Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'd just like to know.

How do I install modifications? Like I found this one that will add reputation to the post profile for users. And one that enables members to choose their mood and another to install a shoutbox.


Can someone tell me how I go about getting these things installed?

Thanks in advance for any help!

You cannot install MODs.   SMF for Free installs the mods for the service that he wants us to have available to us.

I can give you some ideas for how to do the things that you mentioned however.

Shoutboxs:

You can put a Shout/chat box in your Header, your Footer, Portal Block or a Board Description area

To do it in your Header or Footer go to:  Admin > Manage Styles > Edit Header/Footer

To do it in a board description create a board for the shoutbox,  paste the shoutbox code in the boards description area.     Its nice to do it this way as you can limit who can see it by the boards permissions

If you are using the Portal System and want it on your portal, make an html block and put the code in there.

You will need to sign up for a shoutbox/chatbox someplace and get the code:

     Here is a list of chat/shout boxes:
     
     www.cbox.ws
     www.yellbox.com
     www.myshoutbox.com
     www.shoutmix.com
     www.shoutbox.us
     www.tag-board.com
     www.tagboards.tk
     www.tagboardsite.com/
     www.xat.com/

Reputation    

Use the Karma system..  you can rename it to rep.
Its under Admin > Features and Options


Moods

Check this Guide.. it has an example of how to use Custom Profile Fields and do moods:
