For the third time in as many weeks I've discovered that IP.Board is causing problems with MySQL. When I go in and look client connections to MySQL I see a backlog of requests that look like this one: -- Connection Id: 208197222 -- User: username -- Host: localhost -- DB: databasename -- Command: Execute -- Time: 3206 -- State: Sending data /*IPS\Session\Store\_Database::getOnlineUsers:79*/ SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `core_sessions` WHERE ( core_sessions.id IN(SELECT MAX(id) FROM `core_sessions` AS `s` WHERE s.running_time>1572865467 AND s.login_type!=3 AND s.login_type!=1 AND s.member_id IS NOT NULL GROUP BY `member_id`) OR core_sessions.id IN(SELECT MAX(…

Anyone else experiencing this? Create a "Promoted item" for a forum post. THEN "Our Picks" page (https://domainname.com/ourpicks/) link works fine, i.e. https://domainname.com/forums/topic/34360-topic-title/?do=findComment&comment=363240 BUT The link for the forum block version of 'Our Picks' doesn't – because instead it points to: https://domainname.com/forums/topic/34360-topic-title/?do=getPrefCommentComment&comment=363240 Which fails, and produces a "Page Not Found", 2S136/B error. n.b. "Promoted Items" widget block works fine for Pages (news items) but not for forum posts. This used to work for forum posts as w…

Hi, I found issue with post which are made via PBR option. Problem on fresh installation of newest version: Guest publish post via PBR form User successfully registered their account Our default user group have options as below so the post is waiting for the approval: Mods (and admins) can not see that post via streams (all actives, unread etc), but they can see it on home page (red icon in category). If the user made an update to the post (even if there was no mod approval yet) it is correctly visible in streams for mods from now. Our mods can see other unaproval post in streams, so the problem is only with first content from PBR. …

Below of Clubs icon contains a space, at least I don't like it, but I don't know if it is the ips design or I did something wrong.

Hi, Don't know if this issue has anything to do with the last update, but it's displeasing to my eye. The group icons in topic view are much bigger than they really are, and consequently they appear blurry. Look for yourself right here. The contributor badge. Copy-paste it into a photo editor, 100% size : Is there a way to give it its real size? Thank you, bros and pros.

I used to run a website powered by Shopify and I placed one piece of Google Ad code within my "Shopify" global template. This automatically enabled google ads to appear across my website. From within my Google Adsense account I was then able to control where ads were placed across my site and easily select which parts of my website pages should not contain adverts. This was the handy part of working with Shopify. Anyway, I've moved on to IPS software and manually setup google ads on all pages etc for example... within my side bar and top / bottom sections of all pages using "Blocks", which so far seems to work okay. However the main part of my website involves upload…

At the top and bottom of my website i've added custom blocks of Google Adsense code. See screenshot below. From this photo you can see the top part of my site where there's a standard sized 728 X 90 google advert. This is just one of googles "standard" sized adverts which isn't responsive. I thought the advert was fine when viewed on larger screens i.e. Desktop PC, until I began viewing my site on my mobile phone and part of the advert when viewed in Portrait mode was cut out! The square ad you see on the right side is a custom block "Responsive" google advert within my side bar and for some reason, these look great on all screen sizes. To try an…

I'm noticing an issue that on our site members who haven't selected "remember me" on login aren't staying logged in. They successfully authenticate, but then end up logged out. How would we troubleshoot what's going on here? I can replicate by going to an incognito window, log in with remember me unselected, and then after typing in 2FA, I'm logged out. If I check "remember me," I stay logged in as expected.

Can someone tell me, or point me towards documentation that tells me how friendly URLs are put together? I'm trying to convert a site that has had friendly URLs switched on for a long time, but I'm trying to enable URL rewrites to kind of finish the job. My current config for NGINX looks like this: location / { index index.php index.html index.htm; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args; root /var/www/ips/; } I thought that might do it, and it works for bits, but not everything. For example the URL http://example.com/forums/ gets translated correctly to http://example.com/index.php?/forums/ which works, but a topic U…

Hi there, Currently we have the configuration below. The issue our moderators are questioning is this. If we give a user his second warning, he will be restricted from posting for 7 days. If, however, within this period we give him another warning (his third, in this case), the system doesn't add the remaining number of days from the previous warning to the new number of days. For instance, if the user gets his second warning today, and later today he gets his third point, he will be restricted from posting for 15 days instead of 22 days (7 days from the second point + 15 days from the third point). Is this the intended behavior? Is the…

Happy New Year everyone. I've been wondering this for a long time, and I have searched here but I haven't found any conclusive answers. I've been pondering about using Pages to commission someone to make a directory, and for that I would like to pull fields from the members' profiles. I understand that's possible. Now, I believe it would impractical to do so, if I wasn't able to create pages with widgets whose default is a random sorting of the entries every time you load the page. So, the simple question is: Can you have Pages with widgets that sort entries randomly as a default? (Even custom widgets, I'm not asking for anything out of the box necessa…

Hello. Is there a way to set some sort of limit on the number of posts users can hide/delete? Privacy is very important for our community and sometimes members might want to remove sensitive things they posted. I would love to give them that opportunity but my previous experience shows that it will be used and abused when they start deleting everything. It would be great if I could set only x% of the total posts to allowed to be deleted/hidden or only x per time frame. Something that would prevent mass deletion of all content. Thank you.

My forum is running on Amazon AWS Elastic Beanstalk. But as you know when you update, you usually deploy the whole local project files as one big file. So, when I change settings on the server(EB), the changes are lost when I deploy a new version. So if it is possible, I would like to kinda download the changed settings(?) to also apply the changes to my local settings. Or if there's any other way please let me know.

A few of our moderators threw an idea at me and also said that it was possible when we were using VB, so I'm asking to see if it's also possible on IPS. Is there any way to block a member who's content currently needs approval (because of multiple warning) from posting in a certain forum/s? We have one forum that is basically just banter, and posting in it is reserved for long(er) time members who abide by the community rules and basically are good guys. So as a penalty for breaking the rules multiple times we'd want to just outright revoke the right to post there. is there any non-manual way to do that? *members who are allowed to post in that forum are obv…

Here is my problem. sitemap generator task for IPS execute this function. ips/system/Sitemap/Sitemap.php:buildNextSitemap() This function has this statement $extension->getFilenames(). which points to applications\cms\extensions\core\Sitemap\Databases.php:getFilenames() But the problem is this function (Databases.php:getFilenames()) never executes (I tried adding breakpoint), and IPS instead returns a old cached result of the function. As soon as I turn on dev mode, this function start executing and uncached result returns. How do I clear all the caching or regenerate the cache so that returned output of the function is latest. IPS version: v4…
