    Hope this is added to page databases. So I can add custom icons more easy without creating to much custom css
    I have a database where I need each icon to be car manufacturer logo.

    Edit: i've finally put custom icon in entire website (forum and database). But, instead to put entire code in custom.css, i've used this structure for pages:

    +

     
    and code in custom.css just for forum icon.
    this preserve to put unuseful css when not required

    Hi!
    Like from object,
    can be a great feature add ability to change category icon in pages database via category settings.
    otherwise, atm, all category contain same icon and this isn't a great view.
    i hope this can be implemented in feature release

    Edit: this can be a good feature also in forum category...

    Dennis_87 reacted to Woodsman in Upgrade from IP. 3.4.x to IPS4.0 (updated)   
    Upgrade from IP. 3.4.x to IPS4.0
    I am bringing this back again seeing there are still many that want to know how to upgrade.
    This is an updated version from my original post where the upgrade is explained from start to finish.
    So you think you are ready to take the plunge and try a test install / upgrade from your current IP Board to the current IPS4.0 beta and later to the final release. Well we will see.
    {Comment} The following steps are with the assumption you have already created a test install of your current board and made all the preparations leaving your current live board intact.
    If Not then see the following article. Creating a Duplicate Local Test board from you Live Board. at the bottom of this article.
    Step One.

    1st, Download and run Get Ready For IPS 4.0 1.0.3 to test your current install to see if it is in fact ready. you can get your copy here. http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/7046-get-ready-for-ips-40/
    OK! all is green and good to go then skip the next step and continue on.
    But you are showing errors that need to be fixed. OK it's not the end of the world so there is no need to find a cliff or skyscraper to jump from. Download and run IPS UTF8 Database Converter 1.1.13 you can get it here. http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/6823-ips-utf8-database-converter/
    Run the converter and let it do its thing, it will take a while. When this is finished re run Get Ready For IPS 4.0 1.0.3 to make sure all previous errors are fixed. If so we can go forward if not now you can find that cliff or skyscraper. NO Just Kidding!!! But you may want contact support with any errors.

    Step Two.

    1st, Make a backup of your Database call it whatever you like as long as you know where to go if the need comes up.

    2nd, Here is a trick I use on my local due to a few corrupt downloads that failed causing me to start a test installs from scratch.

    1, Create a _347 folder in your root directory and move all your files into it. Another backup you say? Yep! To go along with the above database backup should something go south on you.

    2, Providing you have IP.Downloads copy these files back to your Forum Root Directory from the _347folder.
    Copy the following folders, downloads, public, screenshots and uploads along with your conf_global.php file. Otherwise only public, uploads and conf_ global.php will due.

    3, Copy all the files from the IPS4.0 zip file you downloaded from your clients center to your new test install directory. From your browser go to your test install site http://example.com/admin/upgrade/ and begin the upgrade process.......... Go to Site!
    If the upgrader asks for your license key, add it but remember to use -TESTINSTALL immediately after the license key. 1234567890-12345-123-12345-1234567890-TESTINSTALL
     
     Creating a Duplicate Local Test board from you Live Board.
    Setting up a test board for upgrade is fairly easy but time consuming.
    In this section of this Tutorial is a guide for those that have never attempted to create a backup test site of the original live site for upgrade compatibility or other testing purposes.
    For those of you creating a local test server on your own computer using server software like Wamp, Xampp or Mamp. Follow these easy steps.
    Make a duplicate copy of your forum site by downloading it via FTP Forum Root to a location on your PC. Now log into your cpanel, PhpMyAdmin and Export the compete associated database.
    In this example we will be using the Wamp environment.
    Copy your forum site files into your Wamp - www directory example (C:\wamp\www\test-forum) Go into Wamp via your browser PhpMyAdmin, create a new database and Import the newly saved database into it.
    In your forum directory C:\wamp\www\test-forum find  your conf_global.php.
    In your conf_global.php settings you need to change these settings.
    $INFO['sql_database'] = 'original';   to
    $INFO['sql_database'] = 'new_db_name';   and
    $INFO['board_url'] = 'http://example.com/forum';   to
    $INFO['board_url'] = 'http://example.com/test-forum';
    And the same with the sql user if needed.
    $INFO['sql_user']       = 'tester';
    Now go to the ACP System Settings - General Configuration make all pertinent changes to Path to 'upload' directory and Upload URL. You can find the hint to these new URL's below the text boxes for example:  "IP.Board has detected your uploads path as: D:/wamp/www/test-forum/uploads"  and  IP.Board has detected your uploads url as:
    These changes will also need to be made in IP.Blog Settings and IP.Gallery if you have them.
    Go to System - Server Environment - Settings: Server Environment click on Update Settings. This will Sync your new server location settings in your new database.
    Next go to Look & Feel - Disable or remove all 3rd party skins.
    Go to Template Tools in the left side panel  check all boxes under - Rebuild Master Skin Data click the Rebuild button. When this is finished click Recache Skin Sets after. 
    Go back to System and Cache Management. Click on Rebuild Global Chaches Cache, Rebuild FURL Cache and then Recache ALL. Though some will say this is not necessary but trust me on this. Your IPS 4 upgrade will love you for doing these.
    Next back under System - Manage Applications & Modules - Disable all 3rd party Apps then click Recache Apps & Modules.
     Next step Manage Hooks - Disable all 3rd party hooks then click Reimport Application Hooks...
    Now lastly before doing the actual upgrade go back to your testboard front end via your browser and test to see if all is working correctly. Making sure it is an exact mirror to your live board. 
    ***NOTE***
    As you make these changes in the ACP and save each they are also saved in the new Database.
     
    (After creating a 3.4.7 test install and all is working....)
    ​Create a _347 backup folder move all the existing files into it. Thus creating a complete backup of the board you are working with. Do the same with your database by backing it up to another name like "new347-backup". You can do this in PhpMyAdmin.
     If you have IP.Downloads, you will want to copy (duplicate) the following folders from your _347 backup directory you just made back to your forum root. downloads, public, screenshots, uploads and conf_global.php.
     If you do not have IP.Downloads than all you need to copy back to the root is your public and uploads folders with the conf_global.php.
     So if your new forum root directory for the test upgrade is named "my-testboard" or "my-testboard.com" the above files need to be copied there.
    After this has been completed copy your latest IPS4 beta files you downloaded from the client center to the forum root "my-testboard" or "my-testboard.com" with the other files you just put  there. Start the upgrade if it asks for your license key, add it but remember to use -TESTINSTALL immediately after the license key. 1234567890-12345-123-12345-1234567890-TESTINSTALL.

    Dennis_87 reacted to acfan_merged in Kudos on 3.0.x   
    I just wanted to give kudos to the staff for all of their work on the new board.

    We have a forum which carries a visual theme which we have kept with since the version 1.x days. Despite the skin changes that came with 3.0, we have found that skin development time was cut in half to bring our look into line with the previous layout while still keeping the improvements that were made to the software.

    Our migration strategy ended up being especially fun, as we migrated to a new domain at the same time as we were applying the upgrade. The only real issues that we had in our first test run were related to not uninstalling mods in the old structure before upgrading. As long as you turn off all mods installed with the Universal Mod Installer and ensure all forums and members are set to the "use board default" skin choice before running an upgrade, things go smoothly.

    We have been live for 24 hours now on 3.0.3, and have had ZERO complaints,,, in fact we have had quite a few positive comments about all of the improvements both us and IPB have made.

    Kudos again to the IPB Development team - you took an impossible task and came up with a product that blows away the competition!
