Hi I have a dev board set up and I want to disable all emails from being sent from the dev board during the testing phase. I had just edited the email settings in the ACP to enter fake ones however this causes other errors. Can anyone advise how best to disable emails completely so we can test without our membership getting a whole host of emails from us during the testing phase that will work with IPB4 Thanks

I'm looking for a part-time rock star to do some modification work for the latest version of IPB which we'll be updating to. It's a fairly large site, and there's a fairly extensive liswt of things that need to be done. It's non-profit, so I'm looking for a young, future-star where an outstanding reference from a major IPB will be a feather in his or her cap (and yes, you'l - l make some money, too). Contact Don Rockwell at donrockwell.com - the best email address to use is donrockwell@icloud.com - I have ALL SORTS of questions about ALL SORTS of changes. Are you the person we're looking for? Gosh, I sure hope so. It would be nice if one day, we could overtake Yelp as th…

For those that use the custom fields a great deal, is there any way to get them to show up on the front end with their text (like it shows on the back-end, very fancy-like )? My customers will be filling in several important custom fields and it would be great for them to also be able to see what they chose down the road and wouldn't end up not knowing what I'm responding about if they forget one of the fields they selected. Kind of disappointed that's not just automatically there...unless I missed something? Hugely appreciate any ideas/anything I missed Thanks

Is this option removed? I can't find it, for some reason my members are making like 15 replies after each other (normally ipb 3.4 would merge them)

Hi there, I'm a current customer of IP Board 3.4.6 and looking to move my forum to a new domain. It seems like this is a great opportunity to create a copy of my exisiting 3.4.6 forum on the old domain and move it to the new one with 4.0 and test it out before announcing the move. It is a private, paid community of a few hundred so literally I will send messaging to them when the change comes to the new domain as it is part of larger rebrand of the product the forum is part of. My question is what is the best way to go about this? Should I copy the forum to the new domain and then upgrade it accordingly?

Hi On my dev board which is running RC7 when posting I get an EX2 error if replying to a topic that already exists. If I create a new topic it posts fine. In addition some topics don't cause the issue. I have been through the support - it has corrected a few database errors, cleared the cache and removed whitespace from a couple of files but still the issue persists. Any thoughts or help? Thanks

In the postContainer I found out that {$comment->author()->link( $comment->warningRef() )|raw} is the username of the user that posted a reply and topic. How can I make it formatted? This is the group format, but for some reason its not outputting the name - rather the group.. How can I make it format the name like that? {expression="\IPS\Member\Group::load( $comment->author()->member_group_id )->formattedName" raw="true"} just instead of having that group here, it will only format name with group format: http://i.imgur.com/xrGto30.png

Hello! I wasn't sure what form any coding for a custom block should take so I thought the safe thing to do should be to paste the content from an existing block there, confirm that it works, and then start making adjustments. With this in mind I created a new custom block called Events Test and pasted in the content from the template calendar > front > widgets > upcomingEvents. When trying to place this new customised block on a page I'm greeted with an error. (Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/esperant/public_html/test/tim/suite-17/applications/cms/sources/Blocks/Block.php(195) : eval()'d code on line 1) Is it the case that I'm at fault from …

Hi, I want to upgrade to the latest community suite, so I uploaded the new software to my server. But I don't want to overwrite my existing forum (in case of any errors or malfunctions). So I created a new folder in my current IP.Board installation at the webserver and uploaded the new files. But when I enter my license it says Is there a way to test and install the new version without to deactivate the current one? Thanks!

On my Android phone I can copy an image to the clipboard, then when I click in the editor to post I can't paste. I think in the old editor I could press and hold and a popup would say paste. How do I paste an image using my phone?
