I know you can sell trophies (whether via plug-in or core app...I don't remember yet, still getting my bearings). But is it possible for my members to sell the trophies for actual cash to me? If this has to be done manually, fine...but if I could automate the process...that would be excellent. It is one of the core things I need to do within my site.

Hi there I have a questions that was asked of me by my community and because i could not find the answer i though i would ask it here 🙂 My community has a lot of downloaded content and i was asked if the "Number of Downloads on a file represent the same user Downloading it multiple times?" There doesn't seem to be any way to check this in the AdminCP and if there is ways to configure the Download Log as to what its recording. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂

How can search be set to bring back content ONLY with multiple tags? By this I mean, lets say I have 50 images tagged "Italian food" and 25 images tagged "american food". Of those, 3 are tagged "Italian food" AND "american food". When searching, what settings do I need to update so search brings back those 3 tagged "Italian food" AND "american food" rather than bringing back all the images tagged with just one of those two tags (in this case it would be a total of 72 results)?

Might be a dumb question, but I couldn't find an answer and/or solution. We're using the "Popular now" block on the forum index page, Which is super cool and awesome and really does help grow user interactions on interesting threads. The problem is that clicking the thread title takes the user to the FIRST post in the thread (or seeing the last post in the pop-up window). I would think that the preferred behavior - since there is now circle or star logo next to the topic title - would be that clicking the title would take the user to the first UNREAD post. But it doesn't. I installed the "Topic title to first unread" plugin, But it only applies to the topic…

So, this feature is one of the main reasons we chose to move our community to IPS, and thus far guests' ability to post without having to be dragged through registration forms has had a huge impact on registrations (they basically doubled). but after reading a bit more into the feature, I think it isn't working as it should. In the article "unveiling" the feature and also in the guide it says it will only allow users to WRITE the post and then pretty much force them to register with a pop-up/redirect, otherwise the post won't, well, post. On our forums, it actually posts the post and doesn't prompt anything. When trying to post as a guest, it doesn't ask me for …

We have the community installed on our site and the Wordpress SSO set up to connect to the wordpress registration but the community page is openly visible to all. We want the page itself to require then to login to view anything on that page. How is that accomplished? I'm not finding it in settings or on any other threads in the forums here.

So whenever we try to upload an image to our forums in a topic, we seem to get an error (i'll post an image below). I have checked if any plugins/applications need to be updated but none are available. Any ideas where I can start searching for the problem to resolve it? Thank you.

Hi there, Just setting up a forum and articles using Pages. However, the 'basic guide' shows that URLs for Pages articles should be sitename.com/articles/articlename. However, all URLs are sitename.com/index.php/articles/articlename. Anyone know what I've done wrong, and how to lose index.php from the URL? Thanks

Hi there, I'm looking to add the 194 countries to a select box field type in profiles (so, the user has to select their home country when registering). Other than manually entering each 194, is there a simple way to do this, by editing / uploading a file? I've tried cutting and pasting the list, but it all goes into a single cell. Thanks v much!

Our email accounts are not monitored for Commerce as we do everything through the support request/ticket system. However, clearing out emails dating back to 2015. I've come across many replies to tickets within the emails which have of course gone unnoticed. So, two things are going through my mind. Was it not a feature that was or could be enabled? So when someone does reply via email, this is automatically added to the ticket? If this is not the case, how can I stop people replying to the email, could a message be added to the email body notifying the user to not reply to the email but login and answer through the support ticket. The only thing I've found is - …

Hello 🙂 I made my homepage using Pages and the Databases and works everything perfectly but when I set Pages as the default application I can't see the forums anymore. I can read the topics and messages but when I click the voice "Forum" in the menu I am always redirected to the Homepage. My idea was to make the page I created as Homepage and the forum not the index. Is there any other way to do it? Thanks!

From what I experienced so far using the Bulk Mail and Digest feature, the language labels used in delivered mails correspond to the language that is active in the AdminCP. So if English is set as AdminCP language, related labels in mail contents (e.g. Here's the new content from your followed items for the past week.) are also in English, even though the used language in the frontend is another one. To send out mails in the same language as used in the frontend, the AdminCP language has to be switched to that language. My community uses German in the frontend, but I would like to keep English as AdminCP language activated. While switching to German as AdminCP la…

Hello, Is there an easy way to send a bulk email message via dashboard only to people that confirmed their presence in a calendar event (RSVP)? I couldn't find it. That'd be a nice feature to have IMHO. To accomplish this I did the following: 1. Created a new member group and copied its ID (14 in my case). 2. Got the attendees directly from the database. My event ID is 69, so I ran this SQL query via SQL Toolbox: SELECT name,mgroup_others FROM core_members WHERE member_id IN (SELECT rsvp_member_id FROM calendar_event_rsvp WHERE rsvp_event_id=69 AND rsvp_response=1 AND allow_admin_mails=1); 3. I looked over the results and realized most attendees…
