hi, where I could set the minimum number of shown subcategories? I assume its hard-coded somwhere. I want them all listed instead of having "and 3 more". PS I think the same mechanism might be controlling Downloads' categories as well, right?

According to this documentation - "If your external application is on the same domain or subdomain as your IPS Community Suite you can easily include the IPS Community Suite framework and use the objects and methods made available to validate a user as being logged in." We have an application on a subdomain - but the print function is returning what appears to be an encrypted username - which isn't matching up. That's this code in the documentation: /* Print the user's name */ print \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name; IPB support has said this isn't within their scope and to reach out to the community. Anyone else run into this or have possible solu…

I'm looking for an addon/application that can manage a contest (with a start/end date) where users can submit a file (in my case, an audio file) or link to a file, and then everyone gets x number of votes to vote for the most popular files. Displaying the top 10 items that were voted on would be nice as well Or, would something like this be possible in Pages?

I'm using the built-in advertisements now and noticed that all three versions of an ad are pulled down even when only one size is shown. In the screenshot below you can see the Large, Medium, and Small images are pulled form the server. This increases load time for no apparent reason. Google page speed also says these are off screen images that should lazy load. Question: Is this normal that all three sizes load when only one is shown? Question: Wouldn't is be better to just load the largest one and resize it with CSS because it's going to load anyway?

hi, I wonder why is it so that twitter style emojis take to long to load when you want to use them? first you click on emoji icon, then the window appears with emojis being like glitched for the lack of a better word, and in 2-3 seconds normal emojis appear. cant they be cached to something, makes using emoji not that smooth of a process? anyone else suffering from that?

Hello All, We need to create logins for our customers >= 100K members. We would like to go with the option of using mysql database as login handler, once the logins created for all the members is it possible to force them to change their password on first login? Does this require any customization of the login modules? or I am missing any configurations as I don't see options to force customer to change the password. Thanks

Hi Guys - I am working with @opentype's SuperReviews plugin and templates. I've added a field named Price to out product database, but I can't figure out how to sort by this field. I've tried number fields, text (and validated as number), etc... but the sorting only seems to look at the first digit of the price, unless more than one have the same first digit. Below is a screenshot of the sort by price. Question: How can I create a field that will be sorted by price? Bonus Question: How to default the sort to Ascending?

Hello. Im migrating my app from IPB 3.4 to 4 and i achieved a problem. My old database has few tables without default values. Of course it's working like a charm for years (integers are always 0 etc..) But after i migrated some tables, there is a problem with IPS. I have a knowledge about mysql-server strict mode. I have disabled it but IPS is handling it own way.. I dont want to set manually default values to my own 30 tables - so this is not a solution. There is one solution "INSERT IGNORE INTO" instead of "INSERT INTO" - it's working, but i don't know it is secure

We just recently updated to the newest version and in doing so our layout has a few errors that we are noticing. Firstly, the image for the user who posted content is displayed twice as shown here: I was able to find that there are two identical lines of code being written for each post that href back to the users profile (as they should) but I am unable to find where to edit to be able to stop the code from displaying the image twice. Secondly, the user who posts the content is being displayed as the reply-er, and the reply-er is being shown as the poster. These just need to be switched, but again, I am unable to find where to fix these issues. …

I've just converted a database from XF 2.1 to IPS 4.4.8 using the new converters. Everything has gone fine and all of the topics and posts have been imported (which is what I wanted to save time having to redo them all) however, there is a small snag; all of my posts are (just over 1100 of them) are showing as 'Guest Dave' and I would like to associate them with my user ID (ID #1) is there any SQL command that would do the job so the posts can be re-associated with my current user name and lose the 'Guest Dave'? Any help would be greatly appreciated; with thanks.

I know it is "nit-picking" but the current upgrade notice says Version 4.4.8 of Invision Community is now available Version 4.4.7 is a maintenance update to fix critical issues reported since 4.4.7. Should it say -- Version 4.4.8 is a maintenance update to fix critical issues reported since 4.4.7.

Hi Guys - Our users are reporting a strange issue with Firefox loading IPS topics in the forum, activity stream, etc... There is a short delay where the mouse won't turn into a hand over links and it's like the page isn't loading correctly. Upon closer inspection, a user noticed Firefox was trying to open the sound card when loading an IPS page and there was contention causing it to freak out, thus the delay before things fully functioned. This is frequently noticed on the activity streams where people load it and go to click right away. I have all sounds disabled in IPS. Question: Why is IPS trying to open the sound card upon page load? One specifi…

This is one area that is driving me nuts. Has anyone else run into this? Or is this a bug? After a 3.4.7 upgrade to 4.4.6 test install on the Localhost the upgrade went fine with no issues. But after a 4.4.6 to 4.4.7 upgrade for example the Join Dates are AWOL. Being this is not a theme issue (no themes installed) I have looked in the core files and compared every file with WinMerge that could have any possible link to this with absolutely no luck. Maybe I am looking in the wrong files? Has anyone else run into this issue with the upgrade.
