Hi there, I've had members complain that they get logged out too quickly if no activity, they say 30 mins. A few asking if it could be longer. Is there a way to change that? Maybe I'm being daft, but can't find it. Lenny

Hi everyone... Before I contact support, does anyone have a fix for this: Maintenance Tasks Not Running Your community is configured to run routine maintenance tasks using a cron, however, it does not appear to be running. This will cause significant damage to your community if not resolved. Please run the support tool, and submit a ticket for technical support if this does not resolve the issue. Fix this After fixing the issue you may want to hide this notification until tomorrow as it will not automatically dismiss until the backlog has cleared. Now, before you ask...

I have had a couple of people ask to leave my community recently for personal reasons and they can't find a way to do it. I know I can delete their accounts or ban them, but does someone just have a simple option to opt out from the community? Is there a setting I need to activate? Thanks!

I'm trying to upgrade to 4.4 and for some reason I'm getting a 500 Server Error. When I go back the only option I have is to Continue the upgrade which leads me to the same error. How do I start a new upgrade?

I used the group promotions to add users to a VIP group. i use this VIP group to allow them access to my software. i no longer wish to apply the promotion so i change the criteria to something impossible to achieve and it works, now users are no longer promoted to VIP. However, some users have not logged into the forum since i changed the criteria, therefor they are still in the VIP group. How can i remove group promotions from every member on the site, even users who are logged out"

The group formatting doesn't appear to be working for any of my communities after the 4.4 update. I assume it's related to an error in the userLinkFromData template file. I have fiddled around with it and have no success. It's probably worth noting that the userLink template is still working fine. Any suggestions on a fix? Cheers!

I'm trying to write a conditional for displaying an IPS database field for logged in members, only. Guests should see an error message asking them to log in or register. The code below is displaying the field to members only, but the error message doesn't display for guests. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can someone please take a look and point me in the right direction? {{if !\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id}} <div class="error">This is only available to members. Please <a href="/login/">sign in</a> or <a href="/register/">join our community</a> to participate.</div> {{else}} <div class="ipsType_ric…

Hello guys, I hope someone can help me, I'm not a adwords guru. I created some Google ads for my forum the ads performs well in terms of clicks I am getting, but I'd like to setup conversation tracking in adwords instead as that will enable me to adjust my billing more accurately to pay per converted member. The question is, how does one setup a successful member registration as a conversion on Google ads? (hoping some of you are experienced with running ad campaigns for your IPs sites.)

Hey Guys, Hope someone is able to help. I searched the community and was unable to find exactly what I'm seeking so I'm going a new thread will get us there. We'd like to query the database to return Excel spreadsheets based on certain values we'll assign in the query. Would like these queries to look in specific Topics as well as in polls. I have limited technical expertise but one of the staffers has a background in programming...just not specific to IPB. Is there a step by step tutorial available for this?
