Hey. Im trying to insert a button in my toolbar that works as a button with a link. The following html is; and works well except that is wont be able to perform as a button, only display as one. The link that is inserted is from the trader feedback system and it would be cool if the button would allow a pop-up. Otherwise aa redirect to a new page is cool as well. <form> <input style="width: 300px; padding: 20px; cursor: pointer; box-shadow: 6px 6px 5px; #999; -webkit-box-shadow: 6px 6px 5px #999; -moz-box-shadow: 6px 6px 5px #999; font-weight: bold; background: #ffff00; color: #000; border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid #999; font-size: 150%;" h…

just signed up for the IPS Cloud solution and was setting up my board. The sales documentation claims there is a resident chat function, and that you set it up in the "community" portion of the admin site. However, there is no "chat " dialogue in my community section. Do I need to download a plug in. I have cometchat on my prior site, do I need to transfer cometchat here. I have attached a copy of my "community" grouping Thanks for any help. 1111Forums.pdf

good afternoon, i have recently just created a new forum and am curious if it is possible to have a tab other than the default "browse" as the "landing" page? i am in the very early stages of design of the site, but that is one of the things i would like to have changed. i guess to be more specific, how can i have the forums NOT be the page you go to when typing in our URL? thanks in advance!

I notice I'm getting a Yellow warning bar using 5.6.xx now on fresh test installation. So I guess I'm wondering when IPB is going to expire/drop 5.6.xx support and move into 7? I did see this update So I guess 5.6 will be supported in regards to security fixes for a couple of years according to above. I was going to upgrade my WAMP version however, WAMP is only up to 7.0.10 and php is now up to 7.0.15, so I figured I could wait a few more versions to let WAMP catch up a bit, but how long is the question depending on when IPB officially retires 5.6? I can switch in my current WAMP PHP set-up to 7.0.4 right now but I would rather wait till WAMP gets …

I am encountering an error in my test installation upgrade such as this: I do not think it is anything to do with the Beta version itself but my own database. I believe this is a database error? Can anyone decipher this error thrown? I moved my test installation from one server to another, this is why I think it may be due to something not configured correctly on my end. Any help is greatly appreciated. John Ok, never mind on the error, the upgrade took and completed. But, I cannot access forums, when I click on a category, the forum will not open. Hmmm, any ideas are greatly appreciated once again! John

As described, I'm getting spam via the support system on our forum - folks creating tickets with spam content. It may be obvious but I'm missing it, how can I limit the support system to registered users or by member group?

Hey guys, How can I hide a custom field in a record when the field isn't filled? I have created a container which shows 3 different images. Thing is the container is also shown if there arent any images uploaded. So, how do I make sure that the container isn't shown if there aren't any images that have been uploaded. I know I need to add a {{if $record section in the code, but I am a bit confused on the complete piece of code. Is there someone that can help me? Thanks in advance.

I have a user on my forums when logged in using the forums if he navigates the site back to the index using the logo in the top left or by pressing browse he gets automatically logged out. I'm able to reproduce it myself on firefox too. Has anyone else experienced this?

If a member is allowed to "Hide own content" should that also allow them to hide a whole thread they started when others have posted replies? I've just experienced that and I think it is very worrying that members could hide/delete others posts when they aren't Mod/Admin accounts.

I've noticed that if I go on to a thread that has twitter/instagram embeds with videos in them, the embed size seems to be larger than it needs to be & then it slowly decreases in size, this causes the page to keep scrolling up which is very annoying when you're trying to read a comment & it keeps moving! I seem to get it most often when trying to read threads on a mobile device (iPhone/Safari). Happens on the standard theme as well as my custom theme.

Hi guys, after few weeks of trying to fix our server crashes etc. we came to a conclusion that we simply need to change host. So, can someone please tell us what would be best host solution for IPS 4? We have around 40000 members and growing every day, but not all members are active so that number is lower in the end. Any help here would be much appreciated, thank you! Regards, Igor

Running 3.4. Want to finally upgrade to 4. My server is running ubuntu 12.04LTS. I am using default repos, so my versions of apache and php are quite dated (albeit continue to receive security updates backported under the lts program). What is the best strategy to go from 12.04LTS (php 5.3, apache 2.2) to 16.04LTS (php 7, apache 2.4)? My plan was to spin up a new VPS with a fresh ubuntu install, get it set up properly with current updates, and then copy over my web files and database and run the converter. However, I understood from a few other threads here that perhaps it wouldnt be the smartest decision to run conversion of 3.4 under php7. How did other …

Hello, I just installed v4.1.17.1, but cannot figure out how to display the sidebar in the forums. It's already enabled by default, but I don't see any settings in the ACP. Is this a known issue, or am I just overlooking an obvious setting somewhere? Thanks! Edit: Found it. For anyone else wanting to know how to control the sidebar, go to ACP --> Pages --> Pages (Page Management) --> click on "Open page builder" icon

Hi Guys, My IPS based site was recently hacked and they've made a nice mess for us to clean up by injecting .php files and editing existing .php files. By default, the datastore folder is empty in the IPS suite, so Im assuming all the php files in our install were generated over time by our community. Some of these appear to be injected but we're having a hard time picking out the needles from the actual hay. Can anyone tell me what these php files in datastore are for? For example there's one called administrators.2d044d0767.php or this one template_1_3db53200833e95cf9ba7ee49cd491e3c_trees.2d044d0767.php Are these normal? Is this data we should not keep? I could do …
