Hello, I'm trying to display 200 characters of each member's About Me profile info on a HTML template that loops through all the members, however I cant seem to be able to display the info I want. Here's where I am: {truncate="{$user->member()->['pfield_17']}" length="200"} I'm obviously doing it wrong, I'm sure it is what you'd call a simple mistake, but guidance would be much appreciated. Also, Using your correction, how could I show the a custom profile field with the ID number 23?

Hello, Does anyone know I would properly go about pulling specific custom profile fields within a block with IP.Pages. i.e. I want to display the 2nd and 3rd profile field but not the 1st and 4th, is there a template tag for this?

IP.board 3.x allowed users to delete their own posts, through usergroup permissions, but would not permit them to delete a post if it was the first in a thread. Allowing them to do so would, of course, delete everyone else's posts in that thread. It seems that in 4.1 there is no such restriction, and delete post also means delete thread if you're the OP. We are very keen to permit users to delete their own content (not just hide, for numerous reasons), is it possible to revert to the previous functionality?

This meassge is in my ACP Routine maintenance tasks are performed as users access the site but it looks like the traffic to your community is not sufficient to run these tasks on time. What does it mean? It seems contradictory, ie the maintenance task needs lots of forum activity to run? Then It is recommended that you set up a cron or a web service to ensure a backlog is not created. If you have recently switched to the 'Run Automatically with Traffic' it may take a short while for the backlog to be cleared and you can ignore this message. A cron job for what?? Can someone explain this? Thanks.

Is there a way of turning off the share feature? Its a bit pointless for my site as you have to be registered to view content so if you shared it on faceboook etc. it wouldn't let you see it anyway, but is still a process working in the background, just seems a pointless feature.

As the subject says, is there a way to list moderators of certain forums? We used to have this in version 3, not seen it since moving to 4.

My Navigation Menu's custom tabs are not showing on the forums but are showing on the live preview. Also, the avatars on my recent topics are huge, instead of the smaller ones shown on the blocks preview. Any idea how to fix these? New to IP Content.

I've got a couple questions here. Is there a way to set the default timezone for all users? How would a user change their own timezone? When I set my own timezone from the ACP to New York or Detroit it says it saves, but the time is still using Abidjan. I've tried to set it and save, then set it back to automatic, but it will still default back to Abidjan. This is super annoying, anyone know how to fix it? Update: I just looked in the database and my account has America/Indianapolis set as the timezone, but still the preference tab in the ACP are way off.

Hi all, I noticed the users online block is totally different when it's on the side versus the center. Here's my feedback about what I think we need to do. You'll want to always show the entire list of 'logged on' users and show the number of total anonymous users in parenthesis. This is already being done in the center block, but not on the side block. I also want to see the name of the search engine currently crawling my site as well, such as Google, Bing, etc... The search engine display should be configurable as enabled/disabled for those people who may not want to show it. The reason you want to show search engines is to understand if your sitemap a…

I can't find the setting in 4.1, I know it's somewhere but I've looked at my registration settings and I can't find it. People are joining my site with permissions they shouldn't have.

Hi We just noticed a problem All topics have titles like this : "Title of topic - Forum name - Community name" thats much too long ! we should be able to customize this to have only : "Title of topic" for example This is much better from a SEO point of view, as Google will only take into account the keywords of the defined title of the topic, and not of the rest How can we do that ?

We brought our forum live today and have noticed issues that a lot of people have been experiencing: Almost everyone keeps getting "signed out" when they visit the index page. The reason I put that in quotes is because they appear signed in when they visit a different page. Is it a CloudFlare issue? Members cannot sign in via the dropdown menu on the main page. They enter their credentials, then it brings them to a standalone login page. Does anyone know how to fix these issues?

I see its on this forum as well as a bunch of others but I can only seem to get sidebars on my pages app. When, I move to any other application it seems to force me out of placing any sidebars. Any help would be greatly and dearly appreciated! -Austin

Dear All Does anyone use Amazon AWS? I know very little about it, and what I have read has just confused me further, yet it has been suggested as a solution to my storage problems. I run a photo intensive forum. We have to be very ruthless in deleting photos to keep within our data storage (we are hosted in IPB Cloud) As I understand it, I set up an AWS account, link it to my forum and then, when members post photos they are stored on AWS and therefore don't use our forum storage. When a member views a photo, it is viewed from storage and that the entire process is invisible to members - it looks the same as it does now. Is that about right?? What…
