We don't just sell our goods through our site. People may attend our courses and buy directly from the shelves, or when we've got a stand at a conference, people pick up a book and pay with a Paypal Here card reader. The result is that our stock numbers as indicated within Commerce aren't necessarily accurate. What I'd like to do is run a query to see what Commerce thinks we have, then I will know what to manually update once I've checked what we have on the shelves. This seems a bit challenging. I have two languages on my site so I have to join at least two tables: one (nexus_packages) to export the ID, stock number etc, and another (core_sys_lang_words) to get…

Hey there, Recently, I just released my new community and I’ve been experimenting in all sorts to figure out how to advertise the site and get people to here about it. Turns out, so far one of my most effective methods to get some people on a site which is completely empty is Discord! If you aren’t familiar with Discord, it’s a relatively newer messaging platform aimed to topple Skype (and has successfully done so marketshare wise). Within there, there are many communities/servers for users to join, so whatever may be your niche or interest might be out there! I wouldn’t say it is as niche based as Reddit, however, it does get pretty close. I’ve found that …

Does anyone know of a way to change the blog cover size? I'm mostly concerned with the blog description/container cover, not the individual blog posts (although I'd love to change those as well). I basically just want to make them taller, to show more of the image (instead of so wide and short). Any help and/or ideas are appreciated.

While moving some forums around, one has disappeared. It is not showing up the list of forums but when I do a search, the forum appears. I am unable to move it and I get the following message... A configuration or server error has occurred 2S101/Z There is no content that can be moved or deleted. I know that I haven't deleted anything but I have no way of restoring it. Is this a cache problem that will sort itself out or is the forum lost for good?

I have included videos in the description of some of the files over in the Downloads section of the site. These usually just show in the text with a player, but this one version does not. Any idea what i should be looking at? This is the one not working. There is only a player with white screen, but with sound https://allvirtualracing.com/files/file/17-sim-racing-guys/ This is one of many that work just fine: https://allvirtualracing.com/files/file/16-dale-trickle/

We're converting from VB and doing a test first to make sure the end result looks good. We started this process over a month ago and the conversion is still processing. Right now the "Processing RebuildContent" is on day 4 or so of close to ~4 million posts. This conversion test is being done locally on XAMPP, with 64GB RAM and an i9-7960X, and neither are being taxed (CPU is at 10%, Memory at 16% usage). I can't imagine our server(s) would be much faster. My question is, is there any way to speed this process up? It seems like hardware isn't really the problem. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thank you

Anyone have any experience with Lazy Loading or Storing Template Caches to disk with performance? Thanks. Performance Cache sidebar, header and footer blocks For weeks days hours minutes For many blocks, getting the data every time the block needs to be shown can be bad for performance. This setting allows you to only reload the block after a set period of time. This means there will be a delay before the content of blocks is changed - for example, if you set this to 5 minutes, and you have a block showing the most recent topics, it may take up to 5 minutes for a new topic to show. Lazy load media …

Hi, This is frustrating. I can't overwrite a new version of an already existing emoji. Can't replace let's say smile.png with smile.png. The old version just doesn't want to be replaced. Of course, I could delete it or rename it, but this operation deletes emojis from posts... The most frustrating part of it is the HD version (@2x.png). I've uploaded the wrong version and now I'm stuck with it. No delete button. Is there a way to reupload/replace files from the panel? Thank you 🙂

Hi everyone, I've recently patched our install to v4.4.4, and now have a series of legacy notifications in ACP that generate template errors: There's one for each notification (about 9 in total), all run together in a single paragraph.

I've created some content that I think is pretty solid, but I'm not sure what steps I can take to make it look more aesthetic. The main thing I'm after is that each section has a unique background color. Click this to see my homepage and the IPS homepage, or just look at the screenshots below. I'm using IC P
