  1. Could you please clarify 2 questions:


    1) How can I change the default text "IPB portal" to the "Amazing portal" for example?


    2) How can I change the content of this default portal page to the About comprehensive description for example?




    1. The name on the "Portal" tab is set in the General Configuration settings: Website name. Change that to whatever you want.
    2. The content of the portal page is done by editing the portal skin template i.e. Loook and feel > Your skin > Portal > skeletonTemplate

  2. You can add a reply button by editing the topic view template.


    Find:

    <li><a href="{parse url="module=post&amp;section=post&amp;do=reply_post&amp;f={$this->request['f']}&amp;t={$this->request['t']}&amp;qpid={$post['post']['pid']}" base="publicWithApp"}" title="{$this->lang->words['tt_reply_to_post']}">{parse replacement="reply_post_icon"} {$this->lang->words['post_reply']}</a></li>

    Add below

    <li><a href='{$displayData['reply_button']['url']}' title='{$this->lang->words['topic_add_reply']}' accesskey='r'>{parse replacement="{$displayData['reply_button']['image']}_icon"} {$this->lang->words['topic_add_reply']}</a></li>



    Hope this helps. I edited the language file to make the Quote reply button actually say Quote reply.

  3. I added a few buttons and renamed things like attached. I hardly have any quoted replies. Without doing this most members were using Quote reply as their standard means of replying.

  4. I too would like to uninstall this mod and have loaded the unlock xml file. I don't get the uninstall button next to the settings.

    I was able to delete the task from the system schedule. I have deleted the uploaded files.

    I want to install and run the site map generator by someone else but want to fully uninstall this mod first.

    Please help.

  5. Re Recent Posts hook. IP Content can be used to create a Recent Posts block. I've created one and so far it doesn't seem to have overloaded the system whereas the one in the Resources section did (same one as linked to above). Here's what it looks like. I also created a Recent Topic block as well. The only thing I haven't figured is how to only show the last reply from the most recent replies. With a busy topic you may get 2-3 replies from the same topic showing.

  6. Perhaps many of us don't use / don't allow remote image hosting?

    I agree however that using images in forums needs improvement and even with image attachments like I use at my site, version 2 was superior to version 3. In version 2 clicking on an image attachment opened the image in a new window. If you had multiple image attachments then you could open them all for comparison if you wanted to. Now it's either using Lightbox or Lightbox disabled. With Lightbox disabled image attachments open in the same window so doing image comparisons is no longer possible. Then if you do use Lightbox you can't save images and you can't do image comparisons.

    Then of course there's the issue of no image size restrictions either for remote hosted images or image attachments.

    IPS needs to tidy up the use of images in posts before adding fancy new enhancements.

  7. I can see the logic in having an IPB forum hosted by IPS but can't see any logic in hosting a VB forum with them since IPS wouldn't be able to provide any assistance with the forum if things go wrong. Therefore you might as well host the VB forum somewhere else where the price is a bit lower.

    But why anyone would want to use VB is beyond me!!

  8. I added the "View Todays Active Content" link so that it appears next to the "View new content" link.

    The template to edit is Global Templates > globalTemplate

    Find:

    {$this->lang->words['view_new_posts']}</a></li>

    Paste after:

    <li><a href="{parse url="app=core&amp;module=search&amp;do=active" base="public"}" title="{$this->lang->words['today_active_cont']}">{$this->lang->words['new_active_cont']}</a></li>



    Hope this helps.

  9. I run a reasonably active board and I'm not experiencing any resource issues. (dedicated server) I was with the recent posts hook in the resources section here and had to uninstall it. I have mine refreshing every 60 seconds. I could probably have it updating on demand and not have any problems.

  10. It's sort of like that now with forum attachments being stored in folders named like "monthly_01_2008". What I would like to see is gallery images storage tidied up as I have a large number of folders titled with Unix date stamps which don't mean a lot. Uploaded avatars need tidying up as well as these just get dumped in the uploads folder.

    But yes storing by year then monthly sub folders would be a lot tidier.
