I know there is a way to have the advertisement show on a custom place, at the adminCp but i think this method doesnt include which forum sections they appear in. Or does anyone know how/where to do this by editing of html/ css ? thank you..!

I've looked on this site for information about this but apart from the news post there isn't anything I can find via search: The language used here makes me think that this feature is simply always on until you apply the group setting. However, it is not working on my site: This account has numerous name changes and they all appear in the ACP. I've tried it with the default theme and it doesn't work on there either. Is there a setting that I am missing?

Hello! I would like to ask you if anyone has classifieds and has the users (members) move their own finished classifieds (topics) into a "trashbin" forum section. previously we have had it like this members had specific extra privileges in the only certain section that includes all classified ads. we have a rule that everyone has to clean up after his classifieds and is allowed only one topic with all his for sale items because otherwise they are too many. to save space the members have to send their own sold /inactive classified (topics) back to the trashbin forum section (the trashbin section gets deleted every co…

Hello, I am having a problem with the Articles database. I use this database to store my articles which are shown on the front page of the website with one of the templates that IPS 4 ships with (3 columns and featured image). At the moment all article records are visible to all members and guests of the site. I want to start adding premium content in the Articles database that will only be accessible to subscribing members. I can do this by creating a database category and setting custom permissions on that category so that only members in the subscriber group can see the articles. This works. HOWEVER If I do that the index of articles o…

Reading through the upgrade guide and noticed that we have to select User names or display names when upgrading to version 4 from an earlier version. This only affects the display name correct? And, no matter what, users have to use their email address that they registered with as the username to login. This is also correct? These seem like two separate changes so I just want to be clear.

I just want to make sure here before I report something. To save the changes from theme to theme version I want to confirm first we must change the version number then make our changes so they are saved when a client uses the upgrade theme feature instead of a fresh install. Thank You

I have created around 15 different groups of clients for my customers. As an example, let's say I created a group called users1. When users1 purchases a product they are moved into a new group. Now let's say I have another group called users2 and my client purchases that product which will also assign that person to that group. So I now have one client that purchased 2 products and should belong to 2 groups however I only see one group showing in the post profile for example. Should 1 or both groups be showing? I only have 1 that shows in post profile for example. Thanks

Hi, as i understood you should (or better have to) create profile fields, user groups and stuff like that in front of the migration. But what about the forum structure? Should i also create the categories, forums, subforums etc? In the help guides it says: The little "etc" makes me unsure what else i should create... Thanks in advance Chris

Maybe its something obvious, but I am missing it. In IP.Content when you create a feed block you had a list of variables you can use for that feed. Is there such thing in Pages? What I am trying to do is get the gps coordinates of a geotagged pictures in Gallery. It was easily doable in IP.Content, but I cannot see how to do it in Pages.

I have Contact Us set to create a support request. Most departments are set up in Commerce to allow submissions. It appears that I may select only one of the available departments set up in Commerce to receive it. For the department selected I have "submission text" defined but when using the form as either member or Guest I never see the text. I feel I must have missed a setup step or two How/when is the submission text meant to display? Ideally I could also force the user to choose a department so that department-specific submission text would be shown; however form displays no select option. It's just message area, contact info, and bot verification. Is th…

I have a few questions that are probably easy to answer: How is the query for whether a user is logged in or not? I would like to place something directly in the template - depending on whether the user is logged in or not. How can I get the 1st post? Reason: If 1st post, then an ad should be inserted under it. I would like to insert an ad (under the function custom locations) directly after the first post of a topic and on the following pages after the first post, taking into account the responsive css classes: <div class='ipsResponsive_showDesktop ipsResponsive_block'> This element will *only* show on desktop sizes, and will render as a block-…
