Is there any scope for adding a caption using with ips.ui.lightbox? I'm setting up some images detailing how to find our headquarters and I like the idea of it being with lightbox, so that you can scroll through them like ticking off instructions in order. In some cases I can add text to the image itself: But in other instances the text would be too lengthy to be visible like this on mobile. I'd rather be able to add a caption instead but I'm not sure it's possible with the functionality. Does anybody know whether it's possible and, if so, how would I do it?

When you click on the "Unread Content" link/button is there a way to just mark a topic/post as "Read" so it will be removed from the unread content? Sometimes I or my members don't want to read something and just want to show it "Read" without actually going to the topic. Thanks for any help with this

I am sure this is simple and I'm overlooking the obvious here, but my brain is fried and I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the text, Welcome to Pages! To get started, make sure you are logged in and click the arrow on the left hand side to expand the block manager. You can move, add and edit blocks without the need for complex coding!" from the articles page. I went into Manage Blocks, but that didn't work as it is part of the articles list. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I did as you told me I needed to do prior. Here is a quote from another ticket. " Hello Mary, You can certainly still use Paypal as a payment method within Commerce. What my colleague is referring to is a previously offered product of Paypal called IPN, this was something only available on version 3 of our software and is not longer available on version 4 because we upgraded it to use their new API to "talk" to Paypal. Unfortunately though, your Paypal is not setup correctly to continue using it as a paypal method and you will need to update it by following the directions at: https://invisionpower.com/4guides/suite-applications/commerce/getting-the-bas…

Hi! What's the best way to add an RSS feed block to a forum module? The forum is https://www.alfredforum.com which is our Alfred users' community. I'd love to add in a block above the forum sections, where I can insert the RSS feed for our blog, allowing users to see a summary of the latest blog post or two (which highlights new features, shares tutorials, etc) We're using the cloud-hosted version of IPBoard, if that makes any difference to what functionality is available to us. Thanks in advance Vero

Often, moderators move the topic to a restricted sub-forum where only advanced users have access. I would like the common user who created the topic to have full access only in the moved topic and also to view the list of topics in this restricted sub-forum. I tried disabling "Users can see topics posted by other users?" And enable "Users without read permission can open forum?" That almost worked. The ordinary user can view and publish the topic created by him. Unfortunately, I can not see the other topics in this sub-forum (I want the normal user to see the list of other topics in this restricted sub-forum and only have access to his topic). Doe…

Moved from 3.4.x to 4.0.13.1 last week. When in the editor, my smileys show: But I can't see all of them unless I go to the Categories and select the default group: And now all will show with the scroll bar: My question is --- how can I get them all to show (with scroll bar) by default -- the group name for the emoticons (as you can tell by the screenshots) is the exact same group: "core_emoticon_group_default" -- it just won't show all to begin with and I'd like the last screen to be how it shows when one clicks on the emoticon icon in the editor toolbar. Thank you in advance for your time. Jason

So the other day one of my friends tagged me in a post on their own wall. My facebook status is synced to my profile on my site. That status update that I was tagged in showed up as a status update in my site's feed. I don't think it's supposed to work that way.

I've learned during my short tenure as a Member of this Forum that many if not most Members are very savvy as far as backend script and coding, and generally comfortable fooling with the IPS software, including using the available Plug Ins. Count me as being not one of those Members...I'm mainly a front-end owner, Administrator, Moderator of a Board/Forums. Haven struggled along with the old software Ikonboard for way too many years prior to an IPS Conversion, I'm a bit flinchy let's say. I simply prefer to stay native to the IPS software, as is, rather than risk incompatibilities or glitches upon Upgrades and when "customizing" the software. But occasionally there is a f…

How to control Guest access to clubs? For "regular" forums it's done in the Group-setting but I don't see Clubs listed. The club-setting (Open/Public/Closed..) also impact registered users and I just want to block Guests from accessing Clubs. Any ideas?
