Do I have a bug or are Clubs actually set-up in such a way that when you add a block to one Club it then displays in every Club? If this is the set-up, is there any way around it other than a third party solution (assuming even that is possible) or is it stuck this way for the foreseeable future?

I am looking for a way to create an overview of club events. I'd love it if the club calendars could show in the site calendar, but this i understand is something being worked on. Is there an other way to create a page/scheme where users can see what club events are coming up across the site?

If I allow my members to create clubs... Is it possible for a member to create a club that has a subscription fee or cost to join and get paid? Then of course I get a small cut. Can this happen? Are clubs integrated with commerce in this way? Thank you

I asked this question a couple of months ago in Pre-Sales Questions but it fell into oblivion without a response. Anyway - I remember setting up a demo account just to get my hands on Commerce to see how it operates in the suite. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was a bit frustrated working with invoicing and it didn't seem to me as if one could manage invoices by giving them one's own invoice number. If I remember correctly, when you generate an invoice for a purchased service there is a number which the customer can see, and which can be edited, but I seem to remember that this was pretty useless if I, as site owner/admin, wanted to apply to thi…

I've tried to use tags in a CSS file which is one of my page objects. Unfortunately, nothing is parsing. When I view my page source, it still looks as it did when I typed it into the CSS file: background: url({resource="cd-icon-navigation.svg" app="core" location="front"}) no-repeat 0 0; background: url({media="logos/eab-footer-logo-eo.svg"}) no-repeat 0 0; Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to use tags in these templates?

Can all of the features still be visible in their normal locations? Or do they only show up within the Club? We would like to have a place where calendar for everyone can be seen. Sam would be great for the Gallery. Steve K.

I'm currently getting my 4.2 upgrade tweaked in a development environment, and although the Commerce module is disabled, I have gotten emails from members (we took a snapshot of our 3.4.9 install and upgraded in development) with renewal notices from the development environment! Is there another setting I can switch this off while we work on the dev environment?

Some of my users are asking for an option to include tables or spreadsheets in their posts. The site is about racing, so they need a way to organize and present racing results through the site. There are multiple options for this, like embedding google spreadsheets or exporting a MS excel sheet, but this does not seem to work when the post is published. Do you have any suggestions on how to solve this?

We've just upgraded to IPS 4.2 and we're trying the clubs functionality, but some questions are emerging : 1) We've set that the clubs creation shall be validated by a moderator/administrator, but we can't manage to find where is the validation interface ? 2) We had already a club in our community, that club was allowed to manage its own forums, members (as groups) & sections, we've not found any way to move or copy the posts from a standard community forum to a club forum : is it possible ? 3) We cannot find any interface to manage clubs owners rights (other than to create clubs), could it be managed ? 4) Is there some detailed documentation about…

OK, I apologize if this has been asked before but searches using "downloads" etc get no good returns. I am uploading files to my download area, but I see no option to add a "cover shot" for the file. Adding images just adds them to the description area. My file list just shows black boxes with a camera. I am sure its obvious but I am missing it so far.

I'm unsure if this is possible, mostly because it seems muddled, but here goes: I have a custom domain on my CitC site. I would like to use this domain for an email address, using fastmail as the service. This address would be used for the site internally (via the ACP, etc) and externally (general contact info, etc). The domain is hosted (managed) on a second service, hover. To set up the email address I need to create MX records, however I have been told they need to be done on the IPS end of things due to the DNS being hosted here. Hopefully that makes sense in some way. My questions are: Can this be done? Or would I ha…

I am trying to get this to work, but its not matching: {{$catName = str_replace('Misc Instruments', '', $row->container()->_title);}} I suspect its because $row->container()->_title is coming back encoded? Can I convert that to text somehow? Appending the "|raw" element sends back weird characters
