Hello, While it is very easy to add a CKEditor plugin or a custom button in the ACP, I couldn't find how to remove a specific plugin or button (without removing everything by restoring the default configuration). Is there a way to do that? Thanks,

Just noticed on my board today that when clicking on a "x birthdays today", on the results page the age doesn't display but rather the code to determine it. ({# [1:year][?:years]} old) Any ideas? 4.1.9

I am creating a java based multiplayer game and would like to allow my users to log into the java game using their IPS username and password. I have the password hash and seed hash from the IPS database but since IPS 4.1.x no longer uses MD5 hashing I was wondering if anyone has some java code to combine the password string with the hash seed to create the password hash that is stored in the database?

Is it possible to set which types of attachments a group can upload? For instance, I want Admins and Mods to be able to upload ANY type of attachments, but I want Members to only be able to attach and upload images (png, jpg, gif, bmp). The way it is now, it's a global setting. If I set attachment types to images only, it applies to EVERY group. Now Admins and Mods can't upload any file other than images. I would think this is an option and I am just not seeing it. I've searched long and hard but can't find a setting for this.

I have a custom field that is suppose to have negative and positive numbers. I have setup the custom field with the type as number. However, the record input form only has the ability to enter positive numbers. If I manually enter a negative number I get a message saying to check the field for an error. Any ideas on how to best record negative numbers? I want to do some calculations on these numbers using php in a template. I also want to sort by these numerical values. The range of the numbers will be -100 to 1000 or more. Should it be possible to enter negative numbers into a number custom field? Is this a bug in the IPS software? If the number field is not th…

Hi I'm trying to create an additional way for people to login using the "External Data" base under "Login Handlers" I filled out everything correct and matched it to the data base but now I am getting this error message. IPS\Db\Exception: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 (1064) What I don't understand is if the problem is in IPB4 or something in the Actually MYSQL data base that i'm trying to reference. Any insight? I feel like I'm really close and this shouldn't be that hard.

Hi folks, I run a forum for militaria collectors, and I use a military rank structure for members. Validating members are recruits, then when they join they rise through the ranks according to posts. I've set each rank as it's own group. That way worked better for me. Private/Lance Corporal/Corporal etc. They stop at a certain rank, to progress beyond that they have to pay a subscription, and above that it's admins only. What my issue is that I wanted to use secondary groups, so in effect I could lump all the ranks into 4 groups of ranks as it were. So, Private/Lance Corporal/Corporal etc. would be part of OTHER RANKS secondary group. 2n…

I'm a noob when it comes to stuff like this. I know the id of the field, I just need to check if it's set to yes. This is what I've come up with, which I doubt is right. {{if $pf=$member->profileFields(pfield_2) == 1}} ... {{endif}}

Hi - I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with an issue that's come up following the last IPB upgrade. Prior to the last update I was able to click the "source" button in a WYSIWYG block, add code to create an embed-container which would allow me to add an iFrame which was responsive to the size of screen that the page was being viewed on. Last Friday I tried to create a page with the exact same code but each time I clicked save, all the styling wass removed and I ended up with an iframe that is tiny and sits in one corner of the page. The code had been using is: <style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.…
