The mod I am rewriting is an upload/download system. In the mod, any board member can upload and/or download.
One of things I wanted to do with was provide as many links as possible to a member's uploads. I noticed that the IPS mods have links in 5 places. There may be more. If there are, let me know. :)

I've been a user of IP.Board since v1.0 [when it was free!], following Matt Mecham away from his previous bulletin board project, when we both became disillusioned with it. Him as a developer, me as an end user!
I own licenses for IP.Board, IP.Downloads, IP.Blog, IP.Gallery and IP.Content, although I'm not using them all at the moment!
I prefer to use my board only with mods that require no source code edits. I have written mods that use both the old '?act=' and '?module=' methods. I've not developed any mods that use the component model.
I tend to be very active on forums when new versions of IP.Board are out for beta test, and/or just after official release. I'm most active on the official peer-to-peer support forums, and customer resources forums, where I have a few [HOWTO] articles published. I was the author of the [unfinished] skinning guide that appeared on the official Invision site for v2.0 of the board, and was a beta tester for IP.Downloads.
I am an IT Project Manager [PRINCE2®] currently working in the Financial Services industry. I'm self-taught in Linux and run a dedicated Linux/Apache/PHP/MySQL server to host over 20 sites, 2 of which use IP.Board.

Starting from Scratch > open_basedir and virtual hosts in PLESK
Posted 28 September 2009
My mod relies on calling a command line executable. I keep this off the main website folder path to protect it.
But this means that the default PHP open_basedir restriction won't let it run.
The normal way of solving this on a LINUX server is to edit /etc/httpd.conf but in my PLESK environment, it's much more complicated.

Starting from Scratch > Hello World! - An IPB.Board 3 mod - Part 4
Posted 05 September 2009
Now that the structure of my application is correct, it's time to 'personalise' it. Instead of just redisplaying the calendar application, I want to replace that with my own skin, my own language, and (of course) my own code.
The function that runs in the hellosec.php file is the function called doExecute. The function that is...

Starting from Scratch > Hello World! - An IPB.Board 3 mod - Part 3
Posted 05 September 2009
That white screen of death points the way for what needs to be done to get this Hello World! application working, and to work quickly so there are no similar problems with dual naming of things. I guess that's one of the problems with copying an existing application and using it as the starting point.

Starting from Scratch > The white screen of death (between part 2 and part 3)

After a few hours rest I've come back to my PC to write the next blog entry about producing the Hello World! application. I switch on my PC and server, load up the IP.Board home page and ...
Nothing. Completely blank white screen, no HTML source generated. :( AdminCP works fine, so what's gone wrong?
I don't remember editing any skin...
