Hi! With wordpress i can use: // Prevent Direct Access if (defined('DB_NAME')) { echo '... my code'; } i don't have found something similar with ipb, and if i use insert in template i don't know how i can prevent code output if is called via url (no inside ipb). i've try to put in $var instead of echo, but i don't know how i can "echo" this var with insert in wy template. - so, i need to kill code if isn't in ipb, or something like this: myfile.php $var = "myoutput"; in template: {insert="/myfile.php" echo $var;} - ... how i can this? thanks in advance, S.N.

Dear All I would like new members who register on our forum to be required to enter their real name when completing registration. This information would then not be available to anyone other than the Administrators. Is it possible? If it is, simple instructions would be appreciated Many thanks Bill

I am creating a newsletter that will query the database for the last 10 posts. I want to make it look similar to the Activity Stream. I can get Member x replied to Member Y's topic in ____________. When I look in the forums_forums table, all I see if the name_seo. Is the raw name stored somewhere else? Thanks

I have my forum installed at the address: http://www.mydomain.com/forum/ Now I need to make an identical copy, with all my existing settings and code changes to: http://www.mydomain.com/forum-test/ And then I need to change the license key to TESTINSTALL. How would I do this in cPanel? Can I just copy the database & all the files in the /forum/ folder? I assume there would have to be changes made inside the files themselves or the database. Can you help identify the stuff that would have to change like database username, database password, database paths, etc? Thanks!

Hi, Many users are complaining that the editor, especially the one for private messages, are showing up collapsed, so they can't write any messages. I've seen this happening with me as well, but after cleaning temp files, etc., it seems it is working. I would assume that this is an issue with the user's computer, but since there are too many users complaining, I guess it must be something else. We use CloudFlare, and maybe we need to add a rule for not caching that specific script? Thank you in advance. Gabriel.

Hi guys, Migrated to 4.1.5.2 from 3.4.8 and very impressed with the new 4.1.x series. I was able to solve all post-migration issues we were having, except for one. When trying to checkout at our store, we are redirected to a random topic from our forums. I can't figure out why. If you guys could take a look and see it in action and maybe give me some pointers I'd highly appreciate it. We are running nginx, so IPS support department said they can't help us. I am attaching our .conf file. The store is located at: http://forum.clubedohardware.com.br/store/product/1-acesso-vip-1-m%C3%AAs/ Thanks in advance for all help. forum.clubedohardw…

Am I missing something or have categories been removed from blogs? We had a collection of categories we used on our team blog and now we can't access them? Not sure if that's a setting I'm missing or the feature was removed.

In 3.4 you could set everyone's skin to defailt, I don't see that as an option in 4.0? I have a Christmas theme which I would like everyone to see but it'll only work if they never changed their theme before.

I'm putting together a membership system and normal member and Semi new Groups won't have the permissions for changing their profile names without upgrade. In ACP there aren't a disabled or enable button, just a option of X days since joining or X posts that they need to make. What I did, is I set it up for 9999999 days since joined. that's around 3 years (I think) aren't there another way going about this?

I'm struggling with settings to control the size of certain uploaded images. I've found System > Settings > Posting, and set to max 1200px, which appears to work for images added to forum and blog posts. I've found Community > Gallery > Settings, and set to max 1200px, which appears to work for gallery uploads. Is there a similar setting somewhere for user profile pictures? And for blog cover pictures? Thanks

Hi. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this... Purchased the raffle application and have the directions from the vendor and the access to FTP. The issue is where does it go. The vendor file has one folder called 'UPLOAD' which contains three other folders so when transferring the folder via FTP where do you place it since the structure of the folder must stay in tact. Attached screen shot shows the details. Sorry I am lost on this one and I can code too. Maybe I am not as good as I thought. lol Any help would be very much appreciated. Marty

I've got feature plan setup in pages with users with the ability to create their own but these are moderated before shown. The approval email that goes out has a really weird subject heading: <user> has posted __indefart_content_db_lang_su_5 requiring approval. Where can I clean this up?
