Invision Community Forum and Applications Help

Hi all, Can somebody help me out with a simple task. Fist of all my PHP sucks, I am as useless as a chocolate fire guard when it comes to PHP... I know this a simple but I keep messing things up and it's now becoming frustrating. All I want to do is make Invision Community Pages my main default index.php. I basically wany Invision Community Pages outside of the forum as my main index but still accessible via the forum as well, so my members can go back to the main page within the forum. You see this is were I get completely lost and hit the wall...? http://ipbwebmaster.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif What do I do here...? /** * You must define th…

Hi We have the blog system installed etc. Where do you start a new blog? When you are in the main blog section logged in as admin there is no place to start a blog. Also where do you edit the user settings for the blog. Thanks again for any help

Here is the php code I use for displaying random banners in my forums. I use it in my global template and just place $random_banner[$random_number] where you want the banner images to appear. This is tested on IPB 3 with images only and not 3rd party delivery methods such as Adsense <php>$random_number = rand(1, 5); $random_banner[1] = '<a href="link"><img src="img" alt="img alt" border="0" /></a>'; $random_banner[2] = '<a href="link"><img src="img" alt="img alt" border="0" /></a>'; $random_banner[3] = '<a href="link"><img src="img" alt="img alt" border="0" /></a>'; $random_banner[4] = '<a href="link"&gt…

I dont suppose anyone knows the best place to get custom Invision Community Pages work done? I dont want much, just a few alterations of the basic Invision Community Pages demo page so it works with the IPB Wrapper. All the best Dave

I found this site listed on the IP forums and realized you guys are using the exact same skin as I am for my boards, and have done almost exactly what I am trying to accomplish as your homepage. I want to use the skin as the stylesheet for my homepage, so I would assume that means I choose to select the IP board wrapper? Actually, I really have no clue. I am just trying to get my homepage to have a very basic template. I want a two column template, basic blog setup on the left, with content boxes in the right column (such as basic links to latest articles, the latest forum topics, online users, and a menu). I can't image that being too hard, but I just have no id…

I do. I have it installed on Computer Help Forums although I haven't been able to finish the import scripts so I can import my old downloads from Links and Downloads manager the system I used with vbulletin. Just like the other official addons that you can buy it does what it's designed for and does it well. I was able to add a large VM by ftp to get around my 32M php upload limit.

Is there a way to change the behavior of the "View New Content" link? I would much rather have it display the most recent... say 150.... threads that had activity in them. Right now, if I am looking a the thread list, read a few, and then log in from another computer, only the threads created since I last logged in are shown even though there are still threads that I haven't read. I'm on IPB3.04

This a very weird one... Fresh install of IPB3 and when I enable .htaccess with: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /ipb3/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /ipb3/index.php [L] </IfModule> IE stops displaying the page correctly. (FireFox Opera just fine) WITH: i44.tinypic.com/35b8j80.jpg WITHOUT: i42.tinypic.com/kbra5i.jpg NOTE: Removing the . from "RewriteRule . /ipb3/index.php [L]" and page loads, but the SEO does not work correct. I'm going to assume that for some reason its causing IE to maybe incorrectly pull css? The other thing is, ALL the h…

I've tried to make a php block but it gives me an error. This is the code I'm trying to use: <?php function tla_ads() { // Number of seconds before connection to XML times out // (This can be left the way it is) $CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 10; // Local file to store XML // This file MUST be writable by web server // You should create a blank file and CHMOD it to 666 $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME = "local_191123.xml"; if( !file_exists($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME) ) die("Script error: $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME does not exist. Please create a blank file named $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME."); if( !is_writable($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME) ) die("Script error: $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME is not writabl…

I noticed you have it setup like that here. How do I remove the extra /forum/ that is added to the url? /topic/ to for threads if you don't mind.

Anyone know the template conditional to display something after the first post only? I thought I wrote a list a long time ago before I sold the site but now I can't find it.

At least it was new to me. Our newest members, tshirts, edited the profile page. On their profile they added a image in the shape of a heart which was also a poem. See the status updates in the sidebar. On first glance it seemed pretty innocent and even struck me as a unique addition to a profile. It almost got past me and in fact it would have if I didn't notice the link that was also left. The link itself didn't even seem like spam on first glance. I clicked and then the spam radar clicked in. The page was filled with at least 1000 links. Now I go back the tshirts profile and check the image a little closer. When I hovered over it I couldn't believe my eyes. This ima…

In vBulletin you could put the board into debug mode add a Product then add a Setting Group to vBulletin options and put settings in there. For example I made a plugin for my theme called Social Media, then put options for people to enter their username for popular social media sites. Then I put links to their profiles in the footer using something like $vbulletin->options['bsmediasocial'] or whatever. So how can I do something similar with IPB?

I have started a company and want to use Invision Community Forum... My thing is this: I don't have the time right now to "set it all up" with all the mods and such...too much time marketing, advertising, etc... I know 99% what exactly i want on it and have a few skins in mind that i would like it to take on... I'm looking for someone who wouldn't mind taking on the project for me. This way i can get up and running ASAP and then learn slowly as the site grows... Setup would include: Layout design, Forum/categories design, banner ads implementation, and a few other mods... I'm thinking this should be a fairly easy thing for a experienced Invision Communit…

Anyone know the code to add profile fields back to the postbit area? I'm using a custom skin and apparently it's missing from it, and I've tried to find the code from a default template but wasn't successful on it.

Still deciding what would be best for my website. Anyone have experience using both of these? I am set to use Ip.Board but still deciding on the CMS. I have no experience using CMS but I am quite comfortable working with codes. From what I gathered, ip.content will be the easiest to make my main page have the same look as the i.board. and to pull information from ip.board to be shown on the page. While Drupal has a very good file management system but the IPB integration could break when I upgrade either of the software. My website has a lot of data and tons of pages; I estimate upwards 200+ pages. Most of them will be static pages however. In this case how would ip…

You can use this forum to help tune your mysql server. One of the most important tasks you can do to your server is to tune mysql to use only the resources to make it run smooth. If you don't tune mysql you could very well slow down your whole server because mysql will eat up the resources.

Is it possible to change how many images appear in the recent gallery hook on the forum homepage? Right now its showing 6 but I only want 4

I did a convert for my gallery which turned off my gallery and now I can't figure out how to turn it on lol. Where is the setting?
