I want to create a dropdown link on the menu that open the sublinks on the secondary nav bar, just like "Browse", "Activity", "Marketplace" and "IPS 4 Resources". On the menu manager in the AdminCP we have only 4 options: Activity Stream Item Pages Drop-down menu External Link None of those allow me to create the menu that I want, just like in IPS 4 menu, as mentioned above. Before 4.1.3, I was using drop-down menu, and the sublinks were shown as drop-down menu and also in the secondary nav bar. After 4.1.3, the secondary nav bar looks empty and only the drop-down menu is shown. What I am missing?

Alright.... so how do we do this? I would hate to have to make a whole bunch of if statements to display a custom form for a pages database but there is literally no documentation on how to get specific fields to show to be able to make them more cutomizable. What I'm looking to do is condense a few of my forms to show certain fields in the same "section" instead of having all of the fields show up with their own custom area. The problem is the only data I can find is: {$input|raw} When I print the output it comes up with all the data I need but there is no explanation on how to get it to format appropriately. Anyone have any advice on a custom form to make it…

IPS adds a copyright link to every page of the communities. To better SEO, I would like to add a "nofollow" directive to the link. I don't want to remove the link, only add the "nofollow"meta tag for SEO purposes. I have tried to search the code on the template, but could not find it. I guess it's hard embedded on php code. Anyone has tried the same thing? Thanks.

Previously I could create random, latest, top item blocks etc etc. Now I can only seem to be able to make a block consisting of top 5 items. Has this feature been removed?

I'm attempting to add some click-to-insert functionality to the editor in 4.1, and I can't seem to find the proper combination of functions to insert and format an image. I could just insert the <img> tag myself, but then I miss out on the thumbnailing/lightboxing that happens when someone inserts an image by hand. Is there an easy way to tell the editor to parse new content (if I were to just insert the URL), or to pre-process a URL in the same way that CKEditor does it?

I am trying to turn on the Rewrite URLs feature in System >> Search Engine Optimization >> Friendy URLs. My site already has two .htaccess files: 1) In the site's root directory. This is the main .htaccess file which I am modifying. 2) In the [root]/wordpress/ directory which is necessary for the wordpress blog I have located on my site. I am not modifying this. The problem is, when I paste the required code into the root .htaccess file, everything works but my wordpress URLs become broken. How do make sure that the wordpress .htaccess file is unaffected? Here is the htaccess code I'm pasting in: IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Optio…

Just bought my new domain name and want to add it so it can be used. I can't find where to change this in the admincp section... Once signed in I only have the options of the left side where I can't find anything about it. I do not have any other menus in my admincp. There should be a redirect thing some where but I can't seem to find it. Is this doable yourself or do you gotta put in a ticket to have it done and wait a week before someone even gets back with you about it? If someone could point me in the right place in the admincp to do this myself, I would be very thankful..

Please allow up to 5 seconds… DDoS protection by CloudFlare Ray ID: ******************** How can I do this and what is it useful for? Any idea also on how can I add the cloudflare to make my community much safer and faster? …

I've got two issues - want to see if it's something I can somewhat easily fix or if I need to report as a bug. First, ever since completing the upgrade to 4.1+ (I was late to update - jumped from 4.0.13.1 to 4.1.3.2), my reputation button doesn't display who voted anymore. Also, notifications now say "somebody" instead of the user that completed the action. I didn't see any settings in the admin CP regarding reputation that allows me to toggle this function. Second, also ever since the upgrade, my editor button images are shuffled a bit. "Link" is now the gear image, "emoticons" now use the link image. "Left" and "center-align" now use left and right flags, and …

Hi, I have a few questions that I thought I would ask in here rather than submit a support ticket. Hopefully someone can help 1. Since the upgrade to 4.1 my standard member group is unable to use [ spoiler ] tags, would there be any particular reason for this? I have an enhanced member group that has permission to post HTML, and I was wondering if that had something to do with it, but that's just clutching at straws as the standard member group were able to use spoiler tags before the upgrade. 2. How do I revert a template within the default IP.Board theme? The mobile nav bar template was modified prior to upgrade, and wasn't reverted during the upgrade pro…

Hey guys, Im using different databases on my pages section on my website. Al these pages have their own 'frontpage' with shown records. Is there a possibilty to combine all these databases on 1 overviewpage? When i created the different pages i used the {database="4" title="Title"} and so on and on (got 5 in total), so each of them would have their own website section. Now i want al these different databases to join forces on 1 overview page. Is that simply combining the database names inside the code: {database="4" "5" "1" title="Home"} etc, or do i have to try something else? Many thanks in advance!

I'd really like Stream view to show some kind of Hot Topic indicator the way the forums display does. Can anyone point me to which Template I need to be digging around in to make this happen? I want Streams to become most of my members' main landing page, but I'd like to do some customization work first.
