Can someone please tell me how to increase the character length of the thread title in the Last Post section? As seen in this image. Since it already drops the title down to a second line, I would like to show more of the title. Thanks to anyone that can help.

I'm looking to fetch data from the forums (using SQL commands) and use the data on a separate site (that isn't related to IP.Board). An example of such data is latest topics in a specific forum, or the topics with the most reputation. What would be the best way to achieve this? Basically I want to create a new page that contains the result of the SQL command, and fetch that page using Ajax (with Access-Control-Allow-Origin).

Hello, I'm having some difficulties to get DEV mode working on localhost. I've followed every step here from the link https://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/advanced-usage/development/developer-mode-r70/ and whenever I try to access the IPB homepage, I am presented with this screen: I can access Admin CP with no problems, and I can access the homepage if I disable the IN_DEV constant. I've tried to increase the memory limit, but it looks like it keeps consuming always to the maximum. I've already cleaned the cache in the hope it would help, but nope. No luck. What am I missing here? Thanks!

Hello there, Not quite sure what is wrong but just can't add anything to the page. Here's what I have done so far: 1. Installed IPB 3.4 and used converter to migrate from VB to IPB 2. Upgraded by ftping the IPB 4.1 files in the same location as IPB 3.4 3. The upgrade process did not throw a single error Now I have created couple of pages and I have no idea how to go about adding content to it. When I open page builder it shows a blank page under the page. I want to check out adding a block to the page but I see no option for doing that. I have spent couple of hours trying to find out a documentation but in vain. When I click t…

I'm still unable to assign a theme to a specific URL or content inside a URL (which you could do in IPB3 using the URL Skin Mapping tools... at least I think this was what it was called). I'm also unable to assign a specific theme to a Pages category. Has anyone figured out how to go about this? For example - I'd like to show a Buffalo Bills skin, every time someone views an article with the phrase "buffalo-bills" in the URL. And, assign a Buffalo Bills skin to a specific Pages page. Not quite sure how to go about this in IPB4. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I upgrade our forums to 4.0.13.1, for the most part everything went smoothly except a few files which failed to copy the first time. Anyway the upgrade process continued right up until a regular upgrade would finish, but instead of finishing it gave me a NO_STEP error. The forum is working, and they application tab in the ACP says 4.0.13.1, so I assume it finished, but just threw the error anyways. My main worry is if this is an issue, and I am worried that when 4.1.0 is released that we may run into issues. Any ideas? Or is it really nothing to worry about?

I want to let users who can't see hidden posts know that there was a post that has been hidden. So at the end of the postContainer template I added this: {{if $comment->hidden() AND $comment->canUnhide()}} This message has been hidden. {{endif}} To me as an user with permission to view and unhide hidden content, that simply shows "This message has been hidden." after the hidden message. So then I tried this line: {{if $comment->hidden() AND !$comment->canUnhide()}} This message has been hidden. {{endif}} Obviously I no longer see the message after the hidden post. But it doesn't show up for users who can't unhide/view hidden messages, a…

After completing a test upgrade from 3.4.7 to 4.0.13, I've noticed that the member_seo_name column in the core_members table is now.... empty. Aside from the user I've been testing with, which is the sole user that has a value. This value was present in my 3.4.7 database and is rather necessary to some of the reports I run. All post-upgrade background tasks have completed... what gives? Is there a way to manually rebuild this value? Why would it get flushed?

I have 4 IPBoard Forums and am considering using the SSO option of IPS Connect. I do have a few questions for anyone that might be using it. I plan on doing a test with my least used forums prior to migrating to my bigger boards. If I do a test of one forum as the Master will there be any issues of changing it to a slave later? I know for sure that I have multiple users that have separate logins on each of my boards. Many with the same username. Will this cause issues? Will the Master be the default for password if a user has accounts on multiple boards? Does each board need to have Facebook login handlers enabled if it's used on the master? I'v…

Hello, As I was looking to develop some plugins, I've seen the best way to test it with an IPS installation would be to install IPS locally. So that's what I did. I've installed MAMP - running Nginx - (as I've seen in another topic here that it is what some staff uses) and I've copied my licensed copy from my live server to localhost as well as the database. I've changed the settings in conf_global.php, gave some permissions, and the forum homepage seemed to be working. At least, until I've clicked any link. URL rewrite was not working at all. As my live server is Nginx either, I guessed that the settings I had on my live server would be similar to the one …
