Is there a way of showing pagination in a 'display more' format like the activity streams, rather than by x amount per page? 

The forums are always the right choice, since an answer here can be helpful for many. So I always prefer it over private questions. 

Under Pages → Templates.
And yes, that’s the right way to add page-specific CSS. 

It's almost like opentype has used pages a couple of times 😉 

I'll move this over to community support for you as there may be others who also have more ideas. Its not something we have within the software outside of the pages application solution mentioned. But that doesnt sound like what you are going to need here

Looking at options for sending out newsletters. In the past I have just done it directly through the admin panel, being careful to only send 1000 at a time to minimise the risk of being blacklisted. Now I have taken someone on who is going to be managing regular email marketing campaigns monthly, or perhaps even weekly to a subscription base of 30,000. I would like to know what software everyone is using to do this. I have obviously looked at the obvious ones like mail chimp and active campaign, but the prices are going to stack up pretty damm quickly using those.
I see invision already has send grid set up for use, but that doesn't look cheap either. Also if I understand it correctly, using that will mean forum notification emails etc will go through that also, eating into my valuable quota.
I do have some budget on this but obviously want to do it the most cost efficient way. If this means sending it through invision still with a workaround to avoided being blacklisted that would obviously be great. Particularly if the email campaign (opens, click throughs etc) can be tracked.
Hope to get some good replies from you guys. Thanks.

@DawPi has a very nice little plugin that I use that will also change any amazon affiliate links posted to use your own amazon affiliate code.

The example I showed is actually using a different IPS app to community map. Sorry if that wasn't clear

Ive just done more or less the same thing on my site with user based permissions.
Regular guests and members get to see a map at a fixed location which is of no real use. To be able to zoom right in they need to upgrade.
Image below is what regular members see. Enough to see theres something in their area but not enough to present any security issues.

Hi,
Am I able to restrict how precise a member can pin their location.
I'm happy for members to select their town / general area, but not any more specific than that for security/safety.

Yellow Pages and SuperDirectory are based on IPS’ Pages app. Think of them as a styling optimized for directories. You will not gain functionality as you would with an app that is specifically coded to be directory. 

This is good news
 

Slightly confused over this. Apparently theres no longer any need to get a site submitted for approval

That being the case, what exactly am I supposed to put on this field?
 

Actually you might be able to ignore this. It doesn't appear to be linked, but I could swear when I looked 10 minutes ago one of the words was autolinked. Will screenshot if it happens to reappear
 

Things changing as there are upgrades will always be an issue for any custom development.
To guard against large impacting changes as much as possible, make sure that in your scope of work, the developer is only interacting with IPS through the API and does not directly touch or have access to the IPS database.

It is a plan that you must do or your server admin or both 🙂
Installing Centos 7 for the next 4 years and then when things are more mature you can migrate.
You may be able to adjust your existing installation and start using it following another Centos like distribution.... so no need to reinstall 🙂
Or you can go ahead with Ubuntu for example. But check first that your control panel (if you use any) to support it and check also any scripts that you will use to be compatible also.
IPS don't care if it is on top of Centos or Ubuntu... It just needs the web server, php, mysql, and other related software like Redis or Elastic search to work.
IPS will perform better on the most minimal installation of the OS and to the better optimized Network, kernel, software e.t.c

I am surprised that this is not possible in the admin panel.  I was told that we use a cron job within the server itself.  Our WP sites are backed up via the admin side though.

If it isn't a managed server then you can set it up with a cronjob.
#!/bin/bash BACKUPTIME=`date +%b-%d-%y` DESTINATION=/root/backup/backup-$BACKUPTIME.tar.gz echo "Creating backup of database to $SQLDUMP" mysqldump --single-transaction --quick --databases forum | gzip -9 > $DESTINATION echo "Dump Zipped up" echo "Uploading zipped dump to the Amazon S3 bucket…" nice -n 10 ionice -c2 -n 7 s3cmd put $DESTINATION s3://cdn.myforumDB-backups/ echo "Removing the backup file $SQLDUMP" rm $DESTINATION echo "WooHoo! All done" And for files I have this
#!/bin/bash BACKUPTIME=`date +%b-%d-%y` DESTINATION=/root/backups/backup-$BACKUPTIME.tar.gz SOURCEFOLDER=/srv/http/forum/root/html nice -n 10 ionice -c2 -n 7 tar -cpzf $DESTINATION $SOURCEFOLDER echo "Uploading zipped dump to the Amazon S3 bucket…" s3cmd put $DESTINATION s3://cdn.forum/Files-backups/ echo "Removing the backup file $SQLDUMP" rm $DESTINATION echo "WooHoo! All done"  

Thanks for building this Nathan, however its not working for me unless I am missing something.  Player should automatically embed right?
 
 

We're on the case. We're looking to see if it does affect our social log in. If it does, we'll get an update out.
