Hello, I have to make the registration process to the community subordinate to the insertion of an alphanumeric code. The idea is that an aspiring new user first enter one of these codes: the system should check if the code is valid (and unused) comparing it with a stored list and finally proceed with registration (only if the verification were successful). Any ideas on how to do that with IPS? Or if a suitable plugin already exist? Thank you all, Ric.

Hi, We've built a website using IPB4 but whenever we try to add a link to one of our web pages to a LinkedIn post it doesn't generate a preview of the page - we just get a message saying "Cannot display preview. You can post as is or try another link." Does anyone know what might be causing this? The page I want to promote doesn't have any restricted permissions. I'm wondering if it might be a PHP or coding issue. Samantha

Hi, Our users are complaining that they can't find where the expiration date of their current package bought using Commerce (Nexus) is located, and some suggested adding this information in a more prominent location at the front-end. For example, at their mini profile near all their posts. Is there an easy way to do that? Thanks.

I seem to have issue with Commerce. This has started happening when I have upgraded to the 4.2's I have attached a screenshot that a member posted. I have seen quite a few of these and had many complaints about members not being able to pay due to an error with their address. But when i test this address it works for me. It works for some and not others. We have lost loads of business because of it and I had to set up temporary forms and manually add them. I have 5 set ups of Commerce, not all of them do it, but when I look at the set ups of them all they are identical. So, any ideas what could cause this issue? it seems to me that paypal are rejecti…

Can anyone help me with a SQL command that I can insert in the SQL toolbox in admin, so that status updates gets enabled for all users? I found this command (update core_members set members_disable_pm = 0;) that will ensure member pm are not disabled. So I think something similar could be run to enable status updates for all members, I hope someone can tell be the correct command for this.

I was wondering if there's a way to set the search box in the top right to always default to searching "All Content"? I've found recently that our users are using the search box while in an existing thread; They don't notice that the search is filtered to "This Topic" by default, so they get no results for their search. I would far prefer the search to always be filtered to "All Content", allowing them to manually choose "This Topic" if they need to narrow down the search. I had a look through documentation and our own admin section but couldn't see anything to this effect. Any thoughts? Cheers, Vero

In my forum, searching in all areas for a 3 character word ("mew") returns 0 results despite the 3 character word being a fairly common word. I did some MariaDB query logging and found this criteria being used in the search query: MATCH(index_content,index_title) AGAINST (? IN BOOLEAN MODE) As far as I can tell, the search term is being ignored because it's too short, but it looks like the default minimum search term length is 3 characters. Does anyone know how to verify whether the configured minimum search term length is what I think it is? Side note: If IPS staff is reading this, I recommend adding a way for the user to know that their search term(s) is/…

I've been playing a bit with my forum's colour patterns. So, I'm trying to achieve a combination of light grey, white with touches of blue here and there (mainly buttons). That was easy to achieve by simply changing the colours of my theme (which is just a copy of the native IPS 4.2.6 one). However, I'm stuck when it comes to some menus. 1 - How can I change the top right (+ Create, notification and mail icons, member's name menu) from white to dark grey or black like it is here on IPS? (I mean just the colour, not the absence of avatar) And... 2 - The top row of the main navigation menu like this: How can I achieve all caps? I tried sim…

Hey guys, I'm looking to see if some of you might help and let me know if my site is displaying for you or giving an error. I moved from subdomain to main domain and having issues on my side when visiting the site. I'm getting an Error page. The support team tells me it's showing for them, but trying to narrow down if it's just me as all my devices are showing same error. The site is: http://dinkboards.com It should be the main forum on the index page. Thanks!

Hi We plan to use Commerce with Classifieds to set up a marketplace So if i understand well how Commerce works : - users can pay with their paypal account - If they earn commissions, they get credits (in the case of the Classifieds app, sellers get credits for the items they sell on the marketplace) - Users can ask for their credits to be paid - Then we pay them their credits for the sales they have made All this with Paypal So The marketplace (us) holds the money before to pay them so it could be a danger if the buyer is not happy with his purchase, what happens ? The buyer didnt pay directly the seller, he paid the marketplac…
