<a id="action_sql"><h3>1. SQL</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ SQL ]------------------------------------------ # CREATE TABLE `phpbb_config` (   `config_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',   `config_value` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',   PRIMARY KEY  (`config_name`) ) TYPE=MyISAM;

<a id="action_copy"><h3>2. COPY</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ COPY ]------------------------------------------ # copy file to destination_directory/file ex. copy foo_body.tpl to templates/subSilver/foo_body.tpl

There probably is everything clear.

<a id="action_diy"><h3>3. DIY INSTRUCTIONS</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ DIY INSTRUCTIONS ]------------------------------------------ # content of instruction ex. set file mod.php chmod to 666

Here's all clear, this action may be used in any way modified by the author to inform the additional operations that are required.

<a id="action_open"><h3>4. OPEN</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------ # catalog/name_of_file ex. includes/constants.php

Open file by ex. Notepad++.

<a id="action_finc"><h3>5. FIND</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------ # Code 1 ex. {L_NEW_POSTS}

Find in opened file Code 1.

After FIND command can be following commands:

<a id="action_replace"><h3>6. REPLACE WITH</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------ # Code 2 ex. {L_YOUR_VARIABLE}

So change Code 1 to Code 2.
In this example change {L_NEW_POSTS} to {L_YOUR_VARIABLE}.

<a id="action_aadd"><h3>7. AFTER, ADD</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------ # Code 3 ex. {L_NEW}

So add this AFTER what you find, so after Code 1, add Code 3
In this example after {L_NEW_POSTS} add {L_NEW}.

<a id="action_badd"><h3>8. BEFORE, ADD</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------ # Code 4 ex. {L_INFO}

So add BEFORE what you find so before Code 1 add Code 4.
In this example before {L_NEW_POSTS} add {L_INFO}.

<a id="action_increment"><h3>9. INCREMENT, IN-LINE INCREMENT</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------ # Powered by <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/" target="_phpb" class="copyright">phpBB</a> &#169; 2001, {%:1} phpBB Group<br />{TRANSLATION_INFO}</span></div> # #-----[ INCREMENT ]------------------------------------- # %:1 +10

This action used to increase and decrease numbers. INCREMENT is always after the FIND or IN-LINE FIND in which number to change was replace by {%:1}. If there are more numbers, next are replacy by {%:2}, {%:3} etc.

In this example to number replaced by {%:1} should add 10.

Sometimes instead of INCREMENT you can meet with the action IN-LINE INCREMENT. Both work the same way.

<a id="action_ifind"><h3>10. IN-LINE FIND</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]------------------------------------------ # Code 5 ex. {L_ANY_THING}

If after FIND is this command, that in command FIND (<a href="#action_find">pkt. 5</a>) should find a line. In this line (Code 1) should find Code 5.

After the IN-LINE FIND is IN-LINE INCREMENT or one of this commands:

<a id="action_iaadd"><h3>11. IN-LINE AFTER, ADD</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------ # Code 6 ex. {TEXT}

So AFTER the Code 5 in this line, should add Code 6, in this example after {L_ANY_THING} add (in line) {TEXT}.

<a id="action_ibadd"><h3>12. IN-LINE BEFORE, ADD</h3></a>

Kod:

# #-----[ IN-LINE BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------ # Code 7 ex. {TEXT2}

So BEFORE the Code 5 in this line, should add Code 7, in this example after {L_ANY_THING} add (in line) {TEXT2}.

<a id="action_ireplace"><h3>13. IN-LINE REPLACE WITH</h3></a>

Kod:
