My site currently isnt live. Im just setting up the backend .. I have 1 mod on my site 1 hook and a theme. When I try to view posts that ive already made I now get this error! All the setting and permissions are correct. Is this something I can quickly fix myself or do I need to start a ticket? Is ipboard really so delicate?

Is there a way to create maybe a custom field where you can upload a thumbnail image for individual records which displays the thumbnail on the resource list page? When I use the custom upload field, it only displays the url of the uploaded file, and not the image itself.

Is anyone here using the epay payment gateway? I am using this payment gateway on my current forum, which unfortunately still is a very old 2.3 version. I have been trying to test upgrade to version 4.1, but so far I can only make version 3.4 work (support is helping me, but so far no solution). I will have to live upgrade this Thursday, whether it will only be to version 3.4 og hopefully to version 4.1. And then I will have to integrate my payment gateway again. I haven't done that since last time 8 years ago, so I hardly remember how I did it ... but I was wondering if anyone else here is using epay gateway solution, and know how it's done? Or maybe using an…

Does anyone know or have an idea what may be causing this bug? It happens when you click to look at the notifications and the balloon compresses after seconds, fading all notifications. Initially I thought it would something in the theme, but it happens with IPB default theme as well. Cache issue or something...?

Hi there, my forum has hundreds of thousands of threads that I would really love to prune. I can't find any plugin aside from one, and it's not updated for the latest version. I bought it anyway just in case it would work, and yeah... it doesn't haha. Can anyone suggest what I can do please?

I need to find out from you great folks how to get Google Adsense bot logged into my site. I know you suppose to use "POST" function and username is "auth" and then password is "password". My problem is that Google Adsense is not logging in. But this is as far as it goes when you click Test login. Never completes. Is there something I'm missing?

Hi, thanks for implementing the definite/indefinite article feature for foreign languages. But how can I add an additional language string as described in the release notes ... ... without uploading a complete new language file. We changed a lot of pre-translated strings and don't want to overwrite them again. Is there any manual way to add those definite article strings? BTW, you can't search for ___defart keys only. I always see the __indefart.

Hello, I am considering adding a paywall to my forum. Since it is a photography forum, one idea could be to give access to the gallery only to paying members. What would be the best way to do it in IPB 4?

not sure if this can be done or possible but .. I have a hidden forum section only viewable by a particular group. Eg "group1" is it possible for "group1" member to switch other "members" of the site say in group "members" over to "group1" and also remove them if needed back to "members" group without acp access. I would only wish them only to be able to switch members to their group1 only . Not letting them takes members and change them to admins for example. thanks in advance

Evening all! I'm running 4.1.14, and find myself needing to tweak php.ini. Problem is, I've scoured every last directory and can't for the life of me find the file. I could have sworn it was in the root directory whenever I've needed it up to now, but it appears to have run away from home. If someone could tell me what the file path to php.ini should be, it will be much appreciated. Thanks! -Dev

Hi, We want to hide or remove the specific group names that appear under the members avatar as we have badges and it looks a bit silly. I imagine it is through formatting but I have no idea what I need to insert in the box. Thanks.

How do you modify the html in email templates? By that I mean the actual design and structure of it. Where is the developers resource for them? Where can I find premade templates? So many questions and 0 answers on the forums as of right now. It's getting frustrating.

Hello, I got issues with updating my IPS to the latest version. In preparation, I turned off the custom theme, turned off third-party application/plugins and made the standard theme that is provided with IPS the default for both the website and adminCP. Now, when I click upgrade, it downloads the files, and tries to apply them, and then the following error is shown: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught IPS\Http\Url\Exception: INVALID_QUERY in C:\inetpub\edwebsite\system\Http\Url.php:957 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\edwebsite\system\Http\Url.php(209): IPS\Http\_Url::componentsFromUrlString('adsess=c2gopreh...', false) #1 C:\inetpub\edwebsite\init.php(442…

Hello, I am somewhat new to IPS so I still try to figure out some basic things. One of the things I really struggle to understand is how to customise the registration form for my forum? I need to add several more question, edit some of the existing once and add a small paragraph at the top of it. I have seen several forums using IPS doing that, but I can't figure out where I have to press to have this editing power. Have a nice day to all
