really bad coding errors

Description and Message
I run a mutli-forum host and im needing some help.

The install folder works fine, but i have to keep it in the root for other forums to install it. Can i either get the MYSQL for the install so i can enter it in the install.sql.

Or could i get a modded install folder so only a admin can install it and that the portal.php doesnt check for the installation folder?

You may just disable / remove the check for the install directory, which can be found in portal.php:

Code: Select all

if ( is_dir( $phpbb_root_path . 'install_portal/' ) === TRUE )
{
    if ( is_file( $phpbb_root_path . 'install_portal/install.'.$phpEx ) === TRUE )
    {
        include $phpbb_root_path . 'install_portal/install.'.$phpEx;

        if ( version_compare( $current_version, $portal_config['portal_version'], '<=' ) === TRUE )
        {
            $template->assign_vars(array(
                'S_DISPLAY_GENERAL'    => true,
                'GEN_TITLE'                => $user->lang['PORTAL_ERROR'],
                'GEN_MESSAGE'            => sprintf( $user->lang['PORTAL_DELETE_DIR'], $phpbb_root_path . 'install_portal' )
            ));
        }
        else
        {
            $template->assign_vars(array(
                'S_DISPLAY_GENERAL'    => true,
                'GEN_TITLE'                => $user->lang['PORTAL_UPDATE'],
                'GEN_MESSAGE'            => sprintf( $user->lang['PORTAL_UPDATE_TEXT'], $phpbb_root_path . 'install_portal/install.'.$phpEx, $current_version )
            ));
        }

        $load_center = false;
    }
} 

Or could i get a modded install folder so only a admin can install it

The installer already checks for the user context - just admins are allowed to install the portal.

also is there a way that there could be like a php eval that could redirect to portal.php or the index.php from a option in the acp?

Although you can turn all boxes off you can not actually turn the portal off as you just get the blank portal page i would love to be able to turn the whole portal on/off so that when it is off visitors/users will be directed to the normal board index and when portal is on visitors/users are directed to the portal page. how could i achieve this?

Will be included in the next version.
