Hi all, I currently add some custom fonts to our board using the custom css file in the theme manager. It works brilliantly, but the only issue is that to use these fonts users need to have HTML enabled so that they can refer to the custom font-family via code. Eg: <p style="font-family: 'CustomFont';">Some text</p> For security reasons I'd like to cut down on the number of users who can see/post in HTML - so I was wondering if there is a way to add this "CustomFont" in to the Font selector in the editor as shown below? I don't mind diving in to the PHP files if that is the only way to change this list, so please let me know if it…

Hi, I want to use Live Meta Tag Editor to set custom title tag (<title>) for one category. It works great, but there is no appendix with page number (like "Category Name - Page 2"). Is there any way to set custom title but with page number at the end?

I have a Dynamic Link that handles Login Information between my Website and Desktop Software which DON'T use the typical IPS API/Tokens. If the User isn't logged in, I redirect to the login page for them to login but my problem is, I then need to redirect back to this Uniquely Generated Link once they're logged in but I am not sure how to have IPS redirect me back to an external link after the login.

I'd like to set up series of emails (like for onboarding after someone joins up) but I'm not clear on how I can do this via Invision. Is it possible? If so, how? If not, how do you do this kind of thing? Thanks!

I have enabled "Post HTML" permissions for the Administrator user group but when I try and add a video in an iframe it only shows the text. Can anyone advise how to fix this. The iframe is <iframe allowfullscreen frameborder="0" width="698" height="573" scrolling="no" id="molvideoplayer" title="MailOnline Embed Player" src="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/embed/video/1200979.html"></iframe>

I don't appear to have the link in the Support page of the ACP to do the UTF8MB4 conversion, though I have seen this on screenshots of older versions.

I have this website that I migrated to IPB...except for the blog because I cannot get the friendly urls to work. In my old blog I have a post that sits at /blog/hedging/ (yeah that's a post). I copied that post and created it on my IPB blog which now sits at this endpoint: /blogs/entry/2-why-we-use-hedging-language-and-its-impact-on-our-writing/ In my ACP > Friendly URLs I added an entry from /blog/hedging/ to app=blog&module=blogs&controller=entry&id=2 but it is giving me a 404. If I take the normal url (app=blog&module=blogs&controller=entry&id=2) and paste it in the browser it works just fine so what's the catch here please?

I made a private blog and gave access to about 20 members. Then I went in to add someone else to the list and the entire list was gone and replaced with a single entry that said "456", which isn't a user on my forum. Apparently everyone lost access. Has anything like this ever happened to anyone else? And is there any way to keep a back up list in case it gets wiped again so I don't have to manually select a large list of usernames to give access? If I try entering a pasted list it simply adds the entire list as a single username. 🙁

Hello, I set an option to cross-post a database record as a forum topic . But the auto-posted topics are empty. No content, no excerpt, just a link View full article. Is that normal behaviour or have I missed something in settings?

Is there anyway to allow comments using users forum accounts on Wordpress posts/content? I've seen this: https://invisioncommunity.com/services/remote-commenting/ But I'm not an enterprise user, if I could purchase it separately I would. Any help would be appreciated. All the best, Nick.

I'd like to show things like "latest post" or "latest topics" from my Invision forum on my Wordpress site. I found these instructions already but I don't have "Pages" . Do I need to purchase the Invision "pages" add on first to be able to get this working?

Hi, I'm running a large IPS-community which also functions as a technical solution for news comment section. Currently we deliver comments section to six online news papers, and we're continually looking to expand with more partners. New articles are posted automatically in their own forums. Regular members can't start new threads in these forums, only reply to existing threads. I'm trying to make an Activity Stream which should function as an "New Articles" stream. With this stream you should quickly find new, unread news articles. The problem I'm encountering is that whenever a member reply to a news article, the article gets bumped back to the top, and is o…

I have two members who have been interacting via PM (or Private Conversation) for a while. One of them accidentally left the conversation (deleted it from his end). Is there any way he could rejoin the conversation? I thought that if the other person who still has the conversation invited him in again, that maybe could work, but it doesn't as the system considers he left voluntarily. So, is there a way around this?

Hi, we have critical issue here. When our users clicks log out our form shows error on front page and forum and all pages are down. It shows error code: EX1366 We have turned off all plugins and stuff, and restore default theme and it is the same. Please help us. Only logged users can now access our forum. One clue - when on ACP I have entered support tab it started working on main page (but only on my computer), until I have log off to next time. edit: Ok, I have switched off option: Cache page output for guests to 0 and it started working for guests. But can I leave it like that? Now on bottom online list is broken. Can I live t…

So, I'm about to set up subscription for premium members. I have some already that in the past have sent me money once per year via paypal to be premium. Reading the documentation, it says that if I add someone manually, they will not be paying. So, if i add someone manually, can I make it so that they can renew on their anniversary date? (I have everyone's anniversary date recorded off site.

Hey everyone, I'm looking at primarily two applications which deal with awards: Trophies and Medals and iAwards. And wondering which one is better. At first sight it seems that Trophies & Medals has more options and most importantly it is automated. I love automation. I sincerely would not have enough time on my hands to keep track of what to award to whom in my community. But imho scenarios are quite limited when awards can be automatically given... Then there is iAwards I see it has no automation by default only when used in conjunction with Automation rules. But Automation rules have been removed from IPS marketplace... Sure its possible to contact author…

I was looking and saw that the SKU number wasn't available for Commerce. The posts were older and I didn't see anything else about it. Is the SKU number option available for Commerce yet? If so, where can I find it? I couldn't find it anywhere. If it isn't available natively, is there a good work-around for it? Thank you.

I just switched to Invision from VB5.5 and I need some help with the mod rewrite. I've installed Invision in /forums/ while VB was (and still is) installed at the root / <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /forums/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule \.(js|css|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|ico|map)(\?|$) /forums/404error.php [L,NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /forums/index.php [L] </IfModule> This is the .htaccess that Invision gave me. But I think it would only work if VB5 was also in /forums/ Please help me adjust this accordingly. Thanks

I'm completely unimpressed with the support i'm getting from Invision, so I'm turning to you folks! For those who migrated from VBulletin or similar, how long did the background processes take? It's been 3+ days now and i'm currently at: 0.81% Rebuilding Posts 2.44% Rebuilding Personal Conversations 9.53% Rebuilding New topic flag 2.84% Rebuilding Messages And 0% for lots and lots and lots and lots of other things below it. At this pace, it's going to to take a month to finish these processes! Tried giving Support my AdminCP password to check on it, but they won't look because I have it on the server (don't want to point my d…
