Does anyone know if it's possible to prevent avatars from being imported from a URL? We want to avoid (as much as possible) users being able to get the server's IP. (I know some people disagree with methods like this, but we would still like to discontinue the ability to import avatars from external websites.) Thank you very much!

Has anyone made a block that streams Periscope? I have found 2 sites that have periscope videos embedded in them. While they might not be IPB sites it can be done. We plan on using Periscope as our main form of marketing our site and products. [Edit] I also found. node-periscope-stream (0.1.5) - Get details about a Periscope live stream peristream (0.1.7) - A wrapper around periscope.tv event streams, allowing you to easily access them.

Hello, I've just upgraded to v4 and now the mod i had which put on an Ajax "Thanks" button is gone. I see there is a reputation system which can be set to positive vote only - this could function the same as my thanks, however I have a few questions: 1) When i enable it i see a count in the bottom right of a post and it is grey and seems no way to click it... What am i doing wrong here? 2) Is there any way I can convert my thanks votes into these rep points? 3) Is there an actual thanks type plugin for v4?

Same result Even if I set the Forum Filter to "Public" it's missing Any Idea why it is filtering some topics?

Hello, I have IPS4 (4.1.8.1) running Pages database. It looks like all articles (or database entries) created by regular users are created locked by default, and can not be unlocked by the author. Is it possible to create new database entries unlocked by default, so authors can edit them later? Is there a specific setting for that? Thanks in advance PS: All permissions are set to enable Adding, Editing of entries and fields in Pages database.

Hello, I recently installed a new IPS board, version 4.1.5.2. I followed the steps described at https://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/administration/system/settings/login-handlers-r22/ to get the client ID and secret key to configure the Google Login. I have the client ID and secret key and Google+ API is enabled but if I paste the keys to the Google login configuration in IPS I get always an error like "Google rejected the details provided. Please check the details you provided have been entered correctly and try again." I don't know what I should do more or what I have to change? Maybe someone had the same experience? Thanks Tobias

If I have a couple of custom blocks that are record feeds from each category in a database, how would I add an "Add Record" button to the end of each block template that launches the database form to add a record to that category?

Hi, Please note that we have upgraded our IPB forum from version 3.4.8 to version 4.1.8.1. After upgrading we find that there are issues with links, quotes, images and avatars. Issue with quotes: After upgrading of the forum we see that Quotes in the new forum are working properly. However the quotes which are from the previous version are facing an issue. We see the older quotes being displayed as follows: [quote name='xxxxxxxxxxx' post='11111' date='Feb 22 2010, 11:15 PM'] Quote Text Quote Response Please note that this is not the correct way and we are surprised as to why it is displaying in this way. it was displaying properly in the…

I read somewhere that you can use Amazon S3 as file storage. I remember years ago my forum got full of images and it was a concern when hard drive on my server was getting full. What are the pros and cons of using Amazon S3 to store my uploads, is it slower to access images? I'm not worried about the cost of the S3, more the performance when members view the forums. Cheers, Lenny

I'm maybe missing something obvious here, but... I have a military history forum, and I have multiple groups based on army rank. They start as Private and work them selves up the ranks. I recently added a rank below Private, cadet, but new recruits are still starting in Private. How do I set the Cadet group as the starting point?

Looking for some help from the community: I need to make a new version of the Topic Feed Forum Sidebar Block which only differs by showing the last poster's avatar and name as we have a lot more people that comment on posts than we do creating them, however I do prefer the one item per topic format of the Topic Feed. If anyone could point me in the right direction as to what html file and or sql query is responsible for this block I would greatly appreciate it! Sincerely, Shawn Tierney

Hello together, my following question is related to the commerce topic. We want to switch to IPS. We are selling a product and want to use the commerce application to realize that. When we update our product it will result in a downtime. At the moment we use a different software and we need to add the downtime manually to the subscriptions. I am testing at the moment if it is possible to do it automatically with IPS4. My idea was to create a Block on the client site with an php code. With this code i want to execute a sql command which add the downtime to the subscription time. I found the table nexus_purchases where the ps_expire is located. If I change this value t…
