I would like transactions for buyers and sellers to be safe. It's about ESCROW routing. After purchasing the item, the seller receives a payment but cannot withdraw it from the forum until the buyer approves the receipt of the product. Is there such an option? How to do it?

Hi everyone, I'm making an IPS Application to support my game and I found myself stuck for past few hours. I've been trying to add another tab to leaderboard, just like this: Now, I've managed to achieve above by creating a theme hook and adding another <li> element at the start of tabs. Element code looks like this: <li role="presentation"> <a href="index.php?app=core&module=discover&controller=popular&tab=gamescore" role="tab" id="elTabgamescore" class="ipsType_center ipsTabs_item"> <i class="fa fa-gamepad"></i> Gamescore </a> </li> Next thing I've been trying to do, was to ma…

Strange one and possibly an OCD thing... But, I hate seeing that members ID jump up quite a lot throughout registrations with accounts being banned/deleted, etc. Is there a 'safe' way or is it even possible to recount all the accounts and put them back in descending order? I get this may not work for larger communities or ones that use the member ID as their membership ID, etc. But, I thought I may just ask as it's probably just me that would want to achieve this.

Is there an app option for our personal website communities? I'm looking into apppresser / https://apppresser.com/ still working on it, but right now accessing the community area using the app isn't working. I have a few things I can check on, but wondering if there is another way of doing this? I am using learndash, memberpress and invision community for the forum area. I would like to have an app but of course all the areas need to be accessed when using it.

I did a search and didn't find anything that remotely related to what my question is but if it exists and I simply missed it, I do apologize for asking again. There may be a a reason why I didn't find it though, as my question might seem odd. I have a need to not only receive payments but to also send payments. I have looked through the functions and do not see a way for me to send payments. I thought that maybe on the off chance I may have missed it or not looked at it properly, to ask. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. TYIA

Hi all, I'm trying to create events that repeat every specific day of each month. For instance.. I want to repeat an event every 1st Sunday of each month. Is this possible? Or is there a plugin that adds this? If not, is there a way to integrate the TeamUp calendar somehow? Either by importing events or getting a feed of 'Upcoming Events' from it? We've recently switch to IPB and the Upcoming Events and RSVP features are the biggest reason why I want them to use the IPB calendar.

Even after I applied "content types: topic", the result isn't what I wanted....I think when members click Unread content, most of the time they want to see new topic in the community not others replies. (yes, my website is just a forum so no download, product review or other stuff) Anyone knows to how to fix this or it's what IPS intended to be? Thanks!! ps: forgive me if I posted in the wrong sub-forum, I was struggling among these categories ( here, Product Guidance, Client Lounge and General Chit Chat...)

I have one community which I want to split into 3 websites (not different communities). Since each site is going to be a copy of the org site (without certain apps) I need to retain the existing members on all the sites. Example... 1. Forum Site 2. Blog Site 3. Pages Site Since there is existing content which members are attached too, I have to leave the members on each new site. I would rather have members use one account for all the sites. 1. If I switch over to the API and have Server / Client how will it work with the existing member data over the three sites? Will the user login to the site, it'll check the Server site, and t…

I'm looking for a way to make the Member Numbers show when a member posts (maybe near his total post count and location in left-hand area), as the disappearance of the Member Number has bothered a number of people on our forum. There's an old thread about this here: However, the file to edit now is obviously in a different spot, and I've not been able to find it. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you to everyone for answering all my questions today! Here's another -- is it possible to remove the light grey color that shows behind the edges of the advertisement area when an ad is not quite the full size? I can have the ads redone to the full size, but they are rather large that way. It would be nice if the ad could center in the space and you could see the sight background behind. Is that possible? Thanks. This is the forum, and ads are just below the header and at the bottom (right now). Some are the right width, but most will show some grey filler. https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/
