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">…

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 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.

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.

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.

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 …

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 :) )?
