Patcher
by daris
Allows you automatically install modifications.
Detailed description:
http://fluxbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=4431
This script allows you to easily install and uninstall FluxBB modifications. It loads modification readme.txt file and executes steps saved in that file.
I tested it using several mods from official repository.
It overwrites original files, so I suggest you running it on local sever (since it needs write permission) and then upload modified files to your server.
Installation instructions
Upload directories to FluxBB root directory.
Go to Admin Panel and click on Patcher plugin.
Permission issues
The basic Linux server permission settings does not allow to modify files via PHP. There are two ways of making Patcher to do this:
Change chmod of FluxBB root directory to 0777 - but it is a security issue, I suggest to do step 2 instead
Enable FTP layer by renaming plugins/patcher/config_sample.php to config.php (in the same directory) and filling the FTP login details.
