I am interested in IP.Chat for the community hosted on my own server. Is this solution only for hosted Communities? Can you tell, what is the timeline for the first release?

Thank you, I have found it already in settings, have seen the page 20 times but did not see it before :blush:

It is possible to integrate sphinx and stay releasable at the same time? I mean, it is possible to make a solution without modification of the core files?

I am aware of MySQL full text searching restrictions. I would just suggest 3 things that will make the search feature in this board more usable: 1. Turn off flood control or reduce it significantly for registered customers. They are your potential friends and not enimies :) 2. Makin boolean searching "this +that" by default, as there is no practical approach in searching "apples OR pines". And it is more intuitive as this is default in the major search engines throught the world. 3. Display only topics, not posts by default. By the way, there is no such option in 'advanced' search form: "Search titles only" - does not search in the posts body "Search posts only" - is opposite to what I have suggested.

I am complaining about the search function in this board. :) For my custom installation, I am able to change it, I know.

For me, but not for my community of not experienced members. I cannot tell any of my 45.000 members how the search in board differs from the usual search in search engines. Plus must be set by default. And I cannot imagine any case, where I am looking for words concating with OR. You? :rolleyes:

Hello, I am trying to solve some issues myself, without troubling support and community. So I try to use search feature in this forum. It is not really usable and often does not make sense: 1. When I am looking for search phrase like "import from coppermine", I get any topic where import OR from OR coppermine appears. I appreciate, especially, search results mathing the single word "from". :) 2. When nothing is found and I try another search phrase I am always have to wait 20 seconds. Why should I wait, if nothing has been found? Why am I assumed to be a flooder as registered customer on this board? 3. In the search results I would like to have a topic only once and not all the posts from one topic. It is often not enough to read the found post, but the whole topic to understand it. So, I would not like to have all the posts from the already readen topic listed 5 to 10 times in the search results. 4. I would use Google search on this board (as more sophisticated alternative), but the board for customer is set private, so that no Google search is possbile. Apart of the 4th point the search feature is not user friendly. Not here and not in the customer boards.

Thank you! This link looks better that the one I have posted. You are right. I have started to customize IPB yesterday and found the code mostly logical. I am a bit "API addicted" :) and this way to work is new for me. I will do my best.

Hello stoo200, I am not sure what you mean. I have found this link http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/official.html?category=57 But this is not an API. There are only some examples for copy-paste :(

I have it: $prefix = ipsRegistry::DB('mykey')->obj['sql_tbl_prefix']; ipsRegistry::DB('mykey')->obj['sql_tbl_prefix'] = ''; // here comes the sql query with another prefix ipsRegistry::DB('mykey')->obj['sql_tbl_prefix'] = $prefix; However, I am still interested in getting API :rolleyes:

Hello, I am experienced web programmer and quite new to IPB. As I have to modify some conversion scripts and develop some custom applications, I need API. Where can I get it? My actual question is, how to temporary change sql_tbl_prefix in the script? ipsRegistry::DB('mykey')->????? I need to change the sql_tbl_prefix only once while conversion to get data from the tables with another prefix. I do not need new DB connection, as there is the same DB, but just another table prefix. Once I've got the data I will reset the prefix back to default. I would not post this question here, if I had API :) Thank you, Sonya
