CUSTOMIZATION - How To Customize Some IP Basics
How To Customize Some Icy Phoenix Basics This guide will help you customize a few Icy Phoenix basics. How do I change the site logo in my website banner? What is a favicon and how do I change mine? How do I change the sender of the "Welcome" private message? How do I change my website keywords, description, and various other information? How do I change the site logo in my website banner? You can change the site logo in your website banner by replacing the current graphic with your own. Depending on your template title, this is the path you would upload your new logo: /templates/YOUR_STYLE/images/YOUR_STYLE_IMG_FOLDER/sitelogo_small.png If you are simply replacing the default sitelogo_small.png graphic, you should make sure your logo is of the same filetype. Notice the current filetype is .png. If you wish to change the logo to a different filetype such .gif, .jpg, .PNG, .bmp, etc., open: ip_root/templates/default/default.cfg. FIND: Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select] Code: [Download] [Show] $images['sitelogo'] = $current_template_images . 'sitelogo_small.png'; CHANGE: (change the logo name to your logo name) Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select] Code: [Download] [Show] sitelogo_small.png What is a favicon and how do I change mine? A favicon is a website icon that is displayed in a website's address bar. This is a favorite of many webmasters because when their website is set as a favorite or bookmarked, their favicon will appear next to the bookmark name in a browser's bookmarks. This allows visitors to easily find the bookmarked website they want to visit. Many webmasters use standard or animated favicons. If you don't already have a favicon, you can create a small, usually 16x16 icon in programs such as Microsoft Paint or Adobe Photoshop. The favicon can be saved in .ico if you have the plugin for it in Adobe Photoshop. If you don't have Adobe Photoshop, you can still create your favicon using Microsoft Paint. Once you have created your .jpg, .gif, .png icon, you can convert it to an .ico file here. Rename the file, if it hasn't been done already, to favicon.ico. Make sure it keeps the .ico file extension. Upload this image to ip_root/images/. Overwrite the old favicon.ico file already on your server. You should now clear your website cache and close all browser windows. The new favicon should now be seen when visiting your website. How do I change the sender of the "Welcome" private message? If you have access to the website database, run this query: Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select] Code: [Download] [Show] UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = '2' WHERE config_name = 'main_admin_id'; Be sure to change the number 2 with the user ID of the account you wish for it to be sent from. How do I change my website keywords, description, and various other information? OPEN: ip_root/language/YOUR_LANGUAGE/lang_main_settings.php. Feel free to change anything in this file!

Just to clarify one thing... In constants.php you should also edit this line: Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select] Code: [Download] [Show] define('FOUNDER_ID', '2');

Re: [RC][DOC] How To Customize Some IP Basics
The instructions weren't complete. I If you want to add things to the hp://*.freakybehavior.com/forum/ complete banner at the top, how do you do that? I found the "top_header.png" and it repeats. But I want to change the middle part of the banner to read What's your Freak Song?TM at the top. In this example, where the blue part of the banner at the top of the screen is located. How can I do that? When I made a banner, the dimensions would only be 262x120. When I made it that size, it repeated. I changed the stylesheet to "no-repeat" and that didn't change anything. HELP!!!

Re: [DOC] How To Customize Some IP Basics
If we´re talking about IP 1.3.0.53 this is wrong Code: [Download] [Hide] Code: [Download] [Show] UPDATE phpbb_config SET config_value = '2' WHERE config_name = 'main_admin_id'; it should be Code: [Download] [Hide] Code: [Download] [Show] UPDATE ip_config SET config_value = '2' WHERE config_name = 'main_admin_id';

That depends what your table prefix is. Maybe it's not phpBB_ or ip_...maybe it's lolwtf_...

Re: CUSTOMIZATION - How To Customize Some IP Basics
I guess the reason is that you are not using UTF-8 encoding and your lang files are not encoding using UTF-8. First thing can be changed in lang_main_settings.php, second thing requires you to use an enhanced text editor, like the free PSPad for example (then you have to change your file encoding.).

Re: CUSTOMIZATION - How To Customize Some IP Basics
Code: [Download] [Hide] Code: [Download] [Show] <?php function encodeDir($dirname) { if( !is_dir( $dirname ) ) { throw new InvalidArgumentException( 'The path `' . $dirname . '` is not existing' ); } $dir = @opendir( $dirname ); if( !$dir ) { throw new InvalidArgumentException( 'The path `' . $dirname . '` cannot be opened' ); } while( ( $file = @readdir( $dir ) ) !== false ) { if( $file != '.' && $file != '..' ) { if( is_dir( $dirname . $file ) ) { encodeDir( $dirname . $file ); } else { $content = file_get_contents( $dirname . $file ); file_put_contents( $dirname . $file, utf8_encode( $contents ) ); } } } @closedir( $dir ); } encodeDir( '/' ); Recursive utf8-encode function :).

Thank you for response, but when I translate other lang files in notepad++ they appear correct The only problem is with main settings.. And when I paste russian text in smiley sreator it do not show letters correct too Informpro, should I paste this somewhere?

Re: CUSTOMIZATION - How To Customize Some IP Basics
Which encoding you have for your current DB? UTF-8? Smiley creator uses fonts and GD lib... not all fonts have russian chars and not all GD Libraries versions support TTF. I think that the only thing you can do is edit the core code by adding a Russian capable font to output the text.

Re: CUSTOMIZATION - How To Customize Some IP Basics
Open includes/usercp_register.php and replace the user_id in this line: Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select] Code: [Download] [Show] $privmsg_sender = $founder_id;

Re: CUSTOMIZATION - How To Customize Some IP Basics
Thanks Luca edit sorry for my ignorant if ID user is 300 then the correct syntax is Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select] Code: [Download] [Show] $privmsg_sender = 0_id; ??
