Because we cannot have topic categories in clubs (?) my club owners have started creating a ton of topic features and now they are not only complaining about not being able to have topic categories, now they are complaining that their club menu looks like crap. Is it possible to allow them to have a drop-down menu or something to clean these up?

I'm currently attempting to use the articles template in Pages but I am running into a slight problem. When I add an image (that's a record image, not an image I drop into the editor) of say 1200px X 600px it appears as a thumbnail instead of the full size image in the article body. I've search through the ACP and made changes to image dimensions, but the best I can achieve is an image slightly larger than the original thumbnail. I would prefer the image to be inserted to the size I uploaded. Apart from this single issue, the rest appears to working out as intended. Has anyone any idea how to overcome this? With thanks

Is there a way to disable IP from sending any and all e-mails to an account? I have a class of user that needs access to some store items but the store messages (e.g., invoices, renewal notices, etc.) are confusing to them. I've had a few calls from upset customers because they got a message saying "payment received for <product>" thinking I charged them even though it was all free and the invoice itself reflects that. I can't really change the wording of the e-mails themselves since this product is on sale for regular users, I just need IP Commerce to not send notifications like payment received or send them the renewal notice to customers I manually designate.

Is there a Custom Field option that I can use where the customer can select various items in the product and have it increase the quantity accordingly? Example: We are having an event where we will provide Breakfast for $5 each on Tue, Wed and Thu. I want one product with each of the days as a Custom Filed for that product and if they select Tue and Thu then the quantity increases to TWO and the amount goes to $10, if they select all three days then the quantity goes to three and the amount goes to $15

Hi all, Just wondering if a no-reply@domain.xxx is possible when sending out bulk emails, receiving notifications regarding private messages etc. We’ve had an issue in the past (different software package) where replying to the notification actually sends to everyone who receives the admin@domain.xxx emails. Not sure if changing the outgoing email address to no-reply would break the system. Any suggestions?

Evening everyone! I've just finished upgrading to 4.3.1 from 4.2.9. While I do like the changes brought about with this new release - quite a lot, in fact - I had to give up a ton in the way of plugins that aren't compatible with the new version. I want to go digging for downloads that will work with 4.3 with an eye toward replacing some of that functionality, but I don't see an option to limit the search by compatibility. If anyone can tell me how I can narrow the search without clicking through file by file, I'll be very grateful. Thanks! -Dev

I recently upgraded to 4.3.2. I now realise, after gruelling and mind-wracking troubleshooting on a somewhat related topic, that all of my custom Editor buttons have been completely WIPED. As I had them a day ago, I assume it was a recent upgrade, and the only upgrade I've performed was the 4.3.2. Not putting blame anywhere as I don't really have a clue what's going on, just grumbling and pissed off that I have to hunt down and reinstall buttons for footnotes, special characters, and reinstall the InfoBox buttons. ? Anyone else had issues?

My IPB site was still using suPHP, but was using Opcache. This will cause SIGNIFICANT system load on a busy site, as due to the nature of suPHP as a PHP handler, it does not work well with Opcache. This resulted in system load going to 20+. So, what I've done is switched my IPB site over to PHP-FPM to support Opaching as well. Now server load is sitting at about 0.24 as well. Is it ok to keep the site community.permaethos.com on the PHP-FPM handler? It is keeping server load VERY low.

I love that I can invite members to a club and choose to wave the membership fee. What I would really like is to also have the ability to wave the renewals. Some people I am adding to clubs have already purchased a lifetime access to the club. When I wave membership fee and invite them, they are being asked to set up a payment for renewals (I am assuming this is the case, that or they are just being asked to set up payment information to something they don't need to pay for). Is there a way to "add member" instead of "invite member" which would bypass the payment information request?
