Hey, I'm developing an external application appart of IPS. However, I would like to be able to provide instant access to my application (without logins or visual registrations), according to if the users are already logged-in or not in my forums. I know this is possible with Single Sign-on (https://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/advanced-usage/development/single-sign-on-sso-r98/) by reading the user session in forum. However I've had some problems with that and I've tried to give a shot to the other option. However, there are no really pratical examples of using IPSConnect. I've been looking for some built code, just to understand what parameters should I be passing i…

Since day one of me getting ips4 i noticed an issue with logins. My members complained that logging in was forcing the remember me option and its not possible to toggle it off. I tested this myself and its true. Now i disabled all of my plugins and extras to make sure it was not me but it still happens and my bug reports go unnoticed. Are people aware of this? can it be fixed? are the staff on it? Because my users are grilling me about it and tbh i would grill me too since this bug renders anyone using a public terminal to access a ips4 forum vulnerable since it saves the login. So if you use ips4. Please test it on your forum. And drop some feedback. At the very least we…

Hello, I've discovered that using second option of Single Sign-on implementation (https://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/advanced-usage/development/single-sign-on-sso-r98/) leads me to a session problem. I am using a PHP framework named Yii2 Framework (www.yiiframework.com), and I've find out that the using the following snippet from the docs, do cause some conflicts regarding the framework session, as if the IPS Session would overwrite the framework session. <?php /** [...] **/ class SiteController extends Controller { public function actionIndex() { require_once('../../mygame.pt/forum/init.php'); \IPS\Session\Front::i(); /…

Hey, I'm looking for a way to redirect users after them have been successfully logged in in the forums. Basically, in my external application I'm checking if the the member id I'm receiving is different from 0. If so, and if the user does not exist already in the external database, I am redirecting him to the login page, such as http://domain.com/login However, in IPS3 I was able to do something like: http://www.domain.com/index.php?app=core&module=global§ion=login&return=http://external.domain.com How can I achieve something similar to the return parameter that used to work in the previous version? Basically, I do need that when my users succesfully login…

Hello, I have the following files: /public_html/board/init.php /public_html/external/controllers/TestController.php To access the forums I use http://board.domain.com and to access TestController I do use http//external.domain.com/test According to documentation: In TestController, doing the following: <?php /* [...] */ require_once('../../board/init.php'); \IPS\Session\Front::i(); var_dump( \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id ); ?>returns me false.

Hello, I've run into the following problem installing IPS4: "Your license has not been provided. Please supply your license key in order to continue.... There was an error communicating with the IPS License Server...." I've installed IPS4 previously and successfully but I now receive this message. I can roll back to v3.47 and upgrade to v3.48 without even being asked for my license key. When I supply the license key with or without the "-TESTINSTALL" suffix and simply receive the same error (understandable if it's a "communication" error). I've tried using previous v4 releases that I know were successful and still encounter this problem. Does anybody have any sugg…

Hi there, Trying to run the upgrade to IPS4, which, only my 3.4.x install, requires a conversion to UTF8. So I pressed the button to start the convertor and got this message: Error: include(/uploads/profile/photo-7130.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory File: /home/weareper/public_html/wapforum/conf_global.php(191) : runtime-created function Line: 1 The file, photo-7130.jpg, exists in the /uploads/profile/ folder. Initally it was CHMOD 644. It was the only file with those permissions in that directory, so I changed to 777 as the rest were. That didn't help. I tried to view said image in Firefox, but it said the file couldn't load. I then deleted it enti…

Was making some calendar events for bike rides on my site and pasting info into the "Description" field. Due to the fact that the data I had copied had styling applied to it, I selected the "Past as plain text" editor button (which I have enabled). I had done this for other events, but not as a "plain text" choice and it worked fine. Imagine my surprise when I saved the event down and then when it was shown it looked like this You couldn't use any of the event details buttons to edit, download or anything (couldn't delete it) so I was able to use the browser back button and converted the "plain text" to html and it them showed up fine. Anybody else notice the sa…

Hello everyone, Recently I switched to CloudFlare from the recommendation of my server host. Upon doing so, however, my license key dropped off the board and it's now impossible for my board to contact the IPS licensing servers. Has anyone else who is on CloudFlare experienced this issue? Is there a way for me to fix this. I do have a support ticket in, but thought maybe reaching out to the community would see a little help.

I am currently using a YouTube field in Pages and the embedded player. I was wondering if there was any way to pull just the video id eg watch?v=auIy9YNxFDk so that I can use it to pull the associated YouTube image from them without having to manually enter the videoid as a separate field ? {$record->customFieldDisplayByKey('video', 'listing')|raw}Currently pulls the full URL. I am assuming that for formatting for the embedded player the videoid at the end is somehow split? I was wondering if somehow I could pull that id and enter it like bellow to pull the image? http://img.youtube.com/vi/ videoid /maxresdefault.jpg

This one is odd purely because of how the issue presents itself. I have a page, "articles" based on template "single_column". In the page builder, the block, "category listings" is added. All is fine. After a bit of use in the wild, the block at some point starts to develop an odd behaviour; duplicating its contents one above the other. Block working fine... Going back into the page...
