Hello im new to this software, i see there is a Cpanel/WHM server setup in the admin panel, im looking to sell pages that clients can sign up for and have their own page to advertise their products on, so when they sign up they would get a cpanel account on my domain using a [subdomain], is is possible to set up packages this way?

I figured I'd resort to here as the plugin-creator hasn't responded nor read my inboxed messages in 6 days now but has posted all over the IPS Forums. I bought a donation plug-in that came with a meter that is supposed to move when a donation has came in, our donation goal was set to $200 and has had over 75$+ in donations but the meter doesn't move and it still says 0$ of 200$. The good news is the donation system works and updates the recent donors, all-time, and monthly, but the meter itself does not move upon donation. Does anyone have any idea why this may be? Our site is down below if you want to investigate. www.obby-realm.org

I'm building out a community that needs some custom pages - the pages will be accessing the DB but also have custom designs. What is the best way to do this? I cannot get it to work using the following methods: Custom Page Only - This accepts all HTML and JS code but any PHP added just gets ignored/ not displayed. Custom Page with Blocks - blocks accept PHP but don't allow any HTML at all. Workable but would need a custom block for each new bit of php. Ideally someone will be able to point out how simple it is to allow PHP on custom pages and how stupid I am for missing it. Thanks in advance.

I'm hoping I have the right section; I had tried to reach out to the plugin developer in which he hasn't responded to me in days, spent some decent cash on his plugin, but when I install the tar file, and then refresh the site to begin messing with the widget,etc. The page glitches out upon installation. https://gyazo.com/f8eef84ce23fd621ef5bb8474013a01d I had to remove the plugin as it created the page issue. Does anyone know a potential fix to this issue or am I stuck waiting on the plugin creator to reply? What happens if the plugin creator does NOT reply and just goes 100% inactive. Is it like a your money is gone and you're out of luck sort of deal?

I have done a migration from XF over to IPS and the have kept the XF ability for users to have Albums but I am questioning the value of allowing albums or just have a gallery of images without albums as there seems to be albums that have images across many different categories which makes it hard for users to see all images pertinent to a type of category. What do you think...is it better for categories to contain all images specific to that category and not have albums or have many different category images in a single user album? Thanks for your comments Incidentally, my site is on aviation and for example I have say a category for small ultralight aircra…

Hi guys, I have installed SSL certificate on my server, checked it with a checker website - everything works OK. Then I used this guide to enable it on my community https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/advanced-options/configuration-options/using-ssl-https-r273/ added an "s" to "http" in "site url" in conf_global.php - uploaded it via ftp to server... And I get 403 error every time I try do do anything more, I can't access the site, admin panel, anything. I cleared my browser's cache, it did not help. I had to re-edit the conf_global.php back to http. Any ideas? Thanks

Have a member who is designated "administrator" as their primary group. I want to make their primary group "member", but there is no other category available in the primary group drop down menu except "administrator". This member also has several other designations in the secondary group. None of those show up in the primary group drop down. What am I doing wrong? TIA

After upgrading to 4.3.6 we have issues with timezones. Some users have 1 hour offset, another 6 hours from their real time. In our custom module we do not allow to enter data with date in the future. Now the user has actually 20.11 but our website "thinks" there still were 19.11 and shows an error. The date is 6 hours after the member's real date. Other users have the same problem, the time difference for them varies from 1 to 7 hours. I am not sure how can I handle the issue? How timezone of user is detected in 4.3.6 and how the member can change it when automatic detection is false?

I recently migrated from VBulletin over to IP and am struggling with embedding audios and videos. I use a service called EZS3 to create players and then I used to place the code in a post and it worked. Unfortunately it's not working now. The ones I migrated work but new ones won't. I wonder does anyone have a good solution for video and audio players where the files are hosted on Amazon S3 servers? Many thanks Melissa

I have a huge privacy issue. In our gallery everybody can see WHERE the picture was taken on the map. I have to remove it right now as this breaks any privacy of the user. Is it something I can do without paid plugin? I assume that location is saved in Exif. Or can I modify a template to delete it? What template is that? Thank you and this is really urgent right now.
