Hi Guys

I am looking for someone who is VERY GOOD at Modding and Coding stuff for IP Board 3.0.2.

I want a couple of things done on my website. And I'm willing to pay for the service.

IF anyone is interested .. please let me know.

Thank You.

Hi

Here is the list:

1) Upgrade my forum to IP Board 3.0.3 without problems.

2) Guidelines Tab is already present at top, but I want it to show up as active when clicked (i.e. Green in Colour)

3) Install the latest version of the Shoutbox and make it functional (i.e. members can make shouts ..etc and I able to ban them and moderate)

4) Custom BBCode buttons that would simply paste some text (which I would choose) into the writing box below them.

5) DMCA link right at the bottom near the Copyright stuff at the bottom

6) Copy Topic option in the Moderator's drop down menu, where the Move Topic is ..etc

7) Adding Katz button to the bottom of the forum.

8) Make the Search only search in Topic Titles by default

That is all I can think of at the moment .. the services would be used regularly cause I always think of things to add :) new payments then of course :) so think of it as a great business partnership :)

Please let me know if you are interested.

If there is anything you are unclear about, please let me know.

Thanks
 
you could do pretty much all of that yourself with no php and little html knowledge if you put a bit of effort into it.
 
That stuff is easy for most webmasters. If your going to start paying for easy stuff then you fcuked in the future when something serious goes wrong. You should really learn how to do that basic stuff. If you can't even add a katz button just sell the site.

EDIT: sorry if that sounds harsh but you should really learn the basics
 
Apart from 2,6,8 i could give you easy instructions how to do the rest here, for free.. its all very simple?

The only thing that would be a bit of work or hard to do is the topic copy option, the rest is pretty much template edits and uploading some files and running the upgrade script.
 
Sounding Harsh is OK, but I didn't like the bad language !

I would greatly appreciate it Deviance if you could help me :)

Thanks
 
Right firstly to upgrade your board make a backup of files and sql incase anything goes wrong (it shouldn't), just upload all the files from the new package, excluding conf_global.php.dist, overwriting the originals... the go to yourforum.com/admin/upgrade/ and run the script there, you may as well upload the new 1.1.1 shoutbox files before running the script and tick the box to upgrade that also....... let me know how you get on and i will cover some more of your requests later on :)

PS: If you don't have the newest files pm me and i will help you out.
 
OK I have my whole www folder backed up, but I don't know how to backup the MySQL Database !

I have already download the files for IP Board 3.0.3 .. are you saying I just transfer them to the www folder and overwrite anything that already exists there (except the conf_global.php)
 
Backup the sql either with phpmyadmin or the built in backup in ipb3...

And yes just over write all the files apart from that one.... I normally turn my board offline in ACP while doing this.
 
How do I get to the built in backup in IPBoard 3.0.2 ?

I don't have phpMyAdmin. I have Direct Admin, when I go to backup management, I don't see anything about backing up the MySQL !!
 
Just type "sql" into the live search in ACP, you will then see SQL Backup, click that..

As for adding a katz button you want to go to Look and Feel, Edit Template/CSS, Global Template.. than scroll to the bottom and add some code like this obviously with your button.. btw i am using a custom skin so it won't look identical..

OK sorry about this, I didn't know I had PhpMyAdmin in there with the Direct Admin !

OK, I now have my MySQL Database backed up as well.

Now I'm going to transfer the files over to the FTP, will let you know how I got on.

Thanks :)
 
Ok, then just run yoursite.com/admin/upgrade/ after you have uploaded the new board/shoutbox files, don't forget to tick the shoutbox app for upgrade when doing this :)
 
I don't currently have a Shoutbox on my forum, why would I tick the upgrade option for the shoutbox app ?

Btw, there isn't a file called conf_global.php, however there is one called conf_global_dist.php

Is that the one I leave out ?

Thanks
 
Ah i assumed you wanted to upgrade your shoutbox to the current one, just install it as directed after then.... and yes the conf global dist....

Youi just need to upload the files, go to manage applications/hooks in ACP, install it, then set opermissions in members, manage groups, and also change any settings in the sysatem settings bit...
 
Thanks to you DEViANCE I am now on IP Board 3.0.3

Now I need to go and get the Shoutbox, but I don't know if the Shoutbox works on IPB 3.0.3 :(
