Hello! I'm currently having an issue with trying to do a clean install of 4.0RC. When ever I upload the files to my server and try to go to the install page, I get the following errors: On line 13 of index.php, I changed the "\" in the line to "/" and these errors don't show up but instead I get the following: I've checked this out as well but now I'm stumped as to what it is that I have to do here: <?php /** * @brief Initiates IPS Social Suite constants, autoloader and exception handler * @author <a href='http://www.invisionpower.com'>Invision Power Services, Inc.</a> * @copyright (c) 2001 - SVN_YYYY Invision Power Services, Inc. * @license ht…

I have a custom profile field that is displayed in user's profile next to posts. Depending on the option selected, I'm displaying an image with the following code in the display format box: <img src="{content}.png"/>It work's nicely, however, there is an option that in case selected, the field should not be displayed at all. I tried using {{if}} to wrap the <img> tag, but all the code gets displayed in the profile field. Currently I have a blank image set, but it is not ideal, because there's a blank area in users' profiles with that particular option instead of nothing at all.

The text inside topics, posts, articles and blogs got messed up when I upgraded my 3.4.7 forum to the most recent RC version. For example, instead of the word world's, that word was transformed into world–s. In this case it was the apostrophe that got messed up for some reason, but there were other examples, such as ’ instead of a dash. Any idea how I can avoid this from happening when I try to upgrade to IPB4 Gold?

I have made a very simple plugin for IP.Gallery (4.0.0 RC7a) and with Theme Hook tried to add a class to some <ul> list. But, when I went to that IP.Gallery page, the class wasn't there. After that I have tried to insert anything with Theme Hook into DOM, but nothing appers. What's the deal? Does anybody know?

A user pointed out that trying to open a particular thread causes a database error. The thread spans many years and has 236 pages so I'm wondering if that's related somehow. This is my error. I'm pretty new to Invision so I don't know if there are steps I can take to fix this. Any maintenance tips? Do I need support? Driver Error. There appears to be an error with the database. If you are seeing this page, it means there was a problem communicating with our database. Sometimes this error is temporary and will go away when you refresh the page. Sometimes the error will need to be fixed by an administrator before the site will become accessible again.

Hello, Is there a easy way to find and replace text from posts? For example, I am wanting to change all instances of one URL (http://xxxxxx.com/xxxxx) to (http://yyyyy.com/xxxxx) I am thinking an SQL command, but I tried this SELECT REPLACE ('http://xxxxxx.com/','http://xxxxxx.com/','http://yyyyy.com/') and it ran but didn't update anything.

I noticed this all of a sudden. Loading the index of my forum takes three seconds to four seconds, before it even loads the page itself. Loading the sub forums takes around 0.7-0.8 seconds which is OK. Anyone here have any idea why it does this? I'm using memcached with nginx.
