UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Forum Design Integration Integrated Index Page (IIP) 5.3.1

I had the same thing with newspal and I have been busting my head to find the solution. The problem is on my site - hence I took the newspal off but on the other site that I have it works wonders....

Mysteries of nature... LOL

Yeah, thanks. I'm still pondering the solution.

that doctype is most likely the page served up when there's an error, not necessarily the IIP page itself...

I believe so too.

What Josh has concluded is that IIP is failing at generating the news from very large boards. This has prompted me to redo the news section of 6.0 before I push it out. I'm not working on it at the moment so I can't say for sure when I'll have it done. Maybe before the month is over.

hehe... looking forward to it when you do Dave

Can't wait 'til 6.0!!!! Keep up the excellent work!

Sorry if this has been posted before... normally i don't like posting things unless i know they haven't been answered already - but with almost 40 pages to go through, I just don't really have the time.

Anyway, my question is - is it possible to have IIP show how many total new posts since your last visit? I have my homepage set to the IIP page, and it would be nice to know whether there is any reason to continue on to the main forums or not. Is this functionality already included and I'm just a dumbnut who can't see it?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think that's included, but it wouldn't be difficult to add that into one of the custom boxes. You could do a query to count the number of posts since your "last on" time.

hey Jamin

I would think that would slow a large forum to a crawl, but I may be wrong

Hmm, alrighty then. Thanks for the info.

It would be possible but I'm not sure if the impact on speed would be worth it. One would have to go through the same steps as the forum index uses to calculate the new posts.

Perhaps adding an additional field to the user's table that stored the timestamp related to the user's last viewing of the forum index and then counting the number of new posts, based on their groups, since the last time they viewed the forum index?

This would add an additional query to the ubbthreads.php page for storing the timestamp and only require one query on the index page to calculate the number of new posts. Would this suffice?

Is there anyone else that would be interested in such a feature?

I would, can you click the link for a search page result that would show them in the YASM fashion (with postbits)?

That should be doable. Would the results only display posts made since the forum index was last viewed? This would keep the number of subjects being displayed related to the number of new posts since last viewing the forum index.

Yes, this would be very similiar to how open topic does it

I just did a small modification to IIP so that the time it takes to execute each pal is printed below the pal if ?debugt=1 is added to the url. It made it a lot easier to check which of the pals take a lot of time. If anyone else is interested in this I could release instructions on how to add it.

I already have such a thing in place for 6.0+ but thanks anyway

Actually what I did was set a toggle in the configure panel that will show the time displays to admins only. It was easier than having to add to the url each time.

Maybe someone would like it for 5.3.1?

Oh, that's great! Even more reason to be excited about 6.0. =]

I am currently redoing (well not at the moment) the main include script for IIP 6.0 so that I can allow for the side bar much more easily than the my previous route.

In order to protect the data being generated from outside variable contanimation I have moved everything into classes and/or functions. I'm pretty close to having another project out of the way and will be able to put more time into IIP.



(side note: If I remember correctly when I was using the debug=1 in the query string it would cause problems in the sidebar when being displayed on the right and I had to rename the $debug variable in the send_footer function and modify the ubbt_footer.tmpl to match. This was one of the reasons I moved to a dedicated debugging toggle for IIP. (less editing elsewhere) )

hey any reason why this version is so slow for my site .
www.digital-boneyard.com
takes forever to load
Generated in 17.806 seconds in which 17.554 seconds were spent on a total of 19 queries. Zlib compression disabled

What version were you using prior?

I'm thinking this is a victim of having lots of posts too. You've got hundreds of thousands of posts.

Are you using caching?

There are a variety of tips in the config to gain speed. How are your options set? Do you generally go with the option that's easier on the server?

humm ok I had version 5.1 maybe ? I was running threads 6.1.1 now I'v upgraded to 6.3 & the lastest pals
yes using cache.

edit. I dropped 2 pal box's & enabled zlib

I upgraded from threads 6.2 to 6.3, upgraded to current IIP, and added sidebar. My shout box is erratic, crashing frequently, possibly related to configuring which boxes to show on the sidebar. Clicking on shout produces a "page error" message on the browser. The short stats are not remaining history based but seem to more nearly mirror the actual number on line in real time. I'm not positive this is an error as it may be related to reinstalling sidebar twice.

Cosmetically, I'm curious where the table width is set for the top bar, the one that comes out of the box with the Infopop notation. It is the only bar that is not resizing with the sidebar add on.

Brent

I don't know the answers to the first part -

But the infopop header is in the generic header (Under admin you can edit the generic header).

It's just a placeholder - most people replace it with a custom header of their own - so it uses a preset table percentage.

Thanks, I just needed to change it from the default 95% to 100% as reccommended with the sidebarpal change.

I had 53 "guests" on at once a few days ago (probably spiders) and at the time there were only 3 members online. This ruined my Max Online stat. Right now I have 23 members and 2 guests online, which is more the norm. How can I reset it? Also, is there a way to change it to Max Members Online instead of members AND guests?

Well, I hate to come off sounding stupid, but I'm having trouble with IIP 5.3.1. (Yeah, I finally found the time to upgrade my site, but not without problems.)

I'm upgrading my site to 6.3 and have installed the IIP 5.3.1. I get the link to the admin section, but after I update, I still show the index page as being closed.

The first message I get is this:
Version missmatch! IIP will not work with UBB.threads™ 6.3.

Then, after I go in and update the config (I get no errors) I get the same thing. I see threadsdev is using 5.3.1 with 6.3, yet I can't find where the problem is. None of my search terms are working for me, and this thread has gotten so big it's hard to find anything.

Thanks.

Edit: The link at the bottom of the page does not show a version number, if that helps. It reads:
.: IIP by David Lozier ©2002 :.
I read somewhere about the version number having something to do with this, but I can't find it again.

Another edit: I just noticed that when logged out there is no link at all. I know I saw this somewhere, but where I do not know?

Change the version check in index.php:

if (!stristr($VERSION,"6.2") and !stristr($VERSION,"6.3")) {

Thanks. That did it. I guess I had the 5.3 download and not the 5.3.1 download.

last post have number 38496

hmmm delete 10 000 posts ? i dont bilive this stats
[/]

hmm I`m using shoutbox and every shoot is in MYSQL as difrent posts ?

No matter what I do, everytime I refresh a page that includes the sidebar the random profile changes to a different profile. I had it set to 30 minutes and it has always done this. I didn't pay much attention to it until today.

I changed it to 1,440 minutes and it still changed with every refresh, and it disappeared from the SideBar (it only appeared on the main IIP). So I set it to 720. This made it reappear on the SideBar, but it still changes profiles with every refresh.

I know it holds here at the same profile. So what's the dealie, yo?

Yes, each shout is a post in the shoutboxpal board.

I haven't any idea on this.

The last time I looked at the sidebar script was before Josh even posted it for download. (and that's been a while now)

It does sound like a cache problem though since it's being updated at each page load, if that helps any.

Well yeah, it's a cache problem...but how do I fix it?

And when, oh when, am I going to get my gold bean?

You've got your gold bean... hit refresh. You're probably seeing a cached image.

Do you have the force public option on? I don't think the caching works unless the "force public" option is on for IIP.

It does seem to work correctly here - the profile, but we are using the force public option with IIP.

Yay!! I'm golden!!! Congrats on the Silver!

My force public has always been set to "1"

Its very cool hack...

thanks JustDave

Your welcome

I'm having an issue with the Random Profile Pal. If I set the cache on anything other than 0, the pal will show once, than disapear. My Homepage
