Started messing more with IPS4, and tried to create a block pulling a custom RSS feed... and for some reason, it's pulling in the titles of the feed and such which is great, but it's giving every single item a date of 1 Jan 1970. Which, obviously, is wrong. You can find a validated version of the feed in question (with source) at W3C's validator. As you can see, we give date and time in the format of: <dc:date>2015-04-03T16:03:00+00:00</dc:date> Is IPS's feed reader looking for something else?

I'm upgrading our test forum to 4 so that I can create a new skin. Once I have that I'll upgrade our live forum. But. One thing that I'm confused by is it says to download the IPS folder from my client area (done). Then upload the contents of that folder to the root forum folder via ftp and overwrite when prompted. Are they saying I should overwrite my "uploads" folder with theirs? I believe that would delete all our forums images? But if they are saying to "drill down" into the deepest depths of the folders and overwrite any updated files or add any new ones that would take hours or days with the other folders...LOL. I've also come across things saying not to ov…

Hi, Help! One of my moderator erased by mistake a very important topic on our board. I'm going to restore it from a backup, but do you know which tables would need to be restored? There are obviously the forums_topics and the forums_posts records, but do you know if there are other records from other tables that I need to restore? Maybe the core_reputation_index also? I wouldn't break something… Thanks a lot

Hello, After upgrading to IPB 4 (From 3.4.x) I lost all the quotes on posts. Now the quote tag appears instead. This is a question of waiting the board to rebuild the post ? (I upgraded yesterday) Thank you

Hello, I need to be able to add different banners at the top of multiple pages, forums and sub forums. Now i started off with the advertisement feature IP Board has to offer but gives me the same add across all pages (will get to the custom location in a second) and that's not what i wanted. Then just tried doing custom blocks and add one to each page. Whilst this worked for all my pages, when it comes to forums, the forums (home) page itself can be edited with a custom block in footer and will have no effect on forums/sub forums/topic. However when inserting a custom block/ad into any one of the specific forums/sub forums it effects all of them. My question, …

Hello, I have created two fields, for a database, in Pages. One is "content", the other is "Bibliography". I use my own template. And I don't understand why does the field Bibliography appear two times : a first time above the content (that's the problem) and a second time below the content (that's ok). Here is my code, in pages-> template->records <section class="ipsType_richText ipsType_normal" data-controller='core.front.core.lightboxedImages'> <!-- zone de contenu --> {$record->customFieldDisplayByKey('contenu')|raw} {$record->customFieldDisplayByKey('bibliographie')|raw} <!-- fin de l…

I'm a bit bummed by the technical 'support' I received about this problem and it appears I need to wait a fair while between support replies so I'm begging you all for some help with this issue as I really need to get a bulk mail out. Ultimately, notifications and bulk emails to small numbers of people (< 10) work fine. My usual monthly mailout to 50,000 people is now (for the first time) complaining about a Mandrill communication error. When I did into the logs in Mandrill I see a populated 'to' key in the response to the small send outs and an empty 'to' key with the big mail outs. Eg (note the snip, there are more...); "to": [ { "email": "cbiggins@[removed…

The new 4.1 navigation is something which I will need to heavily modify on a few of my themes (both premade and custom) since a "double bar" layout simply won't be possible. I can quite easily turn the navigation into dropdown menus using css but I need help in removing the hover/delayed class function which has been implemented for the tabs (the function which adds/removes .ipsNavBar_active to the hovered <li> after mouse movement has stopped). I won't need it for dropdown menu's and it'll give the impression of a laggy theme if the delay is still present. What's the best way to do this? Keeping in mind it needs to be achieved by a theme modification (and not …
