Hi all, My community is one for pilots. As a pilot it's great to keep a log book of flights and many do. (in an actual book with actual pages!) What I would LOVE to add to our IPS community would be an Online flight log book which statistics and maybe graphs can be generated from. They are fairly standard things, with Date, Take off time, landing time, start destination, end destination, and a couple of others... I have looked around and can not find anything that I could make work. I am assuming that there is a 'way' to make this happen and I am missing it. Please can anyone suggest where I might go from here? Many Thanks! Simon …

I've come across a few profiles on different websites where when you click on their profile, it show stats throughout the community, Eg, Groups, Clan Ranks, Age, Gender. How does somebody do this to their website?

Hi I used vestacp to set up a simple cron command to run every hour. The good news is that it is running every hour. The bad news is that it emails me each hour saying "permission denied" Here is my command (changes to protect my security) mysqldump -uMY DB USER -pMYPASSWORD MYDB > /home/myuser/web/mysite/public_html/dbbackup/mybackup.sql and here is the error message I am getting /bin/sh: /home/myuser/web/mysite/public_html/dbbackup/mybackup.sql: Permission denied any ideas? And advice? Thank you.

Hello, I would like to report a bug related to the tables and ask you if it's possible to fix it. The Icons to add or delete a row/column (" < x > ") are displayed displaced outside the editor. I have this problem in firefox and with Chrome/IE these icons are not displayed at all. In the screenshot attached you can see that those buttons are in the wrong position and very far from the table. How can I solve this oproblem ? Let me know. Thanks,

I can't get this to work. Every time I try I get a configuration error. I'm copying the server and port (url:portnumber) into the box and it isn't working. Has anyone had success at this?

I'm wondering, is the menu controlled by javascript now? I'd like to make my menus have a vertical dropdown vs the horizontal effect that comes with the default theme. Can I accomplish this with css only or do I need to have javascript changes as well? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi, I have a small problem. Just trying to add my own database display template. Now I want to show the value of a radio button field. When I use {$record->customFieldDisplayByKey('record_key', 'value')|raw} it also shows me the title of the field. When I use 'raw' instead of 'value' it only shows me the key of the chosen radio item BUT I want the value of it. Example: Field: "For Sale" Radio 1: "Yes" Radio 2: "No" {$record->customFieldDisplayByKey('record_key', 'value')|raw} -> For Sale: Yes {$record->customFieldDisplayByKey('record_key', 'raw')|raw} -> yes I just want -> Yes What am I doing wrong?

Whenever i try and edit the 'content' tab of a Pages block I get a message saying that 'this is a non-secure' form and I can't evert get a preview of the block. It happens even with brand new blocks using the built in templates. Does anyone know what might be causing it please? Edit: Never mind - found it.

I've ran a test upgrade so can see how long this is expected to take and after 12 hours this is where it's at - I wasn't expecting posts to be so low at 0.17%. At that rate it's going to take at least two months. I was also expecting to see that screen to run via cron but it never appeared in the upgrade - is that for something else?

In IPB 3, I was able to use a member data feed and use the variable $r['field_18'] to pull data from a custom profile field to sort members into lists depending on their value. On the new block templates, I am unable to do so. Documentation is almost impossible to find, and was wondering if anyone would know how to do so. Thanks! Code from IPB 3: <foreach loop="$records as $r"> <if test="$r['field_18'] === "1""> <a href="{$r['url']}">{$r['title']}</a> </if> </foreach> Code in IPB 4 (What I think it should be but is not): {{foreach $members as $member}} {$member->link()|raw}{$member['field_28']} {{end…

Is it possible to have thumbnails and article excerpts show up on the Pages home page instead of the layout that looks like a forum? If it's possible, how do you do it?

Hi, We'd very much like to bring our Wordpress blog (1500+ posts) over into Pages on our IPB installation (latest version) but have had one hell of a time trying to do it successfully. We can't nearly afford the $650 service by IPB, so I'm hoping to connect with someone here on the forum who has successful experience with using the converter and can help for a more reasonable fee... Please PM me if you're in a position to help, this is for a one man operation running a small community of kite enthusiasts. Apologies if this is in the wrong section of the forum, feel free to move as appropriate. Thanks in advance!

Hello, We are trying to use the REST API to add datas to a Pages DB in PHP with cURL . I don't understand how to fill the "Fields" parameter. The API reference says that I must pass a "Bejct object" (a bug maybe ?) Do you have an example for me ? Thanks in advance for your replies

Hi there, We've a reasonable sized IPB board (43000 members, 3.6 million posts) that we upgraded from v3.4.7 to v4.1.13 last night. The upgrade went fine, no problems, and the forum us running, just about. The background processes have been set to run by cron as per advice I was given by IPB support however my server is on it's knees with a load of 13 as I write this versus a previous load on v3.4.7 that seldom got higher than 2.0 even at busy times. Support have told me that my hosting is "weak" and that they can't help me resolve the problem. The background processes will take about 3 months to finish going by their current rate. I've looked int…

Hello, I work with the 4.1 version. I try to set a limit for the upload files of a Member Group. I set this limit it in Group / Member Group / Content / Maximum storage space per item of content But it doesn’t take very well. For example, I set 4 Mo per item of content. It displays Max file size 4 Mo before uploading. OK. But I succeed to upload a file of 47 Mo despite the limit. What's the reason ? Thanks

In the release notes for 4.1.13 it states: The placeholders that display on date/time inputs (e.g. "HH:MM") can now be translated. Does this mean we can now use a 24 hour clock throughout the site? If so, any ideas on how this is done?

Before I submit a ticket I wanted to ask here if anyone had a similar problem, and solution. My nexus donations - everytime someone donates towards a goal, instead of adding the donation to donations already received and displaying a total - it resets my donation received to the amount that was just donated. This just looks bad and I'd like to get it fixed.

I've been busy fixing a lot of translations in the forum directly from AdminCP and the word "Yesterday" from system is impossible to translate for unknown reason. I must've tried at least 20 times before I figured out something was wrong. Other words in same category like "Today" from system worked fine to translate but the only one to behave like this is "yesterday". I ran the following SQL query to check the database and 'word custom' was null. SELECT * FROM `core_sys_lang_words` WHERE `word_default` LIKE 'Yesterday'; I manually updated the database and now the translation is correct in the forum, but this must be a bug somewhere so I'm posting it he…

Following a test upgrade from 3.4.8 to 4.1.12.3 I posted a few times in a topic, I was unaware there were 4 people following that topic and they complained they received emails regarding the post. Now if this was my live site and I had members posting in numerous topics look at how many emails are going to be going out.. Is there any way to prevent this as I can see complaints happening.
