On that note...anyone have issues with me using encryption on function files? (would be ioncube based) .. I recently found numerous sites that have literally stole the entire marketplace (this includes my application)... so I've tossed around the idea of adding in a "call back" for licensing in 2.0.. which would require me to encrypt to keep thieves from removing/altering the code .. seeing as all servers these days (even shared hosting) offers ioncube .. I don't see this being much of an issue .. but I do want to know what my clients think on the subject..

I really hate to have to do something like this ... but these kinda actions by these pirates is what kills development .. as developers tend to shy away from projects that are being pirated..and I can see their point .. actions like these can really cause the developer to not want to continue a project .. now me personally .. I don't mind so much..as my clients don't pay for the application .. but for the support that comes with it .. but I do have issues with ppl stealing my work .. and presenting it as their own...leaving my name thru-out the code...and injecting the source with malicious content (these are things I have come across on these pirate sites) ... this makes me and my company look bad, so I'm looking into steps to control this matter...

so all thoughts and ideas on this matter are welcome

most non 3.3 themes on a 3.3 build will produce other issues ... like the theme selector breaks on most 3.2 based themes on 3.3 (at least ones I have tested against)



yeah I did have to do the one line change but thats only issue (skinwise) I have had.kind of in holding pattern until they get done.

they also added an navigation check for IPC menus in the global template ... hence the modified hookpoint .. your better off installing 1.1.5 .. and adding in the check to the the themes you haven't upgraded yet .. this way ProMenu is ready for 3.3 and any 3.3 compliant themes

@Robert Simons: I totally understand you, but would it really help to encrypt the code or would it just "harm" the paying users as it is with the most copyright systems, where the paying ones are the idiots how suffer from the copyright thing an the users how use it illegal are happy ones cause somebody removed the restrictions? The people how wants to make your company look bad might also still fined a way to get around your restrictions.

to achieve this:

find this in the global template


<if test="applicationsloop:|:is_array($header_items['applications']) AND count($header_items['applications'])">

and add this directly above it


	  <if test="hasCustomPrimaryNavigation:|:!empty($header_items['primary_navigation_menu'])">

	   {$header_items['primary_navigation_menu']}

	  <else />



then close the if statement just under the applicationsloop if statement closing if

well with anything .. it can be decrypted .. but to achieve this..it would require an expensive program ( specifically ioncube .. and it isn't cheap ) ... might not stop a pirate .. but will definable stop most of them .. and be quite the deterrent for the rest ... and as far as harming the program .. I don't see it doing that .. any areas were the end user would need to edit..to change some display..or slightly change some functionality..they would be able to do this as those files would remain open .. only the source function files .. which should never be altered by the end user anyway would be encrypted

this is the edit needed for skins for me?
if I don't hear any timeframe today for fixing them I am going through and doing it manually, just hate to do that for paid items you know.

Hi Robert. I hope you can help me but I've a wee issue with my Pro Menu since IPS upgraded me to 3.3 this afternoon. I've looked through the last few days posts and not noticed someone else with it but I might have missed something so I apologise if I'm double posting.

Speaking of double, that is the problem I'm having. My board has two primary menus running side by side. One with the images, and one without. Screenshot coming up...

post-132906-0-37080300-1333033393_thumb.

I've probably done something stupid (aside from getting up this morning lol) but cannot find it. Any help would be very gratefully received. :D

Thanks folks, and Robert. :)

things to check:

1) I assume your wanting to remove the default menus ... make sure this setting is still set properly
2) Make sure you have upgraded to ProMenu 1.1.5
3) Make sure all related hooks are version 1.1.5

if these conditions are met and your still having issues, drop me a pm and we can take a look

Hi, was just coming to say I'd sorted the problem, but you've replied already - thanks for your help but sorry to have wasted your time. In the end it was the Removal Tools hook I'd missed. IPS deactivated all my hooks so i'm slowly working my way back through them.

Thanks again Robert! :)

Jason.

issue resolved .. Content users .. make sure you DO NOT disable the IP.Content Bar .. this hook being disabled does seem to effect the ProMenu output..though not sure as to WHY this would happen




Just bought this for vanilla 3.3 and cannot get it to display. I followed the enclosed instructions and disabled content to come here and read DO NOT disable it.

What can i check to get it to display? I have all the hooks and "display menu" ticked. Wondering if I put munu_icons in the right place? Would that make a difference?

what version..you should be on 1.1.5 .. what your reading in this support forum was the migration of this app from 3.2 to 3.3 .. that is in the documentation as it applied to 1.1.3 ... this issue was quickly resolved (within hours) and re-released ... its marked in the documentation it does work in junction with IP.Content menu Bar as of 1.1.4
Upgrade from 1.1.3 Instructions

Upgrades of this product follows the basic pattern as any other standard IP.Board application. Only core edits made to fix a few display bugs and an alteration in the primary display hook so it now works in junction with the IP.Content Menu Bar hook.

things to check:

1) Make sure you have upgraded to ProMenu 1.1.5
2) Make sure all related hooks are version 1.1.5
3) Check to make sure promenu is not functional on the unedited default theme

if these conditions are met and your still having issues, drop me a pm and we can take a look
