For some reason I can't view uploaded MP4 and basic videos taken on devices on my iPad or iPhone. (YouTube and other videos linked via URL's are fine, just videos uploaded to the Board) When I click on the video link in a post I get a black screen with a start triangle/arrow in the middle but nothing happens when I click it. I can open uploaded videos in QuickTime Player on my iMac and view it. Any idea what's going on? I am on the most recent updated version of IPS Board.

Heres the problem, I was on my phone wanting to merge 2 topics, one was on page 1 and the other on page 2 so I was unable to use the checkbox system as you can only use if on the same page (feature request?), so I clicked merge under moderation actions on the new topic and entered the URL in for the old topic. Now usually I'm given a screen with what topic title I would like to keep but it just threw up an error saying topic title not valid. Weird, I went back to the forum and the topic had been merged however it kept the new topic title, topic starter and date. Obviously I changed the topic title easy enough and edited the topic starter user id and name in phpm…

Quite often I only need to press enter once, and some posters have a unique posting style compared to others. After an upgrade to 4.0, all posts look the same with every enter becoming a new paragraph. Then if I go into editor and change one line when pressing enter, it destroys quotes and makes them look like it has no padding (except when there are large gaps at the top of a quote when someone pressed enter twice now which looks equally as bad) As an example, someone is posting a starting 11 for a match today. It used to display like this Player 1 Player 2 Player 3 Player 4 Player 5 Player 6 Player 7 Player 8 Player 9 Player 10 …

Hi, I have a web application written in PHP where I would like to reuse the logins from our forum, running IPB 4.1. I'm trying to wrap my head around the usage of ipsconnect.php, but I'm unable to get a proper starting point. Does anyone have a barebones script that will connect to ipsconnect.php and send the passkey? Any proper resources to get me started would also be greatly appreciated.

Man it's been a pretty big hassle with all the requirements I'd had to ensure I met... anyhow now it's telling me this: Yet I've already performed the UTF-8 conversion a couple days ago to ensure I was ready for the upgrade. but I go ahead and click the button like a good boy for it to convert it again anyways and it just spits out: Error: mysqli::mysqli(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50544 Library:50623 File: /system/Db/Db.php Line: 112 So I can't complete the upgrade... and my community is currently inaccessible until then.

I'm moving my entire site over to HTTPS. Everything else is staying the same. Like this: http://www.example.com/forum/ To: https://www.example.com/forum/ I've already changed my site. But the forum I'm not sure how to update. What changes do I need to make to be sure that pages don't break? And how do I secure all the images and scripts that the forum uses so that all the elements on the page are fully secured?

My users are reporting that they are accidentally marking individual forums (via the speech bubble icons or the "Mark Forum as Read" link at the top of a forum index) as read. I once did this myself, and it doesn't necessarily need a laggy device to happen. In my case, my phone triggered a screen rotation and in trying to correct it I accidentally tapped the mark as read button. Is there a simple way to code a confirmation window or modal? Ideally, I'd then like to apply this to any instance of "mark as..." in my themes.

Hello, I have a custom field in one of my databases which contain a price. Now I want to allow the people to enter a price with or without thousand seperators and with or without cent seperator. So far so good. I added a text field with following regex: /^\d+(,|.)?\d{0,2}$/ I can enter a a price like 3,000.11. That's good but in display view I do not see any thousand seperators. How can I do this? I also tried the format setting "format numerically" but then the cent digits are being cut off. And I tried to modify the custom output code of the field to: {{if $formValue}} {number_format(floatval($value))} {{endif}} ... but ... nope. D…

I'm unable to find any documentation on this, but how can I allow forum users to embed web pages using an iframe? Under Customization - Editor: Settings - Advanced there is a field for "Allowed iframe bases", but I can't see any button that I can add to the CKEditor to allow this. The potiential security issues that comes with iframes is not really a concern in this case. EDIT: Running IPB 4.1.13.2.

I am changing the domain of my website and would like that to reflect on my IPS 4 installation. I have changed the domain already in terms of the hosting, however, IPS still believes that I am using the old domain as it directs to it. Would there be a file I need to edit in order to set the domain where the IPS 4 installation is currently installed? Any support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Oliver
