I am trying to display a single category of a database in a custom HTML page (in Pages), but it doesn't seem to work. I know I need to use {database="1"} to display the database, but {database="1" category="1"} doesn't display the category. I get an error saying that I either cannot have two databases in the same page or that the database is already in use on another page (I use 'database 1' for my blog front page).Is there a way for me to display a specific database category on a custom page?Is there a way to deactivate the 'number of databases on a page' restriction so I can override the warning and save the page with more than one database?

Hi all, Is there a way to recount everything (posts / topics / members etc.) and also to fix any BBCODE issues out within posts / signatures. Seems multiple members have their signatures showing BBCode when it's enabled on the forums and they just have to go into their profile and then save signature again and then it works. But it's a pain for all members which have one. I remember in 3.x.x there was a feature which fixed these issues - I thought it was related to recache. I couldn't find a task for it. Cheers

Hi If I want to create a custom block in Pages to display the latest record from a custom database I appreciate I can use the default widgets for latest records in pages however that always displays the author of the record entry and is not what I want - I want to create a custom one so I can control the layout and content. In my custom database I have three database fields for each entry Month (Currently Set as Title)Reason (Currently set as Content)Member (Additional field which stores the member ID in the table)How can I display these in a custom block? How do I call them and display the results to screen? Specifically the Member field is done by utilising the member …

I created a custom block, and the caching is turned off in the area where the content is. I am updating the content dynamically directly into the database from an update statement. Those changes are not showing. How can I make sure that I see the updated information. If I just hit save in the admin area, it updates, how can this be done automatically.I see it says...If your block contains dynamic elements, such as member data, database counts, etc, you will need to prevent this block from being cached. Anyone know how to make sure that whatever is updated in the database table, that it shows instantly with no caching?

Hi, one of my databases has categories, and the first page has a "Category Articles" style template. I would like to put a follow button on the top of the template, like this, to follow the whole database (all categories): <div class='ipsPos_right ipsResponsive_noFloat ipsResponsive_hidePhone'> {template="follow" app="core" group="global" params="'cms','categories' . $category->database_id, $category->_id, \IPS\cms\Records::containerFollowerCount( $category )"} </div>The problem is that i do not know the correct parameters to provide the "follow" template. Anyone knows where is the dev documentation for this or how can i put this working?

Is there anyway of changing the default country from the United States in the address field. My site is based in Australia and would rather it defaulted to Australia. Also is it possible to only allow Australia in the list for Commerce.

Hi guys, struggling with the following: 1) I'd like to use open tags for some pages / forums, and closed tags for others. Is it possible to set this per forum/page instead of site-wide? 2) I wish to use categories for my articles on my main page, but want to hide the index page for those categories. Is this possible? Thanks in advance! Edit: oops, sorry for triple post. Forum gave me an error.

I am trying to figure out proper method to pipe IMAP to the support system. please post a properly formatted string - seems when I save the path to pipe cPanel adds something in front or it needs to be quoted? do you need to have real email accounts for this to work or can you create custom forwarders that pipe to a specific department?

Hi. As far as I know you can have 2 installs of IP Board on your server, the 'live' install and the 'test' install. I wanted to make a fresh install of IP4, so deleted all the files of my test install so that I can install a new one. But when I try to make a new install, the installer says that my license key is already in use. I have tried both my license key and my testinstall license key, neither work. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

I recently purchased IP.Pages and I have no idea how to work with this product. I do not want to build something complicated, I would just use the default theme, and I just want to have a page with articles on a single row (single column) with the left sidebar, as for example is this page http://techpulse.io/news/ (but with the default theme IPS). I hope @Spendon Gavekort not to be bothered because I used his website as an example, and I want to congratulate him in this way for clean and beautiful design of its website. I would be very grateful to those who help me with the necessary instructions, a kind of step by step guide for how to build such a page from the begin…
