What I want to do is to display only the number of people who liked a post in postbit, instead of their usernames. For example, "10 people like this" instead of "Mark, Andy, Charles and 7 others like this". Is this possible?

Hi everyone, I'm still trying to figure out IPS 4 and i cant find really any documentation on how to use this version. My problem is that when i place blocks on my pages, its hit or miss. sometimes theyll stay, other times theyll disappear and just be how it was before i tried editing it. My main problem at the moment is that I have a wysiwyg block still displaying this missing photo link, on every page of my site. and even after deleting it and clicking finish editing, no matter how many times, how many different browsers etc it will no go away. Can someone please give me an easy run down of pages, menus and how they relate as well as how to properly use a database …

After upgrading to 4.0.6.1, any record images I upload won't display because the code is: <img src="monthly_2015_05/image.jpg.2c18f1540fa4512ea167fe5a4d718722.jpg">Instead of: <img src="http://mysite.com/uploads/custom-path/monthly_2015_05/image.jpg.2c18f1540fa4512ea167fe5a4d718722.jpg">All the existing images are fine, it's only new ones. Anybody else had this issue? Thanks

Hi, Exploring external Db Authentication options in IPB4. My goal to have an external Db, a members suite of apps which handles registration and non forum features. The external Db is managed by non php code, so the "SSO" as IPB think of it via connect, is not suitable. To prove the concept I have a super simple external Db, which IPB is correctly talking to and allowing users to log in via when they exist. In IPB3 there was a external registration url, where to send the user to register etc. That is to say I want the users to register via my other 'members' application, which populates the external Db, then the forums hook into that. Exploring and checking out the code…

Hi all, How can I make my IP content as 2 column? So I can have blocks on the right side? At the moment I can only do top and bottom widgets. But before I upgraded to 4.0, my website was 2 column. Thanks! I can't seem to figure it out.

Thinking about what to do with some bbcode from a 34X site after it eventually moves to IPS4. Playing with my v4 site I can *almost* get a custom button to do what the bbcode did, but not quite. In bbcode I just wrapped a word in the code and it spit out some text with the selection formatted as a search query. I created an editor button but to recreate the effect requires {content} to appear twice in code: <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q={content}">{content}</a> However it fails, like so (this is what appears in the post box: ">{content} If I replace the quotes with single quotes I get a less broken appearing result, but it's merely linked to …

I have a question regarding the download system. Whenever I make the system automatically generate a post with the screenshot, the screenshot is broken in the topic view but when you go to to download section, the screenshot is intact and fine. How can I fix this issue? Also, is there a way to use the notification system (in-line notification) when a download is waiting approval? Does it have to be email based? Can I change it to a inline notification instead? Cheers.

I received a request from a member who prefers to read his e-mails by conversation. When someone replies to a post in 4.0 and instant e-mail notifications are enabled, the recipient receives an e-mail with the subject: {member name} commented on {topic title} so when viewing e-mail in conversations each mail is separate. How can I change this to read: There is a new comment on {topic title} which will allow for e-mail conversations to work. I'm sure it's in ACP --> Customizations --> email but I lack the talent to decipher the HTML and make the change, can anyone help? Or is it in the language setting?

I want to display postcounts that are > 1000 as abbreviations, for example, 1055 posts would be 1K, 26500 posts would be 27K etc. It's not important enough to bother with a hook/plugin, but I was wondering if there's maybe an very easy way to do it that I don't know of?

The post rebuilt process is still going on and the quotes seem to fine, but I see that there is no blank line or space after quotes in rebuilt posts after upgrade from 3.4.7 to 4.0.6.1. It's extremely nice that the quotes are being rebuilt so this is just a minor issue. But I would like to know if this a known issue and if there is a solution available.

My forum home page is set to forums. Since upgrading to 4.0 (currently on 4.0.6.1) the home page is significantly slower for members who are logged in vs guests. The exact same blocks are in use for both members and guests, however member access is significantly slower. The only difference that I see is guests can't see the upcoming events but they get ads, otherwise both members and guests see the same thing. Any thoughts on where to look? http://wheelhorseforum.com

Why the hell can people without the "post HTML" privilege copy-paste HTML content into CKEditor and the forum software will just take that? Is this a bug in 4.0.61, or did I just miss it in earlier versions?
