You dont have to use ModX or make your mod AutoMod compatible. A simple textfile is fine
But if you post Mods here You also have to give support

Ok, I realize this is probably an irretrievably noobish question, but here goes. The first file to copy Copy: root/adm/style/acp_topstats.html
To: adm/style/acp_topstats.html
Obviously this doesn't already exist in the adm/style dir. I'm trying to drag and drop it from local to remote thru filezilla, then upload through cpanel utility, and it's not letting me. I tried to copy the file but it doesn't give me a paste option in the file manager... I don't know why... any input? It's displaying on my PC as a "firefox document", I don't know why, or if that's relevant, but I thought I'd include that detail in case it mattered. Any advice? Thanks in advance

in filezilla do you need to start the transfer queue? should be on the tabs on the bottom, queued files or something.
local, where the files is/ remote where you want it go then drag and drop or right click/upload /add to queue /process queue? refresh the remote directory?
firefox document probably means firefox is the default handler for the document type. if you cannot copy to that remote directory and have tried all logical and reasonable methods correctly then you probably have a permissions issue, and the best thing for that would be used the tools provided by cpanel, if any, or open a ticket with your provider.

AWESOME! Thanks a ton. Sorry to be an advice groupie, but do you know where this anomalous root/images/*.*
file is? I'm not finding it in the install files, nor am I finding the root/script/*.*
file... I'm sorry I'm such a web development noob and I really appreciate you guys' patience...
Also, I'm installing these into custom styles. So with the Copy: root/styles/prosilver/template/*.*
To: styles/prosilver/template/*.* item would I just rename that file to the name of my style, and place it in the analogous dir within that style? What would you suggest?

ok, on your webserver your ROOT can be two things and the same thing. your main root directory which is usually whatever is inside your public_html folder. it is you top level folder.
then you have your forum root. this is where the forum looks for certain files based on the way it is coded. your forum root is the main folder where your forum is located. if your forum is in your webservers root then they are the same thing.
when automod copies folders from a mod it copies likes this
to
now when you go to your forum root there is a new folder called scripts with a file in it called somefile.html
if you are doing things manually you might have to create the folder yourself. if the folder exists then you just merge the contents.
it it did this
you would go to you
when you see this *.* is means copy it is copying all the files in that folder. NOT FOLDERS, files. that is all it means, if the folder only contains files, but more than one, instead of naming them all you use a wildcard *.* and they all get copied.

Doh! Automod? I don't even have automod, or really know how it works... I was just doing it manually and was giong to copy files and then alter the code on notepad++ Am I going to have to download/install this automod thing before I can do this right???
Also, I'm installing these into custom styles. So with the Copy: root/styles/prosilver/template/*.*

just use automod? this explains it well enough http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=1342275
get it here http://www.phpbb.com/mods/automod/
read this to understand better if you want to do it manually.
http://www.phpbb.com/mods/installing/
with template inheritance you install for prosilver like normal then apply the RELEVANT change to your other active styles. with automod you can do this automatically by clicking in the installed mod and at the bottom it has an option to apply it to other styles. Manually? it is usually a case of cloning over ( i.e copy and paste) any overall_header/footer.html edits the mods needs to your other styles.
the thing about automod is that it relies on using the FIND to apply edits, other mods can change those finds so you get errors when installing a mod.

Automod sounds like a huge headache saver. I think I'll abort and try to go that route. But, one more question 
In the tutorial it says
" Simply copy them to your forum's root directory (i.e. copy them to yourforum.com/phpBB3) overwriting folders when specified by the FTP client.
Note: The develop directory is not needed and is why it is no longer included in the zip file.
After uploading the files, you need to run the install script. You will find it in the /install/ directory.
Updated screenshots for 1.0.0-RC3 are pending. 1.0.0-RC3 adds a new UMIL-based installer, which is simpler than the old installer. Essentially all you should need to do is go to http://www.example.com/phpBB3/install/ and tell the installer that you wish to install AutoMOD."
I don't have a " yourforum.com/phpBB3", it doesn't exist... I'm unsure where, in my file manager, is analogous to this location. Also, it says to then go to " http://www.example.com/phpBB3/install/" and I don't have one of those either... Do you know where I might put automod files within my db so that it's functional and I can initiate the install? Thanks again
