Invision Community Forum and Applications Help

  1. 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…

  2. is a New Posts link. The New Posts link on vB and I are intimate friends! :(

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  6. 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…

  7. 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…

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

  9. Is there any way to disable or remove the RSS icon from my forum home page on IPB3?

  10. 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…

  11. 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?

  12. Hi! Are there any official German and/or Russian Invision Community Blog language files? I found a German one on IPBSupport.de but it's for Invision Community Blog 1.4. Invision Community Blog being at 2.0.2 at the moment, makes those files totally useless. I didn't find anything in the Resources area over at IPS either. :(

  13. 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

  14. As I keep looking around within IPB, I keep finding more ways to help improve SEO. In THIS THREAD I outlined a way to edit two Invision Community Forum files to remove the forum name from the page title. Now let's move on and edit two files to accomplish the same with Invision Community Blog. If you make these two simple edits, it will prevent the forum name from being included on your blog page and on your blog entry pages. This will give more weight to your blog name and to your blog entries. The first file to edit is /admin/applications_addon/ips/blog/modules_public/display/entry.php The line you are looking for is in the block identified as - …

  15. 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.

  16. 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…

  17. 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

  19. I have a question about user group management. What I would like to do is: - I create a user group. - I designate a member the "moderator" or "head" of that group. - Other members may apply for membership of that user group. - The Moderator/Head of the group can approve or deny those requests. Is that possible out of the box? And if not, is there a mod that does this? What I want to do is semi-recreate the social groups discussions that vBulletin has. Only I would be doing this with user groups and actual forums. I am aware that there is a plugin for IPB 2.3 that does this (sort of), but it has not been updated to 3.0 yet and I would be willing to …

    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.
