Hello all, This is what happened: 1. I initiated the upgrade of my Community from IPS v4.4.10 to the latest version of IPS 4.5.4.2 2. During the upgrade process, I received the warning that my PHP 7.2.x was deprecated and I would need to upgrade to 7.3.x+ 3. I continued with the upgrade process and everything went well. 4. Website was upgraded to IPS 4.5.4.2 while still running PHP 7.2.x and everything was working well. 5. I upgraded PHP to 7.3 on my server and applied it to my site. 6.

Hey guys, On my site I have premium subscriptions that members can purchase. I am looking to introduce a "midway" upgrade fee so that users who have already purchased Premium Gold, for a nominal fee can upgrade to the Premium Platinum status. I thought this would be easy just by adding a new "Gold to Premium Upgrade" subscription. However the issue I have is that I cannot see a way to lockdown the purchase of the proposed new subscription so that it will only work for those who have already purchased Premium Gold. Otherwise, if I add this as a standard subscription, everyone will "Cheat" and just pay the nominal upgrade fee to get to Premium Platinum as opposed…

We're getting ready for a big product launch and I do have partners willing to give the referrals system a try. When I view the referrals page in my account, does a "referral" include people who created an account but have not bought anything yet? How exactly are referrals tracked? If a new user clicks a referral link and visits the site for the first time, leaves, and comes back later without the referral link, does a cookie remember them and count their account as a referral when do finally finally create an account? Or must they sign up right away? Will ad blockers or privacy-enhanced browsers like Brave bypass this system? I am not expecting 100% tra…

So, just gone through the most recent security update (v4.5.4.1) and all quotes are displaying without the html being parsed (as attached). If I edit the post, it displays correctly during the edit, but reverts to the html output on save. Any ideas? Chris

Last week we shifted to new cpanel server and were unable to post or edit any topic. Support helped us to identify that we need to switch off mod_security to post again. Wondering to know what is the actual requirement of IPS than switching off mod_security completely. Appreciate if someone knows the right config to add/edit in mod security so we can switch it on safely please? Thanks in advance.

Hi, How do I go about enabling users to edit topics for 5 minutes, whilst allowing them to edit gallery images etc, indefinitely. Unless I've missed something, the edit time restriction applies to all content types. See below. Thanks.

I have purchased three themes and still can't figure out how to repeat an image (vertically) as a background. See the image below. The green bar is what I achieved by adding the follow to my custom.css I would like is to extend the image down the entire page as shown in the red bar. The white horizontal rectangle in the image (Work at Home...) should remain the same color. I am very new at CSS, but hope to contribute to the forum with pages and database knowledge. 🙂

Hi all, I have a huge problem. Yesterday I enabled attachments of images only in System->Posting in the AdminCP. I then enabled Can upload attachments, unlimited size for each member group. This morning, a member posted an image saying they can't post text anymore. When I click "reply" and type some text then "submit reply" I get an error "this field is required". If I post only an attachment then it will work. I have reproduced this both on Desktop Chrome, Internet Explorer and mobile Chrome. This problem also plagues the technical support request option in the AdminCP. I am completely unable to submit the request because "this field is required". I tri…

Hey guys, We have a competitor that uses the Invision Community as a forum. And it has an interesting form of navigation. When a "guest" is browsing, accessing the pages of the forum, after a certain time (for example, after accessing so many contents or pages), a message appears that for him to continue accessing, he needs to register or login. How do I do this on my forum? Like this image: Thanks 🙂

Hey guys, I was migrating a group of people with the same email domain to a new group within my admin, and I forgot to exclude some people who had that email domain from this migration and ended up losing access to the administrative panel. (my email was in that migration group) I know it was an amateur mistake, but does anyone know how I can fix it? I have already contacted Invision support, but it is taking too long and I need to fix it urgently.

Hello, I have read the REST API documentation here: https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=core/members/POSTitem I am trying to update a custom field value, but cannot fathom the syntax for the customFields value. The docs state: customFields object Array of custom fields as fieldId => fieldValue but can someone please provide an example? Let's say I have a custom field number 10, and I want to set it's value to "XYZ123" what should I be posting in the customFields value? I tried [{'fieldId':'10','fieldValue':'XYZ123'}] but the field value didn't update. Any ideas?

Hey Guys, I run a large download based site. I'm offloading my downloads, attachments, etc to an Amazon S3 bucket. I've set it all up and it's started the background process of moving everything. There is currently over 700gb of files that's going to be moved to the S3. Is there anything I can do to speed up this process? Can I manually transfer the folders via FTP from the site to the S3 then have Invision do it's thing to re-index everything? Or do I just need to let it go? At this rate it's going to take over a week to move the files. Thanks
