When you create a language you can enable the language option for your community... In the bottom side of your community there appears the language option, and when you click on it, with the language name there appears a flag with it... How must I do to change the flag that it appears and show another one? For example, by default English comes with USA flag, how can I change this flag? Thanks

I've set up a database with categories. What I would like to do is have some fields apply to only one of those categories, not everything else in the database. How do I do that? Is it possible?

I used several different custom fields in IP.Content for my article system, such as a teaser paragraph, image caption, author description, and so on. But for some reason only the teaser paragraph field is visible in IPB 4 when I try to add a new article or edit an old one. How do I make the other fields work as well? Thanks for any help! Edit: Wow. I've been trying to find a solution to this problem this whole morning. And 10 minutes after I post this topic I find the solution! For others that are having the same problem, this is how you fix it: In your ACP, go to the page Categories and select your category. Choose "Form Fields", and under "Use Fields" select all. …

I'm familiar with adding new buttons to the editor (and am slowly converting old bbcode to the new system) but when I try to add a new separator it appears all the way to the left on the editor, and is unmovable. What's a good workaround for this?

My community requires that we are able to set users as banned, but still be able to access the public content. Now, I am well aware that it we could create a group to move people to, however the current functionality of the banned option is perfect, apart from the fact we want to allow banned members to signout. I tried adding a logout button to the template, however this just results in the constant error of not allowing a banned member to do anything. Is there a way of doing this?

Hi All, In version 3.x of IP.Board, I could grab a copy of our forum from our website (sql dump and file copy) and create a local instance on my computer for the purposes of development. I just tried this in version 4.03 and it does not like it, icons and styling are out of whack and things are missing as you can see from the attached image. Probing further, on our public web server copy there are 7 JS files stored in uploads/javascript_global, on my local copy there are now 746 JS files and the names are different and there seems to be many duplicates. Since the names are different, it's causing referencing issues that are likely causing the the issues outlined above…

After upgrading from IPS 4rc7 to IPS 4.0.2, I found some problems: When trying to access an article, I am told that the content I am looking for cannot be found ( "We could not locate the item you are trying to view" ). I attached a screen snippet of the error I am getting. The title of the page (The test displayed in my browser tab) says that I don't "have the permission for this". The error code given is 3T252/2. How should I proceed?

In IPB 3 it was possible to make blocks that only displayed one article/record. For example, I could make one block that only displayed the first article, I could then make another block that only displayed the second article, and so on. But I don't see any option to do this in Pages in IPB 4. Or am I blind or something?

Hi, i am trying to get used to the databases in Pages. So far i have been able to replicate the famous "bug tracker". I hope someone who's handy at databases in Pages could tell me how to: 1) After 15 days have passed since a user has posted a record, a button to "bump" the record up in the listing should appear on the record display screen. How do i do this? 2) The "Bump" would have to set the publish date of the record as "today's date", as they are ordered by publising data (most recent on the top). How can i do this? I would be very grateful if someone could help me. P.S. - Please move this topic if it's not on the right place.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but is there a way to make all groups view signatures by default? It seems that viewing signatures is off by default now and I can't find where to change that.
