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.

Is possible just assign a language for a group member, then another language for another group mebmers. Then each group only can see or use the language assigned. Group member of Spanish will don´t need to know or see the website is available for english language users, group member of enlish don´t need to know or see the website is available for spanish language users. If a group member is assigned with 2 languages, then they can see the language toggle option.

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…

Hi all, I'm trying to find group permission settings for forums and blogs in Clubs. Specifically, I only want members to be able to comment, without permission to post a new blog topic or forum thread. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

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

Hello there, I am planning on upgrading an already established community of over 4m users, 30m posts, 15gb DB from IPB3 to the latest version. The current plan is move db to test environment, run upgrade to IPS4 and then start upgrading apps/plugins and everything. However the main site will still be running on IPB3 until that process is done. My current concern is about transferring over the database after the IPS4 is ready. What do you think would be the best course of action to achieve? My idea would be to get everything done on the test environment and when the time is right, we will try to merge the IPB3 database with the "newly" made one that s…

Hi, I've recently created another database with articles directly stored in the database without categories. I can't find the setting that enables reactions, so the articles and comments in this database don't have any reactions showing. In another (older) database the articles have reactions enabled. Many thanks, Alexander
