Hi. I need to output one site in my app (some module) as blank page. How to do this? Currently an IPS renders of course a whole theme but i don't need that. This page would be viewed by some bot. Thanks

Looking for any accounting software that has best compatibility with IPS. Our main products, subscriptions and advertising all running on IPS so hoping to find some accounting solution that can pull all income, invoices, customer detail data from IPS and we just have to manually enter bare minimum expenses and details every month.

Hi everyone, in my previous 3.4 version I uses a hook or plugin called "Message on Board Index", it enabled me to post to message just below the header of the board index and also define which groups could see it (only guests, only members, etc.). This enabled me to have in introduction text for gust visitors or make an internal-only announcement, etc. Is there something similar for 4.5? I know there is a global notification option or plugin for 4.5, but that's a) not limited to only the index and b) can't be restricted to certain groups, so it's not what I need.

When I drag a block onto a database page, the result is global to all records and categories. (every record in the database sees the same block). I'd like to add a specific custom block (such as ads) to a specific record or category so it is targeted. Is there a way to do this? I've tried several times without success. Thank you.

I have several databases which are used for Tutorials, Tools and Calculators etc which I want to provide only to registered logged in users. However, to entice people to register on a site you need to show them what they are missing out on by not registering. The issue with the permissions on databases/pages is to stop Guests from accessing individual records you can't show them a page listing the records that they are missing out on. For example in my case I want to show them what is available to them if they registered: BUT NOT allow them them to see/use the actual record (in this case a form tool): If you set the database/pages permissions so…

I noticed on clubs you take the threads and place them into forum subforms. I feel the blogs take away from the community (i.e members making blogs about subforms that are already created); and need to be pushed into posting more on the forum. When I try to convert them I get this (is it a bug?) it shows "community" and so I assume there was a easy way to convert them -- it also allows me to move them into clubs said members are in: Thanks 🙂

Hello, forum: http://www.jwfan.com/forums On IPBoard 4.4, we had this in our custom.css that made avatars display bigger in desktop, and this didn't affect mobile .ipsUserPhoto_large img, img.ipsUserPhoto_large, .ipsUserPhoto_large:after { width: 120px; height: 120px; {{if theme.rounded_photos}} border-radius: 45px; {{endif}} } If I put this same code into the custom.css of our (default) theme now that we're on IPBoard 4.5., the avatars look fine on desktop (well, almost fine, the badges for admins are off-center) but it completely breaks the mobile view Does anybody know what CS…

Right now i have a basic page and using the WYSIWYG object to make this table, all the version links will be clickable. How could i put this data in a database and display it in this fashion. I can't seem to connect the dots to make the content fit the look.

Hi there, me again ... sorry, I have only just upgraded from 3.4 to 4.5 and have to do about one million settings and configurations. I noticed something ugly on the index page. There is a title section on top of the forums listing which just says "Forum" (and then on the far right there's the button to create a new topic). If you are in an actual forum with topics, one level lower, that block will show the name of that forum (or subforum). But on the start page it makes no sense whatsoever that it says "Forum". Well yes, the whole website is a forum. Duh. I would like to change this text to something more meaningful, for instance the actual name of my forum. Wh…

Hoping this one can be answered by one of the devs out there who play with CSS on a regular. I have built a custom contact page that uses the forum css classes to produce sections with links. One such section, where I've been having an issue, looks like this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/468748717684686868/771564822621323306/unknown.png Specifically, I have two questions. Firstly, is there a CSS class that would solve the alignment issue with the information section at the top, and one that'll add in a dividing line between that and the first item? Secondly, when compared with the title on the actual forum, the title entry is too small. The H…

For some unexplainable reason there is no simple option to add more Google Fonts. There are only 5-6 to select from. Or maybe I am looking in the wrong places ... Does someone know where to find the template or css or code which I would simply edit to add the fonts I want?

Is it possible to select different "marked messages" per user group? At the moment we can mark a message but all messages have the same background. For example: Admin has a yellow badge = Dark yellow border + Light yellow background Moderator has blue badge = Dark blue border + Light blue background ... Is this possible? I'm still on IPB 4.4.

A user contacted me today letting me know the system won't let them react to any more posts. Apparently they've reached their "daily reaction limit?" Where is the setting to control this? I've not seen this error before. Thanks!

Hello everyone. A few months ago my site was migrated to another server, and the emojis were corrupted as they used a mysql dump with the wrong character set. Anyway, not much that I can do about that now, but I would like to clean up the traces that now simply show as a question mark: ? (New emojis from the migration date onwards show fine though). But, the result is that I have 2 years of content with question marks where they shouldn't be, and this could confuse readers. The code of the corrupted emojis is: <img alt="?" class="ipsEmoji" src="https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/72x72/3f.png"> That emoji does not exist, and I would like to use a query to eithe…
