Folks, I am stumped, I am trying to create a block, custom, with manual html. I am using common html columns code such as: <div class="row"> <div class="column"></div> <div class="column"></div> <div class="column"></div> </div> But my layout is shown as paragraphs, instead of the three column layout I would like for three content areas. I have tried various html elements, with manual html custom block, and nothing seems to work, can anyone tell me what step I am missing? Thanks for any help.

As of late, my server has been crashing and upon checking logs, it seems this is what’s causing the issue: /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/php-cgi Since my server runs only IPS software, I was wondering what in IPS would cause these spikes in PHP processes that lead my server to crash.

I scoured my theme trying to edit this page only. But I cannot find how to do this. Here is what happened. AdSense says I am violating a policy. I have a Fishing web site and there is a classified section on it and one section is for hunting items. Here is the link if you want a look. http://fishingboard.thunderbayfishing.com/index.php?/classifieds/guns-ammo-and-bows/ What I want to do is remove the adsense ads from it but I have used the global template and if I remove the ads I lose them from every page! Is it possible to just edit this page only to remove the ads? Roger

Hi all I'm doing some housekeeping in different areas of one of my forums, and there is one section which has a lot of really old topics causing clutter, which I'd like to remove from the forum. I can't find a way that I can either easily export these or delete them, but I'm probably being a bit stupid as I'm sure there must be a means of doing this sort of tidying easily? Basically I would like to be able to delete (but ideally export first, - it's not too important to export as I can always restore info from backups if I absolutely have to) based on a rule like this: Delete all topics in SubForum X where last post was more than 1 year ago Is there a …

Dear developers! When localizing the strings from the new platform version, we faced a possible problem. It seems to us that the stings "Opt Out" (src\*.xml.core.lang.xml.language.core.updates_consent_enabled.0) and "Opt In" (src\*.xml.core.lang.xml.language.core.updates_consent_disabled.0) need to be used one instead of the other ('Opt out' instead of 'Opt in' and 'Opt in' instead of 'Opt out') because their current descriptions do not correspond to them . Please let us know if we are right.

I'm using a Pages database to integrate with CloudFlare so our clients can make simple edits to their DNS. All of that is working great. Right now I have the title field hidden from all groups. It defaults to "DNS update in progress" so that the user doesn't need to enter anything when creating an entry, and I'm updating that title field with data I get from the CloudFlare API response (to something like [A] record.domain.com => 192.168.1.1) My problem is that the URL slug doesn't update when the title updates, so it's always something like /dns-update-in-progres-r15/... Which looks sketchy to the client. Is there a way to have this particular database ONLY u…

Unfortunately for me, Downloads doesn't appear to allow admins to specify that a category is a container, which is what I would like to have, so that my related sorts of Downloads (Official Documentation, Educational Material etc) are all placed under the same umbrella. I don't have any intention of uploading to the parent category itself; I just want to treat it as a container which displays a feed of the latest files in its subcategories. The page, unfortunately, has a great big message on it which I don't want to be there. I see this: People without uploading permissions see this: I think the solution is going to be to apply .cDownloadsCa…

When using the Invision cloud platform, what service do most people use in order to maintain email hosting for their domain name? What's the typical cost? I'm currently continuing to use the webhost where I used to self-host IPB. The cost for $5 USD/mth. That seems very reasonable to me, but I am very curious about options and other solutions.

I need to personalise my output in a database template depending on whether a particular category is being displayed. I'm fine doing that with the Category Index template set because the index template contains the attribute $categories. Great! Likewise, I could do it in the Listing template set because categoryHeader also contains the variable. Unfortunately, I need to place my code specifically in categoryTable, which doesn't have $categories as an attribute. What do I need to do within that categoryTable to be able to reference the category? Once I'm able to do that, I'll be able to add a check to print some conditional code.

We have just upgraded to 4.3 and the activity streams aren't showing new posts even though some have been made in existing topics. The topics are showing in the feed as not being updates for the past 12 hours. We have rebuilt the indexes twice now and no change. Have submitted a support ticket to IPS but thought I would ask here also Thanks

Hi, When trying to add another Invision community as a login method, it seems there is a bug: the Client Identifier and Client Secret fields are missing from the screen. Here it is: So, when I try to save the details, I get an error: "The provider is not responding as expected. Check the application settings are correct and you have registered the correct Redirect URI.". The message seems logical, as I'm not able to set the Client Identifier and Secret… It seems like it's a bug? I'm running IPS 4.3.3, and the bug is present even with all new fresh files from the Client Area. Unfortunately, the support can't h…

Hi there, we are still running a ip board 3.4.x and we want to migrate soon to 4.x Anyway we wanted to display cookie notices to the users in the old board and I downloaded Cookie Notice 3.0.5 and tried to install the hook. The installation gives no error message, but somehow the hook does not show up properly. See attached image. In the lower part of the attached image you can see (above the line "Contact form - Bottom link"), that there was a hook added today at 7:15, but there is no title and no fields filled, when you edit the properties. On the download page it said "Compatible: 4.2". Does that mean, that it is not downward compatible to 3.x? …

Hi, is there an easy way to show the ipb built-in cookie consent message also on non ipb-pages? We also have an external cms (wp) running and don't want to show another cookie consent which won't use the same setting-cookie. Thanks for any help.
