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…

Whenever I upgrade the forum or install an application I am experiencing that all the URL's pointing to CSS/JS and/or other rescources are wrong and a white page will show. In order to fix it I have to do the following everytime I do an upgrade: pico datastore/storageConfigurations.9d6975e26b.php should look like: <?php return <<<'VALUE'{"1":{"id":1,"method":"FileSystem","configuration":"{\"dir\":\"{root}\\\/uploads\",\"url\":\"uploads\"}"}}VALUE;the url property tends to have the wrong value in the form http://***.***.***.***/oldforum/ and sudo find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/http:\\\/\\\/***.***.***.***\\\/oldforum\\\///g' {} + and sudo find . -type f -…

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...

When building plugins, I am sometimes in a situation where I need to attach a template hook somewhere in the global template. This, of course, means that my hook is going to show up everywhere in the site, which is not always what I want. I often want to limit the plugins' display to certain sections of the site only. This means I need something like this: {{if $section == 'forum'}} {template = 'my_hook'} {{endif}} if I want the hook to only show in the forums. What I don't know is how to get that $section variable. What is the best way? I hope this is simple enough

I want to use \IPS\Member::load($idVal, 'ex_id') with my new `ex_id` field. I hooked the \IPS\Member class and try to overwrite the static variable: protected static $databaseIdFields = array ( 0 => 'name', 1 => 'email', 2 => 'fb_uid', 3 => 'live_id', 4 => 'google_id', 5 => 'linkedin_id', 6 => 'ipsconnect_id', 7 => 'twitter_id', 8 => 'ex_id' ); After then, the forum gives me ERROR: Call to undefined method IPS\Member::setName() on init.php:432 Can anyone help me? Or should I do it in another way? Thanks

Hi there, anyone experienced an issue where you don't have permission to view other board members profile pages? I'm the community admin and when I click on another members display name, in theory taking you to their profile page I just get, Sorry there is a problem, something went wrong Error EX0. Strangely if I also goto a groups settings and make some changes (lets say the display colour) I am unable to save it.

I've spent the last hour or so making changes to a newly created group so they can only see one of the subforums on the site. I click save, it gives me the "Saved" pop up...and then when I test the permissions, they are wrong. And when I go back into the group permissions it reverts to a helluva lot more than what I gave them. Am I missing something? Follow up question: Is there a reason why we can't give individual forum permissions to each user? For instance (and the one I'm trying above), I want to ban the user from all but one of the subforums on the board...Hiding any forum he should not be able to see. The only way I can see to do this, is to create a group, set …

I am making a custom template for database records and one of the fields is "upload" with "allow multiple uploads". The uploads are basic images and I am manipulating the content items to use the LightBox. I could not find a template tag (https://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/advanced-usage/development/template-tags-r76/) to give me the path to the current storage in my system. I do not want to use a fixed path in my template like "www.mysite.com/forum/uploads" because I may want to use CDN or Amazon S3 in the future and I would have to manually change all the templates of all databases that use the field "upload". So, how to get dynamically the path to the current st…
