I read Form Help (cf : https://invisionpower.com/4docs/advanced-usage/development/form-helper-r77/) but there is no doc where to hook the create new topic form to add our custom field. How can I do this ? Thanks.

On IPB 3.4, there was this code that could be added to the themes to make the usernames for certain groups animated rainbow-colored. http://designscore.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-to-easily-cycle-rainbow-username-on.html Is there any way this could be adapted to work for IPB 4.1 ?

Hi! I was wondering if there was any way I could add an "Anchor" button to the WYSIWYG Editor. This is pretty much essential so that we can set up Table of Contents bits on our wiki. Here's the very heavily work in progress home page of my website's wiki: http://www.tyrenale.net/wiki/portals/home-r2/ Thanks! Any feedback on the layout, etc of the page thus far as well as categories would be useful too. Keep in mind the entirety of this project is nowhere near fruition.

Hello Since I upgraded to version 4, a few members who have AOL receive emails which have no content except a message like this (I'm translating and it may not sound very English...) : This message can't be shown because of it's format. Please ask the sender to send it again using another format or another software. multipart/alternative I don't know AOL. Is there something which can be done ? Thank you

However in our settings we have four images which we would like to use as you can see below. It worked up until today. Anyone know the problem.

I have a really powerful dedicated server running my website and yet the speed is terrible. It takes more than a minute sometimes to load a page. Intel i7-4790Ki7-4790K 4/8t 4,0 / 4,4 GHz 32 GB of RAMDDR3 1333 MHz 2 x240GB of SSD SOFT Those are the specs. My host is reputable as well, it's OVH. Any idea why it's running so slow and how I can improve it?

Using Mamp, duplicated my 3.4.9 production site locally. Ran the 4.1.10 update everything went fine, no errors including the DB conversion. Can log into the admin center no problem but when I go to the site other than the main forum page, I get "Not found, the requested URL /p15d24ph_forum/forum/4-p15-d24-forum/was not found on this server". If I try to log in I get a p15d24ph_forum/login/ as not found.." Every page I try to access has the same error. It's still running all the background processes if that makes a difference. What did I miss?

I had to change a folder name on my website and thus I need to make a 301 redirect so the search engines do not penalize me and any links on external websites still work... Old folder: /old New folder: /new Both of the rewrites below work, but which one is the best one to use so that for instance Google will know this is a 301 redirect and eventually stop indexing the old folder? RedirectMatch 301 old/(.*) /new/$1 RewriteRule ^old/(.*)$ /new/$1 [R=301,NC,L] Even though both work as advertised, which one is the correct one to use for SEO purposes? TIA!

Just tried to upgrade my old ipb3.4 in a test environment: no chance to get it running locally so I had to create a backup version on my webspace.

Hi people, I've just brought our forums up-to-date, going from 3.4.X to the latest. From what I've seen of other's forums you're able to modify the design, layout and add in blocks. With that said, I don't seem to have a "magic wand" button on my theme to access the Easy Editor nor an arrow on the left side of my forums to add/modify blocks. Is there something I'm missing?

My site currently uses 3.x and Nexus to sell themes, however instead of using the Nexus storefront to browse products, I've coded my own external php pages (not integrated with IP.Board). A visitor simply clicks the green "Download" link on my website, and the product is added to their cart in nexus. They are also redirected to their cart after clicking the link. I'm currently using this code to add a product to my 3.x Nexus cart: <a href='http://www.site.com/forums/buy_skin.php?id=10'>Purchase theme</a> The code which powers the link is: <? define( 'IPS_PUBLIC_SCRIPT', 'index.php' ); define( 'IPB_THIS_SCRIPT', 'public…

Hello ! My idm_screenshots directory is located at the same level than public_html. I mean that if I look inside the user directory, I have : ... idm_downloads idm_screenshots public_html (which contains all my board's files, except downloads and screenshots files) ... and other directories. The problem I have is that the screenshots I publish don't appear in my downloads section. When I select the screenshot image and upload it to the server, I only see a white square... Everything is ok with the files which have been published before my upgrade from 3.4.8 to version 4. The problem is only occurring with newly sen…
