The code editor always seems to default to HTML. This is annoying for programming boards who don't use any HTML. I've found that the theme is responsible for this, and the html template at core/global/editor/code presents the main editor. If you hit variables, you'll see this: However, changing the string from 'html' to anything else doesn't seem to work. It always defaults to HTML no matter what. Would appreciate some guidance on how to change the default language.

Hi guys I want to add like two columns of widgets (blocks) at the top of the forum index. One may be sized at 70% wide and other being 30%. I tried adding more widgetContainer templates within dividers, but it doesn't save probably because adding a template isn't going to do it. How could I be able to do this in IPS4?

Where controls the height for tweets and Instagram embedded content? I keep getting random heights in the code, one tweet will have a height of 128px which cuts off 3/4 of the tweet. Another can come in at 350px and others 780px with loads of white space underneath. Instagram is the same. I'm having to edit posts all over removing the height from source which is getting pretty frustrating

Can anyone help? We use the IP Gallery and members are able to post their Gallery Images into posts by using the Insert other media -> Insert existing attachment method. Images added this way don't display on Tapatalk, they appear as a broken image with part of the image URL displaying. When an image is added to a post from the gallery, the HTML looks like this: <p> <img alt="large.20160917_160008.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-extension="gallery_Images" data-fileid="http://www.thewatchforum.co.uk/index.php?/gallery/image/592-spork/" src="http://www.thewatchforum.co.uk/gall...0008.jpg.52024126718bf9ea68e6e674ddd6ccf3.jpg">…

I am writing a plugin for Nexus, and I want it to make changes to a DB not within the IPB ecosystem. I thought it would be a simple matter of just doing "$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);" however that ends up erroring out with a "Class 'IPS\nexus\mysqli' not found" message. I suppose the question is, is there a way to tell the built in insert command in IPB (below) to modify another database not within the IPB ecosystem? Or is there another method of achieving the same result? \IPS\Db::i()->insert

I've had this exact problem before and it was supposedly due to a plugin, but I don't know which one. The last time it happened the problem fixed itself up within 24 hours. Any advice? Fatal error: Call to undefined function IPS\mb_internal_encoding() in /home/pokemani/public_html/theartistszone.com/init.php on line 125

I have a member (moderator actually) who reports that he is getting an error message when clicking on the 'Unread Content' link. I did test by logging into his account and did indeed get this error and I had thought I fixed this, but he is still getting this error (on two different devices). Anyone know what could be causing this?

Hi all, I'm extremely sure it's the theme I'm using but I've spent hours upon hours customizing it to my liking so I'd prefer to keep it and try and find a fix to my issue if possible. Basically when I go to my profile page and click 'Edit Profile' my birthday doesn't appear correctly and I cannot change any of the values. Here is an example: Would any of you know where to even begin finding the issue? I checked the database and manually changed my birthday but it still had no luck.

Version: 4.1.14.3 I have a board that got hammered by a spam bot, leaving me with nearly 900k spam posts. I'm trying to delete the users and clean the posts, but it's running at 50 per cycle. At this rate, it will take me a week to complete. I have the site running locally while I clean up the database, so I know I can handle way, way more actions at a time. Where can I adjust the number of actions per batch? Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Is there anyway I can set my forum to send me an email when a new post is started? I get one spam entry per day and am getting frustrated that reCaptcha is not blocking. At least this way I can login and delete in a timely fashion.

Privacy is a main concern on our site, but at the same time, our members would like to disclose their country, state, or zip code or any combination without having to give up their actual street address to the general public. With the "Address" field currently as is, you must fill out the entire field, you cannot just choose country and state and save. Or, is there a way I am not seeing, that would allow a member to choose variables they see fit for their own profile? I know we can have a "Location" field with "text". But then the profiles get cluttered with un-formatted interpolations of what our members think is appropriate. For example one member may type Sta…

I am currently using the cloud solution and I would need that the commerce module somehow contacts an external server whenever a purchase is made. Ideally just a plain HTTP GET Request. Is this somehow possible? I can code a plugin myself if needed, but how do i do that using the cloud solution? The documentation advises to enable developer mode only in an offline version. Thanks in advance.

Hello, today we realized that we got a lot of access denied errors (403) in Google Webmaster Tools regarding strange calendar urls. I don't know where they come from but they appear in hundreds of errors in WMT. The url structure is always the same: /forums/calendar/event/ID-title/?do=download&csrfKey=ae2d6787kvk88addn3b6ffb32f89 They all have those download and key parameters at the end and they are all not accessible. Where does Google has them from? Can we adapt ipb in that way that those kind of errors don't come up? I think I have in mind having already reported this issue a couple of months ago (in a ticket) but the…
