Hi there. I'm upgrading from IPB 3.x to 4.x and am required to upgrade EasyApache3 to 4 on my server. I've done that. I also run Litespeed on my server and it appears that now I can't access my IPB installation. I installed php 7.0 and read that IPB 3.x doesn't support versino 7. Downgraded to 5.6 and I still can't access my IPB site. I can't find any guides to ideal settings etc to get this to work. My community is now down so would love to get this up and working again very very soon. Thanks for any guidance.

Hi, I've never used yet the commerce add-on, I'm considering to buy it. But before I need to know if it is possible to set it up as a marketplace where the community users can sell to other community users, considering some fees for the community owner from each user-to-user scceeded transaction ?

Hi, I was just looking at the featured, newest, and popular product carousels on the front page. I looked through the theme html files, and I see where the carousels are made. I was wondering... is it possible to make a carousel for a specific product category? That would be infinitely useful. <section class='ipsSpacer_top'> {{if count( \IPS\nexus\Package\Item::featured() )}} <div class='ipsBox'> <h2 class='ipsType_sectionTitle'>{lang="featured_products"}</h2> <div class='ipsPad'> <div class='ipsCarousel ipsClearfix' data-ipsCarousel data-ipsCarousel-showDots> <ul class='cNexusCarousel cNexusCategory_grid ipsClearfix'…

Hi, I recently upgraded from IPS 3.4.7 to 4.2.3. In 3.4.7 I had an extension called "PM on Group Change" that was pretty invaluable to me. Is there any way, either stock or third-party extension, to regain this functionality?

So I've configued a handful of keywords on my site and logged in under a test member account and run searches with them, but nothing seems to show up in the Keywords area of the adminCP's Statistics tab. Did I miss something? Is there something else I'm supposed to configure somewhere?

Is there a guide that shows what regular expressions are exactly and which ones you can use? I am hoping I can use this for a profile field which the member enters their YouTube channel URL and it checks to verify that a YouTube URL was entered. Another thing that would be nice is if I could just have them enter their channel name and then the rest of the URL is entered for them. So, they would enter "PermaEthos" and the field would have the full URL of "http://www.youtube.com/c/permaethos". I have other examples of what I want to do with URL's but if I can figure this out I think all of those will be answered as well. Thank you in advance for any guidance.

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?
