I am quite stuck with something: All logged in Members can edit each and every entry in all Pages Custom Databases. Edits are made final without any moderation approval. I've disabled the ability to edit and add content in the database permission set but the "edit" button still shows. The usergroup of course cannot bypass moderation. As far as I understand this permission mask NO ONE should be able to edit or add records. Still the button to edit a record is available to each member. Any tips? Thanks Edit: Hm I found that if I disable the wiki-style mode the button disappears. Is this by design? I was expecting that the wiki-s…

Hi, I"m wondering if it's possible to allow only a specific member to post information in a database vs setting up an entire new membership group? I would actually like to allow specific members to add articles to specific categories. So if I have a person who wants to write about Star Wars, then there would be no need for them to have the ability to publish to Star Trek.

Why would an API user have their IP banned over and over? I keep removing it from the list, but its constantly just banned once more. Other than in Ban settings, where else would I remove the ban? I have allowed the setting to use any IP with that particular API key. What happened was, the user has been using the api for a while now, but we had to change his key, he accidentally used the old one for a few queries and got banned. Now that hes using the new one, hes constantly having his IP re-added to ban list.

Hi all, Gallery has multiple sorting options when viewing a category or an album, but not once you're inside of the album. Our issue here is that our community users tend to post Comic strips that they're creating, and whenever they upload a new page, it's placed to the left or right at random of the last page, rather than simply to the right. Is there a way to fix or force this, so that once you're inside an album it places the new pages to the right, rather than the left? For instance, the album appears properly sorted from the outside: But not once you actually click to view a page: Thanks for any help or suggestions! Image…

How can you change a header background image on CIC in 4.2.5? The plug in Header Backround no longer works (well it does on one site, it borked the other one and I can't see a difference between the two), it's unsupported so I don't want to bug the author. Are there any other plug ins that can change the Header Background image?

Hey guys, So i am feeling like the biggest idiot right now. I am trying for 6 hours to output the frickin category name and link for a article listing in a block template for the news listing. I cannot find any decent documentation anywhere and using print_r to outpur $record didn't help much, since I really do not see how I could output the array stuff since the information is not there (title for example, that is somehow being generated by $result->_title despite not being part of the array) or strange IPS\cms\Records1 Object ( [displayTitle:protected] => [displayContent:protected] => [recordPage:protected] => [customD…

Hi, I've installed two languages in my forum. Is it possible to open a forum page with the non-default language? i.e. with a url parameter. Like: my-forum.com/forums/page-url?langid=2 Or much better: Is there a way to detect the browser language and open a forum url using this language? This would be great to have.

back in the 3x era when the modern file system was being developed folders initially got named monthly_MM_YYYY and in later versions it became more normalized to monthly_YYYY_MM which sorts better. Any magic clean up tool that can go thru the uploads directory and refactor these folders to current standards, and potentially move orphaned files to a different directory?

Ok. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I tried a few things that didn't work out. So I thought it would be worth asking. How can I convert one of my subforums into the main website page, the home page. I want that, for example, mydomain.com/index.php goes directly to mydomain.com/?/forum/15-mysubdomain/
