We're seeing reports from blogs that are marked private and our moderators can't seem to figure out how to access them. We get a permission error when following the report. Is there a permission/setting that allows moderators to see/access private blogs?

A few days ago, the automatic embedding of videos from YouTube stopped working. Now when I copy the link, I get the following error message: But, if I manually set up a code (like the Forum automatically did until the other day)...for a specific video it would be this code: <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo" contenteditable="false"> <div> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oMDJI5_o0LI?feature=oembed" width="480"></iframe> </div> </div> ...everything then works ok: …

Hi guys, We are migrating a large forum from vBulletin to IPB. We've done plenty of testing and had some great support from the IPS team. Unfortunately, at the very last moment, we discovered a bit of a 'oh no' moment. The standard converter will not import PMs from vBulletin if they are replies only, i.e. not you don't have the original first message. The problem is that lots of users, back in the days of the vBulletin PM system, would only keep the last reply (to keep within their quota) or perhaps only keep an occasional reply if it had something useful in it. These types of messages disappear when we do the conversion as the IPB converter cannot re-create t…

hi, could you help me on making such a custom field in pages. that custom field would be for inputting the news source url of the original article that I've posted. I wish to simply paste the url in the custom field area and I want the output to be shown under the article on the next line with url truncated so only domain name remain for example. if full url is https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/497-peer-to-peer-technical-support/ then https://invisioncommunity.com/ would be shown, but when you click on the link it would take to the full url https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/497-peer-to-peer-technical-support/ ? For now I made a…

I've noticed that when I have tabs open on my 4.4.4 forum and they've been sitting open a while, they are prepended with a pause character at some point. Why is this necessary? I could see it happening on the All Activity page since that one is monitoring for new content, but the rest of the site? I see it on this site as well. Any insight would be appreciated. And it would be nice if I could disable this unless it's serving some useful purpose. Thank you, ..Al

After hours of try and error, I am still not able to integrate Google Maps. I follow this guide https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/community-enhancements/google-map-integration-r270/ Unfortunately IPS Admin area and Google area look both different, the screenshots in the guide seem to be outdated. Additionally there are different APIs named in the guide and in the GUI of IPS. In the guide we have: Google Maps Javascript API Google Static Map API Google Maps Embed API (only in guide, but not in ACP) Google Maps Geocoding API In IPS ACP we have: Maps Javascript API Maps Static API Geocoding API Places API (on…

Howdy folks, We've been running into an intermittent issue where people who are trying to upload files are running into a -200 error. Of course, Invision's documentation is less than helpful on this. I've managed to figure out it was something to do with PHP settings, but it seems to fix the problem temporarily and it starts creeping back up. I assume it's a timing out issue, but it's been popping up again even after upping the execution/input time prior to what I have now. At the moment, I have the following settings in place (as they seem to be working for now): PHP Version: 7.3.12 FPM Memory Limit: 8G Max Execution Time: 1200 seconds (overkill, …

Hey all.. I'm upgrading a server 4.x and am getting an exception thrown on the last step: /var/www/forums/system/File/File.php::180 The options are "Retry?" and "Continue". Neither button moves any further and redisplays the error. Line 180 in File.php is: if ( ! isset( static::$storageConfigurations[ $configurationId ] ) ) { throw new \RuntimeException; } Any ideas what I can do to start fresh with the install? Here's a screenshot of where I am in the process.

I used the conversions - moving from bbpress /wordpress to invision. The forums and topics were pulled, but none of the content inside of that. So the topic is shown, but when you click on the topic it gives you an error of content not there. Anyone have a suggestion for fixing this? Do I run the conversion again?

hello, problem is when you paste a youtube link, then the embedding magic happens and the cursor is placed on a line below the video - you paste another video in it and the videos stick to each other. while vimeo embeded videos do not and have a nice distance between them. When view these two posts and toggle their source code to see the they are similar and most importantly vimeo does not have < br > or < p > </ p > tags between the videos and they don't stick together. Any idea what could I do to make the same spacing happen on youtube embeds without having people manually hitting enter 2 times to make it happen?

The conversion for bbpress / wordpress doesn't pick up any images. Is there a way to import images into a specific gallery? Mass import as there are a lot of images, and uploading individually wouldn't be nice 😉 Suggestions on getting those images to the new invision community? thanks!

So I created a schedule database and have Date/Time field along with other details of the event. The time part is not behaving well at all. For instance I will put 12/15/2019 at 6:30pm and it shows 1:30pm when I go to the record. FYI I'm on the USA Eastern timezone. I have tried changing the settings to "Manually select a timezone" and "Use the viewing member's timezone" with nothing changing. I have even tried to edit the record and still nothing changes.

Then member use this Money Bag to realize purchase through the Commerce of ips.

After the upgrade to Invision Community v4.4.9 there seems to be an issue with the back and forward buttons not taking the user to the previous and next page. I have noticed that if 'Use AJAX pagination' is disabled within the theme settings then this works as expected. I seem to remember that there was an issue with HTTPS redirection ( Automatic HTTPS Rewrites Cloudflare setting?) that would cause AJAX pagination not to work, is this correct?
