Ok, so on my forum, the Activity Feed on profiles is not displaying recent activity. "See My Activity" is not working either, but if I use a filter like "posts" it works fine but "All Activity" is empty. Am I missing something, or is something wrong with my install? We did convert from XenForo to IPB3.4.7 then to IPB4. Screenshots:

I've got an odd issue (already opened a ticket 915050) but was curious if anyone else had run across this problem before. The WYSIWYG editor is not loading at all. On replies to posts it looks like it attempts to load with the circle constantly spinning however on posting new topics it doesn't load at all (actually any place the editor is loaded). When attempting to upload a new theme I get a internal server error (non IPS error) and the error logs show: [Wed May 13 11:17:15 2015] [warn] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server, referer: http://cuemu.com/admin/?adsess=0snorhkitah7ir8uspm4at35g3&app=core&module=customizati…

Hello, guys. I'm not starting a riot, just want to hear opnions of what can I do. Bought an APP on marketplace on 7th april called Google CSE Pro http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/6018-hq-google-cse-pro/ to use Google as default search in IPB 3.4.x The app didn't work since day 1... can't get a response from the creator via email, the official topic here or personal message. The installation instructions are pretty straightforward, no trouble here. From you guys, anyone got a problem like these before ? What you guys did to have your money back or the app working ?

What are the suggested file and folder permissions for hosting Invision Power Board 4 on Linux? Want to ensure my shiny new v4 IPB isn't hacked! There was an older article that outlined security of self hosting for previous IPB versions and I'm wondering if that is still applicable or if there is a new one created for version 4.

Hello, I hope I explain this detailed enough but we're having a rather strange issue where when I try and view any of the emails I receive from my forum (quotes, messages, new registrations etc) it freezes my outlook (Office 2013 - office 365 business) and seems to call for the Uploads directory of our forum. I'm sure it'll be permissions issues, but I would have thought they were OK as the installer went through fine. No other emails cause this issue ie viewing twitter emails or normal non forum emails. I've attached a screenshot - hopefully someone can help as it freezes for a good 2-3 minutes before displaying the email. PS - I'm a techie so already tried the whole…

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.

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!!!
