I have like 0 knowledge of php, so uhh maybe hacker can do it for me? He said b4 that he aint doin nehting for me ne more, but this is getting insane now, i tried so many things, and nothing worked out.

edit: OMG OMG i wasted my 1 and only name clor thingy, i accidently clicked use becuase i was trying to see if you could put in your own code, and then i pressed enter, but it made the item go into use, ahh ill have to use the ibstore on MY forum to actualy USE it properly when i can edit my mistakes :angry:

sounds like you have over used Hacker help

you can try going to the invision power board code support forum, They might be able to help you there

if I tell you were Xfir is, Are you going to start asking him a lot of questions about your forum?
because I don't think he is in the mood to be bothered by a lot of forum, php questions.

This is very simple.

Once the IBStore mod is installed, or any other mod for that matter it needs to be added to any skins you have on your forum so that people can acess it.

Just add it to your skins and people can use it.

Have fun

First piece of help

How do i add it to the skin though?

And i wouldn't bother xfir too much, just about a question a week :lol:

You need to edit the skin file or files. Not sure.

op2rules · « **Reply #11 on:** February 22, 2006, 03:33:25 PM »

anyone else know?

Leviathan · « **Reply #12 on:** February 22, 2006, 03:35:42 PM »

I just gave you the answer. Go investigate how you need to do it. The IBStore readme would be a good start...

Indeed.

IPBStore is quite a b****. I suggest not using it at all. I'm highly knowledgable in PHP and MySQL, and I had to actually contemplate installation of it a while ago. It's not for the faint of heart. However this was several versions ago.

I digress, How big is your forum (users?), Unless you've got a bunch of people requesting it, and a lot of traffic, I just suggest not using it.

Panda he wants to use fun stuff like this

He just dosent know how half the time and wants other people to do to it for him

But he will learn.

op2rules · « **Reply #15 on:** February 22, 2006, 06:11:59 PM »

I didn't get a readme file, i searched EVERYWHERE and found nothing. Can't someone just tell me what to do?

Leviathan · « **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2006, 01:58:09 AM »

You have to edit the skin source files.

op2rules · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2006, 08:24:40 AM »

OHH ok, so from what i gather since the start:

IBStore won't work because of the skin files.
I need to edit the skin files.
I have to edit the skin source files.

alrighty then, what do i have to edit?

Mez · « **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2006, 06:16:52 PM »

I'd google that answer, perhaps the IPB ib store mode forums, but i have no idea where they would be.

The OPU team as a whole are not going to help you with issues that you obviously have no clue how to do or use. You your-self have stated that you have no PHP knowledge. But to edit skin files, you will need PHP knowledge.

My suggestion is that you first try to learn PHP, or at least how to edit pre-written PHP code. I am currently using http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php
to help me learn my first PHP webpage coding.

We will offer help to problems that you may come across e.g. I want to do <this> i have tried this <method>, using this <code>, its not working, ive tried to edit <this> and <this2> any ideas.
Those kind of problems we might choose to help you with.

We will not help with "What do i need to edit in skin files" We always suggest google, and if the answers you geta re too complex for you to understand, then you need to step back and learn more PHP code first, so that you do understand

Note that we wont help you with the syntax of commands either, they can easily be found on google, or with a bit of trial and error.

I believe all the modifications you need to do are in the install HTML file that comes with IBStore. It will say to edit something in /Skin/s#/skin_global.php I think, you need to do that. It doesn't automatically show the link for you.
