On the settings overview page I see that it's possible to output the users email using: {member="email"} However is there any way that I could assign the users email to a variable? It seems like it should be easy to do but I can't seem to find any documentation on it.. Something like this: {{$uid = \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name;}} Thanks for any help! EDIT: not sure if this was technical support due to the nature of the question or templates because it's in a template, sorry if I got that wrong

Hi, When I'm trying to upload a new theme that is compatible with IPB 4.1 I get this error: When I refresh it still shows up in the list of themes, but the theme is broken. Anyone know what it means/what I could do to fix it? Thanks.

Below is the code all sensitive information has been replaces with 'x' The issue is the this code is not being called each time the forums are loaded. Exmaple outcome is usually as follows. 1. Login to auth platform. 2. Open IPS forums, not logged in 3. Reload forums page, not logged in 4. reload forums page, no…

I've just been checking out IPB 4.1 and like the benefits of archiving apart from this part is this just in relation to forum search results or search engine search results? If you have a very large site, it can be beneficial to reduce the size of the database table storing posts. Archiving topics is an alternative to deleting which allows them to still exist and be viewed as normal, but moves them to a separate database table. Archived topics cannot be posted in or edited, and will not show in search results. You can unarchive topics after they've been archived if you change your mind.

I moved to a VPS server yesterday, today users can't upload files. If I paste a URL or copy and past an image, it works fine (I suspect those aren't actually uploaded). If you use "choose files..." after you select the image / file it looks like it starts to upload, but when it get to the end it gives a popup saying " There was a problem uploading the file" I modified the uploads folder and all sub-folders to 777, but I still get this error. How can I get this to work, and are there other settings I need to look at after the move? Thanks

I am trying to embed external websites into the IPB4 frame (so the menu should stay there, but instead of the boards, it should show the external site), so that I can use the menu system to create a complete website with more than just a forum. iframe doesn't really work these days anymore (often blocked by browsers it seems), so how can I do that properly? There doesn't seemt to be a block that allows external embedding. Thanks in advance!

I see lots of talk about this issue, and Administrators seem unhappy with the answer to what I am going to ask again in hopes there is some solution now. I have over 500 PAGES of "users" that are listed when I click on the "Spammers" tab under Members in IPS 4 Forum. I manually validate each new User - but apparently these "Spammers" are automatically filtered before I ever see them. And they are placed in a Group that also includes all my legitimate users. How do I get rid of them? I'm guessing there are 7-8000.

Is there any way to prevent users from changing background color of their post? I removed the button from the editor bar, however when they copy/paste content into their posts it seems to store bg color information which they have absolutely no way of removing besides using the remove format option which removes absolutely all the formating and not just the bg color. I'd like to be able to make it so it won't allow the bg color of a copy/pasted post to actually parse.

Okay, I updated from 4.0.13 to the latest 4.1 to see if things got better, but I'm running into issues with themes. The update wasn't really user friendly - I had multiple themes before where I only changed the colors, but I had to REVERT to the default one as I would've gotten an error message otherwise all the time. Why the update couldn't keep my colors and update the rest of the theme files is beyond my understanding, but okay... Well, I recreated all the themes - but now they can't be chosen in the forum anymore. I made sure the permissions are set to "All", and when I choose the default theme, it also works fine. But users cannot change the theme in…

Our users are reported that the site is becoming a bit laggy at times and I've noticed it myself since the upgraded to to 4.1.3.2, I've also noticed here that when typing within the editor, it lags for a second and then catches up. Doesn't always happen fairly random. On both it can happen when browsing and scrolling up and down, it "could" be PC related, it could be browser related, it could be notifcation related - however, I was just curious if anyone has experienced something similar since the most recent update (4.1.2 / 4.1.3)

I've had a ticket open for 3 days with NO help. Pretty awful customer service. Ticket number: 932624 Since my upgrade, my gallery has stopped working, the URL to the images are this: http://www.DOMAIN.com/forum/http://www.DOMAIN.com/forum/uploads/gallery/monthly_2015_11/large.Screenshot_2015-11-01-17-05-34_%281%29.JPG.3bca3b718a9338c5135b244077515c0e.JPG As you can see, it's putting an additional part of the URL at the beginning. Also, subscriptions have gone in this, how do I get them back? I see 1 reference to it being part of Nexus on the website, but then it's called commerce else where. What do I need to do for this to work?

4.1 seems unable to handle this file when uploading to a forum post on my community. It is 4.7MB but I can upload larger files. When uploading to the gallery, it goes through the uplaod process then brings up a blank window, you click the cross to find the image is not there. Any ideas please? Thank you. Also, on here, when viewing in the light box, the orientation is wrong? Should it not show as it is posted? EDIT: I opened the image in paint and saved as a .jpg and it then inserts:

So while I've been waiting for someone from IPS to reply to this bug report, I was wondering, is there a way to manually kick off the upgrade tasks that run after an upgrade from 3.4 to re-run them?

I was just wondering if there are any other steps to take to ensure that BBCode works right, I moved a site over from 3.4 to 4.0 and then 4.1 and I've noticed the BBCode in the forum text and on the pages isn't being parsed and is showing up as entered. Am I missing a step or was there something I should have done during the update (or maybe a mod) to get it to work? Thanks to anyone that can help!

Fresh install, no plugins. Enter a message and save. Then go to add a reply, it does not save. Checked permissions for replies, all good, flood control off. Tried it in Chrome, Firefox, Safari all the same. Any ideas?

I'd like to create a database for stories, many of which will have multiple chapters. Is there any way to either: 1) allow writers to easily insert a page break for new chapters -or- 2) set up the database so writers can add chapters, perhaps by linked records? I greatly appreciate any advice, ideas, or suggestions you can offer.

I'm reposting because it has not been answered and still hoping to get a response that can help me. The site told me to set up a subdomain for IPS temporarily and go from there. I am trying to find a way to set my domain that I purchased from Google Domains on my IPS Forum. Please tell me if I need to supply more information and please provide a response! Anything can help!

I really like the idea of the Activity Streams, so I thought I'd make a custom Activity Stream here to test it out - I always want to know what's new with Marketplace items, so I created a stream based around that: Showing files in Utilities and Stats, Developer Resources, Member Extensions, Staff Extensions, Fields, Social Experience, Multimedia, Bridges and Integration, Commerce and Blocks and Widgets posted since my last visit. Thing is, I've had it running for a week+ now, and every time I visit, it says there is nothing new - I checked, and there have been new items added to the Marketplace within the last week, so obviously I have something set incorrectly…
