Hi Guys - I'm looking or hosted ElasticSearch options and have looked at the elastic.co recommended Swiftype plan, but I would love a service that would enable me to just plugin the URL and port into the ACP (see screenshot). Siftype requires code entered into the templates. I can do it but would rather not. Any recommendations for hosted ElasticSearch?

We redirect our Contact Us form (for guests) to created Support Requests. Right now they all come through with the title of "Support Request created via Contact Us Form". We would like to offer an optional subject line on the contact us form. Seems a simple request, but I cannot find the setting?

I have a site still running 3.4.9 (do not ask! 😰) which has experienced a malware intrusion. Inspecting the page source via Chrome I can see the following javascript block (highlighted with pink) planted within the header (shown top left in red). Could anyone please tell me which folder/directory would house that portion of ipboard_body code? I'm completely useless at finding where Invision places some of its code! Any help appreciated.

Hello, What would this mean? https://www.peopleandchat.org/#elNavTheme_menu when trying to change a theme. It won't change it but gives me this "/#elNavTheme_menu" instead of allowing me to pick from a list. The list won't even open.

Hi, If I post a link to an mp3 sound effect file in a forum post and mp3 is a permitted file type in AdminCP, is it supposed to rich embed with a relevant HTML5 audio player, even a basic one? Or is only supposed to work for actual uploaded mp3 attachments only? Many thanks!

I might be looking in the wrong place, but I haven't found a way to create a page in Pages that displays (pulls) the IPS advertisements. Is this possible directly through Pages? (Poor but simple) Example: Pull all active/enabled 728x90 ads and display them in a single column format on Pages? Pretty sure there are manual ways to do this by adding the ad key manually as described here: However, I want to try to automate this such that ad subscribers can purchase ad placement through the IPS Advertisements and then automatically display them on a given target page (such as by category). I'm guessing you could also add custom locations somehow, but it stil…

Dear All I hope you all had a good Christmas. We have a number of forums which we use for a short period of time before they are deleted. I wasn't sure who was deleting them so I checked the Admin logs. NOTHING appears in the Admin logs, yet clearly they are being deleted as they are no longer there. I'm missing something (probably obvious), but I can't work it out. Any suggestions? Many thanks Bill

I have an issue, that my sitemap is not updated anymore. SELECT * FROM `core_sitemap` ORDER BY `updated` ASC I get the date I have updated it manually last time, three days ago. I have made it manually as it was not updated for 4 days till there. I do not have any errors in admin logs. The tasks log of sitemapgenerator does not have any errors as well. But why there is no new content in sitemap? I have also sorted the table core_sitemap by last_id and see that new items are not in the sitemap. What can cause the issue? Edit: If I rebuild Sitemap manually from ACP, then it is up-to-date and contains new items as well.

Hello, This is probably a pretty amateurish question, but I need to change the color of text for non-selected menu items. If that doesn't make sense, please see attachment. Basically, I'd like to make the non-selected menu items (such as "Profile," "Manage Followed Content," etc.) be the same color as the Categories are (CONTENT, SETTINGS). Can someone point me in the right direction? I've looked around in the Theme Editor, but I am not sure what is the right place to edit, etc. Thanks in advance for any help. Zack
