    I’m glad you were able to get it squared away!

    It will also mean needing to manually make the change with every upgrade/update as IPB will override any modifications with a default/clean version. It will also mean that the ACP complains about modified files. Again… not the end of the world, but just making sure you know the impact. It might be worthwhile if this is important to check with a 3rd party resource developer to see if this could be put into a plugin. It would preserve the changes between upgrades and not cause any many disruptions.

    Marc... here's a dumb question... In ACP > System > Settings > Posting there is an option under "Force posted links to open in new windows?" that allows users to rebuild existing content. Would that rebuild also catch the current settings for emoji and apply it as part of the rebuild? (Just trying to think outside of the box a bit on this.)

    IPS does not make old versions of the software available. If you did not download it before 4.7.4 was available, you would need to wait until your host installs PHP8. Also... many hosting providers enable the ability to run multiple versions of PHP. Check with them to see if they can allow you to choose which version of PHP you run on your site. Once they install PHP8, you'll then be able to switch to it at your convenience.

    As per another topic, this appears to be a bug within Samsung S22 devices.

    Access to the Source Code needs to be enabled on a per-group basis. Edit the group that you want to have this ability and enable "Can Post HTML": Now... you should generally be very careful with this... someone could maliciously use this to add bad stuff to your site that you're not intending. I would only give it to admins/moderators or specific trusted users. For the other things you asked about... checkboxes and tables, etc... those aren't in the default version of ckeditor that IPB uses. You can look on https://ckeditor.com/cke4/addons/plugins/all and possibly install an extra button into the editor. (ACP > Customization > Editor > Toolbar) IPB uses ckeditor 4.18, so make sure you one that is compatible with that version. (Note: IPS does not provide official support for 3rd party editor plugins.)

    Use the support link and then click the link to clear the system cache.

    The authenticity is done through SPF and DKIMM. It’s not done within the IPS suite. Are you using your own mail server in the SMTP settings or are you using the default IPS mail settings?
  10. Randy Calvert
    This is because you most likely don’t have SPF and DKIM setup. You’ll need to contact your host for assistance with this.

    You need to remove the recovery flag now that it is complete. 🙂 If that was the only thing in constants file, just delete the whole file. If there were other things just remove the recovery line and reupload.
  12. Randy Calvert
    As per: If you don't have a file named constants.php in the root of your site (meaning in the same folder as conf_global.php), you simply create a new file with that what is noted above and upload it to your site. Once recovery mode is complete, you'll then remove it afterwards. (The ACP will not let you login with recovery mode enabled once it's disabled everything.)

    This sounds like the other site is using a CDN that is actually caching the base pages. With a CDN... if the caching rules are not setup correctly... if I come to the site and visit a page logged in as me, it stores that page... INCLUDING all the content that I see on the page. The next person that comes along that connects to the same CDN server gets served the same page instead of going back to the origin. This is why if you do use a CDN, you must either not cache base pages OR configure it to ignore cache for logged in users. 🙂
  14. Randy Calvert
    You can use recovery mode to disable all of your 3rd party resources. Basically you’re creating (or adding to an existing) constants.php file that has a variable that enables recovery mode. Once you upload the file, visit your ACP. When you login, you’ll see a message about things being disabled. Once it finishes, remove that variable. That should fix your issue. Make sure you update your third party resources. If no updates are available you might need to remove it.

    If you are on 4.6.0 or 4.6.1, it’s not however. If someone says 4.6 without being specific… I generally assume 4.6.0. The safest way is to do it the way I outlined. If you don’t want to do it, feel free to do whatever you want. I would suggest making sure you have a backup right before just in case. 🙂
  16. Randy Calvert
    The only way to do that I believe is to disable it entirely. Otherwise I believe you would need a custom modification to do what you’re asking.

    They still have not even assigned a date to it yet. Until there is an actual date, I’m not sure there is much concern to worry. It’s not like they just say “oh you got 7 days”. 🙂
  18. Randy Calvert
    For someone who was feigning harassment and claims of being targeted earlier… you certainly love to do it yourself. 😉 Happy holidays!

    4.6 does not support PHP8. 4.7.4 does not support PHP7. It creates problems where you’re stuck mid way through if you use the upgrader. This way is the safest way you can do the upgrade without things breaking mid-upgrade.
  20. Randy Calvert
    Ahhh haaaa… found it. check out:

    Now that you MUST be on PHP8, you will want to upgrade PHP first then upgrade your IPB. Back when that was first posted, both versions were supported so it could be done that way. This is what I would do… I would first review all of your third party resources… update anything that needs updated and disable anything else (at least temporarily). Switch back to a default theme Upgrade to PHP8 Use the compatibility checker to make sure you have all of the required modules. Download the IPB files from the client area and upload them to your website. (Don’t use the auto updater.) Visit domain.com/admin/upgrade One done review resources and tenable them along with theme.

    I could not find an official answer in the docs, but any content that you feature can be promoted across your community using blocks. For example on your home page or in a sidebar or in a page. There is the “Our Picks” block that is a pre created widget that highlights this content or you could create custom feeds of topics that are marked featured. In a nutshell, it helps you curate manually selected items in your community across different areas that could be a “best of” or something similar.
  23. Randy Calvert
    If this is important, it might be worth considering reaching out to a third party resource author. New gateways are not added very often. Very few people have been clamoring for it, so I would not expect annything anytime soon.
  24. Randy Calvert
    Since it’s working, until ckeditor forces their hand, don’t expect to see it change. It’s a huge component and critical to everything… it touches practically every part of the suite. Changing it literally will be MONTHS of dev time that stops everything else. Like PHP7, once it’s actually EOL’ed… it’ll be done. Until then, I don’t see it changing. Maybe go ask ckeditor when they’re going to finally let the old version die. 😉 Once that known, you’ll know when it will be updated.
  25. Randy Calvert
    This is not possible with mentions. There is a plugin that lets you do it with groups… If you want it to go out to literally EVERYONE though, I would suggest looking at the new alerts feature.
