Hello,
I'm currently using the latest version of IPS (4.7.19, I believe), but I have a few questions regarding setup and functionality.
1. Plugin Issues:
I've installed several plugins, such as the free Chat plugin. However, when I add it to the front page, I receive the message:
"This block cannot be shown. This could be because it needs configuration..."
I’m not sure what the issue is or how to resolve it. Several other blocks are showing the same problem. Could you help me troubleshoot this?
2. Displaying Images in Posts:
How can I configure posts to show the first uploaded image (or the featured image) on the left side of each post? Is there a specific setting or plugin for this?
3. Anime Themes/Add-ons:
I'm aiming to turn my site into an anime/manga-themed platform. Currently, I’m using the Nexxe theme (v1.1.2.1) as it’s the best option I’ve found so far. However:
Are there any anime/manga-specific themes or add-ons available that you’d recommend?
I came across an old add-on called MyAnimeList Tag, which supposedly pulls data using the MAL ID. However, I couldn’t find it, and I assume it's outdated. Ideally, I’d like an add-on that allows me to manually edit the information and translate it into my language. Does such a solution exist?
4. IPS Maintenance and Optimization:
Are there any additional steps I need to take after installing IPS? For instance:
Should I set up any specific cron jobs?
I’ve already ensured that I’m using the required PHP version and disabled a few functions that were flagged as errors. Is there anything else I should address?
5. Modernizing the Forum:
Finally, I’d appreciate any suggestions or recommendations on how to modernize my forum into a fully functional anime/manga site. I'm open to hearing about tools, add-ons, themes, or any general advice you may have.
Thank you for your assistance!
