Is there a list of supported browsers for 4.x? I have a user who claims to have cleared their cache, but the screenshots they sent imply they have not. They are using IE9. Thanks

Is it possible to set which types of attachments a group can upload? For instance, I want Admins and Mods to be able to upload ANY type of attachments, but I want Members to only be able to attach and upload images (png, jpg, gif, bmp). The way it is now, it's a global setting. If I set attachment types to images only, it applies to EVERY group. Now Admins and Mods can't upload any file other than images. I would think this is an option and I am just not seeing it. I've searched long and hard but can't find a setting for this.

Hi. We will be moving the DNS for our Wordpress frontend ftom Hostgator to another hosting company. They won't let us install IP Board - so what i'm trying to find out is - is it possible to still run the board from the server it's on with the domain name still attached? eg website.com for the Wordpress side - then website.com/boards for the Invision end - on deifferent hosting. Sorry if this seems an obvious question...

I have a custom field that is suppose to have negative and positive numbers. I have setup the custom field with the type as number. However, the record input form only has the ability to enter positive numbers. If I manually enter a negative number I get a message saying to check the field for an error. Any ideas on how to best record negative numbers? I want to do some calculations on these numbers using php in a template. I also want to sort by these numerical values. The range of the numbers will be -100 to 1000 or more. Should it be possible to enter negative numbers into a number custom field? Is this a bug in the IPS software? If the number field is not th…

Hi I'm trying to create an additional way for people to login using the "External Data" base under "Login Handlers" I filled out everything correct and matched it to the data base but now I am getting this error message. IPS\Db\Exception: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 (1064) What I don't understand is if the problem is in IPB4 or something in the Actually MYSQL data base that i'm trying to reference. Any insight? I feel like I'm really close and this shouldn't be that hard.

Hi folks, I run a forum for militaria collectors, and I use a military rank structure for members. Validating members are recruits, then when they join they rise through the ranks according to posts. I've set each rank as it's own group. That way worked better for me. Private/Lance Corporal/Corporal etc. They stop at a certain rank, to progress beyond that they have to pay a subscription, and above that it's admins only. What my issue is that I wanted to use secondary groups, so in effect I could lump all the ranks into 4 groups of ranks as it were. So, Private/Lance Corporal/Corporal etc. would be part of OTHER RANKS secondary group. 2n…

I'm a noob when it comes to stuff like this. I know the id of the field, I just need to check if it's set to yes. This is what I've come up with, which I doubt is right. {{if $pf=$member->profileFields(pfield_2) == 1}} ... {{endif}}

Hi - I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with an issue that's come up following the last IPB upgrade. Prior to the last update I was able to click the "source" button in a WYSIWYG block, add code to create an embed-container which would allow me to add an iFrame which was responsive to the size of screen that the page was being viewed on. Last Friday I tried to create a page with the exact same code but each time I clicked save, all the styling wass removed and I ended up with an iframe that is tiny and sits in one corner of the page. The code had been using is: <style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.…

When you install IPB 4 you have the option of choosing your primary app such as Forums, Blogs, or Pages. Does anyone know if there's a way to change it without reinstalling the system? I'm quite curious about it as I play around with the software. Edit: As soon as I posted it figured it out. awesome Thanks! To others with same question go to Applications and choose a different app to <star>

I've managed to resolve the majority, as for some reason blocks was deleted - along with widgets duplicated in some of the deleted contents place.

Hello, I've added one of the modules to the top of my forum with the latest activity. However, I'd like to add the function "Go to first unread" as in the forum view. At the moment clicking the link brings you to the first page. Is there a solution to this issue? Before, when using IPB3, I had a plugin with latest activity automatically refreshing.

As it appears that it's not possible to have a computed field in a database (ie a field whose value is calculated based on other fields in the record) so I'm having to look at alternatives. "You could just calculate the value when displaying the record" I hear you say....yes, and it works fine. But I'd like to be able to allow people to sort the record table on these calculated fields. So....option available: use JS on the form which will re-calculate a field when one of the other fields changes. Nice and easy. Problem: included JS in a page doesn't get included when editing a record. I've included a little alert("test"); in a page, and it fires when viewin…

I really need a block/widget/plugin that will pull the latest article(s) from a database category of my choosing to be displayed on the home page. I don't want it to be a list of the article titles and author name. I want it to be the actual article. The Post Feed block is a great example of what I want to achieve, but the only problem is that only works with forums and worse yet, it will display replies to topics. Can somebody help me put together a block that will achieve this?
