Is there currently a collapse feature built into IPBoard? What I want to do is allow users to collapse blocks (I can change the CSS/HTML for the blocks). By Collapse I mean press a button to minimise the content if a viewer isn't interested. Any ideas? Thanks

What I'm looking to achieve is a front page (the index) to contain featured records only from different databases on the one index page. From what I can see, you can only do it for one database at a time. Am I missing something?

I'm trying to add a database column when installing a custom plugin and it is not working. I get no errors when installing the plugin yet the database column is not added. This is my install.php class for the plugin (see step1 method). Is the double // on the first line okay? That was already there. //<?php /* To prevent PHP errors (extending class does not exist) revealing path */ if ( !defined( '\IPS\SUITE_UNIQUE_KEY' ) ) { header( ( isset( $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] ) ? $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] : 'HTTP/1.0' ) . ' 403 Forbidden' ); exit; } /** * Install Code */ class ips_plugins_setup_install { /** * ... * * @return array If return…

Hello, I am having some issues with translation, more precisely the part where it says "You and X others like this". How it works in English: However in my language (bulgarian), You and the number are combined and there is no "and" between them: Any idea what went wrong? I have looked at all possible strings to see if I missed something, but everything looks ok. Here are the translation strings related to liking, I have preserved all special symbols and translated everything: Same problem in notifications as well.

We purchased simple mod in the marketplace that allowed members to view the contents of a forum in IP.Board 3.x , if they had 10 posts. It was a great incentive for participation. Noticed in IPS4 you have a similar option but the forum is not visible until the nominated posts are made first. Is there a way that a member can see the forum but not the threads/posts until they reach the desired number of posts?

How does one edit the forum icons/images in a forum (we had this in version 3.4.x -- not sure if it was an addon or not) but if I wanted to customize the icons/images for our forum in 4.x, how does one go about doing that? Thank you in advance, Jason

I am surprised I cant find a thread on this, however in the run up to migrating to V4 we would like to do a bit of a PR exercise to sell the upgrade to the members, to offset the resistance to change and inconvenience of the migration process. Can people who have effected the change make some comments on the benefits of the new version to members, particularly those more averse to change! This can include benefits to the site staff, as the members are on the whole very supportive of our moderators. Daniel

what would cause this issue i cant seem to make this work i upload the twitter but it than will tell u to redownload your ipb but that will not fix it Some of the source files for IPS Community Suite have been modified. public_html/system/Login/Twitter.php >>>>> Twitter.php witch i download it and upload still having issues This can be normal if you have applied a patch to these files, however if you do not recognize the changes, you should download an unmodified copy of those files and upload them to your server. Once that is done, check if the problem persists.

I think it'd be great if there was a way to specify whether an ad should be displayed on a mobile device.

I currently have advertisements placed at the page header, footer & after the first post in a topic. If I wanted to place an advertisement in the middle or near the bottom of a topic where would I place that in the html code for the theme? Same question for the Forum. Thanks! I did read this so I understand the "key" part but I'm not sure where to place it. Thanks!

Hello everyone! So I recently updated from IPS 3 to 4 and am attempted to do two things that I had previously done in IPS 3. Add new fonts to the font dropdown on the editor. Add customized colors to the default color picker on the editor. Both of these things are relatively easy changes to CKEditor that can be found in their documentation here and here. My trouble comes next. Once I create the .zip to upload to the CKEditor "Add Button" area, I get the error that the button already exists (they both come with the default IPS). Is there any way to do any of the following things... Force an overwrite the existing buttons? Remove an ex…

There is a bug in RSS feed -> group permissions are ignored. If you have hidden rubrics for some member groups the rss feeds shows all topics. So you have to select every single rubric you wanna see or not in rss feed.

Is there a listing of "usable" coding that can take the functional place of the BBCode we lost? I keep reading that HTML will function within the CKEditor within the general perimeters, but I can't seem to get the simplest of functions like <img src="" align="left"> to work properly. I also tried using CSS with <div> coding and that failed too. Help?

We recently decided to start using a tagging system. Right now we're looking at tagging possibly thousands of posts individually. Is there a way that anyone knows of (plugin perhaps?) that would allow us to add a given tag to either all selected posts, or all posts on a single sub-board?

I opened a support issue, but they said it was out of the scope of what they support, so I'll post here. I need to do some bounced email cleanup. I figured setting "Send me news and information" to no for each user with a bad email would be sufficient. Looking at core_members, I assumed "allow_admin_mails" would be the answer. However, switching "Send me news and information" on and off appears to do nothing to the value of that column. Where is "Send me news and information" in the database? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I just noticed something odd happening ever since I am on 4.1.14 Whenever I select some text, it starts to put "abc" continuously at the bottom of the post. However, this only happens whenever the "Quote this" pops up. Watch it happen in the video: Anybody has any idea what could be going on? This is the first time I've ever seen this happen

Hello ! How can I proceed to remove all topics subscriptions for one member ? In the ACP, I edited his account and in Notifications, I disabled all options. But This morning, I see in my WHM/Email/Email Queue Manager that this member is still being sent notifications (it's an email about the new content in one day)... So, how should I proceed now ? Thank you !

I am having a little problem with my database on pages. From what I can see any articles are only visible to Admin. So when I view the front page (using the Database block, with the Articles Database with 3 records in) Views as an admin it displays as expected. However, when viewed as a forum member, or guest, it doesn't display anything on the page. I have checked the database permissions, and guests and members (as default) can both see the database and view records. However, as soon as I login as admin, the page is populated with the records and displays as desired. If i go to 'Page' then articles.html and click permission, all are ticked. So i a…
