Does anyone know how I could create a recent members or visitors block that shows just the user profile photo in 4.1+? I had something in version 3 like: <php> $stats = $this->cache->getCache('stats'); </php> <ul class='ipsList_withminiphoto'> {parse striping="feed_striping"} <foreach loop="$records as $record"> <if test="$this->registry->output->skin['set_key']=='mobile'"> <if test="$record['member_id']"><a href='{parse url="showuser={$record['member_id']}" seotitle="{$record['members_seo_name']}" template="showuser" base="public"}' title='{$record['members_seo_name']}'> </if><img src='{$reco…

Hi, I'm just starting to look into SEO optimization possibilities in IPS4 (version 4.1.17.1) and I can't figure out how to set default meta-tags for each and every inner page based on topics and articles' title and content (for meta description) so that they appear in google search results. I've found this topic which describes exactly what I wanna do but unfortunately there's no reply. I can see that's possible because it seems to be set this way on invisionpower forum. When I look into code source I see that. I've seen the same thing on several IPS websites but I don't know how to set it up. Can someone please help me figure this out ? …

In the Listings template, how do I force a custom field to show in its own column, rather than let it sit quietly underneath the Title of the record? A picture might help here I should add, it would be nice for the field's title to appear as the actual permanent title of that column, with the field's changeable content underneath on each row. Is this possible?

It's hard to explain because i don't know what it is called.....but i used to have these little dots next to read/unread topics. They aren't there anymore. They just disappeared. Anyone know where that setting is? Also, in the signatures...they all migrated over fine, but now everything is double spaced and takes up way to much real estate every time someone posts. Anyone know where i can find that setting? FYI the site is http://www.steveMeadeDesigns.com/board if you want to take a look. thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if this is normal, but in pages, if I have a record set to post into a forum as a topic, all I get in that topic first post is a link that says View full post In IPS3 the entire article/record was within the forum topic first post. In IPS4 it doesn't seem to be the case unless I'm doing something wrong. If that's the case, it should maybe embed the link at least with the auto embed format.

Hello! I dont know which is the appropriate section for this, Has anyone checked banner viewability for half page banners on the sidebar of ip4 ? I checked their viewability and its only 30% which is i think low for a banner above fold. I am wondering if this is normal and perhaps if you have large % of mobile usage of site where the banner will not show up (since the sidebar wont) but maybe the banner tag is beeing called (is that true?) and doesnt get an impression despite being "called" at every pageview? could that be a reason? (dont know how else to describe it!)

I've looked on this site for information about this but apart from the news post there isn't anything I can find via search: The language used here makes me think that this feature is simply always on until you apply the group setting. However, it is not working on my site: This account has numerous name changes and they all appear in the ACP. I've tried it with the default theme and it doesn't work on there either. Is there a setting that I am missing?

Hello! I would like to ask you if anyone has classifieds and has the users (members) move their own finished classifieds (topics) into a "trashbin" forum section. previously we have had it like this members had specific extra privileges in the only certain section that includes all classified ads. we have a rule that everyone has to clean up after his classifieds and is allowed only one topic with all his for sale items because otherwise they are too many. to save space the members have to send their own sold /inactive classified (topics) back to the trashbin forum section (the trashbin section gets deleted every co…

Hello, I am having a problem with the Articles database. I use this database to store my articles which are shown on the front page of the website with one of the templates that IPS 4 ships with (3 columns and featured image). At the moment all article records are visible to all members and guests of the site. I want to start adding premium content in the Articles database that will only be accessible to subscribing members. I can do this by creating a database category and setting custom permissions on that category so that only members in the subscriber group can see the articles. This works. HOWEVER If I do that the index of articles o…
