Issues I've Posted

    Calendar block broken on fresh IPB 3.2 install

    Posted 10 Aug 2011

    There is no calendars.php in /admin/applications_addon/ips/calendar/modules_public/calendar/ with the 3.2.0 release of calendar from the client area. That file does exist in the 3.1.4 release of IPB. The portal worked fine for an upgraded forum, went from 3.1.4 -> 3.2, but a fresh install of 3.2 fails.

    Latest news permission logic

    Posted 28 Jul 2009

    Currently logic works by grabbing max posts + 10 and then filtering out based on forum read permissions. This isn't a good way to do it.

    The way it should be done is to first check if the user has read permission on that forum id, and if so, then grab posts from it, and if not, then don't grab posts from it.

    For ex, if latest news is grabbing from forum id 2 and 3, check if user has permission for 2, check if user has permission for 3, and if there are any forums the user has permission in, grab posts. Otherwise, don't do anything and exit out of the function.

    Javascript errors

    Posted 28 Jul 2009

    Love the portal software, but I get a bunch of JS errors in IE (6,7,8) - works fine in FireFox. The errors are as follows:

    Any thoughts on how to fix this?

    Custom Blocks & Custom Content - Limited on HTML

    Posted 24 Jul 2009

    When using custom blocks or custom content, there's already a table, tr, td etc tags so the user's limited on the HTML they can have.

    Fix:

    Instead of using general_block for custom blocks, created a new skin template called custom_block that only contains {$data} and in the 3.0-3.0.1 update script, write code that automatically surrounds old custom blocks with the HTML code needed.

    When adding a new block in v3.0.1, have something like:

    <table class='ipb_table' cellspacing="1">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td class='row2'><!-- This is the default custom block/custom content template. You can either remove this comment tag with your own content to create a simple custom block or you can remove the entire content and have your own formatting--></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
