Invision Community Forum and Applications Help

  1. 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…

  2. 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. :(

  4. 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…

  5. Invision Community General Help · Started by AWS,

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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 …

  9. 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…

  10. 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

  11. 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.

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

  15. 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.

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

  17. 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 - …

  18. 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

  19. 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?

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