Hi all, So I (IPS did most of the work) upgraded my forum yesterday, and I've had a few messages about old broken BBCode. I had quite a few custom codes, and I am just wondering how/if any of you tried to resolve some of the broken formatting. Did you just accept that old posts might look strange or not work as before, or did you run find and replace queries in SQL?

On the page: https://www.invisionpower.com/features/apps#calendar This image: Shows multiple colored items (Green = "Mother's Day"; Violet = "First Practice") on the same calendar? How is this done? Do you have to create a separate calendar for each use of color? If yes, how are they merged to appear in one? I can find the color editor in the Admin CP > Community > Edit Calendar, but that only allows one color. TIA for any help.

Hello, I am experiencing a bug with IPS Community Suite 4.1.8.1 Gallery Application. I've allowed the upload of movies to albums in User Group Permissions and I have successfully uploaded an AVI move to my site, but I am getting a A Plugin is needed to display this content.I was using Firefox and attempted to view it in Google Chrome, with no avail... except a clue to why. Apparently Google Chrome no longer supports plugins.... and yet the Gallery needs the X-MSVideo plugin to work properly. I am wondering if any other suite owners has found a work around and can assist me, since tech support cant. Thanks, Aaron

Suddenly, the forum is giving errors since this morning. Frontpage: [[Template forums/front/index/forumRow is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]] After trying the support feature in the admin cp nothing has changed.

Hello, I would like to translate only phrases that are seen to my community's visitors, I don't want to translate admin CP phrases, but in IPB version 4 all phrases are together, how do I know which one of them are admin CP and which are public? I could use Quick Translating function, but it would take too long and I would need to check all community's functions. In IPB version 3 admin CP and public phrases were separated, so you could translate what you want.

I think the answer might be staring me in the face but I just can't find it. How do I set IP.Contents to be the default page when going to my website? When I installed IPB 4.1.8.1, it gave me the option to set this during the installation, which was great, but I had to start from scratch and install IPB 3.4.9 first then upgrade to IPB 4.1.8.1. When upgrading, I was not given this option. I found a guide but it seems it's only for an IPB 3.4.9 setup because it points to download an index.php file which says is only for IPB 3.4.9. How do I manually do this with IPB 4.1.8.1? TIA!

Hello guys, running IBP 4.1.8.1 and I am having an issue everytime I enable XCache in my settings. I follow the instructions and download the new constants.php file, which I then upload to the root folder of my IPB install. Once I do this, I click the Continue button and I get the Internal Server Error 500 message. The only way to regain access to the system is by uploading the latest constant.php file I had before enabling XCache. XCache is installed on my server, BTW. What could be the issue? PS: I leave the Data Storage Method as File System. Do I need to change it to MySQL Database prior to enabling XCache? I get the following error message in…

Dear IPS, When I had IPS3 pages was pretty easy for me to understand and make a site out of.. But, now that Articles has come around. I am quite confused as many things have changed. and, what I used to be able to do was display a blog on my IPS page that kinda gave my "page" the feel of a wordpress site. and, I have no idea how to recreate that now as many of the things I did back then have completely changed. So, I am wondering has anyone written any tutorials or guides on using the new article system? Thank you! -Austin

I created a few custom DBs and am now populating them for inclusion into some pages on my site. I thought that specifying the number of entries to display would be part of a single page and that if there were more DB entries beyond say the number 25 a second page indicator would be displayed so you can see the remaining DB items. Well, it doesn't seem to work that way. Maybe I am missing a checkbox or configuration step, maybe I need a custom template? Anyway, I need to know if there is a way to present all of the entries, but only say 25 on a single page, much the way the forums work I guess.

Hi, I've created a frontend "Child" theme under the "Default" theme, and make this "Child" theme my frontend default theme. I've only made modifications to this frontend child theme, never touched the "Default" theme. However, I am not too sure why this affects the AdminCP theme. In AdminCP, regardless of which AdminCP theme I chose ("Default" or "Child" theme), the AdminCP seems to pick up the colours of my "Child" theme. I supposed if choosing "Default", it will be the IPS4 default AdminCP look, but it is not. I cleared browser cache and relogin but still the same problem. Any idea why this happens? Thank you in advanced.
