So as the admin i have my personal Facebook / Twitter accounts associated to my admin profile. I went to the ACP and thought I could connect my alternate forum related accounts to the social media promotion but it seems to be tethered to my personal accounts (used for also for login) Am i missing something?

Is there an easy way to get a sales report for an individual commerce product? As far as I can see the only options are to get a list of sales against a product, which then requires you to click on every single sale item to get any useful information, or to go through statistics > sales. This seems to be even more painful because the the 'filter' options require you to deselect each product in turn and wait for the graph to refresh, so if you have anything other than a small list the process renders the system unusable. There must be some way of getting a basic list of sales by product?

Hello, We're hoping to eventually give our clients a single-sign-on solution for our product, community, and support applications. I'm hoping to use Auth0 (https://auth0.com/) as the master SSO application. I'm aware that I have two options to implement the SSO: 1) Hire Invision to do it, or 2) Create a plugin myself. Here's my question: If we decide to use IPS Community as-is right now and postpone the implementation SSO, will it be painful later to migrate our users to the new authentication method? I want to make sure that we don't put ourselves in a position where we'd need to have our members to re-sign up. Thanks for your feedback, Bret

I wasn't sure where exactly to post this because I'm already a client with multiple licenses. I am however, thinking of using IPS to manage some clients on a server after seeing some of the commerce functions built in on one of my sites. I don;t see many topics on this and the IPS Guide is empty https://invisionpower.com/4guides/suite-applications/commerce/selling-managing-hosting/ Where can I find some documentation on what the features are? I see domain purchasing, monitoring, cpanel integration, etc. Is anyone using IPS to manage client hosting and websites? Any info and examples of sites that are using it would be appreciated, You can PM if you don't want to pos…

Hello! I have a javascript file that I would like to load in all pages belonging to a template. Instead of going through each of the 40 pages and selecting the javascript in Page Includes, is there a way that I can have the template load the javascript? If so, can this be done with CSS as well? Thanks! Bret

I reluctantly created a politics sub-forum on my site, and the rules state that people can be banned from this section of the forum if they repeatedly violate the rules. Problem is, I don't know how to do that, or if it's even possible to block a member from a single section of the forum. I can think of a workaround, but a lot of work.

Couldn't find the setting, but it would be nice if we could limit member titles/custom titles. If there is a way, I'd be most grateful if someone could let me know. As I allow titles to be edited after 500 posts, but some I've come across are a little long and I don't know if they're old ones from the v3.x.x days. Thanks

How does the Admin reset the profile completion bit so when a user logs in, IPS4 checks with all the Profile Completion steps to see if any of them need updating? That is, the Admin has added new Profile Completion steps (or modified existing ones that might cause them to be incomplete), and some users will have their Profile Status changed to less than 100% again. Is this a theme setting to clear the bit that says to check the Profile Status on next activity by the user?

Hello guys, I've started using a great plugin for mass private messages, as it's much better for our members, and less bothersome than bulk email. However, the problem is, when you send out a mass private message, that means you're sending thousands, due to the number of members we have. The problem with that is that it takes up space (typically 5mb per 500 messages). This racks up quickly, and as we only have 5GB of usable space for storage, I was wondering if there were functions for the following to do across the entire site?: Is there a way to wipe private messages that are a certain "age"? Is there a way to set an expiration date for messages to be re…

I am looking for a way, I possibly overlooked it, to ID members that have not posted, have not logged in, or have not been active on the forum in X amount of time. I am not finding this in Admin CP. Am I over looking or is this just something that has to be done on the mysql side?

I hope someone can tell me how to change the number of images listed in the main Gallery page under Recently Added? I noticed on my site that's it's too much (3 cols. of 5 images each) and wanted to change it, but for the life of me I can't remember how I configured it in the first place (if I did?). It's not a block so I can't manage it, but it also doesn't show up in the adminCP's Gallery Settings page.

Hey guys, I recently upgraded my Cloud package from the smallest $20/mo package to the slightly larger package that provides more online user capability and the Commerce App. However, the Commerce app isn't appearing. Anyone have any ideas? I'm not sure if there's something I have to do on my end, as I'm somewhat new to using the Cloud hosting. Normally, I would think I could just download the commerce app on the portal. I contacted support yesterday, but it looks like they're away or, at least, very delayed for the holiday weekend. Any help would be much appreciated!
