I have an "About Me" page on my website which is in a DB called "About LiquidFractal." I've noticed that when this page is viewed, the generated page title is "About X - About LiquidFractal - LiquidFractal," following a Record>DB>website format. Could someone please tell me how I can customise the display template so that just the record title displays for the HTML title, i.e. "About X"? This isn't only cosmetic, as I know that Google will sometimes penalise code which needlessly repeats keywords. Incidentally, this also happens in the Who's Online view, where someone will be listed as "Currently viewing About X - About LiquidFractal - LiquidFractal," so…

Hello. I wonder it is possible to “lock” topic for guests? For example the forum is open for guests, they can see/read topics, but maybe its possible to make just some topics locked for unregistered users? I DON’T WANT TO HIDE IT FOR UNREGISTERED USERS, I want that they can see it, but when they try to enter they need to get message like “You need to register to view this topic” (or smthg like that) Maybe it’s its possible with standard ipb functions? Or there is some plugins? Thank you.

We have an internal forum for sharing tech info etc. within the company I work at, that is fairly low volume. I would like to have it configured so that anytime there is a new topic, that all members get a notification... What is the best way to accomplish this?

When I click the page builder button, it just loads that page in my browser normally, as if I had just navigated to it. The URL does have block manager in it at the end, but, no editing tools show up at all. Anybody else have this issue, or know what could be causing it? Thanks.

Good morning, I need to change the base URL for the community, but I can't find the option to change it. I have found some information about the license and the URL, but I can't find where to update or change the license to change the URL. So much thanks

I'm interested in exploring this idea and would like to know if it can work in the way I am thinking I run a beekeeping forum. It has a need for guests (who have no intention of joining the community) to leave contact details to members so that they can get swarms in their local area collected. So I'd like to add in a location required box I'd like the content to be posted in a members only accessible forum or better still a club, not sent via email There may need to be some form of spam control Possible? If so how is it done? If its not out of the box, what component is used to create the question popup?

So, if this is simply me misunderstanding the settings, please feel free to correct me. I am new to admin-ing IPB 4.2 and it is entirely possible I'm missing something obvious. My situation: I have a large and thriving community, its going great, and users love the new forum vs the old one. This thing is great. BUT! I have a large (around 100) group of users from an earlier community that still use a listserv, which if anyone doesnt know is an ancient email communication system. We hope to retire this listserv and move everyone to the new forums. My main issue is that the listserv members want emails for EVERYTHING that occurs in their area, by default. So I was t…

I have set popular now to 5 replies in the last month yet only two topics show as popular. Even though there are probably close to 100 with that criteria.

Hi Everybody! I'm using and loving IP Board. Just one question: How can I deactivate the ability of CURRENT members to tag FORMER members? If somebody is not a current, paying member I do NOT want them to be taggable using the @ function. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm not sure what the technical term is - I think it's to embed? Let me describe what I'm wanting and maybe someone knows of a plugin that would work or if it's built into IPS already. I want the ability to take the forum or parts of the forum say a category and have it load on another site. I was thinking iFrame, but that will bog on mobile devices I've noticed. I know in discourse I have the option to generate a script and have it embedded on a wordpress site or any location. Do we have access to anything like this?

I'm trying to test a Promotion Rule to take a New Member up to a Member. How Often Does The Member Promotion Rule Run? If I enable the rule now, how long should it take to move a member that meets the criteria? Well, it must be almost immediate I guess. Once you get the rule correctly written!

I am using clubs for site sponsors and at times rather than deleting a club i need to hide it from public view. Similar to hiding topics. I still need the club and its content but for a certain time i need a way to hide a specific club. I know i can make the club private but if its already an active club surely the people who are already members will still see it. Is there such a feature as to hide a club???
