I'm trying very hard to embed a youtube video into IPB 4 and resize it so it's not so big. I know that usually you can post the youtube link and it will embed the video automatically, Unfortunately this isn't working in v4. Literally the only way I can get a video on the post is by using the Insert other Media button on the bottom right and selecting "insert image from URL" But I can't adjust the size of the embedment. I wish I could just edit the post in HTML. But doesn't look like I can do that <----EDIT----> I've found the "Can post in HTML" option in the user roles settings which allowed me to edit in HTML. Now is there a way to allow users to only embed yo…

I have a question regarding the Chat. I have these usergroups in my forum: http://prntscr.com/6pkejp Lower ranks like Chatmods kick Head Admins or Seniors. Is there a way to Prevent Head Administrator, Senior Administrator, and Super Moderator from kicking members of their same rank or higher in the chat? Like, is there some kind of hook for that? As for my second question, I want users to be required to have 30 posts to Enter the chatroom. I saw this in another forum but I dunno of that is a hook or not. Thanks in Advance to anyone who answers these questions for me.

The code editor in IPB only has a drop down for HTML/PHP/CS/JS (why oh why do you never put the most useful one of plain text in there??) From reading the docs on CKEditor and it looks like I should be able to add other supported languages you just need to add something like this to ckeditor\config.js /* Copyright (c) 2003-2015, CKSource - Frederico Knabben. All rights reserved.

I am trying my best to create a plugin I need, I'm not a dev, when I am doing this coding I kinda feel like a fish out of water. That said, can any dev tell me what Class I extend to tap Topics. I am trying to hide topics per group in a single forum. So, that is my question, what Class do I extend and tap into, the rest I will try and muddle through myself.

Anyone using the Easy Mode option to create a theme might want to think twice. Have tried using this a few times now and seem to always find at some point it will not save (build) the theme and get an error message 'There was a technical problem saving this theme' No matter what I do it will not save and so all the work done changing colors (buttons, header, even own custom.css is lost as cannot save and so have to start all over again which for me is a complete waste of time) Am using RC7a and this still happens

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
