Compatibility IP.Board 3.4.X Possibly IP.Board 3.2 and 3.3, but not sure. This skin edit WILL BREAK with IPS Suite 4.0. This tutorial will show you how to set custom forum icons without the need for a modification like Forum Icons. This is a very simple skin edit and can be done by anyone. Getting Started: In your AdminCP, navigate to Look & Feel > Manage Skin Sets & Templates > Your Skin. In the templates section, under Board Index, you'll see a file called boardIndexTemplate. Click this. Select all the code in the file and completely remove it. Replace all the code with this: The settings needed to setup the forum icons have already been done for you. There are some additional options at the top of the file. If you would like to use those too, feel free to do so. Setting it Up: Now, in your FTP client, navigate to /public/style_images/Your_Skin Create a new directory called "forum_images". On your forum, open up the forum you want to apply the icon to. Look at the URL. There will be a number, for example: forum.com/forum/2-announcements-and-updates/ You will be looking for "2" or whatever number is there (it changes per forum since every forum has a unique ID). Get the image you want to set as a forum icon (NOTE: The image must be 32x32, no larger). In your FTP client, navigate to /public/style_images/Your_Skin/forum_images. Upload the image you want to set as a forum icon to this directory. In this case, we would need to name the file "2.png" because the forum ID is 2. The picture must be in PNG format and the name must be whatever number the forum ID is (number). You're done. Refresh the page to see the icon. If the icon does not show up immediately, do a hard refresh or clear your cache. The instructions for this vary by what browser you're using. If you have any questions, concerns, or need some help, please make a post in this topic. Please note that this code has NOT been adapted for the IPB mobile skin, and never will be adapted for the mobile skin. Please see my post for more info.

Hello guys, today I just wanted to share to nice tutorial on how to host a simple teamspeak server on Ubuntu Linux 64x. To start off you are going to need to have a unmanaged vps, with Ubuntu 14.x and up. 1. Login to root for your server. 2. Now download the server files needed to run the teamspeak 3 server. http://ftp.4players.de/pub/hosted/ts3/releases/3.0.10.3/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.10.3.tar.gz (IDK if the bbc hide works on these forums) 4. Now you want to extract the files using the tar extract command. tar xzf teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.10.3.tar.gz 5. Once you have extracted the files, you can get rid of the tar files as you already have it extracted. rm teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-3.0.10.3.tar.gz 6. Now you want to create a user with no login to boot the ts3 server. sudo adduser --disabled-login teamspeak3 7. Now you want to move all the config and binaries to the local area of the new user. sudo mv teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64 /usr/local/teamspeak3 8. Now you want to give ownership of the files to the ts3 user now. sudo chown -R teamspeak3 /usr/local/teamspeak3 9. Now you want to create a symlink with the init script so that your ts3 server starts on vps reboot or bootup. [code[sudo ln -s /usr/local/teamspeak3/ts3server_startscript.sh /etc/init.d/teamspeak3 10. Now you want to start the process of the startup of the ts3 server. sudo update-rc.d teamspeak3 defaults sudo service teamspeak3 start 11. Now you want to copy the code displayed as "serveradmin" password="%" because you will you need this to promote yourself to administrator. ~~~~Hope you guys liked the small TuT, If you liked it, please let me know by approving this post.

Mm, I'll try downloading that again and seeing if I can get it to work, if it still doesn't work I'll reply to this topic. I might be a few hours just so you guys know. Works a treat - thanks a bunch!

Users who have the hook installed with their IPB 3.4.x package, may have noticed an oddity with their View New Content page (something similar to the image below): If you are experiencing this issue, it is caused by the aforementioned hook. You'll need to make one small edit and you'll be all set. Navigate to: <Your IPB Root>/Hooks/tbGfSkinSearch_xxxxx.php [*]The "xxxxx" substitutes the string of random characters attached to your file. Find this line: $data['last_poster'] = $data['last_poster_id'] ? IPSMember::makeProfileLink( TBGroupFormat::makeNameFormatted( $data, $data['last_poster_name'], $data['last_poster_group'], 'last_poster_id' ), $data['last_poster_id'], $data['seo_last_name'] ) : $this->settings['guest_name_pre'] . $data['last_poster_name'] . $this->settings['guest_name_suf']; ... and replace it with this: /*$data['last_poster'] = $data['last_poster_id'] ? IPSMember::makeProfileLink( TBGroupFormat::makeNameFormatted( $data, $data['last_poster_name'], $data['last_poster_group'], 'last_poster_id' ), $data['last_poster_id'], $data['seo_last_name'] ) : $this->settings['guest_name_pre'] . $data['last_poster_name'] . $this->settings['guest_name_suf'];*/ Save your edit, and refresh your page -- fixed! I strongly recommend downloading a copy of the file, making the edit, and then re-uploading it to avoid any issues with the upload. Editing the file inside of FTP programs such as Filezilla is not always efficient. [*]Credits to Paradiizee for working with me to find a fix for this. Be sure to thank him! [*]Please Note: This is only a temporary fix until the hook's original author makes the appropriate updates for full 3.4.x support.
