Hi All, I am wanting to setup a widget that pulls stats from an API, based on the username that's linked as a custom profile field. By using the useful widget plugins above, I've been able to do everything I need regarding displaying the statistics, but my final issue is how do I reference the custom profile field value to populate the username they have saved?

Had to reinstall our forum and I restored a backup of the database etc. I am getting this though when I access it (see attached screenshot) It has this in it. I am guess something with the themes that were on it aren't loaded correctly. Is there a way to default it to the default one? Board version is the latest one 4.2.3 Something went wrong. Please try again. Error code: EX0

Maybe somebody can help me out on this. I created a custom field with a select box. I have two values and marked the custom field as required. The question now is, how can I make it to show the field empty (without one of the both created values)? Right now, if a user creates a new record there is the first value inserted in the custom field. I guess there is anything I could write into the default value field? Thanks.

I need to disable a language string, specifically the event_location which shows "Location" in the calendar details and I have temporarily just put a period in the box and saved that to not show the word location. Does anybody know what code if any could be placed in those boxes to blank out any language? Thanks

Currently the cookies set by the IPS suite are being stored with a path matching the suite location. So for example, if the IPS suite is at mysite.com/forums/, the path to the cookies is '/forums'. This means I cannot access these cookies from a different location of the website. How can I change the path of the cookie locations set by the suite to just '/'?

That will teach me not to refresh my own site while I am busy writing a post. Another admin figured out it's the "users can see topics posted by other users" permission setting for individual forums. That's not especially intuitive since typically of course we want users to see topics posted by other users. Unchecking that setting seems to fix the loophole, though. We'll keep fiddling and checking all our supposed-to-be-private areas, and hopefully that's the last of the loopholes of the group privacy settings. Earlier this month, we converted our forum from SMF to IPB, so the IPB software is still a little new to us. An issue that we are having is that …

Not sure if this is how it's supposed to work, but IPS4 seems to keep warning points on the user's account even after its expired. Any way to fix this?

Hello, I am offering a service in my store which needs to be processed by one of our staff members. Therefore we would like to keep the customers posted about the process with some sort of order status. Possible statuses would be something like "Paid", "Waiting for payment", "Processing", "Completed". Is that possible with IP Commerce or any marketplace application?

Hey guys. I am building a community on my own VPS server. I am getting fed up with viglink and their 3 day response time with vauge answers to my questions and lots of issues with their revenue reporting. Does anyone use CJ affiliates on your forum? I am looking at their automated deep linking tool. Basically requires loading their JS in the header and it auto affiliates any link posted on the forum that links to one of their affiliate companies. Amazon and viglink does the same thing, but Amazon pays crap anymore. Anyone use CJ (formerly commision junction) on their IPS forum? Any tips on loading the code properly? Link to their auto deep link info. I…

I have forums set up in the 'forums' subfolder on my website I don't have a website just forums On speed tests it tells me to avoid the following redirect chain * http://www.website.co.uk/ * http://www.website.co.uk/forums/ * http://www.website.co.uk/forums/ How do I do that so that if someone simply types in www.website.co.uk or website.co.uk it goes to https://www.website.co.uk/forums/ ? Every time I try to change this it takes the visitor not to my forums but to folders on my server?

It used to be that you could up / down vote at the bottom of a post, which has since been changed, apparently. On this forum I see the reactions in the upper right of the post, how do I enable that feature? I've checked through the admin cp and can't seem to find it.

Hi, I'm helping someone using IPS4 rebuild their website. Long story short, their host shut down overnight and they lost some data. I've restored the database and the board works. I'm having issues with broken images (like avatars.) Is there a way that I can reset all avatars so that I don't have broken images?

If there is already a setting to disable editing of topic titles per-forum, I can't seem to find it. I've looked in permissions for the subforums I want to modify but haven't been able to find anything. Can somebody point me in the right direction? If not part of core, is there a plugin available?
