I've bitten the bullet and tried my hand at creating a (sort of) plugin, ie adding a button to my editor. What I wanted to achieve was something like this, where a user could add an explanation about a word if it were difficult. (The site is for language learners so articles are supposed to be in easy language.) Here's the code from my button: <a href='#' title='{option}' data-ipsTooltip>{content}</a> But what I'm getting is this: and the reason is because my data-ipsTooltip isn't present: If I change the code in my browser, then everything is fine: So the problem centres on data-ipsTooltip being stripped. Why is …

Hey guys, A weird issue and I am wondering whether this is a server configuration. Whenever I try to update one of my custom made applications I got from this community I get the error message: The application you uploaded cannot be installed because it is not a valid application, the archive is corrupt or the file and directory permissions in /applications do not allow it. I checked the directory permissions but they are not the problem. The file is most likely also not the problem cause it seems I am the only one having this problem. So I am asking you guys. Any idea? Best regards, Paul

Can anyone recommend an open source IDE that works well for theming IPS? I want to work directly on my "Designer's Mode" files on my test server. I'd rather not work on the files directly, but that's what I will be doing if I can't find a free (or cheap) IDE that will allow me to connect to my server env and modify files directly via remote IDE. Thanks in advance

...."Applications not currently installed"? I mean, I still have Chat listed there...my understanding is that you can click the Install button and simply replace them, but, well, what's the point? If you uninstalled apps then it was for a reason, and you can always reinstall from your HD or download from the site. I see no point of retaining them in one-click installable form on one's website - especially since they will almost certainly be old and useless versions anyway (cf. Chat). So why not just get rid of this and the needless (albeit minimal) storage it demands? Besides...IMHO it looks messy. Just my two cents. 🙂

We just set up https on our self hosted server, it's working fine but I'm wondering what this means This is a toggle option. Does this mean every image displayed on your forum is saved to your server? because that would obviously take a lot of space. Or temporarily saved then deleted?

IPS is looking into this for me (currently with level 3 tech) but I wanted to canvass the community to see if this happens to anyone else. Situation is this: spam defense set such that a new account that gets flagged as a 3 is subject to admin approval. New account registers. Spam defense assigns a 3 rating. IP is Korea, username is gibberish, looks to be a spam bot What is presumably a bot account takes some action (in my case they changed their e-mail address to the same address they used at sign up) to generate an email asking them to approve the email change. They approve the change. Somehow, without an admin approving their account…

Can someone confirm the issue? I have fresh install of 4.3.x with no modifications. Just right after installation I go to the ACP->Members->Staff->Moderator. I can see the tabs: General Content Member Management Warnings Databases I cannot see tabs for Forums Calendar Blogs Gallery Images Gallery Albums Articles The applications for the missing tabs are installed and enabled. I have run Support tool, there is nothing that is wrong on the installation. I have the same issue on my other localhost installation that has some 3rd party apps installed. I am missing the tabs for these 3rd pa…

Hi all, I did a search on the matter to hide all signatures for guests and found only old threads... So: Is there a possibility to hide signatures of members for guest browsing? Our sigs are not relevant to our content and just clutter the posts browsable to guests. Thanks, Thomas

Hey guys, We've built a custom relationship plugin that allows us to pull through items from the gallery application to the pages application, by tying the image to a listing in the pages app. I'm looking to output these items now, and limit them. I can output them fine using the following: {{if $relationships['gallery_images'] == NULL}}No photos available for this listing, be the first to <a href="/gallery/submit/?_new=1">submit a photo</a>.{{else}} {{foreach $relationships['gallery_images'] as $image}} <div class="containThumb"> <div class="thumbBlock_holder"> <img class="myImg thumbBlock" src="/uploads/{$im…

I have been looking around for a solution to this but I just can't find it. Note: - I am on 4.3.6, no error logs for this or anything mentioned in system logs. System Check is good. - I am self hosted. - I have no applications. - The theme I am referencing to is an unmodified theme (Default). - Images sync / upload fine. Steps: 1) I go into designer mode 2) I upload a webfont or svg in the applicable /themes/#/ directory on FTP. As a side note: Strangely the current missing svgs will be visible in the theme FTP folder. 3) I sync the theme (or all themes) by simply leaving designer mode and selecting such 4) I go int…

Hello, I want to program one page, and add few functions for buttons by using onclick event and calling javascript function that carries some php code. But it seems that page reads all php code even though it is inside the function, some javascript functions got auto read. I tried to make seperated js code in templates and use it for the page and none of those functions got called or even work. Example of code: <a id="mybutton" onclick='alert({{header("Refresh:0");}});' >example</a> or <a id="mybutton" onclick='helloworld()'>example</a> <script>function helloworld(){alert({{header("Refresh:0");}});}</script> Fo…

I would like to edit the flash message that pops up with a new notification. Specifically I am wanting to handle the avatar display depending on user group. I've updated userPhoto and userPhotofromData but neither of those manage this section. Same for when composing a private message, the autocomplete menu item. Where can I edit these?

Where the user can be directed to anywhere on the website, based on random-number generation? It wouldn't be *that* useful, but some readers would enjoy it. Thanks if anyone knows.

Long story short. I have two license keys assigned to me. I renewed the one associated with my domain, and still shows it expired. The license key my forum shows is the one I don't use, have not for years. How can i change it?

I noticed that the suite was using howler.js. That ties in nicely with something I'm working on. What I want to do is create something like this, where certain words play an audio file when clicked. I wasn't able to replicate it so thought I'd try something similar in CodePen. Here's my pen. As you can see, I've got it working there, though rather inefficiently. That won't be a problem; once this page is written, I won't have to update it. Where I always fail is trying to get something I've done elsewhere working within IC. The problem is that I just don't really understand what the suite expects of me. I've created the page. I've put my compiled JS in…

I know there are applications like iAwards and Trophies and Medals, but I need something simpler. My idea is to give an award or badge in postbit to users who care about writing correctly in the forum. Can you think of a way to do it?

Any idea why article comments would send me a notification that a comment is there, but then when I click on the notification the comment isn't there? I see it in the moderator CP, but not in the page. Is there some delay, and if so, what setting changes this? PS - Strangely I can open a different browser and see the comment. This is happening in the latest Chrome desktop browser, and it seems to be some sort of caching issue.
