So, I've uploaded an ipb installation to a Digital Ocean web server I set up, and It's all ready to go. My domain name hasn't redirected yet, so I'm using the IP address for now. Right as I was about to start it, I realized if I do the install on the IP Address, it might cause problems later on. Should I wait until the domain redirects so IPS doesn't save the IP Address as the installation?

Is there any way for the Owner of a club to delete a topic/calendar section? I only see the option to edit them, but no delete button. I need my members to be able to do this on their own.

This is in reference to the registration commerce fields, not the product fields. So I am at a crossroads, I have looked in the marketplace for a plugin that would require Commerce fields to be filled out before a purchase could happen. However, there currently is not and I don't have the funds to hire a developer to build a plugin that would accomplish this. The problem I have is there are about 100 users that have registered before I added these other commerce fields so they are partially filled out except for the 2 additional fields I have added. Going through the checkout process it does not require these 2 new fields to be filled out unless they change their add…

Hello, i'm new to IPS suite, and i'm trying to sort things out. I intend to have the traditional community forums where members can exchange discussions, images..... The logical step would be to use the "forums" app, but what about building it instead with "Pages" + database apps ? I can create categories, subcategories, and customize my content with custom fields. Does this make any sense? What would be the inconveniences of doing so over using the forums ?

Hello All, I'm trying to figure out how to use blocks and I haven't really located any docs on the subject. I started by throwing a div and some text in a custom html block, but it just displays the html source. Is there a special tag that I need to include? Thanks, Gerry

Have a databse set up on pages. While we have set up a number of vendors with all of the details, there are also about 400 records that are currently in an excel file that need to be added. Any way to get that into the database without going through adding them manually? Thanks! (would be just text fields, no images)

Hi, I got a request to upgrade my clients' punBB forum to IP.Board 4.1 in the near future and I'm doing my homework now. One of requirements was to make 301 redirects from old links to new ones in order not to loose search engine traffic. I downloaded Converter app from marketplace and in its tools folder there is Links - punBB folder with few php files. Can anyone tell me how do they work? I remember back in the day when I moves my forum from phpBB to IPB I had made URL redirects in a .htaccess file and that have worked. But how is it done nowdays? Thank you.

I have two IPB sites, one with several thousand users, the other newly started with just a couple hundred. I disabled all applications and plugins on both websites, they are hosted on the same server, have same performance settings (MySQL caching, Redis caching, template file caching enabled, guest page caching set to 5m). Anyway, the page with a lot of users has waiting time to first byte (execution time) around 500-800ms measured in Chrome debug tools (F12->Network), with spikes going up to 1,5s sometimes. The website with little users and little content has same timings around 100-300ms and feels A LOT faster. A significant difference that I cannot ex…

hi, I wonder is there a way to directly edit templates from ACP like in 3.4.x and below versions. Like in look and feel when you can edit individual html templates of the design. Because in v4 I just saw where to add different color codes and that's it. no html editing. it is done only by downloading files via ftp and reuploding them?
