Whenever I turn on a member's ability to see their own points and reasons, it also shows which moderator did the warning in their profiles. I would like to have that hidden so my moderators are not criticized for doing their jobs. Thanks.

Hey Guys, I've just updated from 4.3 to the latest 4.4 but unfortunately the site's now broken for logged in members. Guests can access database records with no issues but members get: Error: Call to a member function url() on boolean (0) #0 /var/www/vhosts/xxxx.de/httpdocs/applications/cms/modules/front/database/record.php(331): IPS\Theme\class_cms_database_display_news->record(Object(IPS\cms\Records6), '\n<div data-cont...', NULL, true) #1 /var/www/vhosts/xxxx.de/httpdocs/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(96): IPS\cms\modules\front\database\_record->manage() #2 /var/www/vhosts/xxxx.de/httpdocs/system/Content/Controller.php(50): IPS\Dispatcher\_Co…

Hi everyone! I'm trying to truncate some forum descriptions to 2-3 lines and am not quite sure how to correctly implement this widget. I've gotten as far as wrapping the text with the code as seen below as an example. On my site, it truncated the text to 4 lines, but I see on the documentation that it's possible to modify the number of lines with some optional parameters; where in the code would I place these parameters and what's the syntax for it? Thanks in the advance! <div data-ipstruncate=""> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. </div>

Hi, I'm trying to draw more attention to members' gallery albums. Now the only way to discover if a member has anything uploaded to the gallery is to check his profile or just go browse the gallery. I'm thinking if would be an okay idea to show an font-awesome type image icon on the topic view page under a members' avatar with the condition being for it to show up is if he has ever uploaded a single image and clicking that icon would take to website.com/profile/18514-membername/?tab=node_gallery_gallery page (if there's not better destination) has anyone ever attempted something like that before? of have tips how to make it?

Hi guys I am being told our members don t like to land on the default error page that tells them that they are not logged in. Probably because the default language is confusing for people who partied all night. I was wondering if there was an addon or something I could modify with some custom css or code to have a nice looking message well structured with bullet points telling them what to do instead of the forums error you get when someone tries to get into the client section here. Let me know if there is something out there or where to change the error page template Thanks in advance

Is there setting to control whether Topic Replies are included (or weighted) in search results? On 2 different servers with the same forum data, When I use MySQL search, I get search results that display a result for each Reply in the Topic that contains the criteria. When I use Elastic search, the search results displays only a single result (the Topic) on the Search Results Page even though the criteria might show up several times within the Topic. Is the difference Elastic vs. MySQL, or is there a setting somewhere that controls whether criteria displays a search result for every instance found in a Topic?

Hi, I have visited one forum running IPS 4 and it had such mobile ads. And I liked them a lot... as an admin. 😄 They appear, you dismiss after time they reappear not very intrusive. Seemed like a good thing to have. They probably are adsense. Can anyone tell me more exactly how do I set up such ads?

Hey there, quick question for you guys. Is it possible to select a particular image as the featured image a thread? I ask because when I promote threads on social media, it pulls For example, I would like for this thread to have the attached featured image, but no other thread should have that (as opposed to having to use the Default share image). https://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/index.php?/topic/771063-britney-frolics-the-beach-in-a-bikini-and-cowboy-hat/ I also attached the previews of what they would look like on Facebook and Twitter. It would be great to specify the image somehow. Thanks.

I have Rocket Loader enabled with Cloudflare and I believe that it is causing issues with the Multi-quote feature on my forum. Does anyone know which script is used for Multi-quote so I can add data-cfasync="false" to it?

hi, I don't know about you, but once I learned that IPS made this imageproxy thing was a very good day. sadly a day many years late since my community entered its 14th year as of 2020. Image the number of image lost to external website and the likes of imageshack.us and so on. taking advantage of it in 2019 is only futureproofing with a big loss in past posts. anyhow it poses its own inconveniences: huge giphy reaction GIF caches since my members loves them and in signatures - GAMER-CARDS (with game stats) which are updated often while being linked to a single external image get cached too). I wonder has anyone tried looking into a way to exclude certain domains from…

One of my new members states they are getting this error code on many pages. When I did a search I found nothing recent or after 2015. Is anyone else getting this? I logged in with several different user group accounts and could not replicate the error, I did not see it even once.

Hello, I hope this is the right place to add this question. I have a site which is part blog and part forum. I want to have a consistent header across the site and I'd like to pull in a php file (called header.php) into my InVision theme. I've created a test theme but I can't see to get it to pull in the php file into the Global Template I've tried a normal PHP include and I've also seen a reference to use {insert="myfile"} but neither work. Is there a way to do this? My thanks in advance to anyone offering advice! Rob

Hello, I've been a licensed customer since 2004 and haven't really had much luck in getting a community going and sticking around. I had one for my family, and then a general one where I paid for people to come and post to try to get it started. Long story, but I don't actually have a customer base I can tap into for a community. I've been struggling for an identity. I have many personal interests, mainly revolving around IT / Online Gaming / Data Center services. I am looking for ideas for forums and categories, and was hoping that someone had some suggestions for me to build a general community. It doesn't have to be technology specific, as my domain…

Hi guys, I'm wondering what are your thoughts on long URLs in Pages' news? What I mean which you think should be better with search engines and so on? Would www.site.com/parent/category/article-title-r800/ Be worse than www.site.com/parent/article-title-r800/ And in my case as I have a need for going even deeper to classify my articles I go as far as which starts to look ridiculous. www.site.com/parent/category/sub-category/article-title-r800/ ?
