Invision Power Board 2.0 Final
Update 8/31/2006:
Downloads removed. See this post for information and discussion.
According to numerous sources, this was the last free version of Invision Power Board, after 2.0 PF3.
I haven’t yet tested it, so let me know if there are any problems. Thanks to Triangle for the file.
UPDATE 01/10/06:
This file was changed from its original form. Someone doctored it to add their own google ads on the bottom, via the following command, found in %dir%/sources/classes/class_display.php
$pwd = 'Powered by ';
$g_g = '<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.fr-eu.org/ban_ipb.php">
</script>';
if ( $ibforums->vars['ipb_reg_number'] )
{
$ur = '';
$pwd = '';
if ( $ibforums->vars['ipb_reg_show'] and $ibforums->vars['ipb_reg_name'] )
{
$extra = "<div align='center' class='copyright'>Registered to: ". $ibforums->vars['ipb_reg_name']."</div>";
}
}

$copyright = "<!-- Copyright Information -->\n\n<div align='center' class='copyright'>{$pwd}Invision Power Board{$ur} {$ibforums->version} © ".date("Y")." IPS, Inc.<br /> {$g_g}</div>";
It only shows in IE, which is why it took me awhile to find it. So simply remove the printing of $g_g and it should be right as rain. As far as I can tell, that’s the only difference.
By the way, they should be reported to Google as breaking the TOS for doing that…

johan Said,
January 8, 2006 @ 3:14 am
unfortunately not.
There are two versions of 1.3 and 1.3.x available.
One version was the free version, the same as hosted here.
And the other is the retail version that people downloaded from IPS when they paid for the license, which included the subs’ manager.
It’s the only thing missing from these free versions that people use, but tbh is quite a useful/valuable feature for a community.

You rock!! You just may be the only person who still has IPB 2.0 (and yes, before installing, I checked to make sure IPB 2.0 PF3 was legal, and it is! A legal 2.0 version! I was excited to see 1.3!!!) anyway, I can’t get it to install. Everytime I FTP, then follow all the installation instructions. It tells me the board was installed, and asks me to follow the next link to install the skins/templates. I do that, and it says everything is complete, then it gives the link to go to your board. I click on the link, and a blank screen comes up. Any thoughts?

Do you have the all of the pre-reqs for installing a board?

otherwise if you delete the $g_g line it will not work.

Also, is there meant to be a saying “Trial” in the footer? B’cuz it says unregistered on the admin cp. If the author removed trial from the footer, I guess I’ll have to write trial in.

Hoody Said,
February 6, 2006 @ 2:06 pm
I just found out this. I emailed Invision and I got this responce.
Any version above 1.3.1 requires a license for permanent use. So it would be illegal to use
So I guess I will have to stick to 1.3.1
Unless somebody else can shed some light on the matter
Raybdbomb Said,
February 6, 2006 @ 2:41 pm
Yes, you have to use it for “Trial” use.
P131 Said,

I checked out this file and found out that it was definitely a hacked version. That line, “$g_g” was not supposed to exist. Not to mention, the reference to “Trial” was removed.
I have the original version of the archive backed up on my site. You can download it at this page for the original version of IPB, without the ads. ^_^

P131 Said,
February 23, 2006 @ 10:41 am
The only thing I did was add two files in there coded by myself that gave a guide on what to do if you came up with a familiar installation error that I always had. That’s the only thing I added, because people began to E-Mail me their questions about installing it.
2.0.0 Final is kind of buggy with things, because it was the first real release of IPB 2. For some reason, it has occasional install errors, so I ensured that I addressed the issue with a help file I added.
Everything else has not been modified one bit.
P131 Said,
February 23, 2006 @ 10:44 am
Sorry, I can’t edit any of my posts. I forgot to mention that I have other backups of Invision Power Board as well. I have IPB Pre-Final 1, 1.2, 1.1.2, and the 1.0 series. If you’re interested in running an older Invision Power Board, then I have those old versions archived for your use.
Again, I stress that none of these have been modified. I downloaded them a long time ago from the site and did not tweak the code at all. The only thing I added was a file that gives credit to me and tells you about the legality of the version you downloaded (Invision Power Services’ License Agreement). ^_^
Chaos Said,
February 25, 2006 @ 4:29 pm
Thanks, this rocks!
But, I have a problem. When I install I get these two errors:
Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(../sources/functions.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/xaiver:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/xaiver/public_html/forum/index.php on line 70

Any one know where i can found a version unencoded?
The final and the PR3 are encoded so i cant mod any files
Chaos Said,
February 26, 2006 @ 6:07 pm
Encoded? What does that mean?
Bort Said,
February 26, 2006 @ 7:04 pm
it means that i cant modify any file because its encrypted whit some type of proteccion, and im unable to modify the PHP source. Even if i make the modification and overwrite the original file via FTP, in some way the board keeps the original one.
P131 Said,
February 26, 2006 @ 7:13 pm
@Chaos: I honestly have no idea what that error is. The files I have are the original ones I downloaded from IPB a long time ago, so I have no idea what’s wrong with it. Try installing it again?
@Bort: It shouldn’t work like that. I’m definitely sure you can directly access the file and edit it through http://FTP. The problem is with your board itself. Login to the Admin Control Panel and access the Skins and Templates error. It should have some option where you can Resynchronize the Skins and Templates from PHP files. I’m basing this knowledge on the 1.3 IPB, but it should be relatively similar in the case of 2.0.0 Final. Look for an option to resyncronize the skins that are automatically cached in your mysql database from the php files that you edited through ftp on your server. That’s probably where the error is coming from. If that doens’t work, get a different ftp client. You should be allowed to access just about any file and edit it to your heart’s content.
Chaos Said,
February 26, 2006 @ 8:45 pm
Oh yeah I’ve got it going now. I even found some extremepixel skins - all of them! But, shh.
Bort Said,
February 26, 2006 @ 9:21 pm
I dont really get the Templates thing, so here goes the explanation of my error. I was trying tho install a modification for flood control in a IPB Trial 2.0.0. forum. I moded the original files whit a text program (ConTEXT) and after that i overwrited the files in my host whit the new ones using a ftp client.
I realise that the mod was not working so i chequed the files in my host and the original php files (topics.php is one of those) was still there, not the moded ones. So i deleted the original and uploaded the moded one whit my ftp client and the same, the old one whitout the modificatios was there, so i chmod all the files (777), deleted the original ones and uploaded the moded ones, but now via my host, and again dont allow me to keep the new files.
So i decide to edit the files via host but i get this when i open the files in the online editor provided by my host (i can see and edit the code perfectly in ConTEXT):
http://aztec-clan.com/bortfiles/error.gif
Also i found this on one site:
“If your site is hosted by a company that does not grant you access to these files (such as most free forum hosts), or the files are encrypted (if you are using Invision’s 2.0 trial version, for example), then you will be unable to install any mods.”
But also i found in another site that was a IPB 2.0.0 Final Trial (up in the Invision site for like 3 days) that was not encoded (encrypted) so you was able to install mods to that version.
Hope you understand, my english sucks
P131 Said,
February 27, 2006 @ 8:42 pm
I don’t think that the one I downloaded was encoded or anything. I remember that Invision enabled the IPB 2.0.0 Final Trial for about four or so days, and then they took it down quickly. I had signed up for their Forum updates so that it would update me whenever they released a new version, so I downloaded it two days after it came out.
Wednesday, I’m going to try and install it and see if I can modify it. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
P131 Said,
March 1, 2006 @ 9:17 pm
Well, I installed it and tried it out. It works perfectly fine. There must be a problem with your web server or something if it won’t let you edit the files. I honestly don’t know why you’re having problems with this issue. Try to downgrade to version 1.3 instead. That’s my favorite of them all.
Bort Said,
March 2, 2006 @ 10:05 am
ok, thx for the test
what are the principal diferences between the 2.0 and the 1.3 versions?
robert Said,
March 28, 2006 @ 12:22 am
Not a great deal different between 1.3.x and 2.0.x, and most can be achieved through adding of mods.
Has anyone got any idea where can get teh retail version of 1.3.x?I could really do with the subscriptions manager for my forum.
GreatEmerald Said,
March 28, 2006 @ 10:40 am
Should on “View General Settings -> System Configuration Settings” below the line “Stop Quote Embedding?” be the “..” link, or did someone change it?!
P131 Said,
March 31, 2006 @ 9:27 pm
I don’t believe you need a “retail” version. I suppose you can just buy a license and ask Invision Power Services if they can give you the subscriptions manager.
Honestly, the features in 2.0.0 Final are greater than 1.3.1 Final. The mods that you find for 1.3.1 emulate the features in 2.0.0. The only problem I have is that I started out with 1.3.1 and I want to upgrade. I’m going to have to rebuild my skin so it is compatible with 2.0.0. Also, I have to heavily reconstruct a major modification that was added to my Forum. I optimized it so that it would further suit my designs, so I’ll have to emulate the changes onto the 2.0.0 board.
I digress. If you’re looking for modifications (although I don’t particularly recommend them, since they might conflict with each other or mess up areas of your Forum), you can try Invisionize.com. They have everything there.
My final point is this: why use a 1.3.1 Final board that is heavily modified when you can use a 2.0.0 Final board, which already has those features and is perfectly stable? If you’re starting out with a new IPB, stick to 2.0.0 Final. Believe me - it’s worth it.
Sharmaine Said,
April 11, 2006 @ 9:13 pm
I ask people on the invisionize forum board admins and they say this is illegal…… Unless it was directly downloaded from the invision board site. They will fine you for this. I don’t know about version 1.3 but u can’t upload the file onto your site and let it to be download by other people. They need to buy the license. Buy the license like what P131 said its worth it. Trust me it is. Buy the life time license. I would also recomend Vbulletin. That and IPB is the best for me.
Raybdbomb Said,

Before I use this I want the final conclusion, is it legal?
Also I found inside the index.php (in root folder)
+—————————————————————————
| INVISION POWER BOARD IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE!
| http://www.invisionboard.com/?license
+—————————————————————————
What’s that supposed to mean?
Well, is it legal, or should I stick with 1.3?
P131 Said,
May 2, 2006 @ 7:47 pm
There are no restrictions to using IPB 2.0.0 Final. It’s completely free in every way. They never specified how long you can use it, so you can use it as much and however long you want. They only introduced the non-free versions with the introduction of IPB 2.0.1.
If you have the money to buy an IPB license, I strongly suggest you do. The newer versions not only have greater features, but also stronger security. If you don’t have the money, stick with IPB 2.0.0 Final.

Ok, since a few people are confused how to removed the Google ads that someone hacked into this version of IPB, here’s what you do:
Open /sources/classes/class_display.php
Find the following:
$copyright = “nn{$pwd}Invision Power Board{$ur} {$ibforums->version} © “.date(”Y”).” IPS, Inc. {$g_g}”;
Remove the {$g_g} part.
It is also reccomended that you remove this, located at the top of the same file:
$g_g = ‘
’;
Hope that helps!

Not sure if you have alternative hosting arrangements for this version, but if not, filefactory.com are pretty good. Used them several times. You upload (assuming you’ll have zipped 2.0.0 up) the zip and it’ll give you a download link, which you can then post for everyone else to download…

If you download straight from the customer download manager, it will still say “(trial)” in the footer, but there will be no limitations. To register, you have to go through your admin control panel, expand the “system settings” section, and click “IPB License”. From there, you can modify your license info, and it will no longer say (trial) in your footer.

Quote from Matt from the Invision Forums
“Those boards were downloaded and installed under the old license which allowed one to evaluate the board indefinitely.
There is no “hard” limit on what the board can do as it is, to all intents and purposes a fully functioning board. The license states that if they decide to use IPB they must purchase a license.”

Although I have my regrets. I am going to download this :/ but remember not to use any Paid Services like IPS Chat, etc. (Which I never use anyway)
I should make it so it says either ( U ) at the bottom or (Trial)

Sorry, I forgot to check here
Well about the mail, the server isn’t mine, it’s hosted on byethost.com. So I should contact them for this issue? And my board doesn’t show “Trial” too, but I rebember it showing it before! I think it has somthing to do with the g_g… Or maybe not… Budman84, you can get 2.0.1+ through P2P networks, but they are ILLEGAL, and your board will get banned easily. And Evo, do you think it’s illegal to download? If it is now, I’m happy that I downloaded it before! But I don’t think so. Raybdbomb, if it’s legal, then how come the “subscription manager” links to this:
“Not Found
The requested URL /ipb/subs/redirect_acp.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. “

I’d use the obione’s version of the file, but as I know, this replying deletes or changes some text, so could you, obione, send that file to me or someone?
GreatEmerald Said,
June 26, 2006 @ 5:21 am
Ooo, I can’t edit, and I forgot this: from where did you, raybdbomb, get those files? As I think that they were modified. I’d happily use the trial, if obione didn’t see anything bad there. Oh, and good update to this posting system, raybdbomb!

interesting site you have got here.. it saved me the trouble of scanning for hours to find a copy of 2.0.0 at least! I have noticed someone say that v2.0.1 comes under the new licence and that by law you have to have payed for a licence to use it? Well i have been scanning the official IPS forums and came across this post: “http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=150100″, which actually allows you to FREELY download the file which is what the 2.0.1 security fix is based upon. The only other files (apart from that login.php) to be updated where index.php and admin.php, to reflect the upgraded version number. If this file is freely downloadable from the IPS site, then surely that would suggest that 2.0.1 must be under the same licence as 2.0.0.
According to this post: “http://raybdbomb.com/p/invision-power-board-131.html/comment-page-2/#comment-1782″, v2.0.1 comes under the “newer” licence, yet the file that upgrades 2.0.1 can be downloaded for free?
as far as i see it, 2.0.1 is just as free as 2.0.0!

Sorry to break this up but…
[b]Quoted Ryan from Invision Power Services[/b]
To wrap this up…
If you downloaded the trial version prior to IPS halting it’s release it is legal to use on a trial basis. In the event that you decide to use the software full time, therfore no longer being a trial, you are required to purchase a full license.
If the software was downloaded from a source other then IPS it is illegal to install and use.
If you have any further questions please contact us so that we may assist you further.[/quote]

Bungle, thanks for the login.php, if I can use it. And yes, it may be illegal to use. And IPS doesn’t allow downloads now…

I don’t get it, I don’t get it! In %dir%/sources/classes/class_display.php, that text just disappeared! Why? Or is it my FTP client’s fault?
GreatEmerald Said,
July 8, 2006 @ 5:47 am
It was my host server’s fault. Anyway, I’ve just realized - the subscription manager links to customer.invisionpower.com, which isn’t this forum’s fault!

This document outlines the various license changes between IPB 1.3 and IPB 2.0.3
IPB 1.3.0
Invision Power Board 1.3(.0) was released under the very old license which allowed full use indefintely without a purchased license. You can use this version without support indefinitely but there are some well publicised security vulnerabilities which have been fixed in later versions.
IPB 1.3.1
Invision Power Board 1.3.1 was released under the old ‘trial’ license which allowed full use without a purchased license for evaluation purposes. Although no time limit was imposed for the evaluation period, it was accepted that permanent use requires a purchased license.
IPB 2.0.0
Invision Power Board 2.0.0 was released under the same license as IPB 1.3.1.
IPB 2.0.1 to IPB 2.1.0
These versions of Invision Power Board require a purchased license to run. An encoded trial version is available with hard-coded limits.
Remember, regardless of IPB version you are not allowed to redistribute part, or all of Invision Power Board.[/quote]
