Hello, I would like to modify the quoting function in IPS 4 so that it quotes the content from the database of the post, instead of quoting what is actually displayed on the screen (just like on IP.Board 3.x and prior). Let me clarify. I'm using a JavaScript library called MathJax to display math formulas. For example, when I type $a^2+b^2$ in the editor, after submitting the post it will be displayed as a2 + b2. In IPS 4, when quoting this post, it will copy the displayed formula, i.e. a2 + b2 and place it in a quote block. Note that although what we see on the screen is a2 + b2, the content stored in the database is actually $a^2+b^2$ (this is what we o…

When I try to upgrade to the latest version, it says "2S107/1 The page you are trying to access is not available for your account." The main administrator already gave me the "Can upgrade IPS Suite?" permission, so we're a little confused at why I can't upgrade still. Is there another setting somewhere that might interfere?

So we're able to retrieve and post custom fields now but i don't quite understand how i can do that. I only got as far as using the parameters. $curl = curl_init( $communityUrl . 'cms/records/2' ); curl_setopt_array( $curl, array( CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH => CURLAUTH_BASIC, CURLOPT_USERPWD => "{$apiKey}:", CURLOPT_POST => 1, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "category=$insertcategory&hidden=0&title=$title&author=$this->memberid&fields[7]=$this->departure&fields[8]=$this->arrival&fields[18]=$this->income…

Hi all, I'm looking for some guide on how to work with the template engine in IPBoard 4.x, but couldn't find anything. This page has a lot of information, but only relevant to 3.x: https://www.invisionpower.com/support/guides/_/advanced-and-developers/ Also, in lack of guides, do we have some reference somewhere? Right now, I am managing by looking at the actual source code, but it's not optimal.

Hi everyone, This is somewhat of a bothersome thing. The Sort By dropdown in the listing pages has far too many options. The categoryTable template (where this is generated) doesn't seem to hold any immediate answers as to whether the sort options are even filtered. For example, our Tutorials section displays the following Sort By options: Last Reply Title Start Date Most Commented Most Viewed sort_record_last_comment sort_record_comments sort_record_views Title sort_record_publish_date Tutorial Header Image Difficulty Creative Commons Licencing Creative Commons Licencing Attribu…

Our site uses the all activity page as the home page, after a recent security update was installed it seems the far right suite sidebar was removed or disabled. I would like to have far right side bar back if possible, I've already tired enabling "Show the suite sidebar on this page" on all of our pages and that does not seem to fix this issue. Any help or suggestions with this would be very appreciated.

How can I change this FB share button: so that it shows a FB share button with counter such as this one? I copy the code FB provides for this share/counter button and pasted into the correct template but even though the button showed up without a problem, the link it was providing was incorrect.

Hello. I have a database (Pages) without categories, I use it as a ranking system. A few days ago I notice that every time I put a new entry, the block disappears (This affects all group, except admins) I have to reset the database permissions (which incidentally they are already assigned), and the block appears again. Maybe a bug? Appreciate any help.

A newer version of Invision is available. I can’t find anything in the ACP that checks for a newer version. There is no prompt to upgrade, it is completely unaware. How do I initiate the upgrade process in the ACP?

I'm looking to create an ad unit in my sidebar at the bottom, which becomes sticky as the user scrolls down. However, my problem is that when the user scrolls to the footer, the sticky element remains and creates an overlap, over the footer. I have been using the following page for information on how to achieve this: <div data-ipsSticky data-relativeTo='#element' data-stickyClass='StickyMargin' data-disableIn='tablet'> <div class="ipsPad_half"> <img src="URL" class="ipsImage"> </div> </div> Above is the code I am using. The first data attribute used is the ipsSticky which is the primary attribute, giving the widget the stick…

Since the 4.1.2 upgrade I've not been able to post images. The settings are unchanged for storage, and the images are still appearing on amazons3. But the board is doing this: Uploaded Images Upload Failed 2015-11-03 20.59.34.jpg 2.4 mb · Upload Failed AND this: " There was a problem processing the uploaded file. Operation timed out after 4262 milliseconds with 0 out of 1301145 bytes received" in an alert box... Has anyone else experienced any change like this since 4.1.2? It was fine on 4.1.1 I'm pretty sure.. Andy

I have a custom profile field for members' real name called " Real Name". This field is easily displayed on a topic underneath the member's username, however I can't seem to find any information on how to display custom fields elsewhere on the site. I would like to display the field in the members list next to the members' groupName, however nothing I've tried does the trick. This is the code that pulls the custom fields under the user's name in the (forum -> front -> topics -> postContainer) template file. {template="customFieldsDisplay" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"}I want to display my custom field in the (core -> search -> mem…
