I dont know if second is directly related to first but since upgrade to 4.3.1 I have realised 2 things Continuously locking tasks. Increase in server load The tasks are ; onlineusers clearsessions userAgentStatistics These tasks seems to be in "Running now..." state for some time and I believe cause of a timeout they change their state to waititing for the next schedule and repeat this, meaning they never run succesfully. If I run them manually they immediately finish succesfully. When this locking occurs the server load start to increase and after some time it gets too high that server may become unreachable. I am experiencing this…

I know IPS has a main calendar plus those created in AdminCP, as well as club calendars. I'm trying to see if there is a way for each member to have their own calendar. For example, take a chess club with 2000 members sprinkled nationwide. If a member wants to host a game night so as to have other members over for a live match (that anachronistic thing where you play in person), it would be irrelevant to members of any distance away. If that was the theme of the site, to organize live in-person chess matches, wherein maybe 1/4 of the members wanted to regularly calendar a live match event, it would swamp any single calendar (maybe 100 events on a saturday) …

I am currently using Spanners company directory app on a project, which is going very well. My next step is to create 2 wordpress sites on different domains which will guide the public to my IPS site to add a listing. Initially I was just going to have them click on a link from the wordpress site. However I would like to make it as simple as possible and am looking at options so they can fill in all the fields on the wordpress site and a company listing will be automatically created on the IPS site. Does anyone know if theres an existing plug in that would handle something like this?

I would like to change the group membership or award a badge to site members who complete all or nearly all of the custom fields I've added to their profile. I know IPS has a built-in rewards/point system. Is there a way I can evaluate solely the profile completeness and not include any points for posts or other activity? Thanks in advance!

Hello I spend long day today clearing this out with my lawyer who is GDPR specialist and there is one basic feature what is "must be" still missing: #1. During registration person must have option to confirm two check boxes. First of it if he allow marketing (and this one can be checked or not checked - it say if we can or not send him commercial emails) and secondary check box is that he agree privacy policy. If person not check privacy policy box this person can`t folow registration. Thats all. There can not be one button for register and confirm this way everything. GDPR/RODO say this clear that this information must be placed that way not in betwen long…

Hello, You probably already know that Google map API is going to ask some money for intense uses. I checked my APIs stats after this news and discovered something troubling: the calendar update for importation of icalendar flow is making more than 5000 calls to the geocoding api. Each 4 hours, this makes 150,000 calls / months, which of course completely explodes the future Google map free quotas. Do some other people here know this problem? The number of event to import is even far from the 5000, and even with deactivation of places this goes on the same rhythm and will prevent me to use google map after the 11 June... Why would this IPS need to do such amount …

Would it be possible to use Gallery's "New Images" block from the gallery home page elsewhere? Our users prefer the layout of the images there, where all are visible, rather than the scrolling "New Images Feed" widget. From what I could gather of the gallery index coding, this seems to be it: {{if !empty( $new )}} <div class='ipsBox'> <h2 class='ipsType_sectionTitle ipsType_reset'>{lang="new_images"}</h2> <div data-ipsPhotoLayout data-ipsPhotoLayout-itemTemplate='gallery.patchwork.indexItem' data-ipsPhotoLayout-maxRows='3' class='ipsPad ipsClearfix cGalleryPatchwork_index'> <ul class='ipsList_inline'> {{fore…

I don't like the new format where the info and discussion area is tot he right of the image. Is there a way to change it back to the previous format? Most of the images don't have any comments and it makes the image small. The Following box is also covering up the maximize button.

Hi, I've setup a dev enviroment and set IPB to dev mode, and have been trying to learn to create a plugin which sets a cookie with the users group ID. I'm really struggling with this and there appears to be no documentation: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/developing-plugins-and-applications/creating-plugins/ When I create a new plugin and select theme hook, it take me to a split screen where I can't edit anything and I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to do. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I have an event coming up and want to have the main conversation point be a single thread on my boards. How much automation can I get to have new posts created in that thread triggered by actions elsewhere. I already use RSS/Atom feed to threat new threads, but can this be done to creat new posts within a thread. Can IFTTT be used to create a new post? This would be ideal as I could then have IFTTT follow certain hashtags blogs and accounts from various social platforms. I am trying to use this single master post as a place to view all the various discussions tag twill be taking place in a number of different locations without having to ma…

Hello everyone. I am looking to use PaymentWall as my Payment Gateaway with Nexus. I noticed that PaymentWall has their own tutorial here: https://www.paymentwall.com/en/documentation/IP-Board/1760 However their Github have not been updated for over two years: https://github.com/paymentwall/module-ipboard Have anyone tried it on 4.3? Does it actually work? I am worried to break my site using it. Their tutorial is screenshots from 3.X - but they claim to support 4.X.. Which seems unlikely, with zero pdates on their Github for two years.

Hi All, We are planning to add WordPress as our home page. Currently our website(IPB) is hosted on SiteGround with cpanel access. Now that cpanel has direct WordPress installation option. 1. We want to install WordPress in a subfolder like www.website.com/wp 2. Once we develop the home page we want to switch to www.website.com/wp to www.website.com and www.website.com to www.website.com/forum Can you guys suggest me best approach. Is it better to create a subdomain or install wp in the sub folder?

We've recently successfully updated a login handler from using IPSConnect to using the OAuth server built into IPS 4.3, but I've noticed that the lifetime of the 'long lived' refresh tokens of authorizations on our OAuth client is only about a week. When editing the OAuth client definition I can choose an access token token lifetime, but there doesn't seem to be an option for configuring the *refresh* token lifetime. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'd like users to not have to sign in again if they've not used our site for the last 7 days! If this isn't currently configurable in IPS what is the official route for requesting / suggesting that as a n…
