Hi, anyone have any advice for mass assigning tags to topics and setting them as prefixes? For example: Sub-Forum discussing the topic Red. Move all topics to a parent forum called 'Colours' and any topic that was in the sub-forum to be tagged as 'Red.'

Is it actually possible within the 'full fat' IPS Community suite, to create a basic RSS feed of Topics (new/recent/latest), without it including the post content or without the need for a Marketplace plugin? This seems a simple task and I'm almost embarrassed to ask, custom RSS feature insists on bloating the topic feed with post content. I also noticed it passes RSS feed validation at W3C but it mentions GUID tags are missing. I'll also tried making a custom Activity Stream for its RSS feed and fiddled with Pages. Many thanks.

In ACP I can create only categories for Gallery but I cannot find any section where I could see album list and manage it. I need something like for blogs, where I can see list of blogs, but Gallery does not have any.

Hi everybody, i try to set up some responsive css parts, but it doesn't work as it should or i want. I would give some boxes a different height/width on medium and small screens. So i take this: @media (max-width: 375px) { [data-pageModule="movies"] .ipsList_inline .ipsGrid_span3.profilePath { height: 325px; max-height: 325px; } } @media (max-width: 979px) { [data-pageModule="movies"] .ipsList_inline .ipsGrid_span3.profilePath { height: 220px; } } But it doesn't work on small screens with max-width: 375px, it always take the large screen. Is there something wrong? I thought for screens with max-width 375px take the first one and for big…

Looking for some ideas... I would like to bring over an old vBulletin 3.x forum and merge all the members and content in to an existing Invision Community. Essentially bringing over the existing forums, posts and members. There will be cases where members on the target website already exist as they were members of both sites. How would you suggest I approach this?

Apologies that I am not aware of all that happened between 3.4.8 and 4.4, but I'm here now. Had a few members ask me about post numbers, as they like to point out a specific post. Researching told me that post numbering was done away with, correct? It would require a plugin to get that working. A few other posts referred to using the "share post" function to link to a specific post, not thread. But I cannot find the share post icon either. So instead I wanted to confirm here that indeed, there is no post numbers anymore, and has share post also gone or do I need to enable it somewhere. And is there still no easy way to point to a specific post? Thanks all.

Hi all, I have just purchased the pages application addon for my forum, I have updated the license on my admin CP but can't seem to find it in my applications do I need to install it or does it automatically install? I've been sent no instructions. Side note, it would be good to have instructions sent when yo do purchase addons. Can anyone offer any advice, Thanks, Dean.

I've tried to setup Facebook login for my IPS forum and honestly, I don't really know what to say other than imagine my shock, Facebook have made things incredibly complicated yet again for no apparent reason. All of the IPS end is configured correctly. I haven't really got a clue what I'm doing with the Facebook developer app end, what I'm really looking for and how to get this thing approved. I've followed the IPS tutorial guide and ALL I want is to have the login. No status updates, publishing posts or anything else. Literally just the login. I've tested this on my own account, and it appears to be working. But I don't know whether it works on any other accou…

So I have recently taken over a forum as webmaster as the old one has just disappeared on us, Not got a lot of experience with forum software etc so please bear with me. On the admin CP it recommends updating the character set from UTF8MB4 to a different version of UTF8. I set that upgrade going last night and after a few minutes it looked like it got stuck. I left it so I wouldn't break anything and it come up with a 500 error. Sorry I didnt save the exact error for some reason. Closed the browser and reopened the forum and all was still fine up the upgrade was still recommended so had failed. I logged on to the back end I noticed that a lot of things were out of date …

If the browser supports autofill / autocomplete (e.g. Chrome), text fields can be filled with the suggestions given. Suggestions are usually based ob previous entries. This is very practical if forms have to be filled in with repeating information. I use this feature when adding records to my pages database. However, the autofill feature does not work when using fields of type "textarea". I suspect this functionality is not supported by Invision Commmunity Software. This might also be the reason why third party browser add-ons I've tested, did not do the trick. Does anyone know what could be done to make textarea fields used e.g. in a pages database, to be avai…

Hello, I have few blocks at the main forum page. For some reasons, some members see those blocks at the bottom of the page. Only members in admin and moderator groups see the block properly (on the right side). I did not change anything recently, before all members were seeing the blocks on the right side like admins. Any feedback what could cause the issue?
