Script: AutoMOD

What the default phpBB forum installation lacks is a mod (plugin, extension) manager that works out of the box. To fill this glaring whole in their forum software, the phpBB Team is offering AutoMOD, a small extension that provides a GUI for installing, activating and managing phpBB mods.

To install, download and uninstall the AutoMOD files. Then copy them in your phpBB3 root folder, overwriting the older files. To finish the AutoMOD installation, navigate to "http://forumURL.com/install” and follow the final steps.

After finishing these last steps, navigate to the phpBB forum admin panel where you'll notice a new tab at the right side of the admin menu, named  “AUTOMOD.”

There you'll find the interface shown in the picture above, which will help you manage forum mods with a lot more ease.

Of course, the mod is available in the phpBB mod repository as well.
