If you do want to use the editor though, you can change the color using the "Text Color" button, which is an underlined "A".

 

That is the problem, there is no underlined "A" in the small pop-up description editor which was always there in older versions

I have not added a new category in several years and just added a new one and no longer see the color icon in the description editor? What am I missing as I want the description to be a different color?

Thanks

This app works great on forum don't know about blogs?

Thanks Marc, that makes sense

Hey no problem, thanks for trying to help. I think this is a serious bug in the software as validating members should not be able to post etc until approved!

Any comment IPS since this issue has been reported for years now with no resolve that I could find????

Thank You

So, just so I understand this better--

Change the conf_global.php id to match the  member group (in my case "Validating" which is id 13)

All new registrations will then go into the "Validating" member group

When the admin manually approves the registration will it stay in the "Validating" group or will it automatically be transferred to the "Members" group (which is what I would want)?

Thanks

Do you allow external log ins such as Facebook?  I do not believe those are validated.  One of the reasons I turned all of the off.

Nope, none of those are allowed, like you all are turned off.

Yes, I have mine the same way. This appears to have been a bug for a very long time. I found posts here from back in 2017 with the same issue that validating members are able to post on the forums BEFORE they have been approved manually by an admin. I have the same problem and apparently the issue has never been resolved. Validating members should have no more posting rights than a guest until approved!

Thanks

I have a group set up under Member> Groups called "Validating" which I have certain permissions set so they can't post etc. Whenever a new registration comes in it always goes into the "Members" group but I need them to go into the "Validating" group until they have been manually validated and at that time they would then be in the "Members" group? Is this possible?

There is a tab in the ACP> Members that says "Validating" and the new registration are actually in there and in the "All" also.

Basically I just want it so that any validating members can not post until approved by an admin

Thanks

How do you set which member group the new/validating registrations go into until they are manually validated by the admin?

Thanks

Change the value of member_group inside the conf_global.php file to the id of the group that you want your new members to have by default when registering.

Where do you find the id of the group?

Thanks

I have validating members able to post on the forum which I think I have permissions set so that they can't? What am I missing? This is for 4.6

Thanks for any help

Marc,

The editing seems to have fixed itself on its own so may have been a server glitch of my hosting company. The extra space added behind the theme name still exists. Running Windows 10 and editing the templates in the ACP with the IPS editor and FireFox 92.0.1

Like the OP I am seeing some really strange things with the templates. I created a new theme from the IPS original and it is pulling templates from another customized theme. The new theme templates are showing that they have not been modified but yet are displaying templates from another customized theme? The new theme is set with no parent theme.

I also just went to download and save my original customized theme and it is adding a space behind the theme name so instead of overwriting the saved theme it is creating a new saved theme, weird. Also the file size in nowhere near what it should be.

Don't know if this is related but when I edit a template in 4.6.6 the edit takes place after the save, but if i want to revert the template the edit remains in place and no way to change it back. In other words the revert does not work nor does removing the edit and saving the template work.

Thanks

Thanks for the update!

I did some more research here on the IPS forums and it seems that any changes on the front end will have zero effect on anything in the ACP as that functionality was removed several years ago. So guess it is what it is!

ACP > Customization > Themes > Click the 'pencil' icon on the right of a theme> Click the 'Custom' tab at the top of the list of tabs > Turn 'rounded photo's off >

Why are the member avatars rounded in the ACP when that option has been disabled for the forum? The forum shows square avatars but the ACP shows rounded ones? 4.5 was the same way.

Thanks

You did the wrong one--

To change the Sign Up to “Register”

ACP> Customizations button> Languages> Click the globe icon>

Enter “Sign Up” in the search box

Scroll down to Sign Up

Change to Register   (or whatever you want)

To color the sign in button

ACP> Customizations button> Theme </>> CSS tab> custom.css

Add the code and change the color to whatever you want–

/**
*changes the color of the register button
*/
#elUserNav > li > a#elRegisterButton {
  background-color: #64C463;
}

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

Can you also post Wanted ads with this?

Yes you can 👍

Is this what you want put in custom.css (change the background color to whatever you want)--

/**
*adds the zebra stripes between topics
*/
.ipsResponsive_pull .ipsDataList .ipsDataItem:not( .ipsDataItem_selected ):not( .ipsModerated ):not( .ipsDataItem_new ):not( .ipsDataItem_success ):not( .ipsDataItem_warning ):not( .ipsDataItem_error ):not( .ipsDataItem_info ):not( .ipsDataItem_status ):nth-child(even) {
	background: #F7F7F7;
}

Thanks guys, that explains it!
