EDIT: I have created a custom BBCode for this script so there is no need for installing the script inside of your skin template. Original Post: Hello, Earlier, I showed you how you can make usernames on your forum flash in a "Rainbow" fashion. This tutorial will be very similar, but requires a few extra steps. This does not require "advanced" knowledge, just access to the Look & Feel and Member Groups section of your community's ACP. Let's begin. Firstly, you are going to navigate to ACP > Look & Feel > Your Skin > globalTemplate This piece of code is to be inserted towards the bottom of the script. For example, you could place it just above where you see something relevant to <!-- ::: Footer ::: --> <script> var speed=80 var hex=new Array("00","14","28","3C","50","64","78","8C","A0","B4","C8","DC","F0") var r=1 var g=1 var b=1 var seq=1 function changetext(){ for(i=0;i<document.getElementsByName("Rainbow").length;i++){ var storetext=document.getElementById? document.getElementsByName("Rainbow")[i] : document.all.highlight rainbow="#"+hex[r]+hex[g]+hex[b] storetext.style.color=rainbow } } function change(){ if (seq==6){ b-- if (b==0) seq=1 } if (seq==5){ r++ if (r==12) seq=6 } if (seq==4){ g-- if (g==0) seq=5 } if (seq==3){ b++ if (b==12) seq=4 } if (seq==2){ r-- if (r==0) seq=3 } if (seq==1){ g++ if (g==12) seq=2 } changetext() } function starteffect(){ if (document.all||document.getElementById) flash=setInterval("change()",speed) } starteffect() </script> Now to authorize user groups who can use the Rainbow text. We're now going to navigate withing the ACP to Members > Member Groups > Manage Member Groups This next step you will have to do for each group you want to be able to use this Rainbow text feature. Open the group, click on "Global", look for "Can Post HTML?" and tick the box over to "Yes". Save the group, and repeat as necessary. Since we have enabled it for the user groups, we must permit it on the forums. Let's work our way over to Forums > Manage Forums Again, you must repeat these steps for each forum area you wish to allow the Rainbow feature. Open the forum set you wish to apply the permissions to, and click on the Postable Settings tab. The first option should be "Enable HTML Posting (where allowed)", place the setting over to "Yes". Save the forum set, and repeat as necessary. Finally, we can post with our Rainbow text as an approved user in the appropriate forums. To do so, we're going to start a topic as normal. Once you are at the topic posting screen, look on the right hand side where you should see "Post Options" Tick the box on where you see "Enable HTML?" Place this before the text you wish to add Rainbow to: <span name="Rainbow"> And then place your text. At the end of your text, add this: </span> Things to note: *The rainbow will only show on skins that you add the script to. *It does not matter exactly where you place the script, as long as it is there and does not interrupt other code. *Only usergroups that you allow may use this on allowed forums. *This will only work in the forums you allow, regardless of user permission sets. *This will work wherever HTML is enabled, including signatures and about me.

Did you read this under the line for google analytics??? Are you using the asynchronous code?? If not that may be your problem..

You can always import tables etc.. using PHP and then use a code something like this to display the results: <?php while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { ?> <li> <a href="/forums/index.php?showtopic=<?= $row["tid"] ?>" title="<?= $row["title"] ?>"><?= $row["title"] ?></a> <?php $indexed = $row["last_post"]; $realtime = strftime("%e %b", $indexed); ?> <date>Last post by <?= $row["last_poster_name"] ?> at <?= $realtime ?></date> </li> <?php } ?>

Easiest way would be to use a portal or content. If you don't want to do that and have no programming experience try using

WARNING: THIS DISABLES USE OF THE SHOUTBOX AS IT CONFLICTS WITH THE JQUERY It's not there for no reason -.-

Please create a support topic regarding that. Thanks.

Thanks for another great tutorial TJ. This will come in handy for me.

Hi WebFlake, At the moment, as default on IP.Board, when you send a friend request to another user it is automatically accepted, unless the user has changed this in the profile settings for himself/herself. This tutorial will show you how to set it as default that users have to accept friend requests from other users. There are no built-in options for that in the ACP, so you will need to run a SQL query to change the default setting. It will check the "Allow me to approve members before they're added as a friend" check box for every current member and future members on your site. UPDATE profile_portal SET pp_setting_moderate_friends=1;ALTER TABLE profile_portal CHANGE pp_setting_moderate_friends pp_setting_moderate_friends TINYINT(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1'; Text Tutorial: 1. Go to support > SQL Management > SQL Toolbox 2. Scroll to the bottom and paste the above coding into the box and hit Run Query 3. Query successfully done Picture tutorial: Thanks, Kingy
