Currently I'am studying the Pages documentation, and to be honest I'm a little confused. How is the Third-Party Services made on this site? I really liked it, and would like some hints about how it's made and to make one in my community.

Long time user of IP Board. Was running v2 until last week. IP conducted the upgrade for me, but upon completion, the response time for any page call is horrific. One thing I was told by the IP folks is that there are a number of background processes running, and will take some time to complete. I can see this progress in the AdminCP. The upgrade was completed on Monday, but only 2 of the 19 background processes have completed, and the rebuilding of posts is still only 55% complete. I have 100k existing posts that this munging through, so I suspect that's just an arduous process to complete. My question is, should this be taking this long? and what is …

I upgraded IPB from 3 to 4. It was pretty smooth, considering it's a completely rewritten software Most of the stuff seems to work, but old file attachments seem to have not been properly imported. When I try to download an old attachment, it's redirected to an older non-existant URL: http://boards.openpandora.org/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=12110 How can I fix that?

I spent the last few hours building our organization tree in the Staff Directory. I'v added 13 categories, with about 100 groups distributed over these categories. Only to find that the page is completely empty when visiting the page. None of the group members of any of the groups, of any of the categories, or the categories them selfs are visible.

I was wondering if any of you know of a plugin to empty the editor content in the editor? I'm having some members who are having trouble removing quotes from posts. It could be browser-specific or it could be that they're not trying exactly as I tell. And I feel a button for simply empty the editor would be the best solution for this particular type of users.

I have three custom profile fields: Location Handedness Username (to a different site) The way "Location:" is displayed in the postbit (the cAuthorPane?) is fine. I'd like to replace "handedness" with an image (a righty or lefty image), and I'd like to replace the username with an icon and to use that username as part of a URL. I've messed around briefly in customFieldsDisplay.phtml of my child theme, but haven't gotten very far at all. I've discovered that even the "$value" in that file is the fully formed line, like: Location: SoCal So, how should I go about modifying this? It seems fairly straightforward, I'm fairly familiar wi…

Hi, this is a fairly simple question: how do I move a record from one database to another database? For example, I have records A1, A2, A3 in database AA. I would like to move those records to database BB. It seems like I can only move records to another category, but not to another database.

Seems like every time I manage / edit block it breaks something. At first I thought it was my theme, but it doesn't seem to matter. It's getting to the point where I am afraid to make any changes because its going to break something.

Hi there, if I open a image from an album within the lightbox I can't scroll trough all images. In fact the lightbox isn't showing the other pictures but the gallery is. So pressing your arrow keys will make the gallery load another picture but if you have already opened a picture within the lightbox nothing will happen. The picture will change because the gallery site reloads, but the lightbox doesn't. Is there a fix for this bug? Regards, Aaron

Hi, I use the share buttons to tweet out links to our forums on a regular basis, and was using them on Sunday morning. For some reason they have now disappeared from all threads. I've checked, and they are all enabled in the dashboard, and I logged in under multiple accounts to make sure it wasn't just settings on my admin account. Any ideas? http://fantasyteamadvice.com/forums

Hello, I have a problem with the classifieds section of my forum. It is the one of the most active part of the forum and also a very important part because it is a hobby discussion forum and second hand is really important for hobbyists. It is a local forum so many people know each other and there is the advantage of that in the classifieds section that people can trust each other easily. However, of course there are scammers and also people who are not hobbyists but trying to sell equipments just to make money which I have to prevent. How I prevent is by putting 25 message and 1 month old membership quota to post in the classifieds section. It works well …

I'm not sure whether this should be a bug report, or whether it's something I'm doing wrong (but I don't THINK I'm doing anything wrong...!) I've been developing my theme on my local computer, and am now uploading it to a development server to test it further. But the new version I upload doesn't seem to go live. It's like it's not refreshing a cache until I prompt it to. Here's what I did... 1) Turned off Developer Mode on my local server, and syncronised the changes so the latest files were pulled into the database. 2) Exported my local theme by downloading it as an XML file. 3) Uploaded the theme to my development server using the "Upload new v…
