Currently the post feed widget shows recent replies and shows the same thread if there were multiple replies to it, but I want it to only show different threads, no duplicates. Sort of how the thread feed widget shows threads that were recently updated/replied to (if set to update like that), but Instead of just showing the thread and who made it, I want it to show who made the reply and to what thread. For example: Three threads - Thread 1, Thread 2, Thread 3 Currently it would show... 1. Recent Reply to 'thread 1' 2. Recent reply to 'thread 1' 3. Recent reply to 'thread 1' if the 3 most recent replies were to thread 1 …

Hello! Sometimes I need to find members, who have a specific word in their profile. For example, all members have a profile field called 'Company', and I'd like to find all members who work, let's say, at Microsoft. So I go to 'Search the community' page, in the 'Company' field I type in 'Microsoft', but the search doesn't go through, because I left the main "Search term' field empty (I left it blank because it's designed for searching through members' usernames, which is not my case). Is it possible to overcome this issue and allow searches even if the 'Search term' field is empty? (my forum is a closed community with the number of members less than 200, so an empty…

Currently, board moderators -- who moderate the entire forum -- can approve or disapprove topics. However, in the case where you've set up specific moderators to moderate only in specific sub-forums, is it possible to allow them to approve/disapprove within the sub-forums that are their purview? Looking at the options available, the approval-related stuff seems to be under the Content tab, and most of it refers to 'all' content rather than just content within the forums they're assigned to.

Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x98\x81\xF0\x9F...' for column 'status_content' at row 1 /**********************/applications/core/setup/upg_101021/upgrade.php::55 UPDATE `*****core_member_status_updates` core_member_status_updates SET `status_content`=? WHERE status_id=? Threw that error during upgrade. Clicked retry and it threw it again. So I clicked continue anyways and it finished the upgrade. Just wonder what the error is about and if it might cause any future issues? I censored out the path and the prefix obviously just as a security.

I'm only using a small part of this function actually but I wanted to post it all to provide the big picture. There is a part of the query in this function that finds recent attachments a user has posted to the forums. The block is on the user profile. IT works but the problem is ... it's VERY slow!! Core attachments locks up for 30+ seconds and makes my site unusable. Any one who could help it would be much appreciated. private function getAttImages($limit, $forumIds = 0, $fidsReverse = false, $topicIds = 0, $membersIds = 0, $order = 'attach_date', $sort = 'desc', $group = null) { $fids = ''; if ($forumIds) { $r = ''; if ($fidsReverse) …

I run a mid-large size UK-based forum which looks like it might need to move from its current dedicated server - a five year old 8-core i7 server with 16Gb RAM, 2x240Gb HDD - to something new within the next few weeks for reasons outside of our immediate control. We're running 3.4 but about to update to 4.1. The current set up has run smoothly for the last 3-4 years, but issues around getting physical access to update the OS to enable us to run 4.1 mean it may now be time to move on. We have around 1000-1200 users active in any hour, usually 250-500 in any 15mins. There's a decent size database of 8m posts dating back to 2003. And we serve around 1.5m topic views…

Hi guys, I'm looking for a way to have the results displayed when looking at the sites latest ACTIVITY results to NOT display results from specific forums (i.e., such as a tech support forum). I see that you can customize some streams based on forums but how do I do this on the main activity stream? Even better would be to have the option to disable that forum from all activity streams created. Thanks - Chad

I'm displaying content in a template depending on the member language. {{$member = \IPS\Member::loggedIn();}} {{if $member->language == 2}} Message A {{else}} Message B {{endif}} This works for logged in members, but is there a way to determine the language for guests?

So I uploaded a file into an upload field... and well, files get names that are not user friendly. Is there a way to rename the file when the user downloads it? Like for instance give it the name of the record it's inserted in.

We moved all of our files (for the most part) to Amazon S3 today and next we want to setup CloudFront. When configuring the S3 configuration setting in the ACP, there's an option for a custom URL which I believe we'll need, correct? What URL would I need to put in the custom URL field to make sure the CloudFront CDN is working proper with IPS 4?

We just upgraded to the latest version of 4 and it wiped out some of the settings we had in 3.4. One of the changes is that when a member posts in a thread, they now see all of their private info under their avatar - I have attached a screenshot. ONLY they can see THEIR info, and they can't see anyone elses, but needless to say users freak out and think that everyone else can see their private info. I know we went through this same thing when we originally dealt with it in 3.4, but can't remember which setting changed it. Thanks
