Hi, can IPS show twitter videos like this one here: https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1194793005279956992/vid/720x720/Jn0ZKfZMGmCWq91l.mp4 embedded nicely and shown like youtube or vimeo? IPS support says its not out of the box feature yet. Perhaps someone made something that makes them work?

Hi all Still setting up here so apologies in advance for some dumb questions. I've set up some RSS feeds that create news-like topics for discussion but I want to noindex those particular topics/posts to avoid a Google penalty for duplicate content. I've looked at the meta tag manager but haven't quite figured it out. Do I manually block a category of urls (with a wildcard) in the Robots.txt file or can IPS generate the tags on each forum/topic as it is created? Thanks

On one of my boards, I have a particular bot that's in my online list with nearly 200 instances. I've banned the IP block (114.119.*.*) It shows as "petalbot.(with the specific IP address).aspiegel".com. Is there any better way of blocking that specific bot?

My .com domain name and private domain name renewed this week. Not sure if this is related, but two days ago, I was informed by users that they could not access website. Microsoft Edge users get "Hmmm. Can't find this website", and Google Chrome users get "This site can't be reached". I have no idea how to trouble shoot this, and of course it's Saturday. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello everyone, I have been in and out over the past 9 years and IPS has always been a home to me. While I do love the opportunity to create lovely community sites I often fall flat on my ideas. and seem to fail within the first few months. An Idea and vision is only the beginning of any community so I run into the worst situation I struggle most: advertising or marketing. My rule of thumb is I always start really cheap, like a shared host because it's cheap and cost effective and if your project fails than no harm no foal. Although the downside is the regret of renewing your license with IPS and now you have a license that once again collects dust because the comm…

So i've recently opened the clubs functionality on our community and went on to translate it, and It looks like there is a key there that's already being used in a different place. On the clubs page, when you want to add "Topics" you aren't ACTUALLY adding topics, but more of a forum, since the club members open topics inside of it (I hope that makes sense to anybody other than me). So I've translated it to say "Forum". easy peasy. To my surprise, when browsing a member's activity on their profile, I saw that under the activity filter bar, under "Forums" it say "forums" again. Which is obviously wrong, since this refers to the TOPICS this member has started. S…

Hello Does it make sense to create a subdomain like “static.mydomain.com” in order to define the domain of cookies? Should I then add in the constants.php file the following 3 constants, namely: - \define ('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'https://static.mydomain.com'); - \define ('COOKIE_PREFIX', 'prefix_'); - \define ('COOKIE_PATH', '/'); I'm not sure if these are the correct lines to insert into the constants file! Thank you in advance, Regards, Claude

I purchased it and installed it, but have no idea how to actually use it on my site (I'm a hopeless newbie when it comes to forum development). I've reached out to the company twice via their online contact form and have received no response. Their web forum is strange, they have a tutorials section but when I click the threads there seems to be no content, and there seems to be no way to post (I've registered). It's bizarre, like I've purchased a product from a company that doesn't seem to actually exist. If anyone knows how to use the plugin, please let me know. Do I create a new page on my site for it? Is there a way to highlight some of the videos on my …

Hi guys, I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to provide me with a line of css. I have an issue with my directory that im pretty sure can be fixed with css. When you do a search on mobile, the map marker pop up that displays the company details adds a scroll bar, and it is a bit fiddly to use, sometimes doesn't work at all. I would like the scroll bar removed and just the whole pop up displayed, theres plenty of room. I was hoping something as simple as the max-height property would work but its not, or i'm just not finding the right selector. You will need to perform a search to see the map marker pop up https://arbtalk.co.uk/recycling/nearby-tipsites/?nearb…

Hi there! I am trying to build a custom database where my members can submit records. I created a custom template to display each individual record.. the template displays text information along with 4-5 images. The issue I have is that when I am trying from the front end to add/edit a new record, it gives me the option to upload only the first photo. The rest fields are shown only as titles.. You can see in the upload_01.png, "Photo 1" gives the option to upload an image while the rest are like inactive. In the upload_02.png, I swapped the fields and now for "Photo 2" I have the option to upload a photo.. and all the rest.. inactive. I have the permissi…

Well I've started looking at the tag functionality on our website. I'm very new to this and I'm struggling to find my way around. One thing though – is that I found a list of tags – about 1100 pages of them including words like and, the, from, before, in – you get the picture. Isn't there some way of excluding all of these kinds of word? Thanks

Strange one I just installed a new theme (a dark mode one) On my standard theme advertisements show just fine When I switch theme to the new dark theme no advertisements show at all. The install for the dark theme was just an XML file to change the CSS colours Any ideas why the advertisements features just wouldn't show on a new theme if all that's changed is the CSS/colours?

I recently shifted my forum from http to https using SSL certificate provided by Lets Encrypt. I followed the procedure as changing the URL from http to https by editing the file conf_global.php and then clearing the cache from forum AdminCP and then refreshing the license key. Now that all the member profile images are broken. When right clicked on broken image and selecting "open image in new tab" of google chrome browser, it was showing 403 error and when noticed, the URL was served with http link and not https. When editing the http url of the broken image URL in the google chrome address bar to https, the image is opening fine. So, I came to conclusion t…

I have an issue with my site that I am trying to figure out, and would appreciate any tips or advice. My website displays "Community Resources" which contains outdated links, and links as well as an item that is hidden from the public. When I go into Menu Manager in the AdminCP, the entire category is missing from the menu manager, yet still displays on the website. I then tried to edit SQL directly, and it does not make any difference, if I change the values, it does not update or change the links on the active site to match what is in the database. Changing the theme does not make any difference, the "Community Resources" dropdown still shows regardless of which theme i…

Hi everyone, I want to give several of our staff members the ability to help our administrative team respond to support tickets. The only issue is I would not like the member's first and last name (if it was provided during checkout) to be displayed on the support ticket. Is there any way for us to disable a setting to remove the member's the name and show their username instead? Thank you!

As far as I can see the documentation, there is no indication as to how often the RSS feed is refreshed. Anyone have any idea on this please? Also, I suggested this before – it will be very nice to be able to filter the RSS feed out to various sub- forums depending on words or phrases – either included or excluded/white listed or blacklisted. But for the moment, any idea from anyone how often this feed is refreshed? I'm a bit surprised that one can't configure this
