Nice! This will be easy to convert into an admin module for PunBB 1.2.

Re: automatic full BACKUP/RESTORE mod :)

Yes, but it requires editing of PunBB source code. When a new version of PunBB is released, you will have to update all your changes. Modules in 1.2 will be dynamically detected and accessible.

Also, I'm not too fond of the fact that you're releasing it as PunBB 1.1.8 BlogCMS Edition. That implies that it is built on PunBB 1.1.8 and there is no such version.

I understand, but I do NOT advertise this version anywhere, except for BLOG:CMS users. 1.1.8 is my internal numbering, core files are, of course, based on 1.1.4.

Why not call it PunBB BlogCMS Edition 1.1.8? The version number should reflect the number of your product, not PunBB.
