Is there a block that shows a list of members who posted in a topic (obviously on the topic where the block is placed)? Or can one be made using the custom blocks? I looked through all the available blocks and found many many blocks the show all kinds of member lists, couldn't see anything like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was just wondering if the fine Invision folks could tell me/us if you plan to introduce the ability to create Donation projects which accept more than one currency? Great idea, but if you're appealing to the good wishes of people across the globe, they tend to want to pay in their own currency and not be slapped with extra conversion fees, so it would be cool if people could choose their currency.

Hello, 🙂 Is there a mobile app for IPB ? I suppose there is one because I looked at the menu in the APC and saw a Mobile App section. But what are the steps to configure and use this app ? Thank you. 🙂

I'm looking to purchase a new self hosted licence and was wondering if it's possible to move apps from one license to another? I already have my site up and it's pretty much the way I want it, but I don't use the forums, I would like to purchase the core and pages but don't want to go to the expense of buying forums when I already have that app in another license, so can apps be moved from one license to another? I really don't want to have to dismantle what I have built to change licenses - or can this be done via the license numbers? With thanks 🙂

A little confused. I created a customized theme. How come I cannot see the stock CSS files? None are there. Note that the </> does not appear next to the customized theme. All I see is my custom CSS file. Hmm. Help? Thanks all.

Hello, On the community forum I assist with managing, we have a few sections where only all threads are private besides the one the user posted. Admins want to be able to tag a user attached to, for example a complaint, for their viewpoint/statement on the matter at hand. Is there a way to do that within IPS while keeping the forum section private? We have these sections to limit community involvement and input when these complaints and such are put out while we investigate. Anything helps and thank you for assisting, Hashbrown

I have set our picks page as my start page. I have entered in AdminCP (Search Engine Optimization -> Meta Tags) a custom Page Title for the start page. It is ignored. The page title is still Our Picks. For all other pages the page title works. Why it does not work for the Our Picks?

In my custom php block I am simply trying to include a php file and echo a variable from the external file like this: But I include the path I get errors, see attached. If I don't include a full pth and simply say include (test.php); then there is no output from the variable. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Hi guys - Anyone have the code to target just items on the activity stream page? I'm guessing it will be similar to the code that targets just the forums page such as: body[data-pageapp=forums] Thanks for any guidance here. Chad

My forums h1 tags simply say topics. See the attached screenshot. IS there a way to display the actual forum name in h1 instead of simply saying topics? I see that invisioncommunity.com does it as it appears in the second screenshot. Thank you.

Our team is trying to set up Single Sign On (SSO) between WordPress LearnDash and Invision Community. We hired the Invision team to create the SSO, which they said they did. However it is not working and we are not able to get an answer on why from Support. HAS ANYONE HAD INVISION SUCCESSFULLY SET UP SSO FOR THEM? Maybe someone in this community can help a resolution. Here is a video explaining how the site is not working and how we would like it to work - https://app.box.com/s/5ceoy2byf2yp36f268zeicok5foo7bfs We know that our example site uses a WordPress plug-in to accomplish SSO. We have been in other sites that do not use the WordPress plug-in and do…

Ive been scanning around while signed in as a normal member in the fourms, I've looked around the ACP To find the permissions for users to delete their own uploads, I even found this post where someone is encountering the same issue Is this still part of IPS4? Why are users not able to delete their own image & why are there no permissions for this available? If Im wrong please point me the right way, If not, Please make this a thing!

I thought there was a setting in the Admin Panel to have all linked (remote) images posted to be saved locally. I can no longer find that setting. Has it been removed or renamed?

We have some folks who are trying to get their files to our Top Downloads. (They are themes, so it's a form of advertising for them...) They are downloading the same file over and over to do it. Would you please make it so it only counts a download from a single IP once (for each revision)? That'd fix this almost entirely. (Right now I'm using a cron script to update the count daily, but having this built in would be handy, to me and others.) Thank you! James

Hello! I'm not sure of the proper term for this, so I apologise. Is there a way to move this below into its own row / container so I can have a full width banner on my forum? Its a real pain, I've search and found you can move the Search bar but nothing about the actual side bar(if thats the right word). Picture below :). I realise this may not be supported by Invision but its badly something I'd like to move out the way of a full width banner. Thanks for any help.
