Hello ! I used Nexus along with Paypal in order to allow my board's members to pay a small subscription (amount of money) to a non-profit organisation, so that we can pay for my board's server, licences, etc. Once they had paid, the members were automatically placed in a special group and thus were given access to downloads areas where they could download files created only for them (and which helps them in their work). Since I upgraded to IPB version 4 recently, all this is no longer working. I've checked the Commerce application : - In "Products", I still have my subscription. - In "Payment settings", then in "Payment Methods", I edited "Paypal" …

Hello, We are about to change webhost and for I has some questions regarding license, changes and even content. We got two domains, One assigned to the new website, which I am going to use while I test the transfer, while still keeping the original website alive. Once I know everything works I am going to make the "big" move and move the site altogether.. 1. How do I change license on a site, for example I am going to make a copy and have it run a test license just to check that the moving is working. But if I just copy the site right off the bat and then set it up on another domain, it will interfere with the original site yes? 2. Other than …

Can we use one of the Font Awesome icons as our website’s favicon? Or, how to create favicons with Font Awesome? There is such a possibility? It is possible that we can use direct awesome font character as favicon without converting into image?

Yes, I know this has been asked before - I have searched... - and yet, I cannot get a satisfactory answer. Even this official IPS site displays date/time in the UK format of day month year which is puzzling as it is a USA site... I for the life of me cannot get the formatting to flip over to Month, Day, Year. This is supposed to be done automatically. Server locale is en_US.UTF-8 across the board. Server date is set to Chicago. IPS 4 has English USA as the only language pack. I got nothing in the ACP to work with. Is this something that is supposed to be in conf_global? Totally mystified (equally that the official IPS site is this w…

Hello, I've used IP v 3.x in the past and know that in order to get the SEO friendly URLs to look correct, it was best to install the board into a sub-folder. So I would install the software in /forum and then use IP.Content in the root folder and it would display urls the way I wanted them to be displayed. Coming back to IPv4, I've noticed that if I install the board in the root, it will display the url of a page created as http://example.com/index.php?/pagename/ So I guess my question is, is it better for the friendly URLs scheme, if I install the board into a subfolder like I did using IPv3.x or is there a way to fix this currently with IPv4?…

A few months ago the Bug Tracker was adjusted to use categories, one of which is for archived reports. Those are defined as having been fixed or closed with no response for 15 days or more. The Bug Tracker still has the little HTML block explaining that it's made within Pages without any custom modifications. Is this archiving subject to those conditions an automated process and, if so, how has it been achieved? Or am I imagining it to be far more glamorous than it is and really manual intervention is required?

I need my Nexus prices to show as “nice” numbers after tax is added, e.g. “$20.00”, “$25.00”, but that isn’t necessarily the case if the price is calculated with two decimal figures of the net price. The typical way around this in other shopping software is either: to switch everything to gross pricing for setting up the prices or to allow more decimal figures, so “21.008 × 19% tax = 25.00” not “24,99” if I have to use “21.00” Does Nexus offer any option to achieve this? I can’t find anything.

I know it's possible, but I'm not smart enough to figure it out. I'm using [HSC]'s topic template tool, and for one application, I would like users to only use the template, and not have the generic text box. How would I go about doing that?

Hi, I'm brand new to IPS and am setting up the features I want to use on my forums. I am trying to bring in some RSS feeds as new posts. I started doing this with my own blog and it seems to have pulled in every post on the feed. Is there a way to limit what old content is created as a post? Ideally i'd like to just create posts for new entries going forwards from the date that I set up the RSS link. thanks, Ben

Hi there. Just wondering if there is a setting or easy way to get rid of the sidebar in pages. The page I'm working on doesn't need a side bar, but even if I put nothing (wigets/blocks) in the side bar, it seems to still be there but just a blank space to the right of my main block (the car image one with pointers on it)? I'm using a 2 column layout for the page, which can be viewed here >> https://civic5.com/forum/honda-civic-buyers-guide/ The other thing I noticed is when I create a block (even with just an image in it) it seems to put a border round it. Anyway I can get rid of the line around the outside of a block? If you look at the main block with the car…
