Hi all! I have a block included on the right sidebar within a topic. I need to get the forum id so I can place conditional logic to exclude an ad unit within the side bar when a user views topics in a certain forum (adsense can't be shown on my off topic forum). I can grab the topic title from the block without an issue. I can also grab the forum id within the "forum view" fine (but not topic view). I just can't seem to grab the forum id within the block (embedded in a forum side bar). Can anyone help? Thanks!!

1. https://thesandtrap.com/profile/30849-rfkfreak/reputation/?type=forums_topic_post&change_section=1 is a user's reputation page for his posts. It looks like this: Note that he received reputation four times, but they all say they're from "alleztom". 2. When I visit the post in question (https://thesandtrap.com/forums/topic/78581-rfkfreaks-journal-about-golf-past-present-and-future/?do=findComment&comment=1278107), I see the four reputation points, but they are not all from alleztom (not that it would even be possible): So, is anyone else seeing this bug, too?

here's where the upgrader is stuck - any ideas? Incorrect prefix key; the used key part isn't a string, the used length is longer than the key part, or the storage engine doesn't support unique prefix keys public_html/xx.com/applications/core/sources/Setup/Upgrade.php::645 If I click continue or retry, the same results occur.

1. How do you set the allowed dimensions of the pictures? All I am uploading are being resized to thumbnail size, and I can't find the setting that controls this in the ACP. 2. Once uploaded, how do I insert them in an Article using the Page Builder? When I click on the Insert Other Media option, it shows only Post Attachments, Gallery Images and File Download categories -- and I can't see the pictures. 3. What is the purpose of the single image that can be uploaded at the bottom of the editor screen in the records view?

I have a long time, very prolific user who now likes to post controversial Personal Photos. And with over 10,000 posts, and probably twice that many nice photos, whatever he is using as his Personal Photo ends up everywhere. And I don't wish to delete all his content and ban him - it has been quite good. I created a new group and just put him in it. I prevented him from uploading a Personal Photo, but apparently that doesn't stop the "Upload from URL" option. I put zeros in the size fields for Personal photos. But nothing I do seems to stop him from getting a Personal Photo to show. My last option is to make "his" group unable to edit their Profile altogether. A…

Good evening, An issue was brought to my attention tonight, and I wanted to put it here before I raise a ticket. A member informed me they were unable to edit their signature. I thought it was weird because I could see and edit their signature. It wasn't until I tried to edit my own signature that I noticed the issue. For some reason, editing of own signatures is impossible outside of adminCP, which is a problem because not everyone has access to that CP. Is there a setting I have missed somewhere? Regards, Neville.

Pretty much as stated. I have a member who has posted thousands of photos. Now he is causing trouble, and I need to ban him. But all his photos are linked to his Flicker account. So, I am afraid he will just delete them all - or prevent us from seeing them somehow. Is there anyway to convert (upload) those photos to my server/software and save as attachments???

Hi All, I was wondering if there is a way to only allow moderators to see reports for activity under the forums that they moderate? Currently I've run a test and the only way is to allow a moderator to see all reports. It does not let the moderator then edit the content, but they can still change the status of the report. Thanks, J

Is it possible to adjust the base_url setting from conf_global during page rendering? I'd like to offer the ability for members to enable HTTPS at their discretion, but since we have a few still on Windows XP and we use CloudFlare, I can't enable it globally.

I've just installed the third great custom plug-in from @onlyME to improve the navigation of Pages records. This one is a "rollover preview" of the record's content, similar to the built-in rollover preview of topic contents in the forums. As shown below, my cursor is sitting on the record titled Wonder-Boy Features, where the link has changed colors, and a preview of its contents has popped up. This plug-in is a simple installation, requiring only a change to one line of code in the default Listing template to invoke it. I realize that my content is NOT sexy -- it is about 1500 pages of old marketing and technical information on antique lawnmowers and garden…

On the front-end, users can narrow/filter by both forums and calendars when creating activity streams... The back-end admin interface, for creating global activity streams, does not appear to allow this type of filtering... Why?

I reported to IPS that their registration page (/ips/registration/) is not a secure page, even if I have selected my login and admin areas to be https in the board settings. I think we can all agree that this is a HUGE bug--you can't ask for personal data via a non-secure page. My site's rankings have dropped recently due to this, and I received warning from Google about it. "Beginning in January 2017, Chrome (version 56 and later) will mark pages that collect passwords or credit card details as 'Not Secure' unless the pages are served over HTTPS. " Remarkably Marc Stridgen at IPS told me "The login over https would cover the login pages only, and not the r…

I seem to have a guess/guests reporting my members in spite of the permissions set disallowing that action. As well, most users are being served the toolbar notification that there are reported users, not just the admin (myself) and the 4 moderation accounts. What do?

OK, my conversion is all done. I now want to do the redirect but the instructions in the help files is confusing. I converted Xenforo which only has 2 files in the redirect folder index.php and proxy.php. There is no config file to make changes to as in the directions in the help file. Do I just overwrite the files in my installation with these two files?
