I was just browsing the Ips forums and just found that they massively improved the blogs, I must say, wow that is really amazing. If anyone haven’t seen it yet, look below or go straight to IPS’s blog
If you got IP.Blog 1.4.0 could you share your views?
Yeah, it is great, except it totally hoses all of my skins
It hosed my skins alright, the solution is to upload the contents of the blog’s style_images folder, but not to overwrite anything that exists already (or you will mess up your images).
Then you need to upload and overwrite the sole javascript file in (I think) forum_menu_js or something folder.
Then you need to edit the blog_css.css file in the style_images folder for each of your skins (assuming they dont share an image-set) to match the colours used on your skins. If two skins share the same image set, they will also share the same CSS file unless you edit the skins to use CSS files from a different path.
But you can always use 2.3’s skin remapping feature to force the blog to use one particular skin seperate to your forum skins, and with the ability to add themes for your members, you can customise their blog’s appearence.
