include an up-to-date template on the wiki.

You bet !! 
Especially with the (future) new handling of the mods (repository AND validation).
The first step in validating mods is to have a common "install_mod" template.
With the 'template' i've started from (not official one, just one taken from an actual mod), i found A LOT of minor errors :
- typos (like a mismatch letter, or some spaces missing or surplus, etc...).
- not validating xhtml (not a serious issue obviously, but...).
For the 'wiki' thing, please note that this template HAS TO be translated to each language (we can't use langage files for this), so a subdivision for each language should be provided.
PS : if it can help, i can provide the 2 "install_mod" (english and french) i've done yesterday. Let's me know.

Re: Install_mod.php
'Minor changes', as i said previously, is not appropriate...
As we now have some new functions in dblayer, "install_mod" should use them (create_table, add_field, drop_table...).
So, when 'adapting' old mod for 1.4, the changes in install_mod would be 'MAJOR' ones....
PS : and notice "changeset 1437" which change the way new functions acts...
