I updated my site with whatever patch was released today. Now messages to gmail accounts aren't going through. It isn't a spam thing. It just thinks the valid accounts aren't valid anymore. Anyone else seeing this behavior? "550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try 550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or 550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces. Learn more at 550 5.1.1 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=NoSuchUser - gsmtp (in reply to RCPT TO command)"

I have set up Zapier between my learning platform and IC in order to set up a new member when a new enrolment on course. During setup in the form on Zapier, it asks you to complete what information to be added to the IC record - name, email etc. It also enforces that you enter a password. I cannot get past this. what I want is for the member to be able to receive an email asking them to set a password instead of me sending a default password to them (which will end up being the same password for all new members until they change it). if I add a member in the admin CP then this functionality is available. is there anyway to make this work via Zapier? …

Can't seem to for the life of me find this option. Is this available in the latest 4.5.4? I reckon hiding the images/pictures that are attached inline the post will encourage more user sign ups. Thanks in advance! P.S. The checkbox for guests to "Download Attachments" is unchecked but the guest is still able to view images within posts.

I run a cycling site, a user presented the following: The idea is that we start a topic where people enter their daily miles (cycling only, I think, or it will get messy) and we add them to our forum total as we go. We start on Jan 1 and we try to get everyone to participate. So if I ride 20 miles, I post it in the topic, "20 miles on 1/1/21. 20 total." Then the next poster enters, "26 miles 1/1/21. 46 total." And so on. People wouldn't have to post each day. If they miss entering their rides, they could then post multiple rides in one post and total them, as long as they don't replicate previous dates. We can set a forum goal, depending on how many participa…

As you may now Spanner, the creator of this app passed away on a motorcycle accident. Since then IPB removed this from Marketplace. My community rely on this as it is a major component for us.A month ago while i was preparing for 4.5 upgrade i saw that it was not available so i open a case with IPB. It was pointed to me that the App was removed from market place but when i upgrade to 4.5.x i can update it via ACP/Marketplace integration. So i upgraded today i tried to update SD Sales and failed, i opened a case and IPB replied that it is no longer available!This is totally unacceptable since it is an app bought via MArketplace and with a valid support …

I entered my full email and password from Google Workspace as my username and password, as suggested, but it's still not working. Can anyone provide any help? Thank you.

I am trying to retrieve json API data from YouTube using this code: {{$key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx';}} {{$base_url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search';}} {{$channel_id = $record->customFieldDisplayByKey('youtube_channel_id');}} {{$max_results = 3;}} {{$api_url = \IPS\Http\Url::external( $base_url )->setQueryString( array( 'order' => 'date', 'part' => 'snippet', 'channelId' => $channel_id, 'maxResult' => $max_results, 'key' => $key ) );}} {{$videos = $api_url->request()->get()->decodeJson();}} But the string $videos is empty.

Hi everyone. Hope you're staying safe during the pandemic. I was wondering about the following: Limiting the amount of times a post can be reported. If a member goes to report a post that someone else reported, maybe they can see an "Already Reported" message. If a post was reported and warned, the member can see that a warning was issued. Are there any plugins that can do this or maybe a code tweak I can do on my own that would allow this to happen? Thanks.

This is my code on a Page template: {{$videos = $record->customFieldDisplayByKey('youtube_json');}} {{$videos = json_decode($videos, true);}} {{print_r($videos);}} I have tested the content of the field and it is a valid json format. But when I decode it to use it as a php array, it is empty.

Been really anxious to set this widget up for our community to have it cycle recent news from our magazine. So I set it up in a closed forum, and before setting it upon the homepage I decided to see how it looks on mobile. Welp... the carousel isn't carouseling 😄 desktop works fine, But when zooming in to force it to use the mobile interface, it breaks again and doesn't return to function when zooming out late. Got a screen rec to show the problem. *Also, how do I make mobile screen recordings NOT take up six miles of vertical space in forum messages?

Can someone tell me where the resource images are stored on the server (which folder)? Strange thing happened last night, about 15 of my "custom" images disappeared from my theme. In the theme manage resources the image code was still there but the images were gone and a blank/missing image was in their place? I had to delete those missing images from the resources and upload new ones to the custom folder. Thanks for any help or why this would have happened? EDIT: found the folder - uploads/set_resources (but still a mystery as to why they disappeared?) I did run the "Something is not working correctly" in the ACP yesterday could that have deleted the images?

Hi everyone. I have a member who can't seem to login. I know, this is going to be tough to troubleshoot from my end. They say they keep on getting a wrong username/password error. I've reset their password and logged in myself perfectly. I asked them to login with their email and username to see if it helped, still no good. I thought perhaps there was some cached data holding onto an old login session so had them perform a hard reset, still no good. I have Facebook logins enabled which they tried and still no good. Besides throwing their computer out the window does anyone have any suggestions to what we can try next? Thanks :)

Hey there, I have users saying the emotes section (the emojis) is showing crazy broken. It's so weird because I can't see this error. It displays perfectly fine for me, but it's happening to multiple people. Any idea what this could possible be causing this? BTW it happens in the default theme as well. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm not really sure where this question belongs to be honest, so this may well be the wrong forum. However, I'm interested in adding custom emoticons to my IPS board. Problem is, I don't have the graphical skills to create them myself and I'm not sure where to look for them (the x2 size thing really confuses me). Does anyone know where I can find a list or pack of emotions that are compatible with IPS anywhere? Thanks!

Hi, In the context of the GDPR, I am wondering wether there is a way to anonymize all the content refering to un unsbscribed user. In my forum, everybody uses its real name, not a pseudo. I know that the content a user has posted can by anonymized while deleting it in the Admin CP, but the user can also request his name to be deleted everywhere it appears. Is there a way replace the name of that user in every post (quotation, @user, etc...) ?

I migrated subscriptions to the new Subscription Plans, but now I do not have the option to "show on registration form" like I did with existing subscription product. I see an option "If enabled, users will only be able to register if they purchase a Subscription" but I would rather give new members the option of upgrading to a paid subscription as opposed for forcing them 🙂 Can someone tell me where this option has moved too ?

After running forums for 15 years, I don't think I have used a software where its this difficult to get an overview of who is in a group. Any insight would be great! Thanks.
