Hi, Within the topic page, I want to show the number of views a topic has had. In v3 I used this code " ({parse format_number="$topic['views']"} views)". Is there something similar I can use in 4.0 to show the topic views?

I have a working test install of v4.0.7. However, after following the instructions here and restarting apache: However, from looking at the Plugins screen it appears the application is not in developer mode. (It just says Install new plugin) There are no errors in the logs. More detail: I have constants.php under admin/install with: define ('IN_DEV', TRUE); And I installed the files from the zip over the existing install in applications and dev respectively in the IPS folder: http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/7185-developer-tools/

Hello, I've experienced similiar bug to plenty of 3.4->4.0 upgraders - missing css. After checking the browser console, turned out my css were loading up with double urls: http://forum.minecraft.pl/http://forum.minecraft.pl/uploads/javascript_global/root_framework.js.84f5b337dssad4dd828ed8bd72556cae.js?v=91acb12471 Any way to remove that additional url, even through mod_rewrite / .htaccess? I really need it working till tommorow, and since my bug was in the beginning not critical (it was like that while using constats.php, removing this file fixed the issue), after contacting support and following the steps my forum broke down completely.

4.0.8.1 I've got some old photos and in some cases I'd like to have the image of the back side included in the description field. So I open the image (Manage → Edit details) and add the second image as an attachment, and insert it into the description field. Excellent! Move on to next image, any image. Edit that image and there's the attachment from the previous image. Delete the attachment, save the image, and there it is, still in the description! Reopen the image, delete it again, save again, and it's back again. I'm afraid to edit any more images because I don't want an irrelevant extra image in every single description. Bug or am I trying to do something …

I upgraded to IPB 4.0. Previously I had imported from vbulletin to IPB 3.0, so I was using the showthread.php gateway script. After the upgrade if you go to the old showthread.php urls it gives this message: Invalid IPB path Anyway to fix it so it will continue forwarding the old URLs to the new URLs?

My site is set for me to manually approve new member registrations. I have several required profile fields that need to be completed, a security question and reCaptcha. When someone registers I am notified and I as admin I go to Validating members and approve the registration. Several times, however, I am notified that there is a member awaiting approval but I find that they are not in the Validation queue but rather they are already approved. Additionally, several of the required profile fields are blank. Does anyone have a clue how the normal registration process is being de-railed?

Today we had a guest posting on site and I received an email advising me of such. However when logging on and visiting the site there was nothing showing under New Content and nothing indicating a post required approval. The only way of finding the post to approve it was to use the link in the email. If there any way to give greater visibility to posts which require moderation? The other question is who are such emails sent to? Is it only myself as site Administrator or does it include the other staff members?

Hello. I've been using IP.Board 4.0.8 for almost 3 days now and everything works fine, but I cannot seem to modify, delete or add any usergroup. The database is an upgraded 3.4.8 but I suspect this should not be an issue. Anything else still works; I can modify users, they can register.. It's just can't do anything with the usergroups, I get this nice message from the ACP: The board in question is http://forum.dderby.net Kind regards, Alaina.
