I am trying to figure out where or how to edit the array for the bday_year field for the registration form?" We have searched, and searched, and cannot find it anywhere. One of the sites I am on it is important that we can remove "Not Telling" from the array so it only shows the years.

I did a test upgrade for my community and overall it is ok. I'm planning in the next couple of days to do the live upgrade to 4.0.2. However, the background tasks for the test upgrade are still running. I used the manual option to start them: Now, obviously I want to stop the background processes on the test upgrade, so I do not overload the server with background processes running on 2 sites in the same time - for the test upgrade and for the live upgrade. How I can do that? How do I stop all background processes for my test site (without deleting/crashing the test site obviously)?

The filter option has moved under Sort By -> Custom. But there is apparently no option to retain a filter; it must be recreated each time a user visits the site. Is there another way to retain filter settings?

I have purchased and installed IPB 4.0 yesterday, it is awesome I am selfhosted. I have made an directory inside my domain on FTP. I called the directory "forum", when installing I have given the information "mydomain.de/forum". So everything worked. It installed, I am in full control of the board. In my client area it shows "mydomain.de/forum" as my licensed URL. Perfect. But in my board, when I click on "calander" for example. I am getting this link: http://mydomain.de/forum/index.php?/calendar/ Why is there that "index.php?". How can I remove it? Is it because forum is the same URL name as "forum" from the board? I am confused. I hope you guys can help me, thank yo…

Ever since installing 4.01 I keep getting this EX126 error on the homepage of the forum. Also is there a way to restart all the reputation to zero? When I try to do it to individual profiles it won't save because I had some custom fields in the profiles before and I can't delete them.

I'm trying to make some changes to CKEditor through the config file but struggling a bit. I'm looking to add: config.forcePasteAsPlainText = true; and config.ignoreEmptyParagraph = false; (I'm thinking this will remove the extra empty paragraphs which are created when a user hits enter several times after a post) I've added the lines to the config.js in applications > core > interface > ckeditor > ckeditor but neither work /* Copyright (c) 2003-2015, CKSource - Frederico Knabben.

Hi there. After the upgrade to 4.0.1, the old IP Tracker is no longer in support. I heard and can see there is a Bug Tracker officially from IPB. I wonder, how do I install it? How do I get it? Kind regards, <3

In 3.x IP.Content, I had a custom field for my articles where I stored a topic ID, and then in the article's display template, I set a link to the topic simply adding the ID and a dash, like so "www.site.com/topic/666-", and it would automatically find the topic. That doesn't work in 4.x, so with the topic ID I have stored, I'm looking for a way to generate the full URL to the topic in the article's display template. Edit, I found that I can use ?showtopic=ID... but that doesn't look pretty, how can I generate the actual friendly URL?

Does anyone have a script they are using to register a user outside of the /forum folder. I have a php registration form I would like to use outside of the forum as it matches the rest of my main site. I know there is a lot of checks and balances that go into registering a new member. So anyway code I can drop into a php page to create a new member registration. This code is from bfarber and it works but wanting to do checks to see if the username exists and then automatically login them in, any code samples would be extremely helpful? <?php require 'init.php'; $member = new \IPS\Member; $member->name = $memberName; $member->email = $memberEmail; $member->…
