So I have a dedicated server, sure there are other people that I host but I've been trying to figure out why my server always feels so bogged down and it felt like it was slowly getting worse. Well I sat on my server's processes page to find out that tasks.php was taking up significant amounts of my ram and processor. And not bad right? But it wasn't just 1 tasks.php that was running for my forum. Since it runs every minute I have about 20 of these processes running for my site alone taking up 70+% processing time. What I did to see if this was a problem is I terminated all processes started by my sites account. Low and behold my site went from loading forever to a m…

I've got my forum setup on a subdomain of "forums" and I've got my main site integrated with IPS. It all works locally, but when I've gone to do it for real, the cookie from the forum is not setting accross the whole domain. Does anyone have any idea how to achieve this? I've added this to my constants.php file, but it's not recognising it off the forums subdomain: <?php define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.strongholdnation.co.uk' ); define( 'COOKIE_PREFIX', '' ); define( 'COOKIE_PATH', '/' ); P.S. Both parts are using SSL also.

I have different groups which allow/restrict access to different parts of my community. Is there any way to set what a member will first see when they log in, based on what group they're in? For example, if I set my default application to the forum, but one group doesn't have access to the forum, they log in and the first thing they see is an error message telling them they can't access this page. Is there a way to have that group see something else by default that they do have access to? Even being able to set the default application to Pages and then choosing a different page for each group would be perfectly fine, but I don't think it's possible. …

I was playing around with some YouTube embedding and locked up my home page Page Builder and now I cannot edit blocks. I assume this is because of the code I entered or a script that it calls and only affects the Home page I inserted it into as I can edit all other pages normally. There has to be a way to either turn off the page builder or manually edit the page. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to add a new OAuth2 login handler using Auth0. The first time I sign in using Auth0, it either creates a new account, or links connected accounts. This works fine. The problem I'm experiencing is when I try to sign in for a second time. Upon being redirected back to my Invision Community, I get an error message saying that the email has already been taken. "error": { "message": "{\"errors\":{\"email\":[\"has already been taken\"]}}", "oauthError": "access_denied", "type": "oauth-authorization" }, For reference, we have two login methods active: Standard and Auth0. This error happens for both pre-existing and newly crea…

I have a few of these groups promotion rules in place but I've never done a time-based one. Now I'd need to do the following: Members who belong to primary group A, with a post count of 100 and who have posted in the last week, get a secondary group assigned. Those same members must lose the secondary group when they haven't posted in the last week. (And they recover it when they post and so on) So, is it correct to think that I need 2 separate rules? One assigns the secondary group to members of primary group A with a post count of 100 and who have posted in the last week (or 7 days). The other, removes the secondary group to members who haven't …

I have two simple questions about advertisements. How are the advertisements sorted in the Advertisements screen in the admin page? They don't seem to be in any real order. You can choose a sort order, but every time the page reloads, that's gone, and the ads appear to be in no discernible order. It's not by any of the columns, it's not by the database row ID, etc. How are they sorted? Can this be manipulated so that they show up in a certain order all the time (when a column header isn't selected)? I found the titles of the ads in core_sys_lang_words, but there are also eight older ads (the titles for them) that I'm no longer using still there. Can those rows…

I have a user who asked for their username to be changed as their registration name gave away too much personal info. I did so, but I understand there is an issue whereby the old name still shows up in previous threads where that user was quoted and cannot be directly edited. Is there any way to rebuild a topic so that the quotes use the newer updated username?

Hey there. I am trying to manually include the {$unsubscribe} tag in my email wrapper. However, it produces the following HTML that literally gets included in the email sent: <tr> <td dir='{dir}' valign="top"><img src='https://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/applications/core/interface/email/spacer.png' width='1' height='1' alt=''></td> <td dir='{dir}' valign='middle' align='center' style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; padding-left: 10px;"> <a href="https://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/index.php?/unsubscribe/&email=breatheheavydotcom@gmail.com&key=534b1f0f184a76b0a9ed…

Does the new `downloads/files/{id}/download` endpoint work with S3 storage? Currently any files uploaded to Downloads that are stored in S3 need an access token created before it can be downloaded by a user. The existing endpoint `GET downloads/files/{id}` does not provide a proper URL to download from as S3 gives "AccessDenied". Will the new endpoint provide a proper URL to actually be able to download the file from?

I've reduced .ipsDataItem on previous versions as its been far too big on mobile. I did it by doing this .ipsDataItem { padding: 13px 10px 13px 10px; } I noticed on 4.5 I can't do this anymore, but now as the spacing is way too big on desktop as well now I will need to do the same. How do I do it? I assume its the padding in this, but what does the var var(--sp-3); mean. The previous code above made much more sense .ipsDataItem_main, .ipsDataItem_stats, .ipsDataItem_lastPoster, .ipsDataItem_generic, .ipsDataItem_modCheck, .ipsDataItem_icon { display: table-cell; padding: 18px var(--sp-3); vertical-align: middle; }

Hello, Is it possible to have an <if> code in my template to stop showing ads after a user has been say, 5 posts in a day, then after 2359 it resets and the adverts are shown again until he's made another 5 posts for that day? I'm just thinking of reducing the adverts shown to members. Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I do not know if I am writing correctly here, if not, please postpone it. I bought a flip countdown from Codecanyon, I would like to display it in the forum. This script has 2 CSS and 3 JS files. I uploaded the 3 JS files into a folder called js on the server in the root directory of my forum. Then I have the JS files under SITE PROMOTION / Analytics under Other with Custom tracking code <script src = "http: // My URL / js / jquery-3.4.1.min.js"> </script> <script src = "http: // My URL / js / flipclock.min.js"> </script> <script src = "http: // My URL / js / flip-time.js"> </script> Registered.

Hi, Every day I get some IP¨address who try lot of things like that : I think it will be good if we can configure some filter. If any address IP get more than 10 error code in 1 minute, she had to be ban directly for 1 week or something like that. I know there is CDN who can help for that, but I think it will be good to have it on IPB.

I have a rule set to send a private message when someone joins my forums. But I was hoping to also be able to send a pm when that person has their group changed. So when they are added the new group tag, they will get a separate private message. I would only want them to receive this once though, so I can't just send it to everyone in that group over and over. Is this possible? Thanks!
