I have one home2000.com, Invision Forum. I hope that if the user uses home2000.com and has a suitable membership, the menu system will display a menu system that is unique to this membership. If the uses a different URL, amerifax@com, the menu system would be different. www.home2000.com - The menu display would be something like this. home2000 Forum Gallery Browser amerifax@gmail.com - The menu display would be something like this.

Hello, TL;DR; I'm currently fighting with a compatibility issue between IPB 4.7.9 and PHP 8.2. IPB reports that PHP version is ok and that all is good from this side. But all email sending are failing because of the following error: 4C143/1 Creation of dynamic property IPS\Email\Outgoing\Php::$language is deprecated Do you maybe have an idea from where it can come from please? Longer problem description below Now I went a bit ahead and started looking into it to check if I could not fix it myself. First thing I did was to create language property in the _Email abstract class. I made a mistake and created it as protected. Error was gone…

I need a better understanding of how the menu system works. 1. I have 2 URLs to access my home2000.com site. home2000.com - Its home page should have its own look (describing its function) and menu system. amerifax.com - Its home page should have its own look (describing its function) and menu system. 2. How do the menus work. As I see it the top menu calls the Second layer of menus. Top Menu: home2000 Amerifax Wisconsin Bob Browse Activity Called Memu: Clubs Forums Blogs Events Articles Downloads Gallery Staff OtherUsers Leaderboard. As I See it "home2000" calls and shows Called menu. How to set up a menu to display only what I…

A customer just wrote me that he was not able to make the paypal payment for a bigger order ( approx. 800 US$ ) and sent me an errormessage. I logged in with a test account to test the payment gateway. All was working - the paypal window popped up where you need to enter the code provided by SMS. But the amount which I tested was lower. So my question is - was this just a temporary error or is there something need to be fixed ? I also checked the settings in AP - all looked normal since I never changed the settings anymore since the system is running. Thanks for the help in forward.

My community has a need to host some files for new Pages pages we're building which aren't accepted by the Pages Media Manager. This feature unfortunately restricts uploads to an allowlist of specific file extensions: Unlike for attachments, I couldn't find any settings to configure this list. How can I make Pages allow other file types (or all file types - we trust those who have access to this part of the ACP) through?

Hello, because newsletters are a sensitive topic here in Europe (GDPR) I'd like to hide the entire newsletter block from the notification center. Yes I've already set the manual opt-in method for bulk mails but I also want to remove this block from this center. The main reason is that the checkbox for email notification is enabled by default. How can I hide this box? We do not send any newsletter because we have no additional opt-in process. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm hoping to assign badges to specific posts. I've set up a few with custom icons. These two badges are to be manually assigned to posts by admin only and will indicate if we endorse the post. For example: "Supported by research" or "Endorsed by LTA". Assigning badges works well, but for some reason the icons related to the badges don't display with the post. Here's an example of what is displayed. The icon assigned to the 'Endorsed by LTA' badge looks like this, but is nowhere to be seen on the post. Anyone know if there's a way to ensure this icon is displayed with the post the badge is awarded to?

Updates all done. Prior to that I could just go on and make and event and it would pop up on the home page of our group. This time is the first time I have tried it in some months and now it isn't working. Any ideas?

When trying to view a certain forum on my community in "expanded view", the result is an empty white page with an HTTP 500 response code. It generates errors like this one in my webserver's log which indicate that Invision Community is running out of memory: FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /[redacted]/system/Db/Select.php on line 503" while reading response header from upstream, client: [redacted], server: [redacted], request: "GET [redacted] HTTP/1.0", upstream: [redacted], host: "[redacted], referrer: [redacted] My server's PHP memory limit is set to 128 MB,…

Creating a separate thread in case it's unrelated to this: Someone requested that their account be deleted, and so an admin set that going. As this was being processed in the background, it seems to have got stuck (~23% of 9k posts). This has caused the queue task to be locked every time it tries to run, once a minute. A LOT of other tasks are getting backed up because of this (mostly notifications, so far) and it's getting worse over time. Here is the System Log error when I try to set the background tasks running manually: Error: Call to a member function container() on null (0) #0 /usr/share/nginx/html/applications/forums/sources/Topic/Post.php(374): IPS\…

We run four installs of IPB and only one of them is suffering from this problem. We have writers who write entries that later require approval from an editor/admin. That's fine, works as expected. But if the admin edits the piece and sets the publish date in the future, after approving it the article publishes automatically within the next hour or two. Sometimes it's immediate, sometimes it's five minutes, but it's publishing *way* ahead of schedule. Is this a common bug in 4.7.9 and would providing system logs or anything else help to better explain the underlying issue?

Hello, in the last couple of days we deleted a lot of old and hidden posts/topics. The list of deleted content in modcp is 200 pages long. 😉 We set the permanent deletion period to 1 day. Due to the fact that the "delete content" task runs only once a day and everytime it deletes only approximately 1 page of deleted posts it would theoretically need 200 days to delete all 200 pages. 😉 Is it possible to run the deletion task more often a day automatically? (I know that I can start it manually as often as I want) Another solution would be to use modcp to permanently delete the content, but this would also take a very long time, since only a few page…

Hi, We have activated the management of connected devices and in some cases the location of the IP that shows the user is wrong. This information causes discomfort because it is not a close location of the user. For example: IP- 88.5.20.198 The IPBoard IP Tool show "Barcelona, Catalunya" and the right location is Zaragoza (another autonomous community) The user don't connect via VPN. I check this IP in other IP tool https://www.cual-es-mi-ip.net/geolocalizar-ip-mapa and show the right location Is there any solution? Can the IP lookup tool be changed? Thanks, Toni

Hi, We've had issues with Authy SMS 2FA not working on our community. I reached out to Authy and they have advised that it has been discontinued and they have changed the product for SMS 2FA to 'Verify'. They shared an article on how to migrate. I'm guessing this is 1 for the Invision devs? https://www.twilio.com/blog/migrate-authy-to-verify Liam
