IPB 2.1.3 Released

[Guest]

You could use something along the lines of:

<?php


// Change this if your forums are not in '/forums':

chdir( 'forums' );


// Set so that IPB uses portal, rather than board index:

$_GET['act'] = 'home';


// Include IPB index.php:

require_once('index.php');


?>

( Save as index.php and put it in your main directory )

Your board will need to be set up correctly, including image url's, etc. for it to work correctly.

Since i upgrade my IPB from 2.0.4 to 2.1.3 the forum is getting very slow and also oppening to many connection to the database.

So many connections, that the whole server is going to hell. I have to restart the server every 30 minutes.

I have to let you know, i have try the new version (2.1.3) in 4 different server with the same resolts.

[b]Anyone knows about this problem?[/b]

Or iz it me? o:)

Thank you

I also have exactly same problem. Since upgrade to 2.1.2, my forum run like snail. I have to wait many seconds to wait for new page to load once I click on any link.

So I put that as my index.php inside of /public_html/ and it'll show http://www.domain.com in the address bar, and the portal on the screen?

Should do. :)

Yes, I don't get the board header - but everything else is fine.

How can I fix that?

@bfarber

found a simple way to fix transparent png for IE. maybe you put into next update.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/pnghowto.htm

I'm not sure why we would need to... Is there a place in the default skin where you are having trouble with a png? I only count 4 in the installation zip, and I've never noticed them when browsing a site in IE, so they can't be too much of a sore thumb even if they do display.

I would recommend going into your acp, then mysql processes and when your site slows down again, keep refreshing that page in the acp to see what is slowing everything down. This will at least tell you if it's a db query or something else.

You'll have to update your images in the ACP to be full urls. The logo img tag will be found under global_board_header (on a default skin). Change it from style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/logo4.jpg to the full url. You'll have to do this for every image (that you anticipate loading on your portal).

I agree, Brandon is doing a stellar job! :thumbsup:

definately no argument there ;)

Avatars, signature pic's, gallery ....

Avatars, signature pic's, gallery ....

You are free to implement that yourself. I'll discuss with Matt whether or not he feels it is a worthwhile addition. IE 7 will be out relatively soon, and will fix it's PNG support.

You make me laughing, just remember how many people dont use liveupdate :) And when i read all the blogs and tech magazine not many webmaster will change their *hotfixes* for ie <= v6, just MS will display now all css correct. (will ipb drop all ie hotfixes in the css when ie7 is out ?)

Maybe give out a mini howto for IPB user that are not so good in changing templates in the acp.

Hi,

I hope the next release will have some kind of util to check about the skin templates, to insure the main IPB skin been fully updated.

Right now, I am facing some strange bug when I reply to a optic, and that only happend when I use fast reply, as soon I done the reply, the forum take me to the main forum, it happend many times now. Matt and bfarber done great job on the IPB in general, well done.

As well the one I submit it on the bug tracker.

Beside these issue,

my topic ratings and topic options are still stacked on top of each other?

i downloaded before the announcment and ever done what the announcment said... re-built master templates.. re-cached, and there still stacked.

which bit of code in the template am i looking or to fix this manually?

thx

[abobader]

The topic rating do not show at all on my forum, and I tried everything, after I give up, I submit a ticket, still waiting for IPS to fix it.

[Anthony Kinson__]

ok just changed it to how it is in the diffrence report and still the same :S

[Anthony Kinson__]

ok now i'm really confused!

the diffrence report shows that for example that this

<td width='99%' align='right'>

is changed to this

<td width='1%' align='right'>

so the "removed" part of the code is whats being replaced with the "Inserted" code. well the master templates which i just re-downloaded dont have these changes in them :S for example

<td width='1%' nowrap='nowrap' style='word-wrap:break-word;'><div><{CAT_IMG}> <b>{$data['TOPIC']['title']}</b>{$data['TOPIC']['description']}</div></td>
<td width='99%' align='right'>
<div class='popmenubutton' id='topicmenu-options'><a href='#topicoptions'>{ipb.lang['topic_options']}</a> <img src='{ipb.vars['img_url']}/menu_action_down.gif' alt='V' title='{ipb.lang['global_open_menu']}' border='0' /></div>
<if="data['TOPIC']['_allow_rate'] != 0">
<div class='popmenubutton' id='topicmenu-rating'><a href='#topicrating'>{ipb.lang['topic_rating']}</a>{$data['TOPIC']['_rate_img']} <img src='{ipb.vars['img_url']}/menu_action_down.gif' alt='V' title='{ipb.lang['global_open_menu']}' border='0' /></div>
</if>
<else if="data['TOPIC']['_rate_show'] == 1 AND data['TOPIC']['_rate_img'] != ''">
<div class='popmenubutton'>{ipb.lang['topic_rating']} {$data['TOPIC']['_rate_img']}</div>
</if>

Bold Indicates Where Diffrence Report Shows Change where as in the master templates there not changed :unsure:

had the same problem mate, its a per group option too. you need to set each group to be able to rate, tricky to find tho, i flew past it several times, the option is a drop down as opposed to the yes/no radio buttons

[Anthony Kinson__]

sorted it myself now :lol:

i hate upgrades :(

Any news on IPB 2.1.4 progress? No changes of fixed bugs count in bugtracker for several days.

It whould be very nice to get IPB work with MySQL 5.0, at least.

[BognorRidges]

I made a mistake putting some mods on 2.1.3 and I want to put some more but I'm stuck now.
Waiting for the next release, that I hope is the final, so that I can continue with my forum.
I hope the new release will be in effect very soon to put an end to my misery. :whistle:

It is the final and has been for some time now :)

[xcom923]

the site won't let me download....I don't know why....

[.John.]

What error are you getting (if any)?

[xcom923]

nothing.....it just goes to a page then.....nothing. I tried several PCs and get the same thing

[bïöµï¢]

[b]5. chmod the cache folder to 777 (or if you wish it a bit saver to 666) if you use linuxserver

[/b]#chmod -R 777 *

(-R is for recursive into all subfolders)

At my server a .htaccess takes care of things, so there's no need for cavemen chmods and besides, the IPB install/update WILL tell you if there's a need for a chmod ..

[bïöµï¢]

Temp. fix for New PM popup:

jscripts/ipb_global_xmlenhanced.js

		myass_content.style.width = '399px';

		myass_content.style.overflow = 'auto';

Removing above lines enables popups again

.. is there no comment on this?..

ah, just read Matt's post .. it's fixed :)
