I have a problem where Activity Stream is not showing "everything". My Activity Stream (I do most of my browsing through my Activity Stream) does not show any of the Admin posts - I haven't investigated to know if it effects other sub-forums. But it is important to me that these come up so I can keep on top of Admin posts for obvious reasons. Currently the only way I know if there has been any posts in the admin section is if I go to the front page and scroll down to the Admin Sub-forum.. Everything has been selected so nothing should be filtered out. . I've taken snip shots of them. This is my an admin panel view with an unread post in it from 5 mi…

When I use the side panel to add a live stream panel to my site, I want it to autoplay, but to be silent. All HTML based code for an iframe and the stream code to disable autoplay or audio don't seem to work. After weeks of searching, I've been told I may need to add custom CSS to support disabling of audio. I'm not sure if this is something I can ask for here, but I thought I would try. Is there a snippet of CSS I can add to custom.css to allow for disabled audio on embedded streams? I'm trying to do this for Beam.pro - the basic code is // <iframe src="https://beam.pro/embed/player/661570"></iframe> // Very simple. But I'm not sure w…

I've noticed a huge downturn in page views on my board which has cut into my revenue since going to IPS. I believe the culprit is the fact that in an active thread it will pop up and ell you have replies and then just post the replies without reloading the page. Is there anyway to force that "replies" notice to reload the page? If not, I may not to switch back to my old forum because the revenue hit has been significant.

I've searched here and with Google and still don't have a clear picture of the persistence of \IPS\Data\Store::i()->myvar. Some have said it is cached and could go away, others suggest using it for storing plugin variables. If cached how often is it cleared? I'm using it to store weather data based on my user's location. When a user comes to site, if location is not in stored array, I fetch from weather provider, and store in an array with location,temp,icon,time. I then use this to generate weather info under everyone's profile. Need to store data to reduce calls to provider for performance and request limit reasons. I also check time of last update in…

Hi guys, I'm developing a new application for my board and having an issue with cURL timing out. I'd like to set a check on the code that if it gets a response code other than 200 it switches to another link I know works and continues the foreach loop I have. So for example: $response = \IPS\Http\Url::external( "{$url}{$worlds}" . \mb_strtolower( preg_replace( '/\s+/', '_', $currentWorld ) ) . ".jpg" )->request( 5 )->get(); if ( $response->httpResponseCode == 200 ) { $currentWorldThumb = "{$url}{$worlds}" . \mb_strtolower( preg_replace( '/\s+/', '_', $currentWorld ) ) . ".jpg"; …

Currently, my forum will list how many hours back a post was made. I would rather it list the exact time that it was posted instead. Is there any way to change this? I am running on 4.1 currently. TLDR: How to change from relative to absolute time listings on posts?

I have very large files being added to my downloads app on my site. Disks are nearly full. Noticing that changing servers to one with a fast giant RAID isn't very cheap. Looking into Amazon S3 to host externally. I also have a NAS with loads of disk space. If I can give it a dedicated IP address somehow I think I can get that to work.. >>>??? (maybe) Does anyone have any experience with this situation and can offer advice? Best way to manage large data files cheaply (downloads app)

I had it on my own site, but I remember it being a real pain geting a decent "tab" view on a page within IPB. I did recently find something that resembles something that I think would be work-able, but how would you create that with IP Pages? http://www.crowfall-community.de/crowfall/archetypen/ritter/?title=fertigkeiten Thanks Karl

Maybe not a glitch as such, but this is quite annoying and not very intuitive. May be just down to how i have layed out my forums, but interested if anyone has worked a way round this problem. basically when using the create button to create a new topic, it throws up a list of forums and subforums. Selecting a subforum is not a problem as the dropdown menu then disappears leaving the chosen forum as your selection....can't choose a top level forum however without having to click on the arrow to collapse the drop down box, which I think will confuse some people. In the example in the picture I am trying to select tree care forum. Interested in suggestions f…

Hey all, So trying to save my chat. My server (siteground shared) doesn't support node.js so babble is out sadly. Tried to install arrowchat trial but it's not showing on my forum. I think the issue is most likely in the header/footer coding so wondered if anyone with tech abilities can help me out? It tells me to - Adding the Header / Footer Code The following header code must be added to your website in order for ArrowChat to display: <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" id="arrowchat_css" media="all" href="/arrowchat/external.php?type=css" charset="utf-8" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="/arrowchat/includes/js/j…
