When viewing search results, the thumbnail preview for gallery items are now much smaller after upgrading to 4.5. The thumbnail file itself (e.g. if I click 'open image in new tab' on the thumbnail) hasn't changed size, but thumbnail images are being displayed at a smaller size in search results. I was wondering if anybody could please point me in the right direction of what code to look for to change the default/maximum width of thumbnails in search results. Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to build something but I need it to use the forum's credentials for users. Per eg use the username/pwd used in the forum to authenticate on my app. How can this be achieved? I can't find anything about it on the API and I can't understand how oauth works exactly. Thanks in advance

Dear Invision Community, Due to our external identity management, we are using an "Other OAuth 2.0" Method as an identity provider. So far everything is fine. Now we would like to map custom parameters from our identity management to custom fields in Invision Community. For example: Name of field: "Country" Input: "Germany" or "United Kingdom" This filed should be updated every time a user sign in. Is it possible to get this implement? Is there a documented way or is it a customization? Thank you!

Over the years I've had a CMS(Pages) block that generates a JPG of last 40 avatars posting to site. I've used a PHP block that regenerates based on the age of the saved temporary file as it involves a lot of fetching of avatar files each time it runs. Originally I could also have set the cache time of the block really long and just rerun, but no longer... The file was generated using PHP GD as imagejpeg($destimg,filepath); All this on hosted services. Years ago there was access to the directory structure and I just picked a place for the temp file. Then I had to change to using a file in "uploads" directory as hosted no longer had access to the directo…

I am getting ready to release a new product and I want to build sales on our own website outside of Steam. I am looking into the IPB license keys system but I can't find any information on it. There are two options, standard and MD5. The IPB documentation just says this: I assume the generated keys are using some kind of standard system, but there is no input for a private key or anything like that. How does my C++ application validate a license key? If this requires connection to the REST API, what is the point of using keys? You could just have the user enter their name and password, and check to make sure they purchased the item?

All my themes have missing images in them, and in some cases no images at all in the upload/set_resources folders at all. From what I can see, the core is deleting these images during tasks. Is there anyway to restore the missing default theme resource images?

What is the best way to handle Google Adsense CLS? I'm fighting to keep my ads the way they are laid out but the Content Layout Shift is greater than 0.25. How can I give space for the Ads with out making padded space too big for mobile or too small for desktop or just making a mess out of the layout. I did find some google code in the CSS side but it doesn't seem to be working possibly being my layout shift is too high yet. This is under Core > Global > global.css /* GOOGLE AD CODE FOR RESPONSIVE ADS */ #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 320px; height: 100px; } @media (min-width:500px) { #ipsLayout_mainArea .adsbygoogle { width: 468px; height: 60px…

Hello! Invision community! I have a simple question. How can I do when users do searches in the search box at the top right where the magnifying glass is displayed. The searches also show the clubs that community members publish. Since I have a large community where clubs are published every day, many enter to do a search, the results are not shown. I look forward to a hug to all

Hello, Community Because my community receives more visits worldwide every day we have detected some users creating multiple accounts to bypass IP blocks, or emails but they change IP or use VPN Is there some possibility to block users by the device's unique identifier UUID. As it is carried out in pc or mobile games where once blocked it does not allow you to create more accounts. They only have to change equipment for a new one. I have been using these forums for years and they are the best good moderation measures to prevent spam and registration rules but this feature that I ask for would be a great option. I am waiting if someone can help me or see some complement…

Hello there! Have a simple question (or rather, i'm hoping it's an easy fix) - i'd like to hide the number of views that is shown in the home/template/index page of the articles section. Is there a simple 'show/hide' toggle or would i have to go into the template and edit it manually? Appreciate any input, thank you! Example - Where it shows "1 view" below:

Good day, I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the background gray gradient that is placed on every grid image placeholder. I've contacted IPS support and they told me that it cannot be changed with a setting, and I would need to edit my template. See attachment. It always places a gray gradient on all grid images. Anyone knows how to remove the gradient from the template but unaffected by future IPS updates? Thanks a lot

Hello everyone, I was wondering whether it is possible to place the description field of a forum discussion at the top of a post included in that discussion category. There will be many different discussion categories. The description explains what it is about, however, when we are inside the different posts inside the discussion category, the description is not shown. You can see an example of what I am trying to explain in the screenshot attached. Can description 1 be shown under the channel name when we are inside the category? 1 shown at 2. Is there a way to do that or create a plugin that sort of allows me to do that? Thanks a lot

Currently running a Wordpress site for our podcast that creates the rss feed for iTunes to pick up. The actual mp3's are hosting through a podcasting host so I won't be changing that. What I would like to find out if IPB can be capable to take over for the rss feed creation for podcasts? If not I would just keep the Wordpress and have IPB be the community aspect. Eventually I'm wanting to have everything under IPB and have different podcast shows set up as clubs within IPB.
