I've seen most of the forum (specially gaming) having Staff Page into the menu and there all the administrations are listed. I am curious to know how to build it up? Google is not giving me the answer I am in need of. Someone help please.
-
You want to add staff page in SMF forums ?
-
Yes, that is exactly what I've started the topic for.
-
Can you explain please. If you need a staff section (board) you can simply add a new board and deny permission to normal users. Or else use Simple Portal mod and create a page as per you wish.
-
There is a MOD in SMF which allows you to show all member of site team ie. mod admins in one page, he is asking about it. I have attached it for you.
-
That is what I was looking for, but the SQL Database doesn't supports this.
-
oh, Thanks Jaffery.

For some reason I can't install MySQL forum, do I have to have MySQL installed into my computer for it? ::)
-
Install WAMP.
----------------------------------
-
What is WAMP, I tried installing it but as I don't know what it actually is I can't do anything with it. Brief description please.
-
WAMP is a virtual server. You can even host your website on WAMP is connected 24 hours to internet.
First install WAMP.
Create a database known as smf.
In the mean time unzip smf package and put it in C:/wamp/www
No add privileges to smf database. It will take you to page, create user.
Follow installation details and you are done. Make sure the user password generated for smf database important. Keep it written somewhere.

Found a most easiest way, 000webhost also provides us ability to create a database and it's entirely easy. Only thing we need to fill up the information. I got it. Thanks for helping though.
-
Believe me , WAMP is way easier than using some free host online or even paid host.
-
I can't even access the PhpMyAdmin Page into it, it's freaking hard to understand. For that you need additional programs into your computer, whereas in 000webhost; you have to fill up the form for making a database, everything dynamic. :\
-
Once you install WAMP, type localhost on your browser. It will open the page phpadmin. If you have already unzipped everything in www folder you will get installation page if you click on particular folder. Play with it when you are free, that is how we learn :)
-
What are the things need to be unzipped in www for making the phpmyadmin screen to show up?
-
If you are using smf, create a folder called smf, unzip and copy paste all files in the folder. Even without that you can acess localhost and MyPHP admin by typing localhost in browser.
