I can't seem to find documentation on this anywhere. I run my forum on my websites domain, for example..."http://mydomain.com/forum/" I am not seeing my database for my forum in phpmyadmin on cpanel. Where can I find it? I'd like to copy it and back it up, please.

I note that your tool to write .htaccess-files doesn't write one to the plugins-folder, like it does to the datastore and uploads-folders. I was expecting it would write one to the plugins-folder too. Is there any particular reason this is not done? Should it be protected with the same rules as the datastore-folder? I'm not sure if the hooks.txt-file contains information that should not be read for instance. I see it's heavily obfuscated, but still wondering in case someone should be able to unobfuscate it for example

Hey guys, I hope I'm in the right forum. I have a problem with importing my live database to my test location. It is the same server, just a subdomain, so all requirements are met (and both are running von version 3.4.8). What I did was the following create database backup (tried phpMyAdmin & MySQL Dumper)freshly installed 3.4.8uploaded my custom skin, activated, recached and so onimported the databaseNow my problem is that all buttons are missing their text or e.g. the stats in the forums are missing. I've partially translated the suite, but even those not translated show this behaviour. I am now curios if I did something wrong (I did not follow the steps like in th…

I'm trying to figure out how I can add additional block areas to my templates. At the moment, I'm in the global template of the core applications.

I can browse my forum, all the topics, as a guest. But as a member/admin, I can't view any single topic... They are all blank... I can't even make an announcement, as that page is also blank... I can access the AdminCP though. Is there anything I can do, until the IPB support guys give a reply to my ticket? (it's Sunday, so I am afraid it may take long...) http://board.whatisfatmagulsfault.com/

OMG! Guests are not allowed to post at my site. But googlebot just found a page that was throwing an error: So I went and checked out the page and saw this. This is where you show makeup looks, so the post sounds innocent enough. BUT, there was also an email address box and capchita for a guest to post! And you can see this without being logged in. Now I did do the group bug edit. But can it be undone since there is a database query that had to be ran with it?

hello, I am new to IPS, am experinced with wordpress but have never had to fiddle around with the FTP like we have to do here. So for the last few hours i have been trying to install an application for my site, mainly the portal application. I have Downloaded the file, unzipped it, located the "uploads" , copied the contents into where i feel is the correct place via FileZilla. What is meant by the Forum Root? the very first place in the directory for my site? or a certain forums folder deeper within? I have tried copying my upload files to the root directory of my site - public_html/MyySite.com, as well as the public_html/MySite.com/applications/forums/modules/front/for…

I tried to search for a thread about this here, but couldn't find anything. When a guest or any other member uses my regular search feature, the results they get show them an overly generous excerpt of each post on the results list, even if those posts are from forums the searcher does not have permission to access. This is not good, because upper permissions are being violated by the searcher being able to read up to 3 lines of text in those excerpts. How can I make it so that only the titles (without excerpt) will show for results? Or, how can I make it so that posts from a subforum one does not have permission to view don't show on the search results at all? Thanks…

I am working on a modification to my board that will ping an external API with two values (a username and verification token) which are provided by the user during registration. If these values are correct, the external API returns "1" and then refuses to accept the verification token again, returning "0" on any future attempts to use the same token. If the values are incorrect, the external API also returns "0". I have added custom validation code to handle this. I am running into a problem where submitting the Register form runs the validation code three times. The first time, the external API gives a "1" - which means that the registration should move forward as expect…

Actually, members can, guests cannot... So, I want to have a forum (Q&A) in which questions are visible to all but answers not. The problem is that as soon as you turn OFF the "Users can see questions asked by other users?" selection, then 'guests' can no longer see the forum, no matter what permissions are granted. Only registered Members can see the questions. Did I miss something? I'd like 'guests' to see the questions too - obviously not the answers... Thoughts? Thanks

Hi, I happen to run a wordpress blog and absolutely wish I could have SSO with the blog and IPS4.0. However, a plugin for either aren't out. My blog happens to have several plugins, a unique theme, and more installed. Would I lose the theme and plugins? I honestly feel like I should just wait for a plugin to enable SSO between both wordpress and ips4.0... Thank you.
