Hi,
I am an Administrator of http://www.freeboards.uni.cc At the present time we have just myself and one other admin. We are receiving many more applications per day than i had expected and setting them up is becoming a time consuming task. Each application that gets submitted gets e-mailed to us and then we have to take that info and make a folder with username requested, upload the phpBB forum files for that user, run the phpBB installation and then send a welcome e-mail. While at the same time trying to keep an up-to-date user database and answer all support requests in a timely fashion. This task is becoming very time consuming, tedious, and repetetive!
I need a php script that will automate this for me.
Here is a more complete list of exactly what im trying to accomplish:
After I receive an application I currently go through the following steps:
1. Create a folder in the main directory and name it the username requested
2. Upload all of the nessecary phpBB files from my computer into that folder via ftp.
3. Visit the location of the files/folder that i just uploaded: http://freeboards.uni.cc/USERNAME
4. Put in all the information into the phpBB Install Script that is there.
5. As requested by the install script download the config.php file.
6. Upload the config.php file to the users directory via ftp.
7. Delete the install and contrib folders in the users directory.
8. Add their info to a Admin viewable only forum that I am using as the member database. (this can change)
9. Send them a welcome e-mail.
I would like it so each time an application is submitted the script makes the forum and e-mails the person a welcome e-mail.
In exchange I would be glad to place your button/banner/text link on our main or signup page, on any script that you make, and/or in our welcome e-mail sent to all users. I am open to other suggestions and am sure we can work something out.
Additionally I will of course pay you via paypal.
If you're interested please reply here, PM, or e-mail me with what you would charge.
Thanks!
