Invision Community Forum and Applications Help

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

  2. 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 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?

  5. 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…

  6. 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.

  7. Whats the best and easiest way to enable the Invision Community Forum search friendly url's?

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

    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?

  10. 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?

  11. 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…

  13. 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…

  14. 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?

  15. 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…

  16. 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?

  17. 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…

  18. 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 :) )?

  19. Is it possible to publish news with categories with CCS? I use Joomla right now and find it very nice to be able to use different categories for my news. At first glance I only saw Pages in CCS, not Posts/News/Blogs or anything like that. Also - is there some kind of Video-Demo or Tutorial for the newbies like me?

  20. I just purchased invision power's latest product CCS. We're going to give CCS support here on our forums like we do with all Invision Power Products so we hope to bring you some great information on it.
