@hpcrazy do you've full access to your server?

This is the window which opens up when I want to add cron jobs. I have no clue what to do there. On my old server there was no such problem.

I am getting recurring warning messages in my Admin CP that " Wartungsarbeiten " Maintenance Jobs can not be proceeded on my server and I need to setup the Cron Jobs on my server for that. What would be this ? I have no idea - any help ?

Here the warning message in german :

Hey Interferon,

thanks for your information. That was really useful. In fact I was thinking about 10% but one person I asked said exactly what you said. And I agree if you put up a referral system somebody probably needs a bigger community themselfes since conversion rates are not really high in general.

Hey guys,

I am thinking about to activate the referral feature for my member to engage my members to get other people to join my community and make a subscription. Does anybody has experience on that how it works or is there any documention in detail how it works ?

Thanks for your help in forward.

Hey guys,

is there any audio file player available for the Invision Power Board where you just put in the URL of a .mp3 or .wav file ?

Thanks for your help in forward.

Hey guys,

I just purchased an award system which unfortunately does not work on version 4.5.x

Is there any marketplace plugin available which would work on my version of IPB ?

Hey PPlanet,

that information was really useful. My backup software lets me select UTF8 or Unicode for the backup. So you would recommend that I select Unicode ?

@all - does anybody has the CHMOD information for the directories ? I saw some are set on 755

OK - thanks for that. Thats really helpful 🙂

Step 2 - Your new hosting

1. Create a new database
2. Restore your backup from the above steps to the new database you have just created
3. Upload your files and folder, which you backed up from your old server
4. Ensure any folders which should be writable, remain writable on your new server. The folders which should be writable by the software are as follows
   
   applications
   datastore
   plugins
   uploads recursively (all contents)

 

Means which permission code ?

Hey guys,

where do I find instructions how to move the board to a new server ? Do you just upload the files to the new server and  setup a database with the same name ? Is there a CHMOD list for the different directories ? You guys see I have a few questions - haven't done it for a few years so I don't remember and maybe things have changed since then 😄

Thanks for your help in forward.

Hey guys,

how do I change the default language when I have uploaded an other language ? Or even better how do I switch of the language selection and that just the uploaded language works ?

Thanks for your help

Hey guys,

I want to train myself to make my own DB backups and to be  able to restore the DB of IPB myself. I am working with Iperius backup software. Does anybody have experience in that and has a few tips for me ?

Thanks for your help in forward.

Most hosts will have a tool to auto-backup.

yes it backups twice a day. But I would like to be able to make a backup myself. 🙂

How big is your database? Do you have SSH or Telnet access to your site?

it's approx. 60 MB now - i think it's SSH. I was able to make a backup with PhpMyAdmin and Imperius but the question is which settings have to be made that all is stored and how do I upload the backup to the database of a possible new host ? The upload with PhpMyAdmin does not work with this size as far as I know....

Hey folks,

my IPB is  getting more and more traffic and I  slowly need to think about have backups. Can you guess recommend any tool which works to have on going backups just in case to not have too long downtime in case something happens or to migrate the whole board to an other server. I started to work with Iperius but maybe there is an opensource tool which also works ?

Any tip or recommendation would be welcome.

Hey guys,

I have 2 support possibilities which my members can select once they click on the support button ( https://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/members/index.php?/support/ )

Is there a way that on that page ( see link above ) the  possible support tickets are displayed ? In the default setting the only appear when you select the department when you start a support ticket.

That looks awesome 🙂

I like the idea. I can develop a “purchase ticket to events” so nothing of crazy ideas with 10 steps, just a BUY TICKET in the event view then it’s done. 😀

Exactly like that - available for any group in the forum. Even Guests - they purchase the ticket and then get the link sended automaticly once the event takes place.

Thanks guys for your suggestions. I thought about the link in a group only forum - but I would like to sell the streaming link to all members and in such case of course it would not work.

Could a workaround possibly be to create a product in Commerce for each event and then link to that product in the store in the description of the Calendar entry?

Yes thought about this - but such feature would only make sense when the link to the event which is anounced in the calender would only be sent to those who have bought a ticket. That would be an awsome feature.

Hey guys,

is there any feature to sell tickets for events created in the calendar of the IPB ? And if not - is such feature planed ? I would like to sell tickets to my members for livestreaming events.

Took me a moment to get to this now - thanks for your help. Could also fix my other problem now to avoid Guests to create invoices.

I would also welcome such a feature - also if you can select which member groups can enter the chat rooms.

Does anybody know how to avoid that guests are not allowed to send support tickets in the commerce modul ? I see that you can limit it to members who have choosen a subscription package - but I would like to have everybody expect guest to make a support ticket.

Thanks for your help in forward.

HP

OK - thanks that was helpful. 🙂

Does anyone have experience on this topic here. I have quite a number of subscribers in my forum which payed with PayPal on a monthly basis. Some of them have choosen the automatic renewal by PayPal. Now if I change the price of the monthly subscription will that have an effect on those automatic payments ?

Thanks for your help in forward

You will be better off focused on creating unique and valuable content for Google to index. The underlying technical bits such as outputting structured markup and generating sitemaps are already covered.

Thanks for the information - thats exactly what I needed to know. Content is not a problem. I just wanted to make sure you get the best technical SEO backup 🙂
