I have a few PHP pages that were working fine in 3.4.x. They were very simple and just gave me a quick way to find records in my IP Content Databases that were missing data. Now in 4.1.x they throw this error.... Probably worth mentioning that I went up to PHP 7.1 from 5.6, not sure if that could be the cause....but I am pretty sure that these all broke right after upgrading to IPB 4.1.x ParseError: syntax error, unexpected '' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE), expecting '-' or identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or number (T_NUM_STRING) (0) #0 /home/mysite/public_html/applications/cms/sources/Pages/Page.php(1159): IPS\_Theme::runProcessFunction('\tfunction …

Hello, we wanted to upgrade from 3.4 to 4.X but we noticed yet, the old developer API got dismissed totally atleast from the docs. Is the old developer api still around / a thing in 4.X or do we need to rewrite all of our custom plugins? Best Regards

Hello, Now that I check Google Analytics for my site more than in the past, and because Google hasn't given keyword information on their basic GA setup for years now, I was wondering if someone out there might be able to give me some help as to how to get that information? I do have GA enabled in my site files, but I've looked online at site after site and the information is either outdated or incomprehensible. Apparently there are ways to get this information, but every time I follow the directions I run into an impasse and can't configure service X in order to continue. If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Hi, how can I sell a non physical item? I have graphics etc. that have watermarks but once a User buys them, he should be able to download them in full size without a watermark. Where would I upload the file he can then download so I don't have to manually do these things? Thanks

A bunch of the docs seem to 404 or some are randomly outdated; how difficult would it be to create two user profile fields that need to be validated against a third-party server, and approve/decline/add to usergroup based on the response? Or should I just use the REST API and have users use my own signup page instead of the native one?

Hi, so I am new to this site, and I just want to build a simple website, but I am finding everything extremely complicated. I am wondering how I make my home page (When I first open up my Site) to bring me straight to the forums? And how do I even edit my forums page on Page Builder? I see no option anywhere. Apologies for a noobie question, everyone starts off somewhere!

I enabled security questions for Admins and Mods… and I'm having trouble seeing the point. All of us have set three questions/answers, but we keep getting the same question each nd every time we log in. It's not even random. And the answer isn't obscured at all. So how much is this really doing? Why doesn't the question alternate randomly?

I am doing test migrations from 3.4 to 4.x and for some reason search is not working. By not working I mean not working at all, showing 0 results for keywords that should bring hundreds. Can someone point me to some steps to troubleshoot the issue? Maybe try to replicate the search query directly in the database? I guess part of the problem is that I am using cyrillic and my 3.4 database was converted form latin1 to utf8. Not sure if this is a contributing factor. But any advice will be appreciated. During the migration from 3.4 to 4.1 I switched from mysql to mariadb if that is of any significance.

We have quite a lot of Chinese content, and for searching this we tend to rely on Google. It's not ideal - some parts of our site are private, indexing might be slow. I was reading yesterday about this - looks like MySQL 5.7.6 onwards can do a fulltext Chinese index for x-character ngrams Is anyone doing this? Does it work? How feasible is it to set it up?

I'm trying to setup a page or block which would show Pages articles with a certain tag. The catch is the tag is a variable. I would get to the that page by clicking a tag in one of the articles. So I guess the tag would have to be in the URL. I'd like to achieve the same look as articles category listing but for tags. Any ideas?
