Hi, I am planning on upgrading the production instance of IPS to 4.0 and I am currently researching the implications. One of the changes we've done was to rename the Admin CP folder name and update the url in the conf_global.php. I've downloaded the archive of IPS 4.0 and the conf_global.php is empty. I noticed that the folder structure changed a lot so I am kind of lost. Before I upgrade the forums I need to know how to change the Admin CP url in the 4.0. Thank You, Paul

The issue: The database stores comments in forum topics. A regular user of the Members group submits a record to the database, and it has to be approved before it's shown. When a moderator approves the record, the author of the first post of the generated topic is the moderator who approved the record, instead of the user who submitted the record, even though the topic says it was initiated by the user who submitted the record. ---- So, in /applications/cms/sources/Records/Records.php there's this code: /* Create topic */ $topic = \IPS\forums\Topic::createItem( $this->author(), \IPS\Request::i()->ipAddress(), \IPS\DateTime::ts( $this->record_publish_date ? $th…

Hello. This relates to v4.0.11 If one is signed in, one can visit http://www.canalworld.net/testarea123/index.php?/new-content/ (obviously, the domain name would relate to any IPB4 install/website, not just ours) to "View New Content". This is a popular way in, and it bookmarked, by a high number of our members, including on their phones, in the equivalent-function URL in the main website. On V4, this is unavailable to guests - if they typed in that URL, they get an error screen, see screenshot. I've checked in our existing version v3.4.8 and its available to guests ie without signing in. Is this just the way it is, or configurable so, effectively, "New Content" for gu…

Not sure if this belongs here or in the theme forum. I have tried looking around in the templates but haven't had much luck in finding any way to change this. In 3.x it was possible to see exactly who liked a post, however in 4.x it has been replaced to just "1 person likes this" or "x member, x member and 3 others like this". Is there any way to change this back to how it was in the previous versions? Whether it just lists every username or lets you hover/click to see them all doesn't matter too much Thanks!

Hey guys, I am using the code below to access the logged in user on my site (logged in via the forum) require 'forum/init.php'; /* Initiate the session to verify who this user is */ \IPS\Session\Front::i(); /* Print the user's name */ $member = \IPS\Member::loggedIn(); Now, I would like to add a logout button on my site, that logs out the user. but I noticed that the log out url requires csrfKey value. For example: http:/somedomain.com/forum/index.php?/logout/&csrfKey=85752a5694b832fa95c821b96c00d914 this is a user specific csrfKey. How can I generate this key using php? thanks! OK! Founds the solution: \IPS\Session::i()->csrfKey sorry for the re-pose

What display code can be used to link (make downloadable) items in a database field that is of the type Uploads with allow multiple uploads = yes? The closest I have come is to use the labels, which at least results in clickable links to the files. Example: ATTACHMENTS: EXPENSE-JULY.PDF INVOICE__585822-_RENEWAL-_PLUS_40.PDF EXPENSE.PDFI would like to display attachment links in a more readable, textual format. Using "none" for formatting exposes the filename and server path (not clickable) but all my simple-minded attempts to format $value in ways that work for other custom field types result in "configuration" errors.

It seems with the new update the comments on the Pages app do not display. LINK The system sees there are 38 comments, but does not display them. This happens with all articles and the default IPS theme. I opened a ticket for it.

I wanted to add oEmbed from CKEditor to the toolbar in IPS, but it had dependency issue. So I installed in this order: 1. Lineutils 2. Widget 3. oEmbed Now I cannot see any toolbar buttons in the toolbar. Only the separator line shows. Is there a way to manually remove these last edits. I dont want to reset because I have made some custom buttons before that I need.
