I'm often hiking up to two weeks without any internet connection. I need my Secondary admin to be able to upgrade my forum in case of critical upgrade. Is that possible without giving him my password to IPS?

I like how THIS forum (InvisionPower) is laid out in a Traditional List - but also the categories can collapse and expand, and the topics within each category are listed each on their own separate line. My forum is setup in Traditional List view with categories, but my topics are not on individual lines, they are listed all together separated with commas.... and categories are not collapsible. How can I set mine up like this one?

Specifically, I want to edit the "I agree to the Terms of Use" line at the bottom of the form: I've looked through the ACP and Theme editor, and can't find where this can be edited. Is it even possible?

I am using ipsGrid to present a 3 x wide grid layout and want to shade each grid but have a clear (not white) border so that each grid item is separated by the theme background colour/image. I seem to have vertical splits looking fine but it's not splitting on the horizontal. So, it looks like 3 really long singular columns atm. I am using the following code: <div class='ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone'> {{foreach $rows as $row}} <div class='ipsGrid_span4' style='border:2px #f0f0f5; background: #f0f0f5;'> [some stuff] </div> </div> I thought that padding was what I needed to use but it doesn't give me the desired result, inste…

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible, and if so how to set a Forums category's default visibility (e.g., collapsed or expanded). So for example if I wanted my Forums splash page to have forums visible for a General Discussion category, but to have other, more specialized categories collapsed (ghosted out) by default in order to conserve space on the splash page...would that be possible?

I recently moved my site from vb3 to IPB4 and all seems to be working well. VBSEO urls for topics are redirecting properly. Does anyone know how I could redirect member profile page urls to the new IPB url or rewrite it in FURL settings? my urls are like this: OLD: http://www.sitename.com/membername NEW: http://www.sitename.com/profile/####-membername/ I either need to redirect or make the IPB urls same as old via htaccess or FURL settings. In FURL settings, I don't see where I can use Display name and since there is no ID in the old url, I'm not sure if I can achieve this.

In IPS4 is there a way to assign a moderator/curator for specific files/downloads sections? I have members that specialize in areas and take care, or curate, separate areas on my site. In IPS 3 I was able to assign a user to a download/file category and they were able to moderate, approve, upload, edit the sections they had access for. I can't seem to find this option in IPS4. Is there a way to assign a assign a user moderate/curate a download/file category? Also, can moderators not EDIT or upload new versions of files/downloads?

Hello, On IPS4, how would I go about allowing members to edit their own gallery images, but not giving them blanket permission to edit any of their own content on the whole site? We had those permissions in IPB 3.4, and we put them to good use. I see the "Can Edit Own Content?" option, but I'd prefer not to allow that... We used to allow members to edit their own posts until more than one decided to use that to remove the content of all of their posts, destroying the flow of conversation in hundreds of topics. -Cris

Hi, Got a question regarding the Paid Premium Member Subscription. I have not been able to figure out how to set it up. I followed the steps in the guide and some previous threads in the forums but I do not seem to have the option of "Normal Product" only the other two "advertisment" and "Hosting Plan". It's a new site I have never used this product before but really need this option and not sure if I am missing something or have they taken this option out and there is another way to do it or add another product type ?? Taken from the Guide You can add a new product by visiting Commerce>Store>Products within the admin CP and selecting the + next to …

I have my downloads set on timers for specific membergroups. Downloads for some groups are set to wait 60 seconds. Once a user clicks download, and then the popup comes to show what file versions, user then clicks the version to download. The popup disappears and there is no indication that the timer is going unless the user clicks the download button again. Is this how downloads should be working? I think there should be some kind of indication that the timer is counting down till download starts.

Hi there, I'm building a website for an association that's selling artwork. One of the things they've asked for in terms of back-end site functionality is the ability to produce an artist statement of sales. There will be multiple artists each with multiple artworks and they want to be able to produce a report that shows what was sold for each artist because, when the exhibition period is over, they need to pay them a commission. I was thinking of having a product group for each artist and having the artwork within those groups. The question I have is how would I go about producing a report for the products sold within that group? Or perhaps I c…

I love how many customizations can be performed now without having to go into the css. However, is there a diagram or guide somewhere that tells you what the various components are named, the ones referred to in the custom color and custom text change sections of the administrative CP? It's really laborious having to do it by trial and error. Hm. If I change this subtitle bar text to black maybe I can figure out what text this is and which title bar they're referring to. You see my problem? And I cannot be the only one having it. Thanks for any clues on this.

I'm a newbie setting up my forums for the first time. Not having a problem setting up and configuring one parent with 8 subforum/child sections under it in Admin CP. However, only 5 of the 8 are showing up when I go to my forum index page, as in the one members would see. I am wondering if this may have to do with the size of my icon images. I made them large and perhaps there is a limit on forum index page length or something? But this wouldn't explain why it's showing subforums 1, 2, 4 and 6 and skipping ones in between. Is there a size limit on subforum icons? (Not seeing any guides available for this latest release.) I've checked and double check…

In the old Subscriptions module, you could have the member revert to their prior member group OR select a member group for them to move to after the subscription expires. In 3.4.x Nexus, there is no option for them to move to a specific member group (that I can find); only revert to their prior group, which potentially opens up a hole where the member could gain an "eternal subscription" by buying one package, then upgrading to another package, and when the second package expires, they revert to the initial package. I haven't tested this fully, but I am wondering if Commerce allows you to choose which member group a member is moved to when a subscription package…

I'm still trying to figure out my way around IPS4. Previous to our upgrade, we did not allow guests to view profiles since people fill out some personal info in them (such as Skype address and all that). Since the upgrade, guests are able to view profiles and I can't find the setting in the AdminCP to disallow that. Does anybody know where it is? Thanks! -Cris
