Custom Title MOD for phpBB
Here you'll find all relevant information about my Custom Title MOD for phpBB. All available versions are listed here, as well as upgrades. Please note that some files here may not have been validated by the phpBB MOD team. If that's an issue for you, you can always find the latest validated version in the phpBB MOD database, but note that the latest validated version may be outdated and may not work with the most recent versions of phpBB. If validation isn't an issue for you, simply browse this page for hyperlinks to download the MOD or language packs.
But first, perhaps you're asking yourself what the Custom Title MOD is. Simply put, the MOD adds a custom title (or rank) field to a user's profile. It will allow users to set these titles based on how many days they have been registered and how many posts they have. These settings are all configurable by the administrator. The MOD was initially designed for phpBB 2.0.x, but version 2.0 Alpha 2 is currently available which is designed for phpBB 3.0.x. It is still in testing, however.

Now that 1.0.2 is validated, I've added a link to its new thread. Keep in mind that versions 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a are identical. The a revision is confined to phpBB's site, and is due to a packaging error. The error never affected any of the downloads available here.
