Hey all, I want my members to have the ability to post anything they want, but I want to avoid the hit and run from people who join only to post a link and leaving forever, by hiding their links if they are inactive on the forum. I could do that in another forum platform. For example if you don't post 5 times per week then you get demoted in another usergroup were you can't post links. Can something like this be done ?

I'm very much interested in knowing the possibility or directions on how to integrate the carquery api in IP pages? I wish to build car specs pages with IP Pages and http://www.carqueryapi.com/ offers an api for pulling all car fields data. There is one wordpress theme I have seen in which you can pull all car fields data and save the WP pages in seconds: https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-listings/ Hope we can do same in IPB with little programming or some existing plugins.......!

Basically what the title says: I am looking for an easy way to create a block that displays a feed of comments which have been posted on articles in the Pages App. I haven't used the Pages App that much in the past, but now that I do, I realized that there is no preconfigured block that can be selected in the Frontend Sidebar Manager in order to display said comments. We have it for forum topics, for downloads, for blog articles... but not for pages articles. And yes, I am a total noob when it comes to creating manual templates and such, so bear with me. How can I create a frontend block that displays comments from articles (within a database, within all databas…

Hi everyone, good day and I'm highly confused on which choice to make as I plan to add a new feature in my car community to list car specs, prices and offer a car comparison tool. Please advise, which out of below is the most practical way forward: Load car specs in IP Pages and then "struggle" to find a developer who can design car comparison tool Get Wordpress readymade theme with tons of features and awesome looks and find a developer to match the header to IPB theme I'm more inclined on number 2, as to keep the 40-50k car descriptions in a separate DB will help to balance the IPB core running smooth

Dear All We have our CiC set up which we are very happy with. We also have a standalone installation. We would like to copy some posts from our main install to the standalone, in particular posts with photos. I understand that you cannot export/import specific posts. Can anyone suggest any way that doesn't involve having both setups open and laboriously copying/pasting each post? Many thanks Bill

I've been doing alot of research and about 6 hours of solid browsing and now I'm admitting defeat. I currently have the client simply submitting hashed user details to a custom php api responsible for user authentication as well as database queries. I was wondering if it's plausible to setup InvisionCommunity to act as an OAuth2 server which can serve member details via REST to a Native Desktop application where users will login using OAuth2(my site) to retrieve their user details. Has anyone managed to get this working, if so can you throw us a few pointers both the available IPS docs and what's publically available aren't cutting it. Is…

In my Pages all there is a "Subtitle" field that is throwing this error sometimes when I submit articles: EX1406 IPS\Db\Exception: Data too long for column 'field_7' at row 1 (1406) A look at my database indicates that field_7 is a varchar(255) field. I suspect that this happens when I put in more characters than 255, however, I thought the field length would not allow me to do that. Any ideas on how to handle this?

I have a new forum running 4.3.5. After having run 3.x on another site forever, everything is different! When you click on the "Mark forum as read" icon next to a forum, on mobile devices it displays a popup to confirm this is what you want to do, and on desktop views it simply marks the forum as read. Given these icons look identical to the icons displayed next to topics in a forum, yet behave in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT fashion, I've had several people ask me why the hell the forum icon marks a forum as read, while in the topics view it brings you to the first unread post. I have to agree. So, to help people not accidentally mark a forum as read, I want to disp…
