Hey Dave, like Salim said, I have had many people ask me about my website and the IIP setup, and they bought UBB.threads as opposed to VB just because of your portal type system. So, keep up the great work. It is such a great asset to threads, and is still very much in its infancy. Look forward to what the future will bring, especially the paypal addon

Haven't seen it yet... but I think Dave got stuck fixing a furnace.

No pressure from me. When he finishes.... I'll install it. Depending on my week.... if he finishes it soon, I could probably have it up and running by next weekend to check it out.

Got it figured out!

Totally my fault... I did not add in the lines:
Code
 <br />if ($paction == "library") { <br />    include "{$palspath}/pals/library.php"; <br />} <br />if ($paction == "photogallery") { <br />    include "{$palspath}/pals/photogallery.php"; <br />}  


after the
Code
 <br />// create wide right column <br />echo "$widerightcolstart";  


Thanks for the help, Dave. Hope this takes something off your plate! Sorry to "bug" you with a bone-head error...

I've made IIP pretty easy to install compared to some earlier versions. If you can set up .threads you'll be able to set up IIP.

[]So Josh do we have an opinion on the paypal module yet? [/]

We (me and a good friend who is a heating/cooling contractor) worked on that !@#$%^% furnace over the weekend to limp it through. We installed a new one today. Woo hooo you just don't know how happy this makes me. LoL

We couldn't remove the old furnace since it's huge and as far as we can tell needs to be cut up with a torch before it can be taken out the door. It's an old coal furnace converted to gas and it's huge to say the least.

I'll be making a purchase from myself here shortly to test the paypal interface live. If all goes well I should be sending Josh the zip there after.

Please help. I would like the eventspal.php to be listed. But I would only like to have it displayed for those that are logged in that have access to a private calendar. It currently does not do a check for this.

no access = not showing the box at all
access = show the box


Thanks

You could edit the index.php script to check their groups/status before including what ever custom pal box your using (number 1 by default). Other boxes could be done in a simular manner if needed.

Thanks dave .

But my buddy omegatron is helping out installing both threads and IIP. I cant thank him enough, I cant imagine what would I have done without him, I would have been like totally lost.

But once I get my hands on it, I am sure in no time I will be as expert as you dave . IN MY DREAMS THAT IS

Why does this no longer work for index when called from menupal.php?? Any page I call from the include no longer displays.

if ($paction == "DDZChat") {
include "chat/index.html";
}

I noticed in threadsdev frontpage,that every news post has a picture in the upper left corner. I wonder how can I do this but for the upper right corner, with news text proper alligned. I tried with html after created it in ms frontpage but the result was no good at all.

Thanks

In your newspal.php script find this:

Code
<br />if (($palPicture != "http://") && ($palPicture)) {<br />   $userPic = "<img src=\"$palPicture\" width=\"$palPicWidth\" height=\"$palPicHeight\" alt=\"$palUsername\" align=\"left\" />";<br />}<br />else {<br />   $userPic = "<img width=\"65\" height=\"75\" src=\"{$config[phpurl]}/images/nopicture.gif\" alt=\"$palUsername\" align=\"left\" />";<br />}<br />


and change it to this:

Code
<br />if (($palPicture != "http://") && ($palPicture)) {<br />   $userPic = "<img src=\"$palPicture\" width=\"$palPicWidth\" height=\"$palPicHeight\" alt=\"$palUsername\" align=\"right\" />";<br />}<br />else {<br />   $userPic = "<img width=\"65\" height=\"75\" src=\"{$config[phpurl]}/images/nopicture.gif\" alt=\"$palUsername\" align=\"right\" />";<br />}<br />


and that should place the user's pictures to the right.

Thanks Dave. I thought that it was a custom pic. Is there any way to choose for every post a different pic so it has nothing to do with the profile of the news poster? I tried with html as I said before but the result was very bad. If you know any alternative or an html code that works
The result I would like to accompish is like in your test page of iip pro but with a different logo for every post

Dave,

Question about newspal it think. I helped install Threads and for a guy. Never seen this behavior before but I assume this must be something about his server which is a windows server. Setting up the index fails if you set more than one or two newsgroups. Now if I select one newsgroup and go back and edit one at a time you can cross your fingers and it works. However the index page will hang in a day or so. The index has hung at least 4 times in the last 5 days. Basically I have just deleted configpal.php and reconfigured IIP.

There seems to be a pattern developing here. Is this by chance a window's box? When I get a chance to finish up 5.5 I'll go over the scripts and try and make sure I have them working even if register globals is off.

Does the configure file get changed "all by itself"...? That would seem extremely strange. If at all possible I would love to have telnet/ftp access to the site to check some things out.

For the most part I believe it's a register globals problem. Perhaps I'll take a bit longer on 5.5 and fully utilize the "get_input" function of .threads. This will probably solve the problems once and for all. It's just a lot of tedious work... lol

Thanks for answering This is a windows box. I helped a guy install Threads and IIP since he was new. Talk about an experience. How bout a windows box without PHP or MYSQL

I had to get them to install PHP and MYSQL and tell the guy how to set up MYSQL. I just checked and register globals are off. The configpal does not necessarily get changed but after the index hangs I found best to just start over by deleting it. There is no telnet access to this site. Everything is FTP or bust. Is there a quick fix or do you think getting them to change the register globals to on in the PHP.INI file will solve it.

Changing the register globals to "on" should fix the problem. This is definately an area I need to spend some quality time on for 5.5

As far as IIP Pro goes I have this setting accounted for. (was easy to do when completely rewriting things... LoL)

Would anyone be interested in a pal box that lists all the boards the user has access to? I've done a module for Mambo Site Server and it would be quite easy to rewrite it as a pal box for IIP I think.

Any idea why I can't view html in my index.php even if I see without any problem in the regular forum? I allow html in the forum settings. I don't have any problem if I use standard text

In the IIP setup page... there's an option for each news forum to "strip HTML" make sure that isn't on.

I've finally gone live with my site and my users are happily digging through all the features. I knew they'd love .Threads.

Question I have is... My Max Online on the IIP page isn't showing any data since I went live. It WAS working on my test site, but alas, no more.

Suggestions?

I'm wondering if I even have the latest version, need to look at that again I think. hehe

[EDIT: Nope, have 5.2, will upgrade and see if that helps. tells you how long I've been in dev mode on my new board. ]

Ok finally did the upgrade to 5.3.. Still no Short Stats listing for Max Online.

I'm stumped.

The only thing I can think of is maybe I goofed up the table for IIPCache somehow... No idea.

Suggestions anyone??

Do you have something like phpMyAdmin.

If you wanted to get agressive...
I would try dropping the IIPCache table...then open the IIP config and run the step to create the table. Maybe that'll get it back on track.

I do have that, but I have something a tad easier to use.

MySQL Control Center. Since my server is right next to my desktop, I use this handy GUI to manage the database tables.

I thought about doing that, dropping the table. I'll give it a shot and see if it works. I was concerned if it would edit any other tables.

Perhaps I should try a clean install... Lots of thoughts this morning. Too bad I have to work.

Will look at it again tonight.

Yeha, I don't think you can hurt anything just by dropping that IIPcache table. I've done it when I was having trouble once. I got hosed up once from running a BETA of IIP then I upgraded and something had changed.

Didn't work.

Wiped out the pals directory. Dropped the table... still nothing. *sigh*

Figured I'd try a clean install by dropping the Pals directory. When I tried to run the modify db option it gave me an error saying it had already been done.

I did pop in and look at the tables and it had created the table AND populated it. Dunno why I got that error.

Any other suggestions?

Do you guys have the Who's Online pal box enabled? If you don't then the Max Online will not refresh.
