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

I have several custom buttons in my CKEditor setup for things like pasting from Word, footnotes, inserting special chars. etc. With 4.2.2, which uses CKEditor 4.7.1, I find that some of my buttons no longer work and have to be deleted/updated. However, it isn't clear how one goes about this. Does one just install an updated version of a button over its old version? Do you click Restore Default Configuration and just rebuild your custom editor with updated versions of your buttons? There doesn't seem to be a way of actually deleting a button from your CKEditor configuration...or am I missing something?

I know this is probably a silly question, but what method does the suite use to display the date and time? Is it based off your local machine's date and time settings? Or something else?

I don't fully understand pages and databases, and the documentation just isn't doing it for me. Does anybody know of a good video tutorial that shows the power of pages and databases and ways I can use them? I feel like I am missing out on some big possibilities.

Using the bulk mail system in IP.Board, I can't see a way to opt-out of the traditional wrapper, and it's messing up my CSS. I don't know enough about XML, PHP, etc. to write a new template in IPB from scratch, I just want to be able to send an email that looks the way I want if I design it with an external editor. I can post the code for the email if necessary, but it shouldn't be.

I can't seem to find any documentation on commissions and exactly how the system works. Here is how I believe it would work ideally for me (at least I think this would be ideal): The seller enters their own payment gateway information. Upon sale the fund split is automatic, % commission goes to the seller and the other half goes to admins accounts The reason I am thinking this is due to transaction fees so that we are not paying these fees twice, once for the sale and then again for the commission split.
