I'm using Commerce with Stripe as my payment system. I want to set up a paid subscription which automatically bills the customer's credit card every year. I understand Commerce can send an e-mail warning, a certain number of days in advance, to let the customer know their credit card will be billed and give them a chance to cancel if they want. My questions are: 1. Is there a setting, for the number of days in advance of the automatic billing, the warning e-mail is sent? 2. My customers will mainly speak Turkish. How would I go about editing/translating the text of this warning e-mail?

Seems clubs can't have "Q&A" style topics? I've never used Q&A but i was planning on doing that for third party sponsored club as they would be authoritative to best answer the topics. But this seems missing in clubs?

Hello, We are currently looking to recreate the IPB Help guides for our website to display our documentation. I am aware that Databases are required to be used but is this style default (doesn't seem to be) or is it publicly available? can we get the custom HTML/CSS? or does this require a paid plugin? This is what we wish to recreate. Thanks Rob

Hello everyone, Before I go running to the support desk, hopefully you guys can help me here. I'm trying to make it so that I can have a group based prefix show up in front of members usernames, and have it used everywhere. Currently, I used the basic prefix-groupname-suffix setting under each indivudal group to set a prefix, but that only puts the prefix in front of their username in things like the chatbox and "Who's online" tab. Is there a DIY way to accomplish this so that it shows up everywhere, including in front of their names on latest threads, and so on? If not, is there a purchasable/free plugin that accomplishes this? Any help would be much app…

Hi all, as usual, sorry for all my grammatical errors and for the stupidity of my questions I'm trying to modify my template to make in sort to be able to display the icon of all groups. Actually I'm stop here: <li class='ipsResponsive_hidePhone'><img src='{file="$comment->author()->group['g_icon']" extension="core_Theme"}' alt='' class='cAuthorGroupIcon'></li> I'm able to take out of author() the secondary groups id and split them but, here, I'm just frozen and, I admit, I didn't fully understand the red construction. The question is: how can I say: take the g_icon of the group…

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?

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 ?
