I have an issue when using Calendar on my development. After submitting events my installation is not reachable anymore: Neither ACP, nor the site can be used because of this error. I use WAMP on localhost and have no difficulties on my Linux test server. Is there something that I can configure for WAMP to get rid of the error?

Hello folks, there are some posts on my website with a ton of links in them, and I mean several hundred in a single post. This has always been a dicey proposition (I've been with Invision since 2005) - in the past, once a post got beyond a certain size, or certain number of links (I never found out which it was), hitting "Save" produced something of a catastrophic result. Now that the old edits of posts are saved, this is no longer a significant risk. But recently, I updated to the current version, and a similar problem has come up: I click to save the post, and it takes seemingly forever, eventually coming back with an error message saying, "This post can no lo…

What am I missing here ? I never cared about this h2, h3 thing til I started to deal with blogs in different communities. Now a few bloggers have asked me the ability to add h2 and h3 titles in the editor, but I can't find the option, unless I grant them html privileges in the editor? Is this something we have all forgotten? Even wordpress has the option to insert a h3 line and others, in the editor. I don't think the website could be vulnerable if we allow users to use those tags, right?

I'd like to have a bit of control over the width of the sidebar. I find that there disproportionately large – especially if you are in a fixed width. I've looked around but they don't seem to be any plug-ins that can do this. I can imagine that it could be a question of tweaking the code. Anyone got any idea about this please?

I upgraded yesterday to 4.3.1 and i installed elasticsearch in an external server with a ping of only 5ms to my live server. My users noticed that it was taking 1 or 2 seconds to submit every post they made. Then i changed back to mysql and they were correct that it was slower. Now its simple instant, i press submit reply and the post appears right away. My question is, how can Elasticsearch slowdown the post? The board only shows the post after it was also sent to Elasticsearch? I'm going to install Elasticsearch on localhost to check if the problem its in the fact of me using an external server for elasticsearch.

Hey there, is it possible to use PHP within the pages application or is there any 3rd party plugin / application that would allow to use PHP in specific pages? I wanted to build a gameserver viewer with a PHP library but creating an application just for this use seems a litte bit over the top. Thanks for any help or hints, Phil

Hello, We like to introduce clubs to our forum. But we notes some difficulties by making it exactly right for our community. first we like to put it on the front page, to make it more visible for the customer. There is a lovely plugin to do this: https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/8924-clubs-card-on-forums-index/ Now second we like to see a “add topic” button on the main page of a club. This makes it easier/motivate for people to start a topic. Would this be hard to make? (Custom job) Third we want to be able to force all clubs to be public or open. (Prevent close & private) Is there any setting, plugin already doing this? Otherwise…

Hi Everyone, We are looking to convert to IPB4 from VB4 (And a handful of custom modifications). Questions: I'm doing a test conversion on localhost and notice that IPB does not maintain vbulletin's native thread/post ID's. Since many of our modifications rely on grabbing the thread ID, would it be possible to do a conversion and force IPB to maintain the same thread ID's? Or, would it be possible to create some sort of log that tracks what VB thread ID's were converted to which IPB thread ID's? For example, VB thread ID "48" was converted to IPB thread ID "30" (that way could create a script to convert all of the data for compatibility) We hav…

Hello, community! I have a database with 4 entries. In one of these entries, I wanted to display the content of a custom block I wrote. The block key is "playlist-ceb" but everything I put in the following field is treated as normal HTML text and I just get the text {block="playlist-ceb"} shown in the website. I wanted to show the block output in the middle of the text within this entry content. Is it possible? Thanks, Fernando

Trying to install plugins. Tried two different ones. Both fail. The site gets redirected to a front-end error page "The page you requested does not exist" Error code: 1S160/2 Both plugins are 4.4 compatible. Thoughts? Thanks Thought it might have been the plugin directory permission. Went from 755 to 777, no difference. (now back to 755, obviously).

I don't want to die thinking I am crazy. Could someone else please try something in IPS 4.4.3... Go to your AdminCP. Go to your Terms and Privacy Policy section. Type the following phrase into either the 'Site Guidelines' or the 'Privacy Policy'. The phrase is "We select" ("I select" has the same result for me). Do you get a 500? I have been debugging this for an hour. I could not understand why a paste was crashing the page. I finally found the two words that were doing it. Please tell me I'm not crazy! Thanks all 😉 P.S. Just tried it with the word 'select' alone and it still crashes it. BTW, the problem does not exist in the Registration Terms & …

I've noticed that the links on my ipboard do not have the "rollover" function. For example, in articles the link titles are black and nothing else. It's okay like that? In the Invision Community Forums, the "rollover" function converts them to blue when the mouse passes over them.

Hello, II'm trying to use mailgun's smtp server instead of phpmail function of the board, but I get the "connection refused" error everytime. The problem is that I'm using the right credentials (email, user, password and port, ) still get the connection refused (I even created everything from scratch, new pass, user, etc.. and still get the error). Already talked with mailgun support and everything is ok from their end. My hosting is not blocking any smtp ports either. What else could I be doing wrong ? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

How do I add a club leader or moderator to the public club? As there is no tab for members on the club page, it seems I cannot add leaders and moderators for the club.
