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?

Okay guys a bit if assistance needed here. I may be missing the obvious but in IPS 4.1.x is there a way of mass deleting old file attachments from the forums? I can do a search to show old attachments I want to prune but it looks like they have to be deleted individually. I've got 57 pages of files I want to prune so that would be a nightmare to complete. Any tips would be appreciated.

Is it possible to somehow force HTTPS for visitors except those running XP, or allow specific users to enable SSL for themselves? I purchased an SSL certificate for my site and set everything up, but because I use CloudFlare they "proxy" that certificate even if I have one of my own (upgrading to a plan where I can change that costs $200/mo). I would like to use HTTPS for the whole site, but I do have a couple users still on XP that would not have access as a result. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have just finally upgraded my site to 4.x. I use aMember for management of users as there are other components to the site that require sign-up. Under IPB 3.x it was possible to redirect the login and sign-up pages to external URLs i.e. the equivalent aMember pages, but for the life of me I cannot find this ability within 4.x. Does it exist? I see there are others using aMember. How have you got round this?

Hello, I'm new to using IPS' RSS feeds and wanted to ask how I should do this. I want to export topics from a specific forum on an IPS board (board A, we'll call it) in a forum that can only be seen by staff (for example). I want to import those topics from IPS board A to IPS board B to a specific staff forum. I also want the RSS feed (or whatever I should use in this example) to preserve the [hide] BBcode tags (from TB's Hide Content plugin) and the content inside of those hide tags (so it properly formats on IPS board B. How should I do this? RSS feeds? I'm not sure how to approach it and want to ensure I do this correctly. …
