Which file do I need to modify to disable the automatic http:// addition when adding a URL in CKEditor? I wanted to add a link which needs to be clickable, but does not require the http(s):// protocol. Example: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:01010846894794babc80c20d7d4fe21540a86632..... This is a link but if you add that to CKEditor, it will break it by automatically adding the http in front: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:01010846894794babc80c20d7d4fe21540a86632 What do I need to edit to prevent that?

Hi All, I need to display different AD UNITS (GOOGLE ADSENSE) for Desktop, Tablet & Mobile. So I created different AD UNITS so that I can track them using custom channels.

But by using this DIV/CSS method of disp…

Make "Home" the Forums Home and remove the second level navigation link to my forums name that currently exists. How do I do that? Eg In the above here it says Home Forums Community Led Resources Peer to Peer Technical Support Create New Topic How would I just make it say: Home Community Led Resources Peer to Peer Technical Support Create New Topic With "Home" linking to the forums homepage (which in this case is the only module I run).

My forum is installed in the root directory of my server, but want to move it to a sub directory /forums so that I can install a Wordpress front end. I've been searching/googling but panicking that I kill my forum, is it easy to do??? Is it just a case of modifying the base_url in conf_global.php and physically moving the folders and files?

Hello friends. I create a custom tab with a color setting. Filled it. If i use it in theme CSS as background: {theme="my_var"}; - all is fine, it compiled to background: #1D3746; But if I using background: {hextorgb="my_var" opacity="0.6"}; than it compiled in css to: background: htmlspecialchars( 'my_var', ENT_QUOTES | ENT_DISALLOWED, 'UTF-8', FALSE ); This issue worked only for custom variables. Default theme vars worked well. Maybe I forget doing something? Thanks

So I'm using DLVR. It allows me to automatically send out new threads to Facebook/Twitter when started, along with a sharer image. Question is - do I need this now with the latest version of IPB? Does the software do this automatically now? I'm still confused by this one.

I just installed 4.3.5 (I was on a VERY old version before) and have had some complaints that when they click on a thread in the forum, they no longer jump down to the first unread post. Instead they have to scroll all the way down. Is there a setting I'm missing so that it jumps down to the first unread post in the forum??

Hi guys - I have a "technical support" forum that is available to everyone on my site to see/read. My issue is that this forum topics detracts from the sites main theme and thus I don't want them to show up in the activity stream. Is there any way to remove a specific forums topics from a stream without having to outright adjust permissions on who can see/view the topics and posts of that forum? In other words, everyone should be able to see this forum/topics but those topics should never show up in any activity stream. Thanks! Chad

My site and another forum on the same host has this issue where the first, and only the first page of new posts is slow loading (it can take upto 15-20 seconds, compared to almost instant if there is more than one page). I think is obscure error and limited to these two sites. I don't think anyone else has it but if you can test it it'd be much appreciated. This is the process which Invision managed to replicate, but have no solution.. Mark forum as read. Wait for 15-20 minutes for at least 10 new topics depending on your forum activity. Click Unread Content, it is delayed loading this page. If it isn't, read one topic, and try again. Then it will be ev…

Can anyone help with a problem where my forum has become extremely slow. Clicking on the notifications button or something like moderation actions takes almost 5-10 seconds to open that menu. Posting takes a similar amount of time. Is this something to do with communication with the SQL database? Are there any obvious steps I can take to improve this?

Hi, I want to reduce the number of requests made by the standard IPB template, I want to combine the JS files and wondered if anyone has done this in a way which makes it easier for maintenance/updating etc? I had a look in the marketplace in case someone had built an app for this but couldn't find anything. Cheers

Hi all - thanks to the nice stable framework that Invision have created, I've hardly needed to do any code monkeying for months. Understandably, I prefer to create content than fiddle under the hood. Anyway. We decided on our front page feeds that we should mark out which articles are less than one month old and overlay their thumbnails with a "NEW" label. The problem is, I'm so rusty that I literally can't remember where to start....oops.... Our feeds are generated from Block Feeds where a variety of tests produce the layout we need. The only thing I'm tripping up on is the test for conditionally labelling articles as new or not. I'm so rusty that I am only at the p…

Hello All, I am looking for some help moving the entire database from my old server to the new one. I am not sure how to go about doing it, I was able to "restore" the old SQL database into my new server, however my old MySQL database has a different name (not anymore), username, and password, so I don't know how to point the new server to the imported database. Can anyone help me or direct me on the easiest way to do this?

I want to do a conversion from myBB for just the members that are on there. I don't want this conversion to mess up the members that I already have on my IPB community forum. Can someone assure me that running this members conversion won't mess up the current existing members on my IPB, but instead just "add" to them?

I've just noticed that guests can no longer see poll results, they now see "You do not have permission to vote in this poll, or see the poll results. Please sign in or register to vote in this poll." I've not touched a setting and swear it didn't used to be like this, must have changed when those little ? icons were introduced. Is there anyway to allow guests to see the results or is this a thing now?

This is getting old. Is there any way to stop this repeating activity stream and just have it post once? (Locker or Limited Slip) I don't need to travel through 2 pages worth the same post over and over to find the next post. Can't this be just one time taking you your last read post?
