• You type the brackets [ ] with the word color= inside
• Within the brackets after the = sign you add the color you want (EX.1)
• After the bracket ] you type in the text you want to be colored
• At the end of the text you want colored you put another set of brackets like this [/color]

Ex.1 : [color=]
Ex.2 : [color=blue] Hi There, have a nice day
Ex.3 : [color=blue] Hi There, have a nice day [/color]

Which will look like this : Hi There, have a nice day

Not all colors use a word you can also use a color code like so #356217. Just replace the word with the number including the hash tag at front.

A very simple idea and one that is over looked as Twitter has its own widget for people to use. This is the better option as it can be used by multiple skins as you can alter the HTML/CSS to fit your page and not be stuck with the options/colour scheme Twitter give you

Thanks to Marcher Technologies for this little trick

//sidebars code
	

Now that code there needs to be added in a Template or a Block, with the code for your sidebar between it. This will also work if your using the default wrapper from IPS setting.

All this simple check does is see if the mobile skin is being used or not and then removes the sidebar if it is.

Thanks to Marcher Technologies for this wonderful tip

2 > Under "RSS Options" , set "RSS: Enable" to YES.

3> Set "RSS: Forthcoming Days" to the same as you have set for displaying on the board view (Tools / Settings > Calendar And Birthdays) "Show forthcoming events from today to [x] days ahead". It is important that these two match. In my case I have them set both at 14 days.

3 > Back to the calendar settings again and set "RSS: Update Frequency" to 1440 (1 day)

4 > Next set "Permission: Show Events" to make sure Guests can view events. This is needed for the exporter to work properly.

5 > Go back to the main calendar management screen and click on the options to rebuild the calendars RSS export.

6 > Visit your boards index page and click on the orange RSS icon. View the RSS and save the URL for later. This will be something like

http://{Board URL}/forum/index.php?/rss/calendar/1-community-calendar/

8 > Validate your URL feed in the validate box. Make a note of the character set (in my case this was ISO-8859-1)

9 > Next create a new RSS import. Fill in the information putting a description in and the saved URL and character set from earlier. Pick a forum / username for the import too.

10 > Leave the "RSS Import Refresh" at 200 as the events will only be exported daily, x days in advance, depending on what you set. I also chose to set the "RSS Import Topic Prefix" to "[Calendar] " (note the space afterwards)

11 > That's it! Be patient and do not run the calendar RSS cache or the RSS cache tools unnecessarily. It took it 14 days in my case (as that's what the events were set at) to begin to work but it does the job well.

Manage Skin Sets & Templates

Not everyone is able to understand the function of tags and how they can be useful to add to a topic. Adding a small explanation into this area might help.

Login to your Admin Control Panel and navigate to the below area

ACP>Look / Feel>Manage Skin Sets & Templates>(choose skin)> Manage Templates>Other Global Templates>TagTextEntryBox

At the very top of the template before everything else add the following

{$this->settings[ Tags are single words to describe this topic and make searching for it easier.

Save the template to keep the changes.

You would need to do this on every skin you have, some customs skins might need it adding in a different place depending on the complexity of that skin.

define( 'SKIP_UPGRADE_CHECK', 1 );

Then save and upload that file. This will override the code that forces you into the upgrade page, and will let you access the Admin CP normally.

• Your template edits may need to be reverted when upgrading in the future in order to inherit updates in the skin in future releases.
• You will have to determine the logic necessary to show the tab as "lit up" when someone is viewing that page (and to ensure other tabs do not appear to be lit up).
• It is inconvenient repeating this process each time a new page is created.

This is no longer a problem with IP.Content 2.3. You can now visit the "Navigation Menu" page available under the Settings module in the IP.Content ACP area and build tabs through an easy to use interface. You can control what order your tabs display in, and even put them before or in between default application tabs. You can control almost every aspect of the tab from the title, the textual tooltip, any additional non-default attributes (for instance, including a javascript click handler that will log the click in an analytics program) and more. You can even create submenus that will display on click or on hover, including many links underneath one tab.

You can also modify many aspects of your default application tabs as well, going beyond what IP.Board offers by default. For instance, using this tool you can add additional attributes to your application tabs, change the title, and modify the textual tooltip shown when a user hovers over the tab.

The best part about this new feature - IP.Content automatically figures out which tab to light up without any extra work on your part!

We hope this new feature in IP.Content 2.3 helps you better control your site the way you want it to be.
