[3.3.X] [Videos System 2.3.X] Views in Sidebar hook

Tue, 01 May 2012 04:08:31 +0000

SideBarHook - List View - Global Box Sort By?: Video Views:

First go to look &Feel>Skin>skins_video_external>SidebarHookTemplate

Find:

{$this->lang->words['vs_date_added']}: {parse date="$r['date']" format="long"}

Add Directly Below:

{parse format_number="$r['views']"} {$this->lang->words['views']} {$this->lang->words['vs_views']}

This will show the amount of views the video has in the sidebar template. I used this addition when I wanted the sidebar to show videos with the most views. it's really handy.

{parse variable="helpActive" default="" oncondition="IPS_APP_COMPONENT == 'core' AND $this->request['module'] == 'help'" value="active"}
{IPSLib::getAppTitle( 'forums' )}

[3.3.X] Upgrading 3.2.2 - 3.2.3 Skins

Sat, 24 Mar 2012 22:30:27 +0000

Discovery:

Active Users Template Bit Changed During Upgrade and Transfer of Lower Version skins.

Fix -

Under the Topic View and Forum View templates, find your active users code and change it to the following:
topicViewTemplate:




  
   {parse expression="sprintf( $this->lang->words['active_users_title'], $displayData['active_users']['stats']['total'] )"}
   {parse expression="sprintf( $this->lang->words['active_users_detail'], $displayData['active_users']['stats']['members'], $displayData['active_users']['stats']['guests'], $displayData['active_users']['stats']['anon'] )"}
   
								

								
								 {parse expression="implode( ', ', $displayData['active_users']['names'] )"}

forumIndexTemplate


   
		{parse expression="sprintf( $this->lang->words['active_users_titlef'], $active_user_data['stats']['total'] )"}
		{parse expression="sprintf( $this->lang->words['active_users_detail'], $active_user_data['stats']['members'], $active_user_data['stats']['guests'], $active_user_data['stats']['anon'] )"}
		

		
				 
				  {parse expression="implode( ', ', $active_user_data['names'] )"}

3.2. Adding 'Member Number' back to topic view

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:02:48 +0000

Here's a quick article on how to restore the Member Number to topic view.

ACP > Look / Feel > (choose skin) > Manage Templates / CSS > Global Templates > UserInfoPane.

Find...

		
			{parse expression="$this->registry->getClass('class_localization')->formatNumber( intval( $author['posts'] ) )"} {$this->lang->words['m_posts']}

Add this line just before the final tag:

Member:  {$author['member_id']}

You should now hopefully have something like this:

   	 
			{parse expression="$this->registry->getClass('class_localization')->formatNumber( intval( $author['posts'] ) )"} {$this->lang->words['m_posts']}
		
		
Member Number: {$author['member_id']}

Save.

Disable Fast Reply

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:06:06 +0000

A few people have expressed an interest in removing the fast reply from topic view. Here is a simple skin edit to do that.

Its in two parts as part 1 involves removing the fast reply window and part 2 adds the 'post reply' button to the end of the page, otherwise you'd have to scroll to the top to add a reply.

ACP > Look / Feel > Skin Manager > (choose skin) > Templates / CSS > Topic View > TopicViewTemplate

Part One, remove the fast reply box:

Find...




	
		{$this->lang->words['topic_add_reply']}
		{$this->lang->words['locked_reply_fr']}

		
		
			memberData['member_id']}" seotitle="{$this->memberData['members_seo_name']}" template="showuser" base="public"}" title='{$this->lang->words['your_profile']}' class='ipsUserPhotoLink left'>lang->words['users_photo'],$this->memberData['members_display_name'])"}" class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_medium' />
		
			{IPSMember::buildNoPhoto(0, 'small' )}
		
		
			
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
				
					
				
				
					{parse expression="implode( '
', $topic['_fastReplyStatusMessage'] )"}
				
				{parse editor="Post" options="array( 'type' => 'full', 'minimize' => 1, 'isTypingCallBack' => 'ipb.topic.isTypingCallBack', 'height' => 180, 'autoSaveKey' => 'reply-' . $topic[tid] )"}
				
				
				
					  			
				
			
		
		
	



	
		{parse template="editorLoadJs" group="editors" params="$displayData['smilies']"}

Comment it out by adding a to the end (do not remove the code)

Part two, add 'post reply' to the end of the page.

Immediately after the code you have removed, you'll see this line:

Add the following code just above that 'close topic' line but after the code you commented out:

	
		
			
				
					
						{parse replacement="lock_icon"} {$this->lang->words['top_poll_only_reply']}
					
						{parse replacement="lock_icon"} {$this->lang->words['top_poll_only']}
					
				
					
						{parse replacement="lock_icon"} {$this->lang->words['top_locked_reply']}
					
						{parse replacement="lock_icon"} {$this->lang->words['top_locked']}
					
				
			
		
			
				
					{$this->lang->words['topic_add_reply']}
				
					{$this->lang->words['top_cannot_reply']}

Save.

3.2.x Add one or more custom block in sidebar

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 07:47:11 +0000

As you all know you can add some automatic or custom content in the sidebar of the board index of IPB 3.2
To insert new custom blocks you can use the classical (e32)Custom Sidebar Blocks 1.5.0 http://community.inv...sidebar-blocks/ that allows you to insert one or more custom blocks in sidebar, but all these will be displayed next to each other, and not interspaced with other automatic blocks.
With a manual edit of template you can put at least another 2 blocks, one or more blocks in the sidebar above all, and one or more below all.

3.2.x Adjust the log pruning schedule

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 13:26:35 +0000

IP.Board provides options (System Settings > Advanced > Log Pruning) to enable / disable pruning various logs such as spider logs, database error logs, spam logs etc.

The only issue some administrators may have is that thirty days may be too long, or in some rare cases not enough but again not enough to justify not pruning them.

A simple tweak is possible to adjust the pruning schedule.

Connect via FTP or your hosts file manager and open admin/applications/core/tasks/logprune.php

Around line 34, find...

protected $deleteTime = 2592000;

Replace that line with one of the following, depending on what you require.

14 days

protected $deleteTime = 1209600;

7 days

protected $deleteTime = 604800;

3 days

protected $deleteTime = 259200;

Save the change. The settings description will still indicate 30 days but the actual pruning will take place at the days interval you have specified. , remember this change will effect them all so you may wish to disable any pruning you do not want to occur at that interval.

3.2.x Public polls by default

Sat, 29 Oct 2011 10:51:54 +0000

Here is a quick, simple tutorial on how to have "Make votes public?" checked by default. This may eliminate the problem of members who do wish to have a public poll but are unable to change it after submitting it.

A small skin edit is required.

ACP > Look / Feel > Skin Manager > (choose skin) > Manage Templates / CSS > Post Screen > Poll Box >

Find...


						checked='checked' />
						{$this->lang->words['poll_fs_public']}

Change to...


						checked='checked' />
						{$this->lang->words['poll_fs_public']}

Save the change. Repeat for other skins if required. Quick pic:
