Invision Community Forum and Applications Help

    I been scouring the web trying to find information on changing the default CCS template to incorporate my custom template. Same as you have done here :) The lack of documentation has me a bit frustrated so I'm hoping you can help me. Basically how do we change the CCS to use our custom templates?

  2. If you notice on the main blog page it only shows 2 blog entries. I can't for the life of me find the setting to change. I want at least 5 entries. There is a setting for default amount of posts to show on the blog page, but, it seems to affect only member blogs and not the main blog index. Anyone know how to get the page to show more than 2 blog posts?

  3. I don't mean to start any sort of flame war but what are some of the great advantages of IPB? I've used phpbb2, phpbb3, and vbulletin but never installed IPB ... any compelling reason for me to try it?

  4. Is there a feature or plugin that lets users have private or password protected threads? Private as in that the thread starter controls who can read/write in that thread.

    While I like the gallery default display unless you have a number of categories it doesn't look good to me. I prefer the forum layout and that is what I use on my Invision Community Pages setups. What are you're thoughts on this?

  6. What are some of the places you would recommend that I go to get styles for an IPB board?

  7. What are some of your favorite IPB MODs and what kind of functionality do they provide?

  8. Since this site seems new and just starting, anyone know of some articles or places to read how to use IPB?

    is there a specific place you go for custom skins?

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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

  13. anyone have a sidebar coded while using the IPB wrapper template? I need one but can't seem to get it to work properly.

  14. 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?

  15. 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

  16. 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.

  17. 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?

  18. 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…

  19. Hi there! From my IPB < 2.0 days I seem to remember that there was a German website and/or forum that provided support in German and German lang-files for Invision Community Forum. Is there a site like that around? Is there anything like Invisionize around? I mean Invisionize was sort of going down hill last time I checked (reputation wise) a few years ago. So I guess my question is: are there any good resource websites for IPB (like this wonderful forum :) )?
