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?

So where do we edit or create custom error pages? In this instance I would like something a little more friendly and informational than the stock permission denied page when a non member tries to view a forum or post... been searching my settings and templates but I am coming up empty so far.

I have been messing with the layout of the theme that i am using, and suddentlyi notice the "Unread Cotnent" feed (i usually just use the activity feed). Is there a way to "mark all read" in the unread content feed? I don't see it anywhere on that page (just a "load more" link)

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?

How does it work if I have created on my test IPS forum the same usergroups as there are in my vBulletin forum, for example Group A, Group B, Group C, Group E. Can I assign a relation from my vBulletin usergroups to the new IPS one during the conversion process? It makes things easier if I can set all permissions before the conversion. Is it possible to do the conversion in parts, means import first all members. Later the forums etc? This would give me more time to assign subscriptions to the members etc. Thanks.

Is there an easy way to find and remove old phrases? When I select "Out of Date" in the language options, I get this: Obviously this is of no help. Also, for some weird reasons, I see phrases here and there that I have translated in the past (since the translation is still there), but that have no English text anymore. I assume those are "out-of-date"-phrases, too? Translations really need some love! I'd love to filter by apps/plugins (not only selecting the sort order). I'd love to see updated phrases with one click. I'd love to see less placeholders ("%s") in phrases, since it is really hard to translate properly when it comes to languages other than…

As above guys. I need to purge or anonymise accounts older than five years. I can't find a way to do this in Invision Community v4.3.1. This is obviously a hot topic with the new EU laws. Can anyone show me how?

How are people managing all the "Shops" in their community? This seems very confusing for members. I have "Members Shop", "Commerce", and "Classifieds System". Commerce because I have to for memberships, advertising, etc etc Members Shop by @TheJackal84 for the point system. Still trying to figure out how the shop works on this one. Classifieds System by @InvisionHQ so that members can barter with each other. Does anybody else run these three together? If so, how are you keeping your members from being so confused?

Hi. I'm having problems uploading big files on my community. below 1 GB is fine but as soon as it's above 1 GB I get this error "There was a problem processing the uploaded file. Please contact us for assistance." The upload goes all the way to 100% and then it loads for a couple of minutes and then throws the error. I'm on a VPS server so I have access to all settings and set the php.ini as below file_uploads = On max_execution_time = 20000 max_input_time = -1 max_input_vars = 1000 memory_limit = -1 session.save_path = "" upload_max_filesize = 5G session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 zlib.output_compression = Off post_max_size = 10G Not sure…

I have WAMP installed and up and running no problem. I've copied the IPB files across, made the database and user via phpMyAdmin, but when I access my localhost (not 127.0.0.1) install I get the following error: Access denied for user 'XXXX'@'localhost' (using password: NO) No matter whether or not I use a password, or use "root" or a custom name, I get "Access denied." I even tried copying across a conf_global.php from my online site (changing values where necessary), but nothing seems to work. I've double-checked privileges, DB username and password. If I wipe the conf_global.php file completely I get: IPS\Db\Exception: Access denied for user ''@'l…
