Hello everyone, We use hosted IPS cloud solution. I'd like for my background to be a separate setting from page background color, but they are set in the same setting in the cp admin theme editor. Would someone be willing to provide me css code to make all page backgrounds (but not the entire background) white? See site below: https://www.varanormal.com Want page background to be white (just like this post here!) but the area outside of the page to be a light gray (just like we see it here, and just like it is set in posts) Thanks in advance!! Keith

I'm kinda struggling to understand exactly how primary and secondary user groups work permissions/settings wise. Are permission/settings are cumulative (stack)? For instance (just an academic example), Our default group CANNOT use the PM system. We have group [A] where members can send 10 PMs a day. Then we have group [B] were users can send 20 PMs a day. If I want a user to be able to send 10 or 20 PMs a day, can I keep them in the default group and just add them to groups [A] or [B] as necessary or do I have to switch their primary group? The thing is, we're having trouble with highlighted posts - I can't seem to get them to work unless the user is in a pri…

Hello, Is there a shortcut for opening the link dialog in the editor? In the accessibility documentation for CKEditor it says Ctrl+L, but that doesn't do anything here.

I'm trying to create a query which will display the items we have for sale, the descriptions, the stock count, and so on. One of the challenges I have is that the site has two languages, so if I want the name of a product, I have to look in core_sys_lang_words: SELECT p_id AS ID, word_custom AS Title, word_custom AS Description, p_group AS Category, p_stock AS Stock, p_store AS 'In Store', GBP AS Price, p_discounts AS Discounts, from_unixtime(p_date_added, '%Y-%d-%m') AS Added, from_unixtime(p_date_updated, '%Y-%d-%m') AS Updated FROM nexus_packages as np LEFT JOIN core_sys_lang_words as lang ON lang.lang_id=1 AND lang.word_key=CONCAT('nexus_package_', np.p_id)…

Post conversion, I have a few users who cannot login because they've forgotten their password. I tell them to use the reset option but apparently no email comes through. So I just tried the option myself in the admin control panel and get the error: 2C114/13 This user is not currently using a login handler that uses a password. Is it not possible to reset a users password post conversion until after they've logged in? Or I am missing something.

HI everyone, I have a question around how to properly write the logic for a translation string. Tricky one. Possibly impossible. It's this one: user_other_activity_reply The English one is : %2$s replied to %3$s's %1$s in - it will parse into "X replied to Y's topic in" In German it's more difficult. We don't use the apostophe-s - we either simply add the s at the end of the word, OR, if there is already an s at the end, we then add an apostrophe, to indicate the omitting of the last s. So instead of John's we write Johns - and instead of James's we write James'. (I guess the above string would translate into "James's" which to my knowledge is actuall…

Hi everyone, maybe I'm blind (again), but I can't seem to find an option for users (not guests) to click on "Like" below a posting. There's only an option for questions and rating them as helpful or not, which is not why I am looking for. I've seen this in other forums based on this software. People can click on the like button below a posting, there is a counter next to it and you can also see who as liked (pretty much like in FB). Is there no such thing, or does this require a plugin which I also did not find?

In my older forum I had added some custom BBCode to the BBCode parser as well as a custom icon to the editor. Now, even if I turn on BBCode parsing, there does not seem to be any option to add custom BBCode anywhere. So probably I would need to edit some files. Where would I find this?

I noticed that the list of who is online in the footer and even the full listing of who is online and what they are currently looking at is visible also for guests. This needs to be turned off, as this is of no concern for non-members. How can I turn that off? Also, the listing header in the footer mentions "0 anonymous", which is a problem, as this functionality is not even available in my forum and should not - hence this mention will raise questions with the members. Where can I remove this?

And the following appears after I believe to have transferred the files using FileZilla and was trying to enter admin CP How bad did I mess up.... For backstory, I was forced to upgrade manually because my former forum co-owner disappeared years ago with the license, e-mails and what not, so I was forced to purchase the software all over again and I'm upgrading from really old software. I tried to google walk through and thought to find one, but I don't know what went wrong. Can someone please help me, I'm stressed out and just hoping I haven't lost all the forum posts and stuff like that.

I would like to add placeholder attributes to the registration form as members constantly enter the wrong information in the custom fields. I am talking about the greyed out wording in the form boxes that stays there until the user enters their text. Can anyone tell me where to enter the placeholder html code for the custom fields? <input type="text" name="fname" placeholder="First name"><br> <input type="text" name="lname" placeholder="Last name"><br> Thanks
