Hello, We have a forum that SSOs with our platform. The issue that is occurring is if you refresh or navigate through the forums, you will randomly be shown as logged out. Pretty much the Login/Signup in the top right corner will appear instead of your username and other options. Although, once you continue to navigate or refresh (may take a few attempts) bam you are back logged in as normal. For starters, the environment we are on is the following: AWS AWS Load Balancer (with stickiness enabled) 2 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Servers NGINX + PHP 5.4 1 AWS Elasticache Memcache 1 AWS RDS Amazon Aurora MySQL DB On the latest IPB software 4.1.19.1 We hav…

Hi, I'm writing a IPS plugin. I have a theme hook like this: <a href="#">{lang="mas_mark_as_solved"}</a> And a lang.php file: <?php $lang = [ 'mas_mark_as_solved' => 'Mark as solved' ]; I have issues with this: 1. The link displays "Mark as solved" only in developer mode. Try to delete datastore content folder, clear cache, the same is always here. How can I do to have the link displaying new text update? This also applies for others updates. 2. Why default theme is not the same in developer mode as in normal mode ? Because of this, I cannot edit the CSS correctly because when I switch from developer mode to normal mode…

There was an error connecting with the chat room. Please notify an administrator. #CJOIN-0 For those of us not able to migrate to 4 just yet, are we up the creek without a paddle? No support at all? I mean we paid for this thing.... I haven't used my chat for a long time, and today discovered it is not working anyways. Getting the above error no matter what I do. Can anyone suggest anything, or is this maybe discontinued for version 3.x.x? Not showing any specific reason, and there are no logs...so probably hasn't worked in a while. But have a few members wanting to use it, and I can only go to 4 at the end of the year due to certain reasons. Appreciate any ad…

Guys, Here is a strange one. Tried everything and nothing works. I have member in Netherlands just upgraded to the new Windows 10 download and now he can't log into my site. He can come n as a "Guest" but does not have any of the posting permissions he once had. This is not happening with other members as we all live in the States. He did go to his laptop which was not upgraded and that worked OK. He went to a neighbors house and logged in OK. The neighbor did not have the new Windows 10 patch. He finally upgraded his laptop to the new Windows 10 and now he can't log into the site. First: I'm going to tell him to move to the US. …

Hi, I'm looking for a solution to export IP.pages records in a database into a csv file for download. Reason: I created a database for contacts management, but I will require the filter results for further operations, f.e. mass mailings or the use of the MS Word bulk letter function (automatic labeling of envelopes) Further information: I don't care about contents like images, associated users... plain text will be enough. Ideally, I press a button (only shown to permitted user), and the selected category or the filtered entries are written to file, that can be downloaded once after creation by permitted user groups. Has anyone an idea, how to m…

Hi guys & gals, First off, I'm a big big rookie regarding IP.Board forums (and forums in general). I just bought one off (within cloud) yesterday, to my surprise, after purchase, I did not receive any e-mail (you do receive one when you initiate a demo) for the adminACP logs. I do not have anywhere a "AdminACP login" section on the forum at its current stage.. although I just added "/admin" into the url and did get a login/password page. I never got asked to input an admin login/password so I tried logging in through my client credentials -- it doesn't work, I've already lost a day on my sub because of this. Now is it just me being a rookie or…
