I need to get a few specific stats: top contributors per board, and top contributors per topic for a given time frame. Does anyone know of a way to this? Or an application/plugin/query that does this? I'd be willing to pay for help.

Hello, My website is:https://forum.grinderscape.org After updating to the latest version of IPS the buttons stopped working. To be specific, the theme button chooses at the bottom and the profile button, Can't edit/create topics/moderate content. A developer told me it is because of Jquery is not defined. Not sure what is that. I would appreciate it if someone can help with this issue. Thanks,

If a post that contains an uploaded file is deleted is the file deleted with it? I always notice the file remains. But then I thought I had deleted content active. Is the file deleted when the post is deleted completely after 30 days?

Hi, just tried to open a db entry creation form in ips-dialog mode. This doesn't work anymore in 4.2. We did this all the time with 4.1 because it's an easy and fast way for members to add articles and db entries. Does anybody else have this problem? ---- Doing this in 4.2 grays out the screen only but shows no dialog (except the dialog title).

I want to create an activity feed and then make that my forum home page. The thing I am looking to do though is only show the last post from a thread and not show 5 posts from the same thread. This would then show the latest content to lead people to discuss from different content. If there is a hot topic, the activity feed can show 10 in a row from the thread and that doesn't help. Is it possible to create a feed that only shows the last post from a thread so that you only have distinct topics showing? Kind of like my sidebar topic widget

Hi, Is there an RSS Feed Importer that imports the full content of the feed plus the image? I'm looking for something that will import news into my site and pull one of the images as the "featured image" in the articles database. Thanks for your recommendation and help in advance.

On our site we have a Quick Questions forum and as it is the first forum in the list users enter and post everything. Is there any tool of the IPB itself or a plugin that forces the user to post a question in the title? Exemple: If the user does not post a "?" , the system responds by saying: "It looks like you did not post a question in the topic title, your title does not contain a question mark."

Hello, I'm in a strange predicament, I have a thread on my forum that was started in 2004 that has warped into 10673 pages of ... I'm last as people just post away for 13 years! I'm getting ready to kill the thread, however, I'm getting some flack ... a proposal was given to me that I take the first 20 or so pages from the thread -- break off the last 10 pages or os of the thread and merge them. However, I can't break off the first few post into a new topic ... I have to literally try and break off the 10,000 pages and split them off ... in order to save the initial posts etc. 106,915 replies along with 2 million views over the time -- so it's sentimen…

Hey All, Hopefully title is self explanatory... but if not here goes. I've added a couple of forum widgets to my forum sidebar but they also show up alongside forums inside Clubs. Is there any way to control this? I've thought about hiding (wasteful I know) club forum sidebars in CSS using data-pagemodule="clubs" as part of a CSS selector, but this doesn't show when clubs are displaying embedded apps, such as forums. Appreciate any help or pointers - I'm thinking I've missed something in the design philosophy and this probably a simple thing to fix? Chris

Hi, only yesterday we found out that the rel="noreferrer" attribute killed 99% of our affilate revenues over the last 10 months. This attribute is being added to all external links, also to the affiliate links. The affilate companies rated our clicks as invalid due to the missing referrer. I know seeing this so late is absolutely our fault. No question. ? But why isn't this being documented like the nofollow acp setting? There must be a setting to remove this attribute from links otherwise affiliate links within postings could be invalid if the affilate checks the referrer. Yesterday we coded a JS workaround to eliminate noreferrer from exter…

I'm not strong in programming. Is it possible to add a direct url to the first picture in the topic in the meta tag? Let's say something like this: <Meta property = "og: image" content = "{$ firstImage}" /> What would have happened is something like this: <Meta property = "og: image" content = "/uploads/monthly_2017_08/12.jpg.7532595a79589bf54bec9696b828eb28.jpg" /> My goal is to get the picture next to the link in the telegram. Help please!.

Its superfluous and irritating, especially when in RSS feeds the title is repeated. Is it possible to remove this second title? The template doesn't have a separate title/comment properties, just one. Any ideas? Thanks all.
