Sounds like some nice changes. Is there a place I can see them?

Just thought of something, it would be even nicer with an image instead of just showing the extension. Is it allowed to copy the icons that comes with Apache?

Update: Just read the readme and they are in the public domain and can be freely used in any application. Yay!

What icons?

I was searching for decent filetype icons for my Attachment Image hack. Never did find any I was 100% happy with.

It's a set of icons that comes with the apache distribution, they are used for directory index views if there isn't an index page in the directory (and the server configuration allows for listing the directory content).

I'll add an image showing all the files included. They serve their purpose, but not much more.

Yeah,
once you've installed you should remove that from your server, so nobody can run it.

Hey Dave,
What files do I need to upload if I'm going from 5.1 to 5.1.1? Thanks!

Hi Dave,

A question:

If I want to upgrade UBBThreads to a newer version do I need to first uninstall IIP and then reinstall it? Is there an uninstall guide? I'm not doing this now, but asking in anticipation of future needs.

The create cache table script can only be ran by an admin and it will only install the table if it doesn't already exist. It's safe to leave it alone but if you need the space go ahead and delete it.

There are two posts starting here that will explain this:

https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=integration&Number=60461

The second post was just me noting that the index.php page will also need to be uploaded.

If your upgrading to 6.1.1 I from an older .threads version I would uninstall the older IIP as well. IIP 5.1.1 is better suited to the current .threads version.

Users may want to edit the forum that was created for their shoutboxes so that it expires threads after a while otherwise it will just keep filling up.(Not sure if that takes up a lot of space or not).
My forums are set to "0" so they wont expire threads but my shoutbox I set to 30 days.
Can you add that into the config mode at all or have it set automatically?

Dave can correct me if I'm wrong... but Shoutbox is configured to only display x number of shouts.

So old shouts after x number.... are deleted by the shoutbox script. That way the board doesn't fill up.

Josh is correct. The shout buffer is deleted automatically after X number of shouts are reached.

In the Short Stats part. I was wondering why the format isn't consistant and if there is a way to fix it.

For example, some words have the first letter Capitalized and the "Boards" part doesn't ...Also, only the New Member section has a dash between the number and text.

Anyway, sorry for sharing my O.C.D.

Ok I know I'm really using a dull axe on the html here but I've managed to get my header and footer to expand and contract when dragging the browser window but I cant get the main body to do it.I still have to scroll right and left to view the whole page.

Can ya take a peek?

The .jpg file you have for your header, efslogo(1).jpg, is 966 pixels long. Shortten it to about 700 and see if that helps.

help! I have read through most of the posts in this thread so I could try and figure out the problem myself but I can't...

It's this old chestnut again: I can't see the IIP link to congfire it...

I am running 6.1.1
I have cookies running site wide
I have deleted all my cookies
I was logged in as administrator when I went to the page.
I have tried it with the index page out of the threads directory, and in the threads directory...

please help.

thanks v much.

Cookies are site wide, your logged in, and there is no link within the copyright statement at the bottom of the page? It looks as if you have removed Infopop's copyright notice from the bottom of your forum. (only users with previous wwwthreads licenses can legally do this) IIP's link tacks itself on to that. That's probably why your not seeing it.

You could add a link into your menu.php located in your .threads directory so it's available from the admin area. You need to load editconfigpal.php into your browse located in the pals directory.

Hope that helps.

I need help too...

This is the path in my index.php file:

$palspath = "http://www.ffbmc.com/ubbthreads";

I have uploaded the pals directory to my ubbthreads directory.

I uploaded index.php to the ubbthreads directory.

I set my cookies to site wide.

When I go to http://www.ffbmc.com/ubbthreads/index.php I get a blank screen!!

In configpal.php I have this line:
$pal_index['URL'] = "http://www.ffbmc.com/ubbthreads";


I can't think of anything else to check/try??? HELP???

$palspath is the full server path to your threads install.

It should be the same as $thispath in main.inc.php located in your threads directory.

There might be a problem with your domain.

I followed the link you gave http://www.ffbmc.com/ubbthreads but that came as a blank screen.

I did though get to your main page and clicking on the link for the message board, it came up as http://ffbmc.com/ubbthreads

I would suggest that you change your $palspath variable to "http://ffbmc.com/ubbthreads"

This might solve your problem

Warm regards

Set "force public" to 0 and any related cache times for the particular box your testing to 0 also. That should do the trick.

The polls in posts can still be voted on even if it is closed. Shouldn't they both be the same?

I think one of the reasons Rick has it that was is to allow admins/moderators to post polls but not allow anyone to post replies. All they would want is votes.

Very true. Maybe they should add a close poll option to not allow any more polls.

Dave.
Probably is's my mistake, but there is something missing on the 'Entrance' link. If I click it, is not point to right place on my forum. It is pointing to:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php
and should be :
http://www.mysite.com/forum/index.php
I checked the path on the only place I saw it and it's right (http://www.mysite.com/forum)
Looks how it loooks like on 'ubbt_registerednav.tmpl' =
------
<a href = "$phpurl/$FrontPage.php?Cat=$Cat" $target>{$ubbt_lang['FORUM_IND']}</a>
|
<a href = "{$config['homeurl']}/index.php?Cat=$Cat" $target>Entrance</a>
|
----------------
As you can see, the construction of the instruction are different.
Plase adivse if I should change it manually or else.

BTW. It's a great job you did with thiw IIP.

Change {$config['homeurl']} to $phpurl and it will point to your forums index. Many users use it as their main page which *should* be {$config['homeurl']}
