Since upgrading to IPB 4.0 I've noticed a lot of my users seem to be looking at a forum and not actually doing anything, so I logged in with a second account on a different browser, went into a topic and checked - it still said that I was looking at the forum index. I left it a good 5 minutes and it never updated. However, when I went back to the forum index it updated immediately and then seemed to track the topics I was viewing. Anyone else noticed this?

I might have something wrong here. I'm trying to strip the HTML from a blog article and only show 200 characters. It seems to work but I get strange characters. What did I do wrong? {{$trimmedValue = strip_tags($entry->content()|raw, "<p><div><span><br><hr><b><i><em><strong><img>"); }} {{$trimmedValue = substr($trimmedValue, 0, 200); }} {$trimmedValue} <a href="{$entry->url()}">Read More</a>

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…

I only found "Default Notification Method" which isn't the same as the stuff below.

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…
