I don't see a way to add an empty sidebox that I could drop some advertisement code or an image into?  Didn't there used to be an HTML box available in the Manage Blocks menu?

Is there anyway to show an advertisement banner after the first post or topic but only in ONE subforum?  I want to show an ad banner just in my classified forum section not in any other forums!  I can't see a way to do it with the built in advertisement system??

The errors were there before changing to 8.2 judging by the log dates.  The other errors can be seen in the screen shot I attached to the OP.

Which chatbox version you have installed?

Did you tried PHP 8.1 instead?

Chatbox FREE by OnlyMe

Hey guys...I just upgraded my forum to php8.2 and I did some maintenance on the php extensions, etc...I was also checking in to an excessive reoccurring error in my error logs, but how do I fix it?  There are also a couple others showing up as well.  Can I get some assistance in fixing these up?

I was impatient and just uploaded all of the files...it took about 40 minutes but everything worked well!  I have installed the app and already have it set up!   Thanks for the help!

Yes, you can do those. 

Have a look at the help guides here, which will give you a better idea

Ok, thank you!  I am going to grab it!

Can I install Commerce as an addon or do I need to do a manual upgrade of the whole community package?

Hi guys!  If I add the Commerce package to my forum, will it give me the ability to offer subscriptions to members as well as donations?  Also, when a subscription is purchased, does the system automatically upgrade the member's account and log Paypal payments?  I'm using Michael's Subscriptions addon now but it is not working as expected...

You will want to go to ACP -> System -> Advanced Configuration -> Friendly URLs -> revert any for Calendar. Likely you had some and when we changed to Events, these were not updated.

That worked...not sure when it changed but calendar isn't overly active on my site ...I just noticed it today!  Thanks for the assist!

My calendar seems to have disappeared!  The menu link is still there but the page just says:
"The page you requested does not exist "

Setting all look god, what am I missing?

Thanks again for the helpful info!  I appreciate it and I am going to try that plugin for sure!

I switched on new member moderation because my forum is getting pounded with new member spam attacks!  They register and proceed to hammer us with up to 50 or more posts about budget airfare!  It's been going on for 3 days now. 

My question is, where can my moderator staff go to approve or ban new member registrations?  Or is it only admin approval?  Sorry for a newb question but in over 10 years of IPB, I have never had to turn on new member mod!

Perfect, Thank you!

Where can I find the table that would hold data entered into a custom registration field?

Could I find the info I need in the database?  If so, under what table would I find a custom registration field titled "Mack Dealer Code or Corporate?"

Is there anyway to search for all members that entered data into a custom field at registration?  I know I can search for data but I need a list of everyone that entered data in the field and the data is too many variables to do a search on.

I'm getting hammered by new registrations that post 50 or more posts in seconds after they register!  It's all airline related air fare posts.  I've flagged over 8 pages of new members so far!  I changed my challenge questions to something a little harder and it slowed them down.

Is there any easy ways to add a link-able page to my forums without buying pages?  I literately just need 1 page to list some advertising rates on an that's it!  I hate to pay $150 plus an extra $20 per month just for that!  I could even build a page in a directory if I had to but I don't know how to make it look like a forum page.  Thanks in advance!

Yeah still nothing...looks like his applications are dead in the water!  I guess I will remove Donations from my ACP so I can lose the big red PHP warning banner!

Hey guys...Is Michael still around?  I am getting a warning that this app is not compatible with PHP 8.0.  I wonder if there is a simple patch or upgrade coming?

Ah, OK!  Thanks guys...that does make sense!

I can look at the Marketplace here (on IPS) and see all the different aps and themes but when I try to view all of them from the left side nav bar, I only get 1 page with a handful of aps!  I don't see any settings or such...what am I doing wrong?

It might simply not have content to show. The old method to feed this widget is tags. So when there are no matching tags, nothing shows. 

Could be...I can't seem to get my members to use tags to save a life! 

I added a Similar Content box at the bottom of topics, right below the quick reply box...I can get it to show on the live forum!  Any ideas or secrets to get this working?  The box says "Cannot be displayed" but doesn't say why!

I just created a new regular discussion forum but I can't see it on the forum index!  What am I missing here?  I have double checked the settings and permissions and everything looks OK!  I am stumped!

Never mind!  I checked permissions one more time and clicked SAVE again...now it is showing on my index! 

Thank you, Adriano!
