Hi all Having abit of a strange issue with our forum and the Image displayed by Facebook when its linked.. I understand it used a meta tag og:image, ive taken a look in the html and from what i understand it looks like its meant to show the forum logo when og:image is requested (i may be totally wrong) But instead when we link to the fourm on Facebook / other social media sites which grab an image it chooses a members randomly uploaded attachment. Anything ive done wrong - not changed any of the below code. {{if !isset( \IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['og:image'] ) and \IPS\Theme::i()->logo_sharer }} <meta property="og:image" content="{theme="logo_share…

Hello, I will probably need a plug-in for this but I couldn't find anything related. What I would like to do, is to create a form where I can choose if a certain member gets a certain custom point and not to go to each profile manualy For example, I have a custom field in a profile that is called "Practice Points", the answer is numbered (1,2,3,4....) I would like to have a custom form where I have a list of members, and then I can just press if a certain member gets a point. Is there something out there that could help me with this?

Is there a way to change the inbox storage bar to show a numerical value instead of percent full? So instead of 50%, it would show "used 5 out of 10"

I have a largish v3.4 forum. We tried upgrading to 4.0 a while back but it didn't go so well -- many threads were crashing etc. and we went back to the old version after users complained. My ibf_posts table is ~500MB and It took forever to convert all of the old posts. What I would like to do is to keep our 3.4 forum as a kind of archive, and start fresh with 4.1. So, a new 4.1 board with no posts, but carrying over member logins/avatars/reputation, etc. Any ideas on what the best way to do that would be?

Hello, As of today, I am having caching issues that wont seem to disappear by simply deleting the cache file causing the error, which used to help in the past. It shows me this error: PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'C:\inetpub\edwebsite/datastore/cacheKeys.477c3d4e86.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\inetpub\edwebsite\system\Data\Store\FileSystem.php on line 98 I am uncertain what to do to resolve this issue, I had to set the caching to "No Caching" to fix the problem for now, but I'd like to enable it again soon. Anybody have an idea how I can solve this, going into the FileSystem file doesn't really make …

There was a place where I could hire someone to do some custom work, but I can't find it. I've got over 40 different background images that I would like to rotate daily. And I'd like to add more images as I create them. A few years ago I read a PHP book which had a tutorial on how to display a random image, which seems to be a rather routine thing. I know that CSS typically controls the background image, but this can also be hard-coded into the HTML template I think... basically where it calls for a background image, PHP can be used to serve a different image each day, using a database table which contains the image URLs. If someone can't assist me in …

Hello, This may be a stupid question, but the home page of my site is the forum and I'd like if it didn't show "Forums - My Site"...Just My Site. I looked around the AdminCP and didn't see anything, but I know I must have missed something. I just changed to IPS4, so I'm still learning my way around everything. I did a search but couldn't find anybody asking the question which most likely means it's something very simple and I just keep missing it. Thanks! -Cris

I'm about to move (some of) my images over to amazon - and the filestorage is setup and OK now - on AWS Frankfurt. I have images stored from 2002-2003 - and up - and theres a lot and alot more of images there. Today I have all my images on my server - and I take a back-up of all those images before I take the plunge and move storage, but my concern is - what back-up routine does Amazon have. In case something is wrong in a upgrade here on IPS - and all files accidentely are deleted from amazon - how do I find the backup on amazon? any experiences appreciated. Is it adviseable to have copy of each bucket on amazon as well?

In 3.x and below, we could simply use overriding permission masks to bar certain members from a forum or forums. In 4.x the permission masks are gone and while you can set permissions with groups, the primary group permissions always govern. I cannot use secondary groups and we DO NOT want to alter the primary group. What other options are there other than purchasing the Ban from Forums mod??

Does any know of a way, or a plugin, that will allow a user to click on a floating icon, or something, that takes the user back to the main topic? I know we have "Page Up" or "Back to Top" plugins, but that is only good if you are on the same page as the starter topic. I know there are also double carets at the lower left of any topic page if the pages go beyond the first page, to click on and you are taken back to the starter topic. But what if you are in the middle of a long page, or on Page 3 of posts to a topic, and the posts are 25 deep per page, and you want to return to the starter topic without having to scroll up or down to get to the double carets? Any…

Hello folks, I've been trying to figure this one out for about 12 hours now. We decided to go ahead and upgrade from 3.4 to 4.1 and I started that process last night. First, I took full back ups of everything and then I continued with the upgrade instructions in the documentation. Everything was going perfectly fine without a hitch until I ran into a message that a SQL query should be manually run because of the size of the specific table. That was done successfully, but doing so took so long that the security token expired and it prompted me to log back in. When I try to log back in now, I get a message that says: "You do not have permission to run the upgrader." …
