Hi, I've converted a joomla 3 website to ip.content (3.4.8) using the latest conversion tool, but images were not converted, articles images point to the joomla relative path (/images/xxx). I would like to know where ip.content (or 3.4.8 pages) stores the images so I can move them to the proper location and have them shown on the articles. Any tip is appreciated! Best Regards!

I was working on a custom 4.0.6 theme and the block manager stopped working. I set the page I was working on back to the default theme and that no longer works. Is there a way to reset the default theme/bits? I can't figure out what happened as I was not working on the default theme. The only thing I can think of is a sync from hard disk may have corrupted something. If it can't be reset via the forums, where can I download the default theme? Thanks

Hey all, just hoping I might be able to find some ideas here. I started the update process to 4.0.6 on my hosted IPS install. I have access to my FTP server and uploaded the changed files that way. In my stupid haste, I accidentally deleted the entire /upgrade/ folder inside of admin. I figured I could fix this simply by reuploading the upgrade folder in the correct place, until I realize I don't have all of the files that I just deleted, only the updated files for the upgrade. To my surprise, there's nowhere for me to download the IPS files to fix this. I guess as a hosted client, I don't have that access, which is a bit crazy to me. All of my data was still test dat…

I have upgraded from 3.4.8 to 4.0.6.1 and only have under 200 posts (new forum) but because I archived posts in my forsale forum and deleted (once about 30 days old) then I have a -122 post count showing, but total post still include these deleted -122 posts Recount and rebuild seems to be removed in this 'improved' ipb4 lol recount members posts corrects members post numbers but the overall posts and negative posts counts still show incorrectly as minus once deleted and zero even when posts are present, this probably would go unnoticed on large forums with 1000's of posts.

I used the gateway (index.php in root, and forums in sub folder "forums"). I'm using FURL's. All links work. What I want to do is remove the ".html" at the end of the pages. So the pages appear as if they are in their own directories like below.. mysite.com/articles.html to mysite.com/articles mysite.com/reviews.html to mysite.com/reviews While editing each page, I omitted the ".html" in the Page Filename like below. Links work without the ".html" extension. Is that a correct way of doing it? Before After Edited: After removing the ".html" in the Page Filename, when I make up a filename/subdirectory at the end of "articles" like "mysite.com/articles/filler…

Just did a fresh local install of IPB 4.0.6.1, and I'm trying to install free plugins I got from the Marketplace. My problem is that I can't find an option to install plugins in the AdminCP. I have enabled developer mode, btw. Here is a screenshot of the plugins section in the AdminCP. I expected to see an 'Install new' button, like in previous versions. Here is a screenshot of the same Section in an old IPB 4rc4 with the expected install button: Why is this happening?

In the most current version of ip boards, how do I set it up so that youtube videos don't take up the max forum size. I'd like them to be like 50% instead of 100% of the page size. Thanks

The number of files in the uploads directory seems to have doubled after upgrade to 4.0.6.1. They were about 40.000 before the upgrade to IPS4 but are now about 78.000. Old ipb 3.4 uploads subdirectories and files got copied over to the new subdirectories, like attachments and profile_photos, and the original ones left in it's place. I checked this right after the upgrade and this hasn't changed.

I know this will be an embarrassing question but I cannot find where in the AdminCP where I can check the current version of the IP Board I am running (e.g. 4.0.6.1, etc.) as well as where it shows how much disk space I have used up (since I am using IPS for hosting and they limit each price tier by disk space usage).

It would appear there is a slight problem with displaying the location of a person on the forum. Instead of it being "Location: etc" it displays as Locationetc.

Whenever I create a page, the Latest Record widget automatically shows up. I haven't added it, and it's not part of the coding. I can remove it, but as soon as I refresh the page, the widget comes back. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Hi there, I'm currently using a theme for 3.4.6 that we've been using for a around year. I'm assuming that upgrading to 4.0 will break atleast some of the theme (excluding plugins ect). Just wondering to what extent this is? Can't decide if i'm just missing information thats around. Thanks

At the moment we're using 'File System' as our Data Storage Method. Is it okay (i.e. non problematical) to change it to 'MySQL Database' to see if we gain any site speed improvements? Also of course is it safe to flip it back to 'File System' with no ill effects?

I did a test upgrade of my 3.4 site to 4.0 (currently at 4.0.6.1) and found that the emoiticons from the previous site did not transfer to the /emoticons subfolder in /uploads. I manually copied the emoticons and they started showing up again when creating new posts. However, all old posts display the emoticon text and not the image. Is there a "refresh" tool someplace to parse the old posts for emoticon text and replace/update with the associated image? Thanks!

In 3.4 there was a comment section under each status in the status widget for the forum index. In 4.0 it isn't there, quite a few of my users miss it. Can it be re-enabled or has it been removed from this version? Thanks
