I have looked and cannot figure out how to allow guests to view the items (actual physical products) I have for sale in the commerce package. It appears that if the guests can view it, they can also add it to their cart? Is there a way to allow them to ONLY view the items and not process it for purchase? I only want the items available to registered users for purchasing, but allow guests to see them also.

How do I clear the slate on an renewing package we used to use for annual dues (which must be paid during a certain time of year). Our club's first attempt at using Commerce (nexus at the time) for dues went reasonably well but we made a miscalculation: we set the package up to renew annually. That turned out to be a mistake because the next year some members just purchased another Dues package earlier than their renewal invoice was generated. Then the automated reminder panics them that either they are being charged twice or that somehow their most recent purchase didn't take. I originally allowed only one package per user to prevent this but that drew immedia…

I am not sure how to send the API key and data to the post API request. I have tried making a forum and sending it to the API method that calls for a post request. <form action="/api/forums/topics" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="key" value="XXXXXXXXXXX"> <input type="text" name="forum"><br /> <input type="text" name="author"><br /> <input type="text" name="title"><br /> <input type="text" name="post"><br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form>

We have a marketplace similar to the IPS marketplace where members upload files and sell them to other members. We take a percentage of each transaction. How do members get detailed information about the numbers of files they have sold and the revenue from each sale and amount of credit they have based on total sales? Basically a detailed sales report. I do not see an easy way to display all this one page. There is a menu item for account credit but this just lists the overall credit from sales, no other details are provided.

Version 3 had a whole section under /index.php?app=core&module=help that had a great help guide for members to reference. This is an essential need for members. I hope it wasn't removed. Does this still exist under version 4, and where? If not, is it going to return?

(Just a disclaimer - I'm not much good with technology, so if things are obvious, I apologise in advance) I have an idea of how I want my forums to look, but I can't figure out a way to do it. I'd really like to be able to have the "Critiques" forum on its own page, without showing up in the main stream on the front page, and I'd like to know how to do that for other things in future. Is there a way I can do that? I figured out how to get that tab up there, but when I click it, it does nothing. I need it to lead to a new page that contains ONLY the "Critiques" section, none of the others. Thanks!

I am looking for more information about which files are most popular on our site. Therefore, I am hoping to see reports showing which files have been downloaded for a given date range. This information is not available in the Admin CP under Statistics > Downloads. Anyone know where I can find this?

The right-hand column looks cluttery and confusing to me. It needs more visual distinction to work, maybe a colored background. Can I turn it off? Is it configurable? What are the configuration options?

Hi there, read alot about migration but iam still unsure how to handle this: I bought a new 4.1.15 license. Got a punBB 1.3.4 database. I was thinking that i could just import users, posts and topics to my IPS 4.1.15 without using the expensive migration service by using the free migration tool. Seems that it doesent support punBB 1.3.4... IPB 3.4.7 did - what i do not understand... what am i supposed to do? My first thought was that i could download my old licenced Version of IPB 3.4.7 to import users, posts and topics and update the software later but they even dont offer the download anymore... instead i get forced to buy the renewal. I am pretty dissapointed…
