Installation Of Phpbb Forum

[terry]

I had installed the phpbb forum script into my reseller account. And the forum script can be acessed in the File Manager under public_html whereby a folder inside contains the script. But what now i want is how do i create an additional icon/option in DirectAdmin control panel to link to the script.

Simple saying for example the icon/option in the DirectAdmin control panel Domain Pointers.

So how do i excatly create another icon/option like this to let it link to the phpbb forum script??

You can't do that. The only way that I can think of is creating a plugin hook with a simple link to redirect you there. And only admin's can install plugins.

can you tell me more about the plugin thingy...or maybe a demo site or a screenshot...and how do i do the plugin??

Just to make sure we're on the same page. You want it so that it looks like the screenshot I've provided? Clicking on that link simply sends the clicker to the forums?

Here is the documentation:
http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=370

Basically, create a plugin directory (name doesn't matter) in /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/
make a subdirectory call hooks inside your new plugin directory
(e.g. /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/plugin_blah/hooks)
Finally create a file inside the hooks directory named reseller_txt.html
and put something like the following in it:

<a href='http://www.your_website.com/phpBB2'>phpBB Forums</a>

However, in order to do that you'll need root access to the server.
