Well, in that case I'm shipping the Mac version of my software in MSI files (you see what I did there?)

Hah!

I'd suggest if you really wanted one, send a ticket to sales - at the very least it'll register your interest, and at the very best they might wrangle something for you. Bear in mind that the community suite promotion currently running is because they're discontinuing that suite in favour of just sliding scale your pricing based on your total spend, which is great for those of us using non-suite components (for example, I pay for IP.Content, IP.Blog, and IP.Downloads; I don't pay for IP.Board or IP.Gallery - only one of my purchases is a suite component)

nfn, incorrect. I had been offered for this to be moved to the Feedback forum, and they had done so upon my acceptance of the request. Please read the thread before making assumptions. Thank you.

I am thinking about converting over to IP.B because of the whole reason why I think we're getting scammed at vB.com, but won't bring that up here, as there are numerous websites already created about this.

So I've read that you can parse include()s in a template, which actually sounds quite useful.

One question I do have, what does this mean?

# 5 day major version upgrade turnaround

Also, where would I find the "official" community modifications website for IPS? (Or is there even one available?)

Official community mods is right here on this forum: http://community.invisionpower.com/index.php?app=ccs

You will be able to browse mods, but not download. You might also not have access to read articles (but can get an idea from the titles)

Pricing

The pricing of the chat service is yet to be announced and will be based on how many people you have in your chat room at one time. Details of the package levels and pricing will be made available at a later date. The good news is that the first chat package level will be free for active IPB license holders. We hope you enjoy that extra benefit to being a license holder.

When you say active license holder, do you mean active license holder with service enhancement package?

For those asking about IP.Content on another domain, keep in mind that www.invisionpower.com is powered by IP.Content

It's not attached to the forums here though is it? I didn't realise you could plug multiple installations of IP.Content into one IP.Board framework...

It has to be said too... it's Vodafone, not Vodaphone...

As a briton, you should know better ;)

I've just noticed this yesterday since my license is nearing it's expiration date or renewal date. I lost access to my license settings and cannot get my license key, spam service key, change site URL and save FTP info.

The fact that my account is almost on the inactive members list must not mean i lose access to those info. I know it's easy to file a ticket for those information but its a bit of a hassle for staff members to bother with such small cases.

I was thinking of saving the keys in a text file and save it somewhere safe but i don't think it will be unless its on the customer panel where it should be.

Anybody else thinking the same way?

EDIT: Congratulations on everything btw. I have personally seen and have read bad things happening to VB(not that IPB wanted it to happen). I used to be a VB customer too but never went wrong when i moved to IPB.

Well, the spam service key is useless to you if your support is inactive, just as saving your FTP info is. The license key is completely worthless whether your support is active or not, and if you want to change your site URL, you can file a ticket with sales.

So really, there's no info there you need if you aren't up to date on your support.

Yes, That is allowed. They actually encourage it and use that ability as a selling point.

Hell, I've got it running in a completely separate subdomain!

Good point, FAQ updated.

Ahem, what's MSSQL 2003? You either mean MSSQL 2000 or MSSQL 2005...

What he means is that these are the restrictions:

You may not: use the Software in such as way as to condone or encourage terrorism, promote or provide pirated Software, or any other form of illegal or damaging activity.

So, yes but there are so little restrictions there may as well be none.

You forgot to mention System Requirements. vBulletin if you recall runs only on PHP/MySQL, it's worth letting people know they've got more options including PHP/MSSQL and whether Windows/IIS is supported, etc.

I've actually got a IPB (IDB?) 1.0.5 download and a 1.2 download around here. You'd only install it for nostalgia of course.

Integrating pages is beyond simple. IPB can virtually be included into your website as just another component thanks to the OO design (i.e. just include the files, call IPSMember::create() and you've just registered a user in IPB). And you can do the opposite and include your website in your forum via IP.Content (sold seperately - but sure as shoot not for $200 seperately).

Huzzah!

Just make the following change to php.ini:

arg_separator.output = "&"

If you don't want to support ugly cookieless session URLs at all, make this change:

session.use_trans_sid = 0

And there you have it. Thanks to the W3C for the explanation and fix above.

I believe that's a PHP function actually, called "cookieless sessions". And if it is, you're pretty much out of luck, because PHP adds the fraking things automatically, and PHP doesn't give a hoot about standards compliance.

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?

You don't modify core files to enable Sphinx. You just install it, and tell IPB to use "Sphinx" as the search method.

See this article in the resources.

Not sure I buy that Matt. I think it would be more advantageous if people here could find what they were looking for. If that means IPS needs to install Sphinx then that's what they should do. For instance I want some help / ideas with the Lo-Fi skin. A search on "Lo-Fi" turns up zero results.

I'm looking into installing Sphinx on my forum. I've just come up with a permission error when installing it that I need to resolve with my host.

They can't do that, since this board is their test board. If they can't count on this forum matching the baseline, then they can't adequately determine what works for the customers. And installing Sphinx isn't an option, since not all customers have that option available to them.

Yeah, if i understood correctly they are complaining about search on this forum, ie http://community.invisionpower.com/

I just dont know why dont they just install sphinx on their server... I mean this site i probably hosted from some dedicated server...

I believe the reasoning they used previously was that they have to use the configuration that the majority of their customers will use on this forum. The baseline, if you will. Installing Sphinx is not an option, as that would not be baseline (and requiring Sphinx is not something they can do).

Any reason why you guys didn't mention the MSSQL driver update in the announcement? If I hadn't decided to look at the file info (which takes manually typing in the URL since you guys remove the file info link) I wouldn't have known there was an update.

Not in the feedback forum there isn't ;)

Try the IPB Peer to Peer forum.

My bad, he seems to have posted in peer-to-peer before. That link probably has the right fix.

Don't assume that just because someone posted in peer-to-peer that they actually have a license. IPS has taken to moving posts rather than locking when a tech support question is asked.

Yoyu also mentioned that your friend has not got an active support license - if this is the case, your friend is not licensed to install IPBoard 3.0.4 unless they downloaded it from IPS (in which case they'd have all the files they need to upgrade). Getting the files from somewhere else would violate the license whether your friend purchased IPB or not.

I think it'd be good if we could receive email notification if our boards die (SQL error, mainly) - it took me a day to notice that the "Recent Status Updates" hook had crashed my board because I had no reason to log in!

You could do this though, using the "custom PHP file to execute" function of the BBCode manager. I doubt you'll ever see it in the base product though.
