Hi, I need a plugin development. At the forum I want to make a global RSS Automatically in RSS should get topics only from the sections allowed in the ACP. From the gallery images also fall only from the sections allowed in the ACP. Of the other sections, only posts marked by the administrator or topics marked by the administrator should be listed in RSS (only the first posts from the topic). If this post has already been added to the RSS (last week), the administrator should confirm the resending.

Hello, I think I've seen this somewhere but now I can't find it. Has anyone experienced this? As an admin I may create unlimited albums (as per usergroup permissions), yet it tells me: "You can't create any more albums (maximum of 100)" And I'm not even sure if I have those many (I may though)

I have a club you have to join to see the content which I really want people to do cause that's where the goodies will be regarding photos. However when using the block manager in trying to create an appealing front page and using the As a guest on the site I can see the galleries by name combined with a image placeholder. Even though I rather have a teaser photo from the galleries I can live with the placeholders BUT not the text that comes up when you click on it. This text is not that appealing and make it sound like there should be something wrong on the site which is not. So my questions are the following. Have I done something wrong in the set…

When you upload an image to the Gallery, it resizes the original to a large, medium, small and thumbnail size. The sizes for these 4 formats can be set in the admin settings. The original image is not deleted from the file system. Can these uploaded images automatically be deleted? They can be quite big in size and can fill up disk space quickly when you have many images in the Gallery.

The forum was slow to load and we received the following error message: "The following tasks appear to be locking frequently: clearsessions" Shortly afterwards, the site was inaccessible until we repaired the crashed core_sessions table in the database. The forum is now running normally, but I'd like to know if this is likely to re-occur, and if so, how to avoid it please?

Ok, I'll try and explain what I'm after! I run a classic car forum, which forum aside, is based around articles. We have articles (records) which are asigned to either two databases: Members cars Car reviews. For the car reviews, when adding a new record (article) I'd like there to be a kind of default layout for the record. I want to have fields for the following; performance data (eg: 0-60mph, top speed, fuels economy, practicality etc) all set out in a list/grid. what to check for (another list/grid: Exterior, interior, engine, chassis) this would be fields that allow for text to be added I've added an example of what it roughly needs to…

Hi, I upgraded from v3 to v4 and am trying to customize the colors from the default color skin. The default IPB ACP editor isn't as helpful as I would like .. for example it's not clear in saying which color updates the title bars on the forums, sidebars, etc. In past IPB versions there was a very detailed theme/skin guide which had screenshots and arrows pointing to exactly which sections of the invision product would change based on the values entered, etc. Is there any such guide out there for version 4? Thanks!
