Hypervisor

The selection on whether or not to cache a block is when you create a custom block with custom content, and create this from the admin CP. You will not see this on standard blocks you add on the front end of the site

There really is a LOT lacking within the commerce piece of this platform. I was able to get more flexibility from vBulletin subscriptions 12 years ago than what I can do with this platform in 2020. It's really frustrating.

Thank you again for your response Morrigan!
I think I'm doing a bad job at asking the question.
I am familiar with the REST API and know that tags in the database page templates are distinct from that API. 
My question is focused primarily on how people know the tags or HTML template functions they have at their disposal without some sort of documentation of those calls. The code snippet I posted above was listed in the Admin CP but I'm sure there has to be many more calls similar to that which aren't listed in the Admin CP (I think?).
If I wanted to start developing a plugin or application for the platform, I don't see where the platform is documented sufficiently to perform such a task but I see people doing it which leads me to believe I'm missing something.
Again, thank you for your time and suffering through the poor explanation of my question.
 

Unfortunately, there are no out of the box settings to modify this behavior. You'd need to create an extension to get this desired functionality.

OH! Okay. Well I don't know if the developer docs show much about theming. BUT! The help guides do!

The code snippet you posted is JUST for pages and just for Pages templates as I explained about.
When you make a plugin you create an array of data (probably through a query) so we'll say $myarray and so you'd be pulling the data from that. So it would be $myarray[thing1] or whatever. In the above you'll want to look specifically at "Template syntax". @Hypervisor

So you've looked at this:

Or are you looking for help with templates because that's a template tag.

To add a little more context: The Marketplace downloads have been a big mess in the past. Behind the download button, there could be anything and any number of files. TAR, XML, PDFs, ZIPs (which could again include anything) of one resource version or even multiple resource versions. That was rather confusing for the users, since they had to figure out on a case-by-case basis what to do with the downloaded files and often it would lead to problems like trying to install a template as plugin, plugin as app and so on. The new system forces any resource to be a single file of a specific type. That’s a huge step forward and is the only way to allow the (now possible) one-click installations which benefit a large percentage of the users. 
Additional resources now need to be provided in a different way, but it is still possible. Check with the author of the file how to get those if it isn’t mentioned on the product page or the Additional Information tab. There is no need to keep full downloads just for the 1% of resources which had additional files in the package. 

This is the expected behavior with 4.5 and purchases on Marketplace. You cannot access the files directly, regardless if you are self-hosted or a CIC customer.

It is currently not possible to give your customers the option to manually pay an invoice early or wait for the automatic renewal to kick in once the product expires.
If you set the option "Customer can renew" for something like 7 days. If they have a card saved it will automatically bill them immediately once the invoice is generated. (so 7 days before the product expires)
It's not a good experience for the customer to be automatically billed a week before their renewal (if they have auto renew on). Yet, I still want to give the option for members who don't have their card saved to pay the invoice early so that their product doesn't run the risk of expiring.
So, I'm left in a position where I would like to set it to 7 days but I can't set it to more than 1 day because automatic renewals should always happen as the expiry date is reached.
I hope I was able to make myself clear and that the importance of this feature be taken into account.

You're probably going to need some sort of customization

I think this is a bug in ips theme templates 
--------
 
 
 
for anyone else in case if a slider image doesn't show
try to do this to fix
search for this template name then just click the Save button on it
slider2
 

Just purchased this theme and installed in on a new install of IPB. It works good and has a familiar feel to it as Infraskew however when I set up a Slider in the same way I set it up in Infraskew, the picture doesn't display and the time icon just sits and spins. I've been out of the program for awhile so I may be making a dumb operator error but the same pic works fine with Infraskew slider. Not sure what I'm missing?
Never mind, dumb mistake on my part....
