Change the imageboard format to a forum format

I'm looking at using a piratebox as a forum/message board for a small convention. The imageboard is nice, but it would be easier for attendees to see announcements and messages on a more traditional threaded forum.

I've notice that there are mode_image and a mode_message folders in the kareha zip. I've tried messing with moving the mode_message material out into the board folder, but only succeeded in messing things up and starting over.

Is there a moderately easy way to change from imageboard to messageboard formats? Or even install both?

good question.
Maybe the python forum can help.

run the following commands to exchange the imageboard:

/opt/piratebox/bin/install_piratebox.sh /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf pyForum

After that pointing the browser to

Language: PHP
http://piratebox.lan/cgi-bin/forest.py

should open up the forum.

Then you have to adjust the board link in the header line and in every HEADER.txt in the share folder (there is a script, which can be used for distribution of the file easily)

Is there a step that needs to happen before running the two commands listed here? I have run them, and pointing my browser at the link you provided just redirects me to the landing page. Is there some other way to verify that the python forums have been installed?
