HI, I am going to start introducing ads into my forums. Whats the best way of doing this? Is it built into the suite or do I need a plugin? Can I change the ad displayed depending on user group? and what about geographical location? i.e. Can I show a UK webstore to UK users and a US one to US users? Looking for examples of what others are doing and suggestions on how do do this as well as possible. Thanks

I had a moderator purchase a subscription and it replaced their mod status with the subscriber status. How can I prevent this from happening or do I manually have to add moderator as a secondary group? Also, how can I make both group images show up when they post or in their profile?

Hello, I'd like to give members a change to upgrade to a 'Vendor' group but at a cost with different settings such as more PM space, etc. What is the best solution to do this? I've seen it done on phpbb and vbulletin but never on Invision. Any help would be appreciated .

Hey Guys, so I am having a bit of a problem at the moment as I'd like to specify an image that i am using inline a certain database record as the og:image meta thingy for facebook. IPS supports to have the record image to be the og:image meta tag in the header by default, but this is not what I need right now. Unfortunately Facebook only crawls within the header for og:image meta tags so an inline meta tag is getting ignored. Do you guys have a good idea on how to approach this issue? Thanks -Daniel

I am creating some module that needs information from the database, is it safe to store $servername = ""; $username = ""; $password = ""; $dbname = ""; $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname); $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname); if ($conn->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); } $online = 0; Into a block which is loaded on the front page? If its not, what is the require path to use so I can store the DB info in a file that can be accessed by the block. I am having an issue making the block require the database info without using an absolute path.

Is there a way to assign a database to a Club so that people can submit recipes, for example, or we can build a library of documents, etc.? Invision says there is no way to do this at the moment, but I could swear that I once had a database in one of my clubs. Thanks!

To PM one person you can do /messenger/compose/?to=1 this would pre-populate the "To" box with the username of the person with id number 1. Is it possible to pre-populate more than one name? e.g. send a message to id 1,2 and 3 for example. This might be really simple but I can't find the answer.

My programming limitations are getting in the way. I know what I want to achieve, I believe I know the approach to take, but I don't know how to code it. Several of my databases use the same record display. They also happen to have identical fields with similar keys. Those field keys take the form database-determined-prefix_key-name. Some examples: articles_definitions, readers_definitions, places_definitions. In order to make my code neater, I'd like to assign those database-determined prefixes to a variable and then look up the fields using the variable to replace the prefix: {$record->customFieldDisplayByKey('$prefix_definitions', 'display')|raw} I'…

In a Pages database I'm using the member field to indicate which member the record refers to. (It's something like a staff directory.) I would like to use that field to display the member's profile picture. I know that $field_33 will give me the member_id. I also know that {template="userPhoto" app="core" group="global" params="$row->author()", 'tiny', $row->warningRef()"} will generate the profile picture complete with profile appearing on hover etc. Rather than $row->author() (which is always me), I want to use $field_33. However, it's not working. So I presume that the parameter generated by $row->author() has to be more than just the membe…

Hi all, After reading some of the threads on here I moved from Memcached to Redis. Would love to hear what you have setup for the overall configurations? Currently using MySQL Database as the Data Storage Method but wasn't sure if this was best. Also any ideas why if I search for 'Data Storage' in the ACP search I get no results, but if I search for 'storage' i get what i'm after? [System] Data Storage Cheers Alex

Is there any way I can ban a used but NOT ban the list of IP addresses they use? I'm having to manually work my way through 27 pages of banned IPs that got listed when I banned ONE user. It is causing havoc with everyone else as I am now getting reports from all over the country from people who are logging in to find that they are banned...but they are not.
