I've been fighting with this for the last two days. I haven't POSTED since the early 2000s and I'm sure the solution is obvious, so I'm asking for help. I'm trying to post a record to a custom database. My URI is https://my.site/api/cms/records/10 The documentation states "Field values. Keys should be the field ID, and the value should be the value. For fields of the Upload type, the type of the value must also be an object itself, with each key set as the filename and the value set as the raw file contents" For the field key, I've tried the field number ("22"), the field name ("Parse Time") and the template key ("titlefield_10"). I always get the error …

I just have a simple question. Guests go click on subscriptions and it creates an invoice that is pending with absolutely no contact information. I click 'cancel' since if I click on 'delete' I get a warning message to cancel before I delete, so I do that, cancel then delete. What is the issue if I just delete and not cancel? And is there anyway to reduce the number of these bogus guest subscriptions that do nothing but take up time to delete? Any ideas?

We just upgraded to Version 4.6.12.1 from 3.3.4. Most things are working good except for one thing -- the disk space on our server had exploded from 40GB for the old board to now 80GB. We just watched the disk capacity rise from 73GB to 80GB in the span of 12 hours, filling up our 80GB drive and crashing the board. We cleared a little space and restarted the board, but we're seeing a steady rise again. From 95% capacity to 97% in just three hours. We do not allow content uploading on the board except for profile pictures, most of which were imported from the old board. Obviously a message board shouldn't need that much disk space. Where is all this content comi…

Good day, I am having a problem with the primary and secondary groups. Maybe I am doing things wrong, but I am trying to understand it. I just had a member who had purchased product A and was moved to the primary group A. A member rarely buys a second membership, but he did. So the purchase moved the member to user group B and removed access to primary group A. What do I do when I have several products that move users to a different primary group? Usually, members will purchase a single product, so I use the primary group. A member rarely buys a different second group without cancelling the first product. This is the problem I am having: The…

We recently installed the Google Review widget in a few places and it's showing all text underlined. Reported to the developer and he is saying that it's coming from an IPS style setting. Please help. https://carnity.com/desert-driving-course Scroll down and two widgets both show underline text. I tested one of the old pages without any formatting it's working fine. https://carnity.com/join_old

I have a few products that has made several thousand sales. When I am trying to update it, so it would update all existing purchases with a new user goup.. It seems like it only does the first 15 000 members, after that it seems to change 1 every 10-15 second, which makes it really slow and unusable. Could this be fixed?

Hi, I am having issues since ugrading to 4.6.12.1. When posting new messages sometimes it's instant, sometimes it takes somewhere from 5 to 16 seconds. Since I also upgraded the OS (Debian 11 bullseye, as I do every month) I can not be 100% sure it's the Invision community upgrade. I have checked all /var/log/* for errors, enabled the mysql slow query log, but nothing suspicious. Anobody having similar issues, or maybe someone has some pointers on what to check next? Cheers, Michel

So the last two recent updates have, for me, required an updated custom theme. The problem is that it cripples my site completely every time this happens - homepage is screwed and I can't log in to my adminCP - the login page only shows EX0 Something went wrong. Please try again. This is extremely irritating and I really wish there were a safeguard of some kind to revert to the default theme so that admins can log in and upload updated custom themes. Don't know if this is possible, but in the meantime is there a way I can FTP to my site and tweak some details to at least switch the theme that way?

We've created a number of challenges for our members which result in certain points being allocated upon completion. Is there an option to create a custom leaderboard based on certain criteria? This could be managed manually even.

Hello Team, I had to move my forum and website from an old server to a new server, this new server has php8.0. When I try to reach the admin pages, just after login, the following error appears : Fatal error: Cannot use "parent" when current class scope has no parent in /var/www/xxxxxxxxxxx/public/system/Theme/Theme.php(2632) : eval()'d code on line 27 I tested with php8.1 and now back to php8.0 Thanks for your help. Best regards, Nicoolas Note : I used the ips4 and all extensions are installed, but the problem remains.

Sorry about all the questions — now that a jotform → IPS post trigger is basically working I'm trying to make some display improvements in the posted topic. I'm trying to get the simplest form input type on the jotform side that will translate line breaks to the created post on the IPS side. Textarea: mapping the form textarea to post content strips out all line breaks in the post. Back to testing basic textarea. This is on a separate line as textarea input, with zap formatting yields The jotform submission log and notification emails preserve the line breaks as entered. I feel like I need a "|raw" somewhere 🙂 TinyMCE: test su…

Hello, I have problem with default search option. Maybe someone have an idea what it might be and how to fix it?

Hello, I have noticed a little bug in the "Table Properties" window when you click on a table in the editor and then select "Table Properties" using the "Table" ckeditor plugin: https://ckeditor.com/cke4/addon/table This is what I get: As you see the "Headers" and "Alignment" options are not aligned ("None and "<not set>"). This happens with Firefox, but I guess it would be the same with other browsers. Is it possible to fix that? Thank you in advance!

I recently eliminated using a sub-domain to server my site's images, JS, CSS, etc., and under the Storage Settings I went back to this: /home/celiac/public_html/uploads from this: https://sfd.celiac.com/home/celiac/public_html/uploads All of my newer (what are non-custom emojis--I believe the "custom" ones are the originals from many years ago, but am not sure, as I never created a custom emoji, yet a dozen or more now exist in my 15 year old forum) emojis post just fine, and all new and old seem to display fine, however, when you post a custom one, that is one of the older emojis that are defined, it is simply posting the old subdomain URL into the post,…

Good morning, I was recently making changes to some member groups. I have a group named Newbie and and when a new registration is attempted they get a registration email and when you click the link it does take you to the site however. Only shows the site advertisement, menu but no matter the link clicked in the menu it always goes to the STORE. This happens even if I manually create an account. Old members in that group still access the site like normal no changes. I have a rule for default account going to newbie group and after they post 1 message it changes them to Member +
