Have a databse set up on pages. While we have set up a number of vendors with all of the details, there are also about 400 records that are currently in an excel file that need to be added. Any way to get that into the database without going through adding them manually? Thanks! (would be just text fields, no images)

Hi, I got a request to upgrade my clients' punBB forum to IP.Board 4.1 in the near future and I'm doing my homework now. One of requirements was to make 301 redirects from old links to new ones in order not to loose search engine traffic. I downloaded Converter app from marketplace and in its tools folder there is Links - punBB folder with few php files. Can anyone tell me how do they work? I remember back in the day when I moves my forum from phpBB to IPB I had made URL redirects in a .htaccess file and that have worked. But how is it done nowdays? Thank you.

I have two IPB sites, one with several thousand users, the other newly started with just a couple hundred. I disabled all applications and plugins on both websites, they are hosted on the same server, have same performance settings (MySQL caching, Redis caching, template file caching enabled, guest page caching set to 5m). Anyway, the page with a lot of users has waiting time to first byte (execution time) around 500-800ms measured in Chrome debug tools (F12->Network), with spikes going up to 1,5s sometimes. The website with little users and little content has same timings around 100-300ms and feels A LOT faster. A significant difference that I cannot ex…

hi, I wonder is there a way to directly edit templates from ACP like in 3.4.x and below versions. Like in look and feel when you can edit individual html templates of the design. Because in v4 I just saw where to add different color codes and that's it. no html editing. it is done only by downloading files via ftp and reuploding them?

I had one large group of emoticons and of course users could not find beyond the first 21. So I created a new group and moved "extra" ones to that group. Now somehow the extra group is first in list in ACP and to users. I can't find a way to change the order of categories. What am I missing?

Hello, is it possible to change permissions (such as the maximum allowed reputation to give every day) for multiple groups at once? I am running a forum with 20 groups and it's super annoying to change the default settings to something which makes more sense for my case for all the groups one by one.

Is it possible to disable the guest access to poll results? I have an ongoing poll, where I don't want the users to view results until they vote, but I see that guests can view the results regardless. This makes the settings that viewing result disables voting kinda pointless as everyone can start an incognito window and see the results before voting. Is there any way to remove access to poll data for guests?

I have a question. Our old community leader was charging our community for an App he said he got that was for IPB DDOS Protection. I've never seen the app, I assumed he just didn't give me permission to see it in the ACP, so I am wondering do you know if such an app or anything ever existed in the IPB marketplace before? I've searched and couldn't find anything so I'm wondering now if the person had lied to us just to make money...

I'm having issues installing the Tabletools CKEditor plugin. Has anyone worked out why it wouldn't be working on IPB? My members are looking for ways to add tables to pages and the default Table plugin has very limited functionality. Unfortunately I can't get a nice working solution right now.

Hi! When i paid 75$ for the downloads i was really expecting "the faeces" after seeing what IPB has accomplished with the Forum. But man was i wrong, i'm missing out a ton of stuff that i can't find elsewhere in the marketplace either. Ìt do seems like a good start for a file library, but did not have as much time put into it's development as for example the forum? # Category handling My first problem that i was able to solve was the category listing, i managed to install a plugin called "Files subcategories" so that i can use the "main category" as sort of a place holder kind of like the "Category" option for the forum works. I don't know why this isn't …

Hi! Is it possible to have my "Main" category just for creating sub-categories in? For example if i have a file library for game content i want something like Grand theft auto IV --- Cars --- Busses --- Trucks Grand theft auto V --- Cars --- Busses --- Trucks But i don't want to use the main category to be able to upload files to, only the sub-categories? Is it possible to arrange such a setup? :-)

I'm not seeing an option to proceed to checkout or a cart in MOBILE view after placing an item into a cart, but instead of proceeding directly to checkout, continuing shopping. Is there a setting somewhere or other way I can add this?
