My site has a Nexus Subscriptions Package to enable members to post items for sale. At present the only option offered is to pay by card, yet my site is NOT httpS. As I have a Paypal Website Payments Pro for another business, I would like to give customers the option to pay ONLY via Paypal. In this way I can give greater confidence to prospective Subscriptions Package purchasers AND satisfy recent requirements by PCI. Can anyone please advise me as to what settings I need to adjust in the Admin Panel to enable the above. Thanks in anticipation. Mike EDITED I think I've solved it by myself now

Hi, After succesfully recovering my old ipboard database, I get broken links to all uploaded files which is obvious because I don't have a backup of my old files. The profile photo's are broken aswell and it shows like this (see attachment). Is there any way to mass replace the broken profile photo's with say, a standard avatar or something?

Hello, While it is very easy to add a CKEditor plugin or a custom button in the ACP, I couldn't find how to remove a specific plugin or button (without removing everything by restoring the default configuration). Is there a way to do that? Thanks,

I am creating a java based multiplayer game and would like to allow my users to log into the java game using their IPS username and password. I have the password hash and seed hash from the IPS database but since IPS 4.1.x no longer uses MD5 hashing I was wondering if anyone has some java code to combine the password string with the hash seed to create the password hash that is stored in the database?

Hello I was trying to implement the REST API forums/topics POST on my site, I just have a problem...

Is it possible to set which types of attachments a group can upload? For instance, I want Admins and Mods to be able to upload ANY type of attachments, but I want Members to only be able to attach and upload images (png, jpg, gif, bmp). The way it is now, it's a global setting. If I set attachment types to images only, it applies to EVERY group. Now Admins and Mods can't upload any file other than images. I would think this is an option and I am just not seeing it. I've searched long and hard but can't find a setting for this.

I have a custom field that is suppose to have negative and positive numbers. I have setup the custom field with the type as number. However, the record input form only has the ability to enter positive numbers. If I manually enter a negative number I get a message saying to check the field for an error. Any ideas on how to best record negative numbers? I want to do some calculations on these numbers using php in a template. I also want to sort by these numerical values. The range of the numbers will be -100 to 1000 or more. Should it be possible to enter negative numbers into a number custom field? Is this a bug in the IPS software? If the number field is not th…

Hi I'm trying to create an additional way for people to login using the "External Data" base under "Login Handlers" I filled out everything correct and matched it to the data base but now I am getting this error message. IPS\Db\Exception: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 (1064) What I don't understand is if the problem is in IPB4 or something in the Actually MYSQL data base that i'm trying to reference. Any insight? I feel like I'm really close and this shouldn't be that hard.

Hi folks, I run a forum for militaria collectors, and I use a military rank structure for members. Validating members are recruits, then when they join they rise through the ranks according to posts. I've set each rank as it's own group. That way worked better for me. Private/Lance Corporal/Corporal etc. They stop at a certain rank, to progress beyond that they have to pay a subscription, and above that it's admins only. What my issue is that I wanted to use secondary groups, so in effect I could lump all the ranks into 4 groups of ranks as it were. So, Private/Lance Corporal/Corporal etc. would be part of OTHER RANKS secondary group. 2n…
