Hello. I am new to using IPS. Regarding my skill level, I'm a beginner. I purchased the Envision 4.1.x skin by IPBForo.com. I need screen share tutoring with someone who can patiently show me how to set up and customize my site. I'm looking for a good teacher. I have successfully installed everything. I have made a few edits, but am already encountering dead-ends. The ideal situation is to work with someone initially for a 2 hour tutoring session, and then continue for one session weekly for an extended period of time (perhaps 5 to 7 sessions?). If you can help, please contact me. I greatly appreciate it. My email is alan@alanrobarge.com. Also, you can learn more about me…

I need someone to develop a collapsing menu plugin for our IP content database of car classifieds that we are using. I am ready to pay 100 USD for this feature. Just to be clear, we want the following: 1) Ability to choose on a per-database basis which databases use collapsible menus on the front end. If the database has this feature enabled, the sub-category menu will collapse and only show top level categories initially until you click on them, at which point they will open and show the subcategories. Check attached graphical idea. 2) When this is enabled, you also want the categories collapsed in the node-selector form element (the category selector when…

We have an issue where we are importing an RSS feed of calendar events into a forum as there seems no way to make a post advising of a new calendar event. When we import the RSS feed from the calendar the date of each post is set to the date of the event - not ideal at all. One of the biggest issues with this is that in the activity stream these posts are always at the top due to their date in advance. Does anyone know of an app or similar to be able to change the date of the topic - or some other way around our issue. Thanks!

I am torn between allowing remote images or not. Our community is image heavy, we post images for everything. My biggest concern is by allowing remote images in topics and posts, someday they may delete their remote image account, or wherever the remote image is being served from, and the topic or post looks bad with empty image links now. But, on the other hand, folks like remoting images in from their photo server such as Photobucket and others. What is your opinions on this? Thanks for any feedback.

I understand the status updates permission, but why do people with permission have to enable it? If someone doesn't want to post a status update, they simply will ignore the box to do so. I don't think enabling or disabling it is necessary. Of course the option to do so is fine, but by default it should be on. I've had at least 30 people on my forum message me and ask why they don't have permission to post status updates. All I've been able to do is explain... go to your profile, edit profile, enable, etc...

I added a plugin to my CKEditor that would allow users to embed a HTML5 video into their post using the <video> and <source> tags. The editor, the generated html, and the final result looks fine because I'm an admin and I can post raw html but for normal users only the link appears. How can I allow normal users to post these video/source tags without granting them access to add any html they want? Thanks, JC

As a quick experiment, I dumped the entire globalTemplate content into a custom Page HTML block. I removed all contents from the globalTemplate and inserted the block key. I got this error when viewing the page (as expected): What I'd like to do is simplify editing multiple templates. For example, if I have 10 templates and I want to make a change that affects all templates I have to manually edit each of the 10 templates to get the same results. If I can use Page blocks like include files, that will make editing much simpler. Then all I have to do is edit 1 Page block instead of editing 10 templates. Or is there another, and more practical way of achieving t…

I'm running a hosted IPBoard version v4.1.13.2 -- I would like to enable the blogs module however I want to limit WHO can create a blog to ADMIN and MOD's. I don't want general members creating blogs. I then want everyone including visitors to be able to read the blogs and members comment access. Can't figure it out.... I can see perms on who can access the blogs and see the menu item but at the granular level I want. This to me is fairly basic functionality. Am I just missing something? Thanks!
