Guest Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 this is awesome...I will get it integrated into my site as soon as I have a chance. Thanks for your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 As stated in another thread, this conribution does NOT solve the username/password issue. It does however place the board in an iframe so it can be sommat integrated. Just thought I'd let you guys know. Still, great work and thanks for the contribution. That's what makes OSC so excellent.

Guest Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 as i said in an earlier thread the i am working on the full intergration as we speak it will take a little more time since i have to rewrite some of the core files to make it work i am working as fast as i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emiliano Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 invision is not gpl.. i think that there is a problem with that... cheers emiliano Quote patagonia, argentina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobAnderson Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 (edited) Hi, the iframe solution is nice, but horizontal and vertical scrollbars are a bit of a pain (especially when threads get long). Any thoughts on the feasibility of wrapping the Invision Board within the OSC Header and Footers (I am not too interested in the side columns). This way you could display the forums without scrollbars, yet retain the same look & feel with your site's headers and footers (and perhaps breadcrumbs/navigation tabs, etc). I briefly tried to to this from the Invision Control Panel (Skins & Templates > HTML Templates > Mange HTML > Global HTML Elements > Board Headers), but it doesn't seem to execute php commands in the code, e.g. to include OSC headers. Am I missing something??? Any ideas about this approach appreciated ;-) Edited September 27, 2003 by RobAnderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 yes invision is gpl although they have a commercial release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thome Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 (edited) Any news on the progress of this great mod? I would really like to use osc 2.2MS2 and Invision 1.1.2 and have Invision share osc's database so the user can login one time. Since I have ocs and Invision installed it would be great to see the finished full intergration mod. thanks!! -thom Edited October 17, 2003 by Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Just an update i am curently working on the testing part of the project hopfully it wont be long still dont have a release date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thome Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Thanks for the reply. I'm going to launch my site on Monday so I'm sure it will become more difficult for me to switch over since my users will have to register for the shopping cart account and for the Invision forum account as well. As time goes by this would probably become very difficult to merge eveyones account into just one. can I help you beta test it this week? cheers, -tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agiftcodotcom Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 How did you get the width of the invision board to span the entire site? Being that you have probably installed the file called invision.php, look near the top for <td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <!-- left_navigation //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_left.php'); ?> <!-- left_navigation_eof //--> </table></td> .... erase that entire command. To help you find it, just above it is <!-- body //--> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3"> <tr> Do not erase that, but erase the top code box code. Then look towards the bottom for <td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <!-- right_navigation //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_right.php'); ?> <!-- right_navigation_eof //--> </table></td> .... and erase that entire command. Just above it you will see... <!-- body_text_eof //--> What that will do is remove your left/right columns. Also, look for <iframe src="./forum/index.php" name="invision" frameborder="0" id="invision"style="possition:absolute; border: 0px; left:0px; top:0px; width:100%; height:1830"></iframe> I don't remember what the width is set for the standard invision.php, but I have mine set at 100%. Unfortunatly the height can not be a percentage, so it will just take playing with until you get rid of the scroll bar and/or the extra white space at the bottom. For me, 1830 was what it took. Once it's set, you should be good to go though, being that your board height will not change unless you add/delete a category. Hope that help. :) Quote Contributions I used : Updated 06-13-04 23:42 ---------------- Vote on My Graphis Poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Thanks a lot ! I like your buttons/headers at http://www.agiftco.com very much. Can i find them somewhere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agiftcodotcom Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Actually, I created them in Adobe Photo Shop Elements. I created a 1 x 15 gradient bar originally for the header background. Then, to use it again for the buttons, I just readjusted the width to 50 (ish). If you have a imaging program, it's not too hard. If you don't let me know what colors you want or the URL of your site and I'll try my best to make them for you.

agiftcodotcom Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 That was a 1 (high) x 15 (wide). I did that so that it would load faster. I don't think the stylesheet.css was originally designed for images, but it's easy to change.... This TD.infoBoxHeading { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; background: #1B939E; color: #ffffff; } Needs to be TD.infoBoxHeading { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; background-image: url(catalog/images/headerbg.jpg); background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: repeat; color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; } Quote Contributions I used : Updated 06-13-04 23:42 ---------------- Vote on My Graphis Poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdamianou Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hi The sound of such a contribution sounds exactly what i would like to have on my store. I have a couple of questions. 1) On the Board, do they use the same username and password as the store? 2) Are you able to set it all up yo do the following. When someone purchases a particular product, tehy are subscribed automatically to a Topic on the board, and only these purchasers are able to see this topi? the above is implimenjted ona site i know. Noone seems to know how to accomplish this. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agiftcodotcom Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 It appears as though the creator of this contribution is working on integrating the login, but has not released anything as of yet. I too would like an addition such as this. As for products being integrated, I have not heard mention of that.

cdamianou Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I have a query regarding this contribution. A) Will cutomers of the site automatically have a loggong for the forum? B) If soemone creates a username for the forum, will they automatically have a logging for the site also? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordeglobal Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Fancy seeing Misspell and Digital here. I was just looking over this thread and I am wondering whatever became of this integration? i was also wondering about the following? 1. Will this be able to deduct from points? 2. Will the items purchased be recorded as part of the member's profile 3. Can they delete the items, update it, etc? The reason I asked is because I have long wanted a shopping cart system that I could use for RPg that does not have all the glitter of the current RPGs offered at Invisionize.

Guest Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I appoligize, I have not given up. I had gotten real busy with my job and just didnt have the time to devote to this project. that is why i had given my source to someone else cause they promised to finish the contribution. why it is not available to download I dont know. they must have taken my source and ran with it. just cant trust anyone these days with open source projects. And yes I did get rid of the iframe. I will try to find it and see what i can do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
