Lock Down

Try like this. 3 is the member group.. <if test="$this->memberData['member_group_id']==3">   <div class='block middle'>       <h3>Moderation Tools</h3>               <ul>            <li><a href='FORUM NAME.com/index.php?app=core&module=modcp/'>Mod CP</a></li>         </ul>    </div> </if>

because the rar is not set up as a valid mime type.
 

in admin panel 
Look & Feel > Manage Skin Sets & Templates > Manage Templates Board Index boardIndexTemplate find
<if test="showTotals:|:$this->settings['show_totals']"> <div id='board_stats'> change to
<if test="showTotals:|:$this->settings['show_totals']"> <div id='board_stats' style='display:none'>

Here is a hook I made for that purpose. It should be approved soon.

You can use port 25, 587, or 2525 if you're not encrypting the communication between your system and Mandrill or if you want to use the STARTTLS extension (also known as TLS encryption).
SSL is supported on port 465.
ISPs may redirect traffic on certain ports, so it's up to you which port you use. It's just a matter of what you prefer and what works for you.

None at the moment. You would have to request someone to write one or get the other one and hope someone modifies it for you.

You would be better off setting up wamp or xampp on your home computer than trying this new version on a free server. They have too many restrictions.

Go to the admin panel seo and fill in the meta descriptions.
Board Index Board index page title Specify the title to use for the forum index page. If left blank, the "Community name" setting will be used Meta description Specify the meta description you would like to use on the board index Meta keywords Specify the meta keywords you would like to use on the board index

You did something wrong with the layout. Check your pm.

Try this one. All you would have to do is change the style if you don't like those.

The answer is no if you use the standard rss import for IPB. It reads exactly what the .xml or .rss file has int it.
 
You can however, if you can write php code, add a routine to go to the article link and extract the full article.
 
I have not seen a hook yet created to do this.

All fixed.
 
There was a malformed < a href line

I have looked at it and I think it is due to cloudfare. Do you have cloudfare handling 404? Maybe amrt errors.

OK the removing of the smart errors for cloudfare fixed that screen. Now just add read topic to guest permissions for the forums you want them to read.

Answered but that is totally a different subject. If you don't get my answer start a new topic.
find this

Your backup was incomplete. Rebuilt the topics and everything is showing. The topic titles and forum id was not available from posts so you will need to edit those manually.

Here is the problem. The comma can not be the last thing. It has to be a number.
 
Did you add any new apps or hooks? If not it must have been the way you did the groups the second time.
 
It may be only a restore of the admin_permission_rows, members and groups tables will fix it.
 
PS don't just listen to your friends. Be sure to check the actual errors in the logs sql errors in the admin panel before doing anything.
 
Also a backup before making any changes to you forum is a good thing to have available.

edit template 
Downloads) Download Manager > downloadsPortal find
<if test="showSubCatsLit:|:$link['new']"><li class='newposts'><else /><li></if> add this after it
<span style="font-size: 9px;padding: 1px 3px;margin-right: 9px; font-weight: bold;color: #797979; background: #e7e7e7;float:right;-moz-border-radius: 3px;-webkit-border-radius: 3px;border-radius: 3px;">{parse format_number="$link['cfileinfo']['total_files']"}</span>

Show what you have for that in the userinfopane template. Usually it is as simple as changing this
<li class='post_count desc lighter'> {parse expression="$this->registry->getClass('class_localization')->formatNumber( intval( $author['posts'] ) )"} {$this->lang->words['m_posts']} </li> to this
<li class='post_count desc lighter'> <span class="ft" style="float:right">{$this->lang->words['m_posts']}</span><span class="fc" style="float:left">{parse expression="$this->registry->getClass('class_localization')->formatNumber( intval( $author['posts'] ) )"}</span> </li>

it is saying the ip.nexus version is encoded for php 5.0 and you have php 5.5, So you have to get the updated ip.nexus or remove the php 5.5 and install php 5.0

Well he had at least 2914 according to you. So run this command and change the command from 2914 to what ever you want it to be.
update ipb_members set posts=2914 where member_id=10197;  
 
PS Do you allow guests to post? If you did not delete any other members all those posts must be his.

That is telling you the file is too large. Check the size of the file  and check your admin panel > support > diagnostics > overview
click the words PHP INFO . Search for upload_max_filesize

You should have told me that to start ..     Try this one.
<?php if ( ! $this->registry->isClassLoaded( 'members_hookGateway' ) ) { $classToLoad = IPSLib::loadLibrary( IPSLib::getAppDir( 'members' ) . '/sources/classes/hooks/gateway.php', 'members_hookGateway', 'members' ); $this->hookGateway = new $classToLoad( $registry ); } print $this->hookGateway->statusUpdates(); ?>

It means he has no php experience at all.
 
Here is his while.
<if test="is_array( $records ) && count( $records )"> <div class='ipsSideBlock clearfix' id='recent_articles'> <h3>{$title}</h3> <ul class='block_list'> <foreach loop="$records as $r"> <php>$likeRecs = array(); ipsRegistry::DB()->build(array('select' => 'field_1 as title, field_3 as content, record_updated as date, record_dynamic_url as url', 'from' => 'ccs_custom_database_1', 'where' => 'member_id='.$r['member_id'].' and post_key != "'.$r['post_key'].'"')); $rnew = ipsRegistry::DB()->execute(); while( $rlikes = ipsRegistry::DB()->fetch($rnew) ) // Below is the while he wants { // whatever he wants goes in here } // Above is the while he wants </php> <li> <a href='{$r['url']}'>{parse expression="IPSText::truncate( $r['field_1_value'], 30 )"}</a> </li> </foreach> </ul> </div> <br /> </if>
