This type of helpful welcome feature is utilized in so many different types of products, from when you first turn on a new phone, when you launch Photoshop or any Adobe application for the first time, in video games, and so much more. Sometimes their interactive, and sometimes they just highlight 1 feature at a time, explain what it does, then you click next and it highlights another feature, and you always have the option to "Skip", "Skip Tour". This would be incredible if it was built in to IPS, but if someone could make it a plugin, I'm sure something like this would (or at least should) sell like hotcakes.

Due to the fact that Group Promotions is not currently working correctly right now, and will not get fixed until 4.5, it really has an effect on using certain Members Shop items for purchase based on Groups. I planned on having 4 groups, where the highest of the 4 had all capabilities. The first 3 groups were limited, but were going to be able to purchase the ability with the help of Members Shop. Example: Group 1, (New registrants) would have the ability to use a signature, animated profile photo, change member title, etc. DISABLED, but if they accumulated enough points, they would be able to purchase the ability to do so. So it looks like I will wait until 4.5 is released, and then wait for Members Shop to be updated to work with 4.5 as well. -------------------------- Ideas For Adding 'Members Shop' Custom Items [IPS DOWNLOADS/COMMERCE Required] Custom Profile Photos Custom Cover Photos Custom Signature Banner If you are someone who works with Photoshop and After Effects, Davinci Resolve, etc. and is pretty good at using these programs, in a matter of minutes you could create some custom items that your members are sure to enjoy. Yes anyone can take an image, crop it, and use it as a avatar. But if you know you're way around Photoshop, you can create tons of custom made avatars based on the theme of your forum. You can then add these avatars to the Downloads section of your forum, and instead of charging real money or offering them for free, you can set a Points price for each one. You can create categories and subcategories to best sort them all out. Once you create a master PSD file with the correct size of your avatar/cover photo/signature banner, it will be even faster to create new images. Example, I have 3 PSD's open at a time to create a single avatar. Create the main avatar. Create the square shaped screenshot that is shown in the front end, Downloads section. (You can not use the actual avatar as a screenshot, people would be able to view this image and just save and use it without having to purchase it.) Create a second screenshot showing how the avatar would look like on your actual forum. To take things a step further, I am also adding as custom items: Animated Profile Photos Animated Cover Photos I don't plan on offering Animated Signature Banners, but you could do that too. This all depends on your type of forum and what the theme is, but you can add some animation to images with little effort, as long as you utilize some premade green screen footage and animated elements. There are many premade After Effects templates such as Glitch ones, where all you have to do is add your image in there, adjust the intensity of the glitch effect, and then save it as a gif. You can create the effect of someone blinking very easily in Photoshop. The possibilities are endless. Have a horror themed forum? Add some smoke, or fog over an image, blood splatter, etc. There are 2 ways you can offer these, make some on your own, and add them to your Downloads section. Or, let people purchase a 'Custom Animated Profile Photo' and let them tell you what they want, to an extent, who they want to use, or what type of effect, then you can create it. Or you can do both methods. Have premade 'Animated Profile Photos' for 9000 points, and 'Custom Animated Profile Photos' for 14000 points. Another way I plan on utilizing my Photoshop skills, I plan on creating custom Mobile Wallpaper and have those for purchase in my Downloads section. There are many templates out there already which will help you create wallpapers in the right size. I plan on creating iPhone Notch/Notchless, then standard one, for a large Android size phone such as the Samsung Galaxy S20/Note 10. You don't have to create custom ones to work with the "punch-holes" of these phones, but you can, if you want to offer that many unique style wallpapers. You could always run a poll on your forum and see which type of phones people are using more. Speaking of wallpapers, I am considering creating custom ones for desktop/laptop too, but these will be last. -------------------------- These are just a few ideas I wanted to share with my fellow MS users. If any of you are doing anything special with 'Custom Items' for your community, I would love to hear about it. Thanks.

I appreciate that sir, thank you. I'm actually taking my time getting things set up, mostly due to setting up custom items I will be offering. The ACP menu looks great. Looking forward to the update. Is there anyway you could allow me to leave my 5 star review on the Members Shop product page? If not, no worries. 😉

I am not sure if this has anything to do with your problem, but in a separate instance, not having anything to do with Members Shop, I reached out to IPS support regarding a Group Promotion issue I was dealing with, and I received this response: Hello, Sorry for any confusion here. The issue here is a bug in the group promotion rules, in which is resolved in the next upcoming release of the platform. It would be advisable to switch off those rules for now until there is a fix available. Kind Regards, Marc Stridgen

It was purchased directly on your site. Members Shop is easily one of, if not the best plugin in the marketplace. Thanks for creating it. 👍🏼

Hello fellow Members Shop purchasers, I'm usually "ok" when using Google Inspect and finding how to target things and adjusting the style with css, but I can not figure this one out. Could someone please tell me how to change the text color on the item buttons when hovering over the button? When mousing over the button, the color of the text changes to a dark color, which makes it hard to see. I'd appreciate the help. Thanks. UPDATE: I figured this out with the help of a css editor add-on for Chrome.

You are most welcome.

Instead of going to your AdminCP, go to ModeratorCP, I have Announcements in there I can create and choose where and how they show up. On Mobile:

Is it possible you could take a screenshot of the results of this looks like on the front end?

With 'Allow Reviews' enabled in the Downloads > Categories section. I added the following bit of CSS to my custom.css file: .ipsRating { display: none; } .ipsRating + span { margin-left: -10px; } and it got rid of the Star Rating display, and adjusted the placement of "(0 reviews)". You can still write and leave reviews. Was is that simple? Can any CSS masters out there confirm if this is ok? Thank you.

I just did a test and disabled 'Allow Reviews' and this disabled the display of the Star Rating, but also the ability to leave a review. It's too bad these are linked together in the Downloads section, when on other parts of the forum you can JUST disable Star Ratings. Is there a workaround for this, to just HIDE the display of the Star Ratings in Donwloads? I just looked for a plugin, couldn't find one unfortunately. Thanks for the reply though.

I looked in the Categories section of Downloads, I can not find a way to disable the Star Rating system. I want to leave the Review part on, where people can write and leave a review, but since I disabled Star Ratings throughout my forum, since 99.9% of people never used it, I don't need it to show in the Downloads section. Is this possible? Thank you.

That should be it, if you don't send the notification, maybe there's a bug. I'll check and get back to you. I really appreciate you looking into this. Thank you. 🙏

WOW, incredible response time. 👍 I'll try and find the correct template and remove it. Thank you. UPDATE: WOW, that wasn't hard. I found the correct template file thanks to the search feature. I then removed 1 line of code, and now it's gone. Thank you for recommending for me to do it that way. Easy fix.

Is it possible you could tell me how to hide the "#" symbol with css? If not no worries, I'll ask around on the forum. Thank you.

Links Directory as well please.

UPDATE FOR CLARITY: I may have worded this wrong, sorry. Is it possible in a future update, you can add the ability to enable a notification to be sent to a seller when someone asks a question on one of their adverts? Thank you.

Is it possible this "Notification of Question Asked" feature could be implemented in an upcoming update? This definitely feels like it should have been a part of the app from launch. Thank you @Adriano Faria for all your hard work. 👍

It was all a misunderstanding on my part, I got confused by what I'm able to see as a admin, over how members see it. Marc pointed me in the right direction. Problem solved. Everything is working again. Thanks for your assistance @Morrigan

I tried this, and it did not work. I did find something weird though. If I log in to the ACP and then click on a members name. then select 'Go to Public Profile', then while on the Profile Page I select 'Edit Profile', I scroll down and I see the Signature field. Now if I visit someone's profile and select Edit Profile, it shows up, sometimes. But everytime I select my own profile page, I do not see the option. I have 4 Admin accounts, I tried the above method for the other 3 accounts, acp/go to public/edit and I see their Signature field, but when I try my own, it never shows up.

Thank you. This worked. All signatures are showing again. Now I just have my original problem of the signature field not visible to edit on the profile page. I disabled all 3rd party plugins, and theme, but the field was still not showing. Thanks again.

I spent a good amount of time yesterday setting up new groups, I now have a total of 4 groups. Only the first group I had Signatures disabled. The other 3 groups Signatures is enabled. On my forum, Signatures are still being shown, but when you go to Edit Profile, if you are in 1 of the groups where it's enabled, the Signature field is NOT visible on the Edit Profile page. I even tried Enabling Signatures in the 1 group, so all groups have Signatures enabled, but when I went to Edit Profile, the field still was not there. Does anyone know why this would be happening, or how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help with this. UPDATE: When you are looking at a signature on the forum, as an admin you see this option to the right that says something like "ignore signature preferences" and "hide all signatures". I selected, "hide all signatures" thinking I would then see an option to "show all signatures", but I don't. How do you turn the signatures back on?

While all the new features of 4.5 are great, look incredible, I can't wait to start messing with them, there is no way I would even think of upgrading until ALL of my 3rd party apps/plugins have been updated to work with 4.5 ...
