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

I'm not even sure if this possible but I was a little disappointed when updating to the latest release did not include PHP 7, since it was a headline for the release and Charles even mentioned how good it is here: Can it be done on CIC? Did I miss some info about it? Or will be it happening further down the line? (I know some of this is more feedback or maybe even better suited in the Client Lounge but it is a potentially complicated issue and so just threw all of the questions in here -- I'll happily post them separately in another forum if that would be better.)

In IPB 3.x it was possible to set up a custom permission set and assign it to a member to restrict access to a specific board without having to create a whole new member group solely for that one user. In IPB 4.x however (unless I'm just not seeing it) the custom permission sets seem to be gone, so how do I do this now ? Thank you.

Right now my membership is set up for monthly payments. I see how to create a coupon code so that I can make the cost $1 for the first month. Is there a way to use the coupon feature to provide a $1 7 day trial and then they are billed after the 7 days? Or will this require customized code?

Hi all, am I missing something? I bought a new IPB cloud hosted package about an hour and a half ago, got the "your community is ready" email about an hour ago, but the page is just HTML. Even the admin panel is all over the place and I am unable to click the link to upload a new theme. Do I just need to wait a bit longer? (why did I get "your ready to go!" email then?)

As the title says, I want to know if chargebacks are handled for payments, specifically PayPal and Stripe gateways, and if so is there a function I can hook to add my own code? I'm asking because I'm writing a plugin to integrate with my accounting software and I need to be able to void an invoice if a user creates a dispute.
