Hi, I use some of the forum grid view css styles on my own page. Is there a way to force the "forums.css" file to get loaded? Per default it is not getting loaded on an own page. Of course I could use a <link stylesheet> tag to load it, but that would then a fixed one from the current theme. If I allow my users to change the theme (dark/light mode) I would not be able to point to the "forums.css" of the current selected skin, but would always hard code to the file of one specific theme. So I wonder if there is a way to get the "forums.css" file automatically loaded? If have tried to place all forum widgets/blocks on the page, but none triggered t…

I've self hosted my IPB for all of eternity, I'm looking to switch hosting providers which will move all current data over for me. Would a move like this be mostly seamless and keep the site up and running or would it corrupt the forums and need a full reinstall?

Hi all, I renewed our license yesterday and attempted a long overdue upgrade. Our last one was probably in November. I was able to get through the download and extract stage, but could not proceed further than that. The step 4 page did not have a "continue" button. I tried both Chrome and Safari. I asked the other admins on our team to give it a try, but they could not move past the login page, as there are no fields to enter login info. Now we can't even access our admin cp. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can somebody help me to understand how Elasticsearch should be configured on the Plesk Server with Docker extension? The goal: using Elasticsearch for multiple IPS communities. Questions: 1. In AdminCP, I have to configure Elasticsearch Index Name (It is important to use different index names if multiple Invision Community installations are using the same Elasticsearch instance). In Plesk I see this: Where Elasticsearch Index Name is configured? Is it a container name, volume mapping or environment variable? 😵 2. Right now, Elasticsearch does not run. The error is: at least one of [discovery.seed_hosts, discovery.seed_providers, cluster.i…

I created a very simple plugin to query results. My query is this: \IPS\Db::i()->select( '*', 'forums_topics', '(approved = 1) AND (forum_id = 2)', 'rand(), start_date desc limit 5 ) ->join('core_members', 'member_id = starter_id') ); I then run it through a loop: foreach ($sql as $row) { $users[] = \IPS\Member::constructFromData($row); } And finally I return this value to the template: return $this->output($users); The issue is that I am seeing repeat results, even though the query returns unique results. So $sql[0…

How do I customise a Category Listing template in Pages so that sub-category records (as well as category records) are visible, preferably in a masonry-style layout with pagination (similar to the 'Category 2 Column First Featured' template that's seemingly designed only for top-level category indexes)? For example, I have the following Pages database/category structure: domain.com/articles domain.com/articles/features domain.com/articles/news (three records exist) domain.com/articles/news/games (five records exist) domain.com/articles/news/comics (two records exist) domain.com/articles/news/movies (three records exist) For the /articles/ top-leve…

Hi guys, looking for some help here. I'm trying to build some custom code so that I can display a list of 'related news/articles' that's associated with a particular Page record. I'm using the Database Relationship fields to make this connection work (I have two databases: "News", and "Info", and on the News database I have the Database Relationship field to enter a page from the Info database if the news article is related to it). On the related Info Page, I want to return three variations of a list of articles from the News database: A list of News articles that happens to be in the 'Features' category (ID is 10), and happens to have the prefix "Reviews" …

Hello On our forum, I would like users to be able to post ads and auctions as well as buy and sell their stuff. I am looking for a solution. I only searched for Classifieds System but there aren't a few options that I am looking for. For example, I am looking for the possibility of searching in the current advertisements, adding a group of filters that I can set myself. I would also like to be able to choose whether the completed ads can be archived or disappear from the list. I am also looking for a possibility for the user to be able to buy additional marking of his auctions that will make them stand out from the crowd. I would like …

Hello, what is the link to the cover photo of a user? I want to show the cover photo of the user in the post sidebar. For this I changed the "postContainer" template a little bit and added the following code. <div class="coverphoto" style="background-image: url(LINK_TO_COVER)"></div> Unfortunately I don't know exactly how to get the link of the respective cover photo. Can anyone help me with this? So far I have everything ready, it just hangs on the link. I tried it with "{$coverPhoto->file->url}" and "{$member->coverPhoto->file->url}", but it didn't work.
