A collection of phpBB extensions, ready to download and install.
| Extension | phpBB | Download | Source | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Treasure Hunt (ecyaz/treasurehunt) |
3.3.x | .zip |
treasurehunt/ |
A gamified “treasure hunt” for your board: collectable treasures spawn as members browse and post (cooldown-limited), rewarding finds with points that drive a leaderboard and earn badges — point milestones and collection feats — shown on the member profile and in the postbit. Admins manage the item and badge catalogs, choose the spawn style (pop-up modal, hidden icon, or hybrid), and control drop rate, cooldown, forum scope and who can play; the whole find→collect→award loop is server-authoritative (anti-cheat). Installs to ext/ecyaz/treasurehunt/. |
Profile Switcher (ecyaz/profileSwitcher) |
3.3.x | .zip |
profileswitcher/ |
Let each user choose which side the post-profile column appears on in topics, with an admin-selectable online-ribbon style. Installs to ext/ecyaz/profileSwitcher/. |
PM Email Default (ecyaz/pmemaildefault) |
3.3.x | .zip |
pmemaildefault/ |
Turns on email notifications for incoming private messages by default, for new and existing users. Installs to ext/ecyaz/pmemaildefault/. |
Force Post Preview (ecyaz/forcepostpreview) |
3.3.x | .zip |
forcepostpreview/ |
Keeps the Submit button greyed-out on the posting screen — and in the quick-reply box — until the user previews their post. Installs to ext/ecyaz/forcepostpreview/. |
Post Length Reminder (ecyaz/postlengthreminder) |
3.3.x | .zip |
postlengthreminder/ |
Warns the user with a board-styled popup before submitting a post shorter than a configurable length; threshold and message are editable in the ACP. Installs to ext/ecyaz/postlengthreminder/. |
phpbbAPIhook (ecyaz/phpbbapihook) |
3.3.x | .zip |
phpbbapihook/ |
Secure, permission-controlled REST API for external apps. Create topics and replies, read forums, topics and posts, and search — every action runs with the linked phpBB account's permissions (forum allow-lists, f_read/f_search, content visibility, password-protected forums, rate limits, expiry, IP limits, audit log). API keys are managed in the ACP and bound to a phpBB account. Installs to ext/ecyaz/phpbbapihook/. |
Topic Viewers (ecyaz/topicviewers) |
3.3.x | .zip |
topicviewers/ |
Shows how many registered users and guests are currently viewing a topic, next to the "Who is online" list at the bottom of the topic. Admins can enable/disable it and choose between counts only or counts with linked member names; members who hide their online status are never listed or counted. Installs to ext/ecyaz/topicviewers/. |
Events Calendar (ecyaz/eventscalendar) |
3.3.x | .zip |
eventscalendar/ |
Full-featured events calendar with month/year/day views, recurring events, per-occurrence RSVP, member birthdays, and ACP-managed special dates; pushes events one-way to a Google Calendar via a service account and serves a subscribable iCalendar (ICS) feed. Installs to ext/ecyaz/eventscalendar/. |
Live Updates (ecyaz/liveupdates) |
3.3.x | .zip |
liveupdates/ |
Near-real-time board via a single adaptive AJAX poller: new posts appear in open topics (auto-append at the bottom, or a "new replies" banner), and the notifications counter, private-message counter, board index (new topics), who's-online count, and board statistics all update without a page refresh. Every surface is ACP-toggleable, the polling speed is admin-configurable, and it's pure progressive enhancement (nothing changes if JavaScript is off). Installs to ext/ecyaz/liveupdates/. |
Digests (phpbbservices/digests) |
3.3.x | .zip |
digests/ |
Sends daily, weekly or monthly digests of posts or bookmarked topics to subscribers via email. Community-patched build (3.3.17.1) of Mark D. Hamill's extension, fixed for phpBB 3.3.17 on PHP 8.1–8.3 — see the folder's README / CHANGELOG. Installs to ext/phpbbservices/digests/. |
For each extension you can either download the ready-to-install .zip directly,
