Any chance of future updates including an option in the ACP to allow us to select/unselect items to be displayed in this particular box? It's fine for geeks, but most end users simply won't be interested in most of what's in there.

Sorry I didn't see that for some reason. I thought I had posted, but when I came looking I didn't see the post I thought I'd already posted. I guess my browser hadn't updated for some reason. Apologies!!

Is there a way to remove some of the unnecessary fields of data from the right hand side block of data, such as weight, submitted, and IP address?

Thank you!!

Hi there, I'm probably being dim again - but I am looking for a block to showcase the latest published articles on my site. I cant seem to see one anywhere. any pointers? Thanks.

Another vote for this please! I'm currently looking at using 3rd party integrations such as Zapier to manage another calendar booking system. Would be lovely to have something native which allowed tracking of meetings within the IPB user accounts.

Thanks Nathan!! Should have spotted that. So sorry!!

Hi, Is there a way to give control to the general community member to allow them to switch the forum area layout to suit their preferences? I've set things to Grid Card view in the ACP because I think it looks nicest, but I appreciate that once people get stuck in they might just want a simpler view of things. Does this user level option exist already? Or is there a way to implement it? Thanks.

Ok - got it running now. Not sure what I did. 😞

I've managed to add clubs to the navigation bar now, but I still have nowhere I can actually create a club from. Really lost. Sorry everyone.

Thanks @opentype ... I'm really sorry for being a bit dim here. Could you give me some pointers on how to manually create the custom HTML for this? Do I edit the template somewhere? And once I've created the custom HTML ... how do I then put that into the text block?

Hi - I have enabled Clubs in my settings, but from there I can't find what to do next. Nothing is appearing anywhere on the site in relation to clubs. Can't see any means of someone creating a club at any point. What am I missing? Thanks.

Is it possible to edit the displayed information in the block to the right of the page? I don't have any need to display the IP address for example - just makes the site look busier than it needs to be. Thanks.

You're a star @opentype - thank you so much!! Loving your work!

Oh great - thank you. And this would work with the SuperGrid too?

Is there a way to make the Category listing page more beautiful? Is there any way to add images to the category blocks? Or even a different coloured background to each one?

Hi, Is it possible, when writing an Article, to include a link to a specific file in the downloads database? Thanks, Evan

Hi there, Is it possible to add a button to a text block (using the rich text WYSIWYG editor or other)? By that I mean one of the standard system buttons to make it stand out from the text and look like the rest of the site. Thanks.

I'm developing a site which will provide resources and community for people working in churches. As such it would be great if I could offer a church membership package which somehow allows for multiple users from within that church, all under one single subscription. For example, Bill is the church administrator and signs up for a subscription. But then the minister, the church elder, and the youthworker all also want to sign in and join the community and download the resources. I can't imagine they'll be happy to all be paying their own subscriptions when in reality they are all just using the same set of resources once in their own church. It would be much better if once Bill has signed up the others could be granted access in their own names, but hanging under Bills live subscription. When Bill's subscription ends, the rest of the team lose access too ... unless one of them pays a new subscription. OR ... allow a membership as a team, and the subscription is paid as a "Team Membership", then when someone logs in to the Team account they can create new members linked to that team. The important thing is that only one sub is being paid, and while it is live the team all have their own individual accounts and access, and when the sub ends everyone on the team loses access until the sub is paid again.

There's around 40,000 churches in the UK!! 😉

Thanks Marc - really appreciate your swift responses to my couple of questions. Thank you. I had looked at Clubs and wondered how to use them fruitfully. Truth is I want the community to be creating the content largely, OR driving the content creation (which I'll be doing the lions share of personally) through conversations highlighting what people are needing at any given moment. So the centrality of the whole organic community is crucial to this project. Sidelining church team members into their own private Club space might have a purpose, but if that's all they can see and do on the site then I don't think that's going to work to achieve the overall aim of the site unfortunately. I'll see if I can work out how to make a suggestion of this for you guys to consider. The gift card idea isn't a bad one though, but it might become a bit of a nightmare to keep track of given that Bill could sign up in March and Joan might get a gift card in August ... Bill's subscription then runs out but Joan is still a member for months and months later. Can't even begin to imagine the nightmare of keeping track of everyone. Another thought is to offer expiry dated voucher codes which can be used multiple times with each sign up. So Bill signs up and in the email he has a voucher code saying "Use this voucher code for up to 5 members of your church team to gain free access within the next 14 days". Is that doable?

Hi there, I'm setting up a resource and support site for people working in churches in the UK. I'm going to be selling subscriptions for people to become members and access the content on the site. Scenario: A church has a staff team of 5 people. Bill, the church administrator, pays for a subscription for him to be able to access the site and the resources on it. The rest of the team want to be able to access it too from time to time. Is there a way for me to set things up so that the 4 team members can each get logins, but only Bill is paying for a live subscription? And when Bill's subscription ends, if he doesn't renew, then the whole team automatically lose access as well? I'm assuming this isn't possible. Essentially thought I don't want to be penalising church teams by making them pay 5x over when they're all working together at the same church. Any thoughts on a solution to this conundrum? Thanks.

Haha - thank you both. Yes, Randy - that's what I'm seeing too ... but only when you go deeper into the Events pathway. At the homepage itself for Events I can't see how it's possible to do this. Right now what I'm doing is navigating to the area where I CAN choose an individual calendar, selecting it, copying the url for that new page, then going back to the events homepage and editing a block I've made to create a link for the calendar in question ... then repeating for all calendars so on the homepage I've got a block with the links to each of the calendars. It's messy and far from ideal. But it kind of works. Marc - thank you - I look forward to an improvement on this as soon as you folks are able. Hopefully not a major overhaul but rather a missed opportunity to make it better relatively easily. While we're talking about additions ... I can't see how to select the colour for a specific calendar link. I think IPB is doing that for me randomly assigning colours. If I could select my own colour for a specific calendar that would be ace!

Hi there Just setting up my new site. One of the features which is important for the site I'm working on is a collation of various iCal feeds into the Events/Calendar. However, as such the default view of it is VERY busy already. If you click on a particular event you can then click on the calendar feed it's from and further use the drop down option in the top left to filter to just that calendar. However, on the home page for the Events/Calendar the only filtering possible is to choose a date range. Any idea how I could offer users a choice of which calendars to view on the homepage of the Calendar please? It would be really helpful. Thanks.
