PHP Programming Language - Cultural View

Icy Phoenix 92
Features
• phpBB bulletin board and permission system
• CMS features allowing the creation of new pages and blocks (some of the functions are based on the abandoned
IM Portal project).
• Overall template integration among all site sections.
• Many ready to use features: Photo Gallery, Downloads, Knowledge Base, Links, Chat.
• Multilanguage and multitemplate ready.
• Almost 100% XHTML and CSS W3C compliant.
Many of these features are based on mods for phpbb though some may have been written or rewritten by Mighty
Gorgon. Others have been ported from phpbb3. [8]
Installation
Icy Phoenix has its own setup procedure which guides the user through the steps of the setup process. An upgrade
file is provided to upgrade the package from standard phpBB and phpBB XS. At the moment the only way to
upgrade from another premodded package is by downgrading it to phpBB (there is a written procedure for this) and
then run the provided upgrade procedure.
Compatibility with phpbb mods
Many phpbb 2 mods work with Icy Phoenix and most can with a little effort be made to work on Icy Phoenix. There
is a subforum of downloadable mods that have been made to work on the forum software at the official website.
Other languages
English is the main language of Icy Phoenix, but it has been translated into other languages (alphabetical order):
Catalan, Dutch, Galego, German, Italian, Serbian, Spanish. Many authors work on translations.
