Upgrade from 3.4.9 to 4.4.10 is really horrible. I had board at forum.domain.tld But I wanted board in root, so I copied 4.4.10 files to root and ran upgrade script. When it finished it's upgraded, but all images and maybe css too are loaded from forum.domain.tld/uploads when I manually move /uploads/ to root of new installation, after refreshing all pages (admin including) are without any images and css. Where everywhere are saved settings from old board? I need get rid of all forum.domain.tld settings.

I need to add an upsell button to an invoice. When a person is in the invoice at https://tealswan.com/checkout/{invoiceID}/ i would like to add a button that adds an item to the invoice. I found this function, but I don't know how to generate the \Item. IPS\nexus\Invoice::addItem( \IPS\nexus\Invoice\Item $item, $cartKey = NULL ) To generate the Item I also need to generate a currency but if I do \IPS\nexus\Money::__construct ( $amount, $currency ) as $money = IPS\nexus\Money::__construct( 199, 'USD' ) it just shows error. Any place I can see some examples? Or someone can help?

I'm trying to understand what people think the right amount of plugins are for an IPS Board? I suppose the same goes for Applications. I can only imagine the worlds your oyster, however I've already learned the issue of having too many is that when a problem arises there is many plugins to disable and check through. There's some great developers on here and they've created some amazing applications and plugins that are so useful that you would hope that some become a core piece of software. What are the Pros/Cons to having more plugins/applications in your opinion? Do you suffer on load times? Does there come a point where a plugin you depend upon should be writ…

Hi there. 👋 I am working on enabling a Site Speed Accelerator (SSA) for my forum to speed loading up. The SSA is causing some errors that I'm sorting through. One of them is via the mobile navigation menu. Whenever you click the menu icon on mobile with the SSA enabled, it refreshes the page. Example: https://streamable.com/u54smu The company with the SSA advised me to change the following: From: <a href="#"> To: <a href = "javascript: void(0)"> I tried doing this in the mobileNavBar, mobileNavigation, mobileNavigationChildr…

Hi, would anyone know what happens when I discontinue Facebook login? I have been using it for some time now and some of my users have access created that way. What happens if I discontinue the FB login/registration? I assume they won't be able to access their account. Is there any elegant way how to avoid any issues (and discomfort to users) during such transition?

Activity streams are super useful for my community, and I've got a whole bunch of streams created for my users and organised nicely in a series of menus. However, I'd like users to still be able to save their own custom streams too, but their custom streams all end up at the bottom of a now very long list of Default Streams in the My Activity Streams Menu, which makes them difficult to access. Is it possible to remove the Default Streams from the My Activity Streams Menu? Alternatively, is there another way to manage custom streams (i.e. not through the My Activity Streams Menu)? If so, maybe I could create a direct link to that and remove the My Activity S…

Haven't paid much attention to statistics that the ACP provides but I am curious about how the background tasks of auto Prune play a role in the percentages. And wonder if there is any option to delineate negative values based on auto prune or end user action?

So I have managed to get my twitter promote thing working. So when you create a new topic on my site you can click one button and POOF it appears on Twitter. Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to get that to work with Facebook. I tried all day yesterday and could not get it to work. Remember I am a Hot Air Balloon Pilot, NOT a developer so instructions must be in English and explained like I don't know what I am doing since that is the case. Capt Jeff HotAirBalloonist.com Thank you!

Hello everyone, After looking through support tickets we have several users report to us on occasion that they have an error message that says "Sorry, you aren't permitted to download this file.". We do not have any restrictions enabled on the site for downloads. The error goes away eventually after logging in and out (sometimes waiting 20-30 minutes). Nothing alerting in Error Logs or System Logs. Any idea on what could be causing this? Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/E82NngC.png Kind regards, Ray
