Hi, Im using Pages and i use different categories to store my articles in (football based website). On my main page im using the 3 Column Image feature (http://fminside.net/players/) which looks fine. But as i said i store my articles in different categories, so in the articles and on the homepage aswell, you can navigate to the different categories. Clicking on that link will bring you to the following page: This shows a 'Forum' based template, listing the articles like this. However, i would like to have the Category page looking exactly the same as the home page, but only showing the articles in that specific category. Where do i find t…

Can you get ftp access via Community In The Cloud? I can't find anything in the ACP about it, or the guides, whilst I was not given any details to be able to access the files in this way upon migration to the service.

Greetings. I have a small community of people that exchange information about services in one area of my country. Only one area, not the whole country. I've been approached by a company interested in using my community, but they want me to provide information for the whole country, instead of one region. I don't want to have 30 forums on the main webpage, so I'm seeking some advice. I just want to be sure that visitors and users have access easy and fast to their area and they do not get distracted by other areas. What I need is a way to hide and show forums easily without using group permissions. The most logical and easy way for users and customers wo…

Hello, I was thinking about moving IPS to the root level of the domain (www.site.com) from a sub-domain (forum.site.com), but I still want to use forum.site.com instead of site.com/forum for Forums application and I want to know if there is a way to do that without buying a new license. I can't see a simple way to do that without a new license but maybe someone will know Why I want to do that? Because I want to use a portal on the root level (with IPS framework) but in the same time I want to use a sub-domain just for forums application. Thanks for your time!

I know how to code it in html, css, and do any js bits I need. I just can't get it to display on my IPS site. I'm making it in an html template in my theme. Where can I put the call to that template? In my globalTemplate? Where at on that? It's a nav bar totally separate from the main IPS one, which would appear in the bottom right corner of my site. Whenever I put it anywhere in my globalTemplate at the moment, it just shows up in that area. ie: above the top nav bar if I put it there, in the content area if I put it there, in my footer or below it if I put it there, etc... Where do I put it / or what can I do to make it "break" the content area and display where I …

Hi, In the system/overview/security there is a "high" that says the following: I have DirectAdmin and should be able to adjust it myself. I did find how to get to the php disable_functions in DirectAdmin, but have no idea what to add or remove from it. The following is mentioned: system,exec,shell_exec,passthru,proc_get_status,proc_nice,proc_terminate,dl,popen,pcntl_exec What is it and why does it have such a high security risk? Can I make it secure without any problems? How do I make it secure? TIA,

I am using IPS Community Suite Pages Pages 4.1.11.1 as a web site. How do I add social media share buttons to the pages as I would like to use this feature. I also have the theme Twilight 4.1.8 installed and set as the only one. Thank you for any help you can give. The site is located at larnacataxis dot com (not sure if I was allowed to post a link so did it like this not to offend)

Hi all, Just recently purchase the IP suite, after previously running a successful forum nearly 10 years ago now, I'm excited to get back into the game! I have a question though first - is there a way I can hide the number of posts within a forum (as attached). If possible I would like to hide that stat until it becomes a figure less likely to put off new members, who may think there's little activity (as there will be to start). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if there is nothing on search, I have searched but had no luck, but either way thought it was a good way to introduce myself to everyone regardless. Thanks

Is it possible for users to mark themselves as "invisible," so their online status is hidden? I thought there was an option for this but can't seem to find it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? *EDIT* Thanks, @Square Wheels! I was searching for "invisible" when I should have been searching for "anonymous." Your answer helped me find the correct spot.

Hi, I have noticed the setting that lets you set a theme per page but can't seem to get it working right. Should I be able to have a theme set to a page/forum section so that when a user visits that page they see the new theme? And when they return to a page with the original them it swaps back? I want to duplicate my theme, then set certain pages to use different themes with header images specific to that section. Can I do this?

I can see that one can select payment methods accepted for products but how do I set this up for donations? Right now my members could technically send donations with POINTS! I use points economy as it is integral to how I run my site, and I can turn points on and off for each product but not donations. Thankfully I have a honest bunch but that certainly isn't a solution.
