Was wondering if anyone reading this could install this for me.  You will be paid $50 if it works.  Unfortunately Vince did not reply to my PM and IPB won't even let me explain the issue, they tell me to contact Vince.  I will tell you right off the bat, when I tried to install I got an error message stating: "Cannot initiate the set up class."

If you can help me out of this mess and need some extra cash for the new year, please email me @ michael.a.roman [@] gmail.com

Thanks,
Michael

I PMed you. Never got a PM from you though.

I have tried the edits in my upgraded 3.1.4 board, putting them in the correct place as indicated in previous post - but it doesn´t work - My board doesn´t show and I get a database error.  I really need this to work as my boards sponsors adverts have gone.  Can someone help please.

This is the reply I received from the IPS support team when I asked them about the database problem after doing these edits:

mySQL query error: SELECT pp.*,m.members_display_name, m.members_seo_name FROM ibf_profile_portal pp LEFT JOIN ibf_members m ON ( pp.pp_member_id=m.member_id ) WHERE pp.pp_status <> "" ORDER BY pp.pp_status_update DESC LIMIT 0,4


There is no field in the profile_portal table for pp_status in IPB 3.1.x

That field was removed in IPB 3.1.0

So, you've got an old version of the mod. Or an old version of some modification.

That's not an issue with the custom blocks itself, But with one of the custom blocks. I can guess it's the one that shows the user profiles. If you want me to take a look please PM.

Does anyone know how to make the polls show in the custom forum blocks? still haven't figured it out.

By default you can't it will require some PHP to fetch the polls from the DB.

Is it possible to make 2 layers of blocks on top? I want to do one block that expands across the top, then 2 blocks side by side right below that.

Yes, Just simple HTML can do that.

Hi all
I made all the changes you wrote about but IT DOESN'T WORK WITH 3.14!!!
Please help me!

Here's the code

//-----------------------------------------
// Gather output
//-----------------------------------------

/* (IM) Custom Forum Blocks */
        require_once( IPSLib::getAppDir( 'customBlocks' ) . "/sources/library.php" );
                $this->registry->setClass( 'customBlocks', new customBlocksLibrary( $this->registry ) );
                $this->_html = $this->registry->customBlocks->wrapBoard( $this->_html );

        //$output = $this->outputFormatClass->fetchOutput( $this->_html, $this->_title, $this->_navigation, $this->_documentHeadItems, $this->_jsLoader, $adCodeData );
$output = $this->outputFormatClass->fetchOutput( $output, $this->_title, $this->_navigation, $this->_documentHeadItems, $this->_jsLoader );

$output = $this->templateHooks( $output );


BOARDS

/* (IM) Custom Forum Blocks */
                $show_sidebar = false;

It works on 3.1.x

Probably you've mistaken with the edits. PM with your forum details and i can take a look at it.

So, are you back?  I've got more than a few sites we would like to install this on (3.1.4) if it is now working well and if you are going to be available for questions/support.

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi Vince !!

I would like to buy the mod. Can you tell me if you can install the same for me as I don't want to have any problems after I have purchased the same.

Thanks

board : www.IndiaCentral.in

[Vince]

Yes i can install it for free.

I'm interested in finding out more about the Custom Forum Blocks.  I PM'd you Vince, but haven't heard back.  I hope it's because you are off on a relaxing vacation.

So, I will post here as well and see if anyone has thoughts.

I am looking to create a Custom Forum Block that displays the Recent Posts (not just topic starts) of a specific User Group.
If MemberGroupX posts then update to MemberGroupX Recent Posts Custom Block.

I have a feeling that it is possible taking one of Vince's premade blocks and modifying it to pull the appropriate information.

This is my hope anyway.

Thanks!

what to put in the exclude section to not show a block on the index page?

I'm about to upgrade my board, but need to know if Custom Forum Blocks will work with 3.2.0 ?

Doesn't, at least for me with settings:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method cp_skin_tools::settings_view_row()

Else seems to work, but needs redesign

[wattbulb]

As soon as this Mod supports the new 3.2 version I'll be buying it!

[Dana White]

Hi,

I bought and have just installed your blocks.  They work as advertised although I'd love some instructions on including and excluding pages.  While your explanation makes sense, could use a few examples.  If you can throw me a link to such an instruction or tutorial, it would be appreciated.

Meanwhile, I have two side blocks that no longer work: The Staff Chat (by Invision Modding) and Staff On Line (by citconsultants.com).

Do you have something comparable or perhaps a succestion on creating blocks myself that would do the same thing?

By the way, I'm LOVING the blocks.  I've only just started using them but I can already tell that once I get them going, they'll be of great benefit.

Thanks,
Dana

[Dana White]

One other quick question while I'm asking.

The blocks can be closed by the user.  I noticed that once closed, that setting is 'saved' and when the user comes back, that block resumes the setting that it had when the user left.

Is there any way to force a default of open?  I'm using those blocks for ad space and really want to require users to at least see the blocks when they come on.  As an alternative, can I suppress the ability to close the block?  My preference would be to force each incoming user to see the ads; then they can close if they wish.

Thanks so much.
Dana

I'm confused... I thought you had your own sidebar mod?

http://community.inv...__fromsearch__1

[DawPi]

Yes, but I've done it as custom (private) job for one of my clients.. We can't contact with Vince, so asked me. That's all.

[Dana White]

Hi,

I've just recently installed your custom side blocks.  They're going to be a big boost to my site.  Thanks.

Now, I have a few questions:
1- Can that little arrow that minimizes the blocks be disabled?  I'm going to use that area for paid advertising and don't want users simply bypassing the ads.
2- I lost several of my hooks; staff chat and staff on line.  I see that your custom blocks comes with Recent Topics, do you have add-ons for at least the staff on line block?
Perhaps other hooks that work with your custom blocks.
3- While your explanation for the include/exclude pages is extensive, could you provide a list of formats for those two fields?  I don't have physical access to any of the source files for my site.  The most I get is skinning snippets in look and feel.  If there is a tutorial for those formats, can you throw a link to me?  

Thank you so much,
Dana White
