Hi, I am trying to replicate this help guide style that Invision uses for their own support guides. Specifically, I am interested in the left-side navigation, the breadcrumbs at the top, and the top-right TOC. Any ideas on how I can do this? Is there a module I can buy? I have programmers that can probably script it, but frankly they are somewhat lost at where to even start. Any suggestions? I know Invision used the Pages/Databases modules, which I own, but after that I am pretty lost in how to do this.

Here's the code I use to put ads in the topic list (e.g. after the 20th topic) using CSS Selector [data-pageapp="forums"][data-pagemodule="forums"][data-pagecontroller="forums"] .cTopicList .ipsDataItem:eq(20) I have also used similar code to put ads after so many posts div[data-role="commentContent"]:eq(14) But does anyone know how to put an ad between actual categories?

Hi, I've been requested within the company to have our Intranet (IPS) to be displayed as tiles rather than like a Blog. However, I'm not sure if this can be done or there is any themes already out there which is like that? The only method I can think of would be to create a splash page with tiles and manually design and refer the tiled images to link to parts of our Intranet. However I'd like to imagine there is a plugin or something within Pages which allows the news and such to be tiled on the homepage. Any ideas? Look similar to BBC.co.uk/news

Hey Team! I have a very strange issue that has just started to occur in the last 2 weeks. My set up is using the SSO plugin from @stoo2000 to create accounts from my wordpress site and whilst everything has been working golden for ages, in the past 2 weeks random new registrations are overwriting existing member accounts. EG: I created a new member today ( 02/09/2021 ) and the registration date on the IP Board account is 07/01/2020. The wordpress account has the correct registration date. One of our new signups has already overwritten an active account which I'm sure you can imagine is a horrible situation and I'm at a complete loss of what to do. I re…

Hi and hello, I recently moved to a new hosting company. Trying to install a new 'test-forum' next to my working forum, I ran into a "429 Too many requests" error. Having contacted the hosting company they say that the forum-installation process makes "too many" AJAX calls in too short of time and suggested that I asked IPB if there was a way to slow down these AJAX requests. So I did and the answer was that there was no way to change the speed in which it installs and it should be solved at the hosting end. I contacted my hosting back and their only solution is for me to go VPS or Dedicated Server, costing me more money then I have. On top of…

Guys, hello everyone! Can someone tell me or share. In general, I want to draw a new design for my community, but I can't find which grid to use for fluid layout and which for fixed layout. Can anyone have or have seen a mockup, prototype template / theme for the IPS? There are probably theme designers or developers here. I would be very grateful if you share 🙏

Getting to many action required emails from FB as of late. Today we have entirely removed the FB login and app from their developer side at their insistence we provide a way for users to delete accounts. While i know apps exist for letting users delete their accounts, I'm not prepared to pay for what should technically be standard functionality these days. Until that gets added in the base app I will not be looking at FB again and recommending anyone stay away from that FB login headache.

We wish to create a single scroll kind of facebook feed that loads all the above randomly or in set order. Wondering if any module exist in marketplace to achieve this? Appreciate your help and suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I've been thinking about how I can make it clearer to my members how certain forums cannot be viewed by guests and my preference would be to have a tag like suffix after the forum name, (or even just an icon of sorts) but how can I ensure it only appears on forums that guests cannot see? (I would add this directly into the forumRow template). I was sad to see that the forum title (in ACP forum management) does not support HTML, because that would have made things a lot easier. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone I'm looking for a way to get a custom profile field from current user to template. I was not able to see any reference about it at the docs I'm expecting to use a custom field as radio and get this value/index and use its raw value, something like: <?php \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->profile()->custom()->field('custom'); Best

Whenever I try to log in to the migrated IPB forum it just refreshes the page endlessly, not errors no nothing, nothing works, It might be caching issues but i'm not sure how to fix it? Deleting the datastore or manually editing config files might fix it but not sure what exactly to edit. Also the old servesr used nginx now I switched to apache if that can cause any issues.

I need to login in Marketplace on my test installation, that is protected by .htaccess. It's a Plesk managed server, I am server admin dummie, I can only Plesk 😁 How can I allow Marketplace login without opening test installation for the public? Btw opening test installation for the public is not allowed by IPS rules. Yes, I know that I can open it, login und then protect again. But if login is lost, I have to make it again and again and on every test installation I have. It is tedious. Is there a simple way to allow Marketplace login without removing .htaccess protection for the whole installation?

I have never like the way the member name is placed in the profile header, looks ugly to me and most cases not readable for the member title, see pic. Would look much better under the member avatar and would also not interfere with a background profile photo if placed there. Anyone know how to do this or is IPS interested in cleaning this up? Thanks

Hi guys, I recently migrated my community to another domain and I'm a bit unsure how to move forward with all the posts that contain references to my old domain (outside of the IPS suite). I do have redirect forwarding on so the links do forward correctly to my new domain, but obviously, I need to update them. I've contacted support and they suggested maybe a manual SQL query, but this isn't really something they help with and I'm hoping that someone here has encountered some problem like this in the past and knows a potentially easier way. Won't I have to re-index all the posts as well once I've changed all this, via some kind of background task?

I have added back the alternating row colors for the topic lists (ipsDataList_zebra) in my forum, but I noticed that does not work on the article class for posts, like in this thread. Is there a magic trick I can do to alternate posts in a thread between color1 and color2 ? I remember with IPB 3.x we actually had CSS class for post1 and post2 with the color set, and I think "special" post colors like moderated/answered simply overrode it. I've been looking at postContainer, but I can't see how I can set a post1 and post2 color that also lets the other classes override this (like highlighted/moderated etc).

I have inherited a large codebase of phtml code with mix of HTML and PHP, but with very poor formatting. It's around 5K lines in a single file. My IDE IntelliJ doesn't support phtml. Is their any IDE or online editor where I can quickly reformat this file to fix the tab/space issues? It's one time task, so I am flexible with any solution.

I need to mass move topics and have found a way I think will work. In the database table forums_topics I plan on move all topics containing a keyword in "title" and change "forum_id" from 909 to "forum_id" 414. This successfully moved a topic from one sub forum to another. Is there anything else I need to think of when doing this? Are there any other dependencies that might crash this method?

Hoping someone may have some ideas here. We had a big incident some months ago and were forced to ban a member. Recently, he has been allowed to use an friend's old account on the forum. This all came through a "friend of the friend" who was unwilling to divulge the name of the account being used. Checked the IP Address of the banned account, but it is not showing up again. Does anyone know of other ways to trace activity and link it to a certain member?
