Hi there, We're using pages to post a couple of articles a day on different topics. Is there any way for a user to automatically or through choice select to receive notifications when any article is published within a pages database? Many thanks

Hi All, New user here, I've dug through the forums and I can't find any way to do this. We have a new community and were setting it up to use the Pages and Articles to create a How-To section. This should be forward facing and we want anyone browsing the web to be able to see all the articles. But the attachments to the articles should only be available to members (or specific groups). I can't find a way to do this. I'm sure I'm missing something. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I searched and found something named Announcement Block. However, reading through them I'm not sure it's the same thing. So I'll ask. I visited two sites so far who coincidentally are using IPS. Each one of them had an Announcement Banner right at the top of the site. I love that and was wondering how they did that. I went into our ACP and could not find anything even in the Advertisement area. Unless I missed it of course. Anyway, just asking to see if that Announcement Banner is something that is available on IPS. Thanks as always, Ivan

Hi I don’t remember this being such a problem. But lately it’s been really annoying me that I can’t click the pancake stack until after the scroll bar goes away. I am on mobile iOS. Can anything be done about this? To be fair I think my clumsy thumb just can’t avoid clicking the scroll bar instead of the pancake stack but it feels buggy. Even though it’s probably a fat finger issue

Hello all, I have a question regarding usergroup permissions, specifically for moderators and supermoderators. I would like these usergroups to be able to soft delete posts and not hard delete information off the server when they are removing topics and posts. Can someone tell me if information is soft deleted or not when they have the permissions to delete in the group permissions? Also, under mod/supermoderator permissions there is an option that says 'Can Manage All Deleted Content'. What exactly does this mean, does this mean that if something has been soft deleted, they would be able to hard delete it? Any advice for setting up mod and super…

I'm thinking of adding Pages to my forum, but I don't want the Pages installation to become the 'home page', I'd want the forum to be the home page with Pages as an additional section. If I purchase and install Pages, will that automatically become the Home Page or would I have the option of designating that?

Hi all, Does anyone know if there is a way to set up the file downloads to be hosted elsewhere rather than through the server? For example, if a user wants to sell photography presets, can we host the files on Amazon cloud and have the download be delivered from there rather than directly through our server?

I was thinking of using only social log-in handlers for my community when it launches (Facebook, Twitter, Google). I was wondering if this is something you would all recommend or be against for your own community if you were to start it today? Why or Why Not? I was thinking of doing this since those big companies have more robust security vs what I can provide so if somebody were to circumvent the new account registrations through proxy's for my community, they wouldn't be able to do the same with those three. Also, I was thinking of using it cause its 1 less login username/pw to remember in this world of dozens of username/pw.

Hello guys, I created a new database for Ranking some products and I used custom fields for the criteria. The custom field is a number and I want all of them to be listed using this value, so in the database page I set to order the items by that custom field and it should be like: 2002,1816,240,142 etc. But doesn't work, it mix up, if I change the order from ascendig to descening things doesn't change, it mix them again. As you can see I set Sort by the custom field I want but yet, nothing worked 😮 Maybe I am missing something? 😕

Hi all! We'd like to add the Grid View of recent "Blog" entries as a placeable Pages block. Was hoping the following would work, but all I'm getting is "No Story Entries Yet" (We've renamed the module Stories, and use it for user-written Literature). Any help would be amazing, thanks! We're on the latest 4.4.10. {expression="\IPS\Output::i()->jsFiles = array_merge(\IPS\Output::i()->jsFiles, \IPS\Output::i()->js('front_browse.js', 'story'))"} <section class='ipsType_normal ipsSpacer_both cBlog_grid' data-controller='blog.front.browse.grid'> {{if \count($entries)}} {{$count = 0;}} {{if $pagination['page'] == 1}} <div class='cBlog_grid_row cBl…

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.

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…
