I am using Invision Community v4.3.3 in our testing server. When I go to System -> Settings -> Login & Registration -> Methods, if I click on "Edit" next to MySQL Database I get "mb_substr() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given" in system/Http/Url.php line 823. If I turn off developer mode by setting "define( 'IN_DEV', false);", then I can access the externa MySQL settings. When I installed the IPS Developer Tools, I left in the "applications" folder only the following subfolders: calendar, convert, core, forums; I removed everything else since I couldn't see those in my installed applications folder on the server. I did that because i…

I've got myself into a dilemna :S I had an RSS scraper bot on Xenforo which scraped reddit and instead of assigning posts to a user it essentially posted them as if they were posted by the reddit user that posted them (ie. /u/reddituser) When I converted over to IPB all the topics now show as being posted by 'Guest /u/reddituser' Well stupidly I was merging some sub-forums into its parent forum and I inadvertently managed to moved all the topics from this RSS Scraper forum into the main forum merging genuine posts with scraped threads by all these Guest posters. Initially I thought okay, no problem... I'll just move all posts from the members usergroup…

I'm setting up the rest API, and I just simply can't access it. It says "The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.", I thought this was odd and checked my link to my forums. I went one step further and tried /core/hello directly and received the same error. I suspect it's my .htaccess. What do I need to add to my .htaccess to allow this to work? Additionally, I had to use the second option in the documentation as the hosting doesn't allow header authentication.

Hello all! I currently run a game on my forum and have a group of volunteer staff that help run the site. I was looking for a way to reward the extra active + helpful volunteers on my site to help give back to those that help us out the most. I was wondering if there is a way to get stats on a member's number of new content added to a specific sub forum (as oppose to the entire board). Ideally I would like stats that show the top member contributions in a given window of time (last month?) in a particular subforum. The idea being that the member who is the most active posting in the subforums can be identified and highlighted as a superb contributor. I am willin…

I can't find an option to download records from a database in ACP (cloud version). When I go to download database page, it says records won't be included. I'm looking for a way to download all the records so I can sort them by user. And/or get a count on how many database records they've made (not posts). Thanks in advance if anyone can help. Ben

Hi all, I've tried switching to the more modern grid layout for forums, but the sidebar 'protrudes' out on the right of the page beyond the end of the header. It happens with both the default IPS theme and my own. Is it a known bug? Many thanks.

Hello, I wonder if this can be made via SQL query and if someone can help me out with it. In the near future I may need to assign a secondary group to all members of a particular primary group. For example I'll need to assign group 13 as a secondary one to all members who have group 6 as their primary one for example. So, they keep group 6 as their primary and get group 13 as a secondary one. Is it possible?

After upgrading to 4.3.3, if I click on the + Create button and select "Article in xxxxxx", it will give me an error saying "Something went wrong. Please try again". If I click on status, announcement or topic, it will work without any issues. It is only when I click on "Article in xxxx" that I get the error. Oddly enough, if I click on the "Add new article" button on the homepage, it will work. It is only giving me this error via the "+ Create" button on the top menu. I have already cleared cache and I'm only using the default, stock theme until I can get this fixed. Anyone run into this?

Hi everyone, is there a way to slow down bulk emails sending rate? I have a community with over 30000 members and in 3 minutes it sent 15000 emails... i think sparkpost or email filters will hate this. My question is... how can it be slowed down? Like 200 emails per day would be fine and would avoid me getting headaches with email filters blacklisting my email address. Regards

Hello all! I just recently joined Invision Cloud, and have started migrating content from a phpBB 3.2 forum. The initial migration data import seemed to go well and it pulled over the content seemingly without issue (100k+ posts, 50k+ PMs). There were some formatting issues with the posts, but those seem to be resolving as the background processes go through the rebuilding process. However, the background processes (rebuilding posts, PMs, etc.) seem like they are going to take at least another day or two before completion. In fact, a few of them seem to be stalled for the last hour or so (posts have been rebuilding for the last 5 hours, and it is still at only …
