Some background first: I created a copy of the Recent Images gallery Widget using the plugin format for templates and css. It works in dev mode, but not in "live" mode. So, I downloaded the widget, deleted the existing copy, and uploaded it out of dev mode. It works in live mode now. So there must be some database trickery in the background for installing the widget into the system outside of dev mode. The Issue: When I go into dev mode, after uploading the XML copy I downloaded earlier and then uninstalled, my widget doesn't have the template file anymore. The CSS and PHTML files are not created on the disk. So the moment you go into DEV mode with a widget, it'll stop wo…

Hey, I got the group collabriation add on to my IPB and i got the friendly urls activated. However, my goal is, to overwrite an url from the group collaboration so its dedicated to the community. The normal friendly url: https://gamers.host/gc/cat/category-?? Its created from: https://gamers.host/index.php?app=collab&module=collab&controller=categories&category=123 What i try todo, is pointing this url: https://gamers.host/sea to: https://gamers.host/index.php?app=collab&module=collab&controller=categories&category=2 That url is probably overwritten by the first one: https://gamers.host/gc/cat/category-??

I have a 3.4.7 test site that I made some posts on and tried to upgrade it to 4.0.8. The upgrade process went smooth, however, here's what the site looks like after the upgrade: I tried to login into the site and received the 500 error. Any ideas? I uploaded the 4.0.8 files twice and it didn't seem to solve anything. Don't know where to find and error codes in 4.X

I've just moved from vbulletin4 to ipb3 and on to ipb4. All data was copied over nicely. I've first installed IPB in a /ipb folder and now moved it to my root folder. Everything seems fine except for the images of my theme. Every image now displays a small square. I can't find anything in admincp to rebuild the theme's cache or input the theme location. Any pointers?

I would like to know if IPS 4 creates thumbnails or many different images sizes of the images uploaded on text editor and on custom database field type upload. I know that Gallery creates many images in different sizes based on the image uploaded. But does the core have the same function? The thumbnail size can be customized? If there is no thumbnail on text editor and custom databases fields is there a way to implement the Gallery function on them? Thanks!!!

Hi, I have already installed IPS4 with a few applications. Now that I need Pages application, I renewed it. But I don't know how to install a single application? It says I need to "Select the .tar application distribution you would like to install", but where do I get the .tar? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello, I want to style differently the posts of all members who are in the "premium" member group on my forum. I was able to pull this off in 3.4.7 with an IF statement that was something along the lines of: if member group = premium { insert modified code here } else { insert default code here } Does anyone have this code? Thanks!

So looking to do a bit of customized HTML/CSS to the basic theme for now & I'm a little rusty. Plus I'm totally new to the hierarchy of IP software directories, so I may be searching for a while for a particular file to edit. How would I add an image as the headers background? And where should I create the image folder inside of my directory? Or is there already one I should/could be using thats part of the IP software file? Thanks for the help.

After updating to 4.0.8, the little block with an arrow that appears on the left hand side of the page has disappeared, is it just me or did it disappear for anyone else? If you're not following, it's that little block that when clicked slides out a side menu that allows sidebars etc. to be added to the page. Yes I'm logged in as the Administrator.

Just a quick question, maybe one of you guys know how or what they're using. But my question is how does IPB have the + in front of their user group clients? Are they using a primary and secondary group feature? If soo which one would be the primary and which one would be the secondary? Or ?
