I cannot set up registration tracking (Goals) in Google Analytics. I've tried every method in GA (expressions, begins with, etc) to no avail. It seems the link that is sent in emails for completing registrations is a redirect that does not contain the GA code. I searched the support forums for a fix, but only found people with the same issue and no solution. I already asked support the same thing, but they refused to help, stating it's "out of scope". What is the fix? I'm using V.4.1.5.2

Hello ! Is there a way to get rid of the "What's New in Version" option in downloads ? It is useless (well, it is for me !...). It creates a modification menu which means nothing (see screenshot). The download button still makes you download the first uploaded file. You get an hardly visible link to download the new file in the "What's New in Version" section. When you remove the new file you still have the "What's new section" and it's text content. This is puzzling, difficult to use and understand... it is for me, so for my board's members it must be very difficult to understand and use. Is it possible to c…

Every forum member can adjust their notification settings like the ones I pasted below. However can admins set what is DEFAULT for all new members? I did not find it in the ACP. I only found "Default Notification Method" which isn't the same as the stuff below. Automatically follow content Automatically follow new content I post Automatically follow content I reply to Method to use for content I follow automatically A notification when new content is posted One email per day with all new content from that day One email per week…

Our forum: IPB 4.1.14.3 On a VPS running CentOS 5.9 Plesk 12.5.35 PHP 5.5.38 We're wanting to install the 4.1.15 upgrade. The installer finally gave us the news we'd been dreading: that PHP 5.6 would be required, which wasn't available in our version of Plesk. We contacted our VPS provider and they manually added PHP 5.6.26 and registered it with Plesk so we could use it. The issue we're seeing though is that as soon as we change the existing forum (again, on 4.1.14.3) our forum craps out. Just spits out: Fatal error: Call to a member function execute() on null in /var/www/vhosts/modsquadhockey.com/httpdocs/forums/system/Db/Db.php on…

I'm trying to use IPS Connect to make the user login to IPS from external app. Login shows correct response when I put right informations in the form, but when I check the website it is not logged in. So I tried cross login, but it did not work. I used cURL functions to send Http Requests. When I try to cross login, the response is : " There was an error processing your login request at one of the sites in our network. " How can I deal with this..? any idea/?

I have deleted some members and wish for their content to be removed also. However, all the posts have defaulted to "Guest" but I can see no way to "batch" delete them and as "Guest" is not a member, it is difficult to remove all the posts. Thanks.

Is there a way to allow moderators (not admins) to just BAN without using the flag as spammer button? In other words, sometimes moderators want to ban without deleting or hiding the banned person's topics or posts.

Hey guys, I am having a slight issue, I decided to upgrade my forum today. (Haven't done that for the past 4 months), and I've had no luck in doing so. I went to my /admin folder/upgrade and I got the following error: so obviously I created a datastore folder (/admin folder/upgrade/datastore) and I chmodded it to 777. I refreshed the page and I kept getting the same error, so I made one in /admin folder/ and /. I am still having the same issue. I am out of ideas on what I should do. Please let me know if someone knows a fix for this :/ Thanks for your time, and help!

Are you aware of any plugins for cloud version of IPS that would enable user to embed Steem post as a blog entry? I want to explore this to monetize my blog via Steem. I did find Steem login integration plugins ( not sure if it works for cloud or self host only). But that is for authentication only and not Steem content (which I would be creating in Steemit and embedding in IPS). Thanks for any leads you can provide! ~Jen

Hello, I need to upgrade from 3.3.1 to the latest version. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight as to what can I expect after upgrading. Will my current skin be completely removed, will I need to re-create it from scratch? We have a large board (4 million posts), I believe IPS can upgrade it for us but just want to know what I should be aware of prior to upgrading. My thought was to install the latest version as a test install and create a new skin for it (i'm assuming I have to anyway), upgrade the current board and then apply the new skin. We find the 3.3.1 mobile is pretty terrible overall and I believe IPB 4 is responsive and will ser…

Is there anyway to let members set the background colour or add a background image in posts in the wysiwyg editor? Maybe there is some kind of editor you can get as a bbcode and insert it? Would be awesome if it was posible. And another thing, I have made a custom bbcode which is meant to be a button. The html code is following <a href='{option}' class='ipsButton ipsButton_important'>{content}</a> However, when I press the icon setted for this code in the wysiwyg editor nothing appear. Apparently I have to write the text and then select it to then click the icon of the custom bbcode. The custom bbcode is meant to be as a Buy Now button. So a membe…

I'm integrating my IPS suite and my existing codeigniter app. They are on same server and domain, but IPS Suite's base url is a subdomain. I am trying to use IPS Connect to share login with Master IPS application by HttpRequest. I checked the successful response in my existing website, but when I access to my IPS Suite I found that it didn't affect the IPS suite(=no login in IPS). Btw, I changed the cookie domain in constants.php to share login status, and wonder if this affected this. Have any idea what's wrong?

Hi, i'm running currently a bigger site on VBulletin (4.2.2) and we started the 1st test with IPS. The conversion worked pretty well so far but we discovered an issue which could be a real show stopper for us. We ask our users to fill out some fields on their profile to provide a faster overview for the community responding to their requests. Those fields are shown on each post below their avatar. After the conversion we still have those fields in the members profile but i found no solution to make them visible in the posts. Is this even possible? I went through this forum, marketplace and used google but was unable to find a solution. Thanks in…

I might (read: probably) missing something obvious here but.... Is there a simple way to turn off the notifications that appear on screen such as the one in the attached picture? These appear even when all of the notification settings are set to "off" (or "X"),and with browser notifications turned off (or using IE11, which doesn't have push notifications...). Some members have complained that no matter what they do they cannot stop these notifications from appearing and I can understand why. So again, is there any way to turn them off? Am I missing something?
