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?

I am trying to find an example that will allow me to generate a topic from a submitted form on an external webpage. I have read this https://www.invisionpower.com/support/guides/_/advanced-and-developers/api-methods/topic-posting-library-classpostphp-r260 and am completely lost on if I am able to integrate this into an external script or not. What scripts do I need to call, how do I format this... Thanks!!!

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…

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm trying to do a test upgrade on my forum to IPB 4. I made a copy of all my main forum files into a sub folder, updated the conf file to reflect a new url and the backup mysql DB but only a white page loads making me unable to upgrade. Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Hi, I upgraded to the 4.0.3 release and now I seem to have  symbols in posts. I had this before when I moved my database to a new host but resolved it by changing the encoding I think.

Hey guys, Before upgrading to 3.4.7 I had different functionalities that depend on the random feature - random article for the day, random quote of the day and few others. Since, we do not have such random option in Pages now, 4.0.3 version (I hope they will add it in the future versions), I need to do it manually. As I understand it, now I need to create a custom PHP block with code that connects to the Pages database and then shows the random article. I have no idea how to do that after the migration to 4.0. I even do not know how to do the simple thing of connecting to the Pages database. And I really need this because multiple functionalities after I upgraded to 4.0.3…
