As much as I love IPS4, the lack of SSO through wordpress and IPB is awful for my community. I should have waited. Is it possible to go into the login handlers through IPS4 and connect my wordpress site login with my IPS board through external database?

Hello ! I've just upgraded to version 4.1.9 and I found I have a few missing text. For example, in quotes, the text which says "On 5 septembre 2013 at 6:53 PM, Albert said:" doesn't appear. Here is a screenshot : It does appear if I choose to use English language, so I believe the translation doesn't exist ? I tried to translate it in the ACP/Customization/Languages, then French, then Translate and clic on the "Untranslated" button, but I can't find it... Can you tell me how to fix this ? Thank you !

Hi, on my Forum I have a jquery based popup, which notifies users about new posts on my website. After the last update (from 4.1.8 to 4.1.9) it does not work well anymore. It freezes my forum homepage for at least 10 seconds, then it shows up (it was showing up immediately before the upgrade) but I can't open the user's menu. Has something regarding jquery changed? Thanks Alex

Just realized that most of the other 4.1.x versions are showing the "Like" system and the ability to like posts and see who has liked them when viewing. My 4.1.9 board has nothing like this showing. Is this CSS I'm missing? A plugin I need to install? A glitch...?

When we have forums that for certain member groups can be viewed but posts within them cant be viewed we can add a message. However the message always shows an error code after it and also says, sorry there is a problem which I think makes it appear as though something is wrong with the site ( if you get my drift) . SO... does anybody know how we can remove these things so we simply have our own message which is much nicer and I think would be much more professional?

Hello all, Now all of a sudden, my Google Ads do not show up on my homepage WHILE on mobile view. However, if I navigate to any other part of the website, the ads show up while in mobile view. It is only the homepage they do not show up. Desktop view, everything works without a problem. Any reason why the ads will stop working on the homepage while on mobile view only?

Just like the title says is there any way to blacklist the use of some email domains? Some email companies I'm really getting sick and tired of fighting all the time for being removed from blacklist because members are lazy. I've notified members on the site that we send out monthly newsletters and presto without fail we end up blacklisted. So I'm to the point I want to block the use of these email domains on the site because I'm unable to be removed from the blacklist at this time. Rather fed up with free email accounts.

So, after upgrading to 4.1.9, all my members are getting notifications every time someone they follow posts a status update. What's up with that? The upgrade changed the notification settings for all the members of my community.

Since updating to the newest version yesterday the quoting has changed to just quoting the post you are replying too. If there are quotes in a post they are not included. It's the same on this forum here so is there a new setting or is this a bug?

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 .

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.
