Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to have a test version of IPS. I've got a license, and I prefer to try some things before I start with definite version. Is this possible? Because when I try to install I'm prompted to give a license key. Is it possible to use the license now (for the test version) and use it again for the definite version later on? Both versions (test and definite) are on the same server and domain (e.g www.domain.com/test &. www.domain.com). Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Maarten

In 3.x you had the option of setting how log a user would show up in Who's online. Right now it looks to be set at 30 minutes. I've looked around and searched but could not find anything on how to change this cookie setting. Is this still available ?

Hey Guys, I installed the forum, updated it with the latest upgrade (yes, the NO_SET error is still happening) and I made sure the /themes/ folder is writeable. Now, I create a new theme, give it a name -> save -> and change the colors (designer mode) -> save -> no changes in the website. (I changed to the theme in the bottom of the forum), going back to the skin editor it loads the skin but without the changes... whats going on? Then I went to the manual css/html editor, did some changes -> Save -> and I get this: This theme file could not be saved So what to do now? I can't edit my theme with designer mode or manual editor? I …

Sitemap.php in IPS 4.0 is a nifty little tool that automates your Sitemap.xml creation and update. Since I didn't have a clue I thought I'd do a little write up on properly using it because I did some major changes and wanted Google to pick it up sooner than possible. First, you want to enable "Use recommended settings?" or modify it to your liking. System -> Search Engine Optimization -> Sitemap. Make sure the url is pointing to the already installed sitemap.php (http://YourDomain.com/sitemap.php). Next, go to your root directory and remove or rename your old sitemap.xml. (Note the .XML) (after I installed IPS 4.0, the old sitemap.xml was stuck in…

Hi I am creating two articles databases, to be available in different member areas. I was able to export and import the actual database structure for the articles database, but could see no way to import or export record, either individually or as a bulk action. I searched and found a tool that will allow the export of records to a csv file ( I am not sure of ipb4 compatibility). Marcher used to have the ability in is Content Utilities, but that is not ipb4 compatible and development stopped years ago. I looked at the feature list for IPB4.1 and the ability is not on the list. So what options are available? Have I missed something in Admin? Is the feat…

Hello, I want to ask you guys how can I make a forums section available for admins (to view and read and post) and to the normal member to only see his own topic. In other meaning: Admin is the only person that can view everything. Member can only see his own topic. Each member can see his own topic. Thank you Best regards Hassan

Hello, is it possible to make a single category forum? In other words, all topics are in one category. As far as I can tell, I have to make a forum and category. However when a visitor comes they will have to click to go into that forum, rather than just the topics being displayed on the homepage of the site itself. (hopefully i am explaining that well enough).

Hi there, we have successfully moved from VB 5 to IPB and suggest anyone struggling with VB to do the same. You won't be disappointed.. On another note, our forums run for close to a decade on the VB software and there are lots of links from the old forums still cached by the SEO/search engines. Search results are pointing to old links and how do we go about using a 404 redirect to point to our new website from within IP?

Do you need to run post rebuild in archived topics? Can archived topics be moved to another forum (within the site forum structure) Archived topics table vs. own database, would it be preferable to have archived topics in it's own database when they have about 80% of all the forum posts (1,7 million)

So I was just about starting to get the hang of adding my own bb codes to 3 and then 4 confuses me all over again. So my question is, are there any tutorials out that that help me to A/ add special bb code to 4 and B/ help me to create bb code post templates? I would really like an accordion and also a tabbed post template (for use in forum rules as well as posts) and would pay for them to be created, but I also want to learn how to code this stuff myself. Advice? Help?
