is it possible to override the general permissions of a user group for certain permissions only on a member?
If we want to give some specific permission to a single member, we have to create a group just for him.
It would be easier for each member to also be configurable on all permissions which will take priority when activated over general group permissions.

Would it be possible to sell lesson or coaching hours using the calendar?
The trainer would put his available times and days in the calendar and then any member could easily see and then buy.
thanks

when we see what IPS has today as site integration by API, there is not much unfortunately
what is essential missing and that you would like to see?
I would like to see ZOOM, calendly ...

can you please increase the use of site automation and if possible make it easier for the developer for example to integrate this into their application.
for example that any action, reading a subject, clicking on a button... on the site can be chosen in "when"
and dane "then", be able to send a private message, an email, change groups...
thanks

Translation APIs for multilingual communities.

Hi all,
Several of my members have organized a weekly Zoom Call and I am looking for a creative way to feature it on my site.
I was wondering if any of you do something like this and would be willing to share your ideas.
Thanks!

You can use this plugin until IPS implements it. 😋
 

Well, IPS has outlasted all but a few competitors.  While that has benefits, a little good old-fashioned competition is good for businesses as it often inspires employees to be ever more creative and to push themselves and their company as a whole to be just a little bit better year in and year out. 
Without competition businesses often become more and more complacent and more willing to accept the status quo.  There's a term in the startup world, the MVP or minimum viable product. 
Too often that becomes the norm for product release cycles and not for the early months while you are striving to make it big.  With no "real" competitors companies tend to release a string of "nice" features and never seem to stive to release only "great" ones.  They embrace quantity over quality.
Meeting you customer's needs is "fine", but delighting them?  That can really set a company apart and make them truly competitive in the marketplace, even against far larger competitors.
Instead of releasing a bunch of features one after another I would encourage looking more holistically at the product suite and release features that work together to better allow communities to interact more effectively and truly delight their membership. Release a feature once with all of the things one would want on day one not fill in the missing pieces over the course of many subsequent releases. Release a feature once (and be bug free) then move on. Repeat the process with the next feature.
That would be something I would like IPS to strive for in the future, doing so would put the last remaining competitors in their dust.
 

It does have certain conditions already, mostly based on demand/requests. It would be possible to add another condition "When member receives a badge" if there is enough support for adding it.

@rebraf 
 
this application seems to be able to answer in part.
it would be nice if we could use it with conditions.
If a member receives this badge, send this email, or post this message in the telegram chat..

would it be possible to improve the subscription and checkout page to make them more powerful and better convert the sale?
we could for example use widgets...
here is the example of a subscription page and another of checkout

Zapier should be available to you on your self-hosted install. Check out this guide to setup Zapier:
 

I'm sorry but despite what you say I'm still pretty confident.
A promising LMS application was released in the summer of 2018 and it's almost 3 years since it is still in beta without any real evolution at the present time.
The logic of things is that one should stop believing in it and be realistic in seeing it since its development is clearly neglected.
But it seems that very soon a version with the integrated Quiz should finally be released.
Frankly, an LMS is really nothing special, complicated that cannot be done on IPS.
It is just a matter of being able to present schools, subject categories, lessons in video or downloadable PDF format, and make the school or lesson categories payable.
Thing that IPS can do very well as they have Commerce.
Regarding the management of groups and members, IPS is its strong point, word press is far behind.
Lots of things also on word press can sadly only be done from the admin panel.
And what is done from the admin panel here, IPS is much better and more user-friendly
The big problem is knowing it and understanding what is blocking at IPS, why today in 2021, they are still not a progressive web app.
And I do not understand that we can write a blog post just to announce the possibility of being able to post anonymously.
Normally a monthly article should contain at least 5 new items of this type as this is not an extraordinary addition.
The future of IPS, and it's what seems to be happening, I only see it in the core of its cms, chat, group management, member, user profile, private messaging and interactivity (hopefully) between member: points, badge, trophy, ranking.
By having integrated Zapier, IPS accepted that we may need an external alternative specialized on a typical product because it is their specialty.
IPS has its members, its groups but offers the possibility of using Zendesk for customer service because Zendesk specializes in this and IPS is not its foundation to focus on a powerful database for customer management.
If all you need is simple customer service, IPS offers you something for that integrated and not very expensive in comparison, but if you want something more powerful, here is zendesk that integrates easily.
The same can be done with someone who wants to write a sales page using the word press environment, with a registration on thrive cart, and then registration and management of the member in the IPS environment.
There is a different vision of the web and its future.
Regarding this point, LMS, I do not think that the strong point is in the simple possibility of being able to make the environment also available on a mobile application because that is the real concern, difference, for me that I see here between learn dash and an LMS on IPS.
 I do not see anything extraordinary, to present lessons by categories in video format or in download. IPS can do this very well.
Regarding the interactivity between member or group, I am convinced that IPS is stronger but also in the user-friendliness concerning the administration as well as the admin panel for the webmaster.
I do not expect much from the design to display video or pdf, except for simplicity so no comparison to make here.
If I had to compare two LMSs my question is which LMS achieves high engagement and result rate at the lowest cost.
This is because the dropout rate in distance education is extremely high.
Design and everything else is only secondary ... especially what's best and simplest today is what's uncluttered and heavy with a lot of unnecessary stuff.
I expect more real progress on a rate of engagement and success for the students and this at a lower cost, because it requires careful monitoring of each member.
It is not possible to make everything automated, at some point you need to be in front of a real human, a real follow-up, and to have encouragement from a real human and no more from a score given by a quiz.
I think that gamification through achievement badges, points, scoreboards, and collective mutual aid in clubs can relieve the costs quite well in order to make it easier to bring real things into remote teaching.
Without it, the teaching and study environment will be boring and dropouts extremely high.

I understand that if one thing will not really change at IPS, it is more or less how the forum works (discussion-message) and it has been this system for about twenty years or more.
It seems to work very well for discussion forums about sports, games, ...

But on the point that I have strong doubts, and which I think it is time today to stop hoping and believing, is that in the coming years there will be even more new communities created around of this system of discussions concerning all themes.
______________

Today if a person has a health problem, will they end up on a discussion forum talking about It and then post their problem to discuss it?
I think not, it is very likely that she will come across an article site related to the subject and offering training to get out of this problem.
We'd rather have a rich article straight to the point than read lots of people discussing it.
Therefore, I think it would be good in the future if it is possible to write a quality article on page with a tool similar to optimizpress, thrive architect on wordpress

Below this article, guest comments about this problem.
And to go further, a private forum, coaching, videos, quizzes, interaction, and motivation to get out of this problem between private members.
I think downloads needs to be updated to become an LMS because just sharing files is no longer attractive today.
This is the logical continuation after the creation of downloads 10 years ago now.

Badges are important in the sense that they allow a quick visual to know a little about the credibility of the writer of the message if I may say so.
Maybe a simple registration date and a number of messages on a profile would be enough for some like you.
If not more widely, they also allow to integrate a gamification system in order to encourage participation especially towards new registrants and to make the profile system more informative and evolving.
This is the very first version and like very first version it is not the best but it will surely be improved over time just like IPS 1.0 was.
Whatever thing we're dealing with, whether it's writing an article or setting up a web page, I have learned over time that the best I think is not to render them. heavy things with lots of written or visual repetition by seeing the user as a person who does not understand anything at all and that must be repeated as many times as possible or make things that are immediately obvious with lots of colors or big visuals with the goal that he can not miss anything that we want to convey to him. Rather, it may make things difficult to assimilate and to scare away because it is too tiring.

Badges are a good thing but are not part of the main message for regular (and majority) users when opening a page.
Therefore, it should be less intrusive. Maximum a single icon can be on the main page of the message and with a maximum of discretion.
Because the goal is not to convey the main message of the page but to bring information to a new reader on a question which he asks himself "who am I in front?". He will have to search and he will find even if the information is discreet.
Regular users know that such is the moderator, credibility in his posts etc.
The gamification system is also becoming less useful for regular writers I think.
unlike instagram and other social networks, i don't think the old editors here are looking to have as many likes and badges as possible but rather to have their post read and accepted.

it would be nice if it is possible to propose different groups according to the main group.
If you are a member here are the public groups that you can join.
If you are moderator, here are the public groups that you can integrate.
....

also that certain groups are only available by select box. it's this one or this one
