Curious if there's any issue deleting Members directly from the database? We have just migrated to IPS and have a heap of spam accounts we would like to delete, however searching for them in the AdminCP then "Prune" all the results isn't working. So is there any negative impact just deleting them directly from the members table in SQL?

Please help! I have banged my head against the wall for 2 weeks with this. I'm trying to display record images on my front page but the images are invisible. It's working for a bunch of people but for me the images don't show even after reinstalling, tried a few different versions too. This code <article class='cCmsCategoryFeaturedEntry {{if $record->hidden()}}ipsModerated{{endif}}'> <a href="{$record->url()}" title="{lang="read_more_about" sprintf="$record->_title"}"> <div class="frontpage_firstitem" style="background-image: url({file="$record->record_image"})"> </div> </a> </article>displays this as source code: back…

For IPB 3, I could easily change the default user photo by changing /public/style_images/master/profile/default_large.png and /default_thumb.png to basically whatever I want it to be. I know IPS 4 doesn't use the /public/ folder anymore. How do I change this now?

I have a wordpress install on my root domain and my forum in /forum. In webmaster tools I noticed that when testing/viewing the robots.txt file (there is an area you can see the last file Google pulled) it pulls the robots.txt file from the root of the domain (wordpress) rather than the robots.txt file from the forum sub folder. (I have webmaster tools setup for both /forum and the root) So this leads me to believe that perhaps Google only looks for that file on the root. What is generally the correct practice? Should I combine both files and just place it on the root? Additionally that's got me wondering if I should do the same thing for my .htaccess file as I assume i…

None of the options on the dropdown list under "Signed in as Guest" do anything. I tried all of them. Support takes forever to respond. Once again, v.4 has BROKEN MY FORUM. Anybody have any suggestions?

What's the process of refreshing your dev environment with production now? I tried the same method as with 3.4.7 and it doesn't seem to work anymore. After changing conf_global.php I get a Error 500 screen when trying to get to ACP to change the other info over.

Dev site broken as CSS and Javascript URLs point to live site, how to rebuild the theme
by genrobgen- 3 replies
- 362 views
To set up a dev site I first dumped the live site database, then loaded this dump into the dev database. Then I rsync'ed the files across from the live server to the dev server. Finally I adjusted the "base_url" in "global_conf.php" to point to the dev server. My dev site now kind of works, but all the CSS and Javascript are missing, so I just have white pages with plain text. My dev server is trying to load the CSS and Javascript from the live server, but Chrome prevents this. How to fix?

We have attempted a test upgrade from our live site (3.4.8) to our dev site using 4.0.7 but we are getting a 503 error when we try to manually run the rebuild tasks on the dashboard. Has anyone else encountered this? and if so, how did you fix it? or did you? All our previous test upgrades encountered issues of some sort, but none had this specific issue. Going back as far as RC6 the upgrade deleted all our images from the live site (turned out to be my mistake in updating paths before running upgrade. luckily we had a backup). For the fully released product we have had issues with the archives not being added as posts (this is still not resolved but we spent 4 days unar…

I decided to try and install ips 4 and when I upload all the files and try to login to the upgrader it just gives me the following message: The Email Address you entered does not belong to any account. Make sure that it is typed correctly. The email address is being typed in exactly as it appears in the database Any help would be great. Thanks

Hi, I'm migrating a Joomla/phpBB3 site to invision board. I've successfully migrated phpbb3 forum to 3.4.8, and joomla too (convert with joomla is not working as I expected). Then I've upgraded to 4.0.6, and then to 4.0.7 to find out that attachments does not appear on the forum. Also url's are not shown properly, I see the url between bbocode, seems that it's not being replaced. I've started the background processes (since some of them supposed to solve this problems). It's being running three hours, and speed is ugly, I'm using a digital ocean droplet with 64 Gb or RAM and 20 processors. Running a cron job (crontab or command line) does nothing. Did someone found a w…

The inline_notifications table corrupts itself and any attempt to repair it fails (through both the ACP and phpmyadmin). I tried to use myisamchk to repair it in safe mode but that didn't work either.
