Hello, I recently installed a new IPS board, version 4.1.5.2. I followed the steps described at https://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/administration/system/settings/login-handlers-r22/ to get the client ID and secret key to configure the Google Login. I have the client ID and secret key and Google+ API is enabled but if I paste the keys to the Google login configuration in IPS I get always an error like "Google rejected the details provided. Please check the details you provided have been entered correctly and try again." I don't know what I should do more or what I have to change? Maybe someone had the same experience? Thanks Tobias

If I have a couple of custom blocks that are record feeds from each category in a database, how would I add an "Add Record" button to the end of each block template that launches the database form to add a record to that category?

Hi, Please note that we have upgraded our IPB forum from version 3.4.8 to version 4.1.8.1. After upgrading we find that there are issues with links, quotes, images and avatars. Issue with quotes: After upgrading of the forum we see that Quotes in the new forum are working properly. However the quotes which are from the previous version are facing an issue. We see the older quotes being displayed as follows: [quote name='xxxxxxxxxxx' post='11111' date='Feb 22 2010, 11:15 PM'] Quote Text Quote Response Please note that this is not the correct way and we are surprised as to why it is displaying in this way. it was displaying properly in the…

I read somewhere that you can use Amazon S3 as file storage. I remember years ago my forum got full of images and it was a concern when hard drive on my server was getting full. What are the pros and cons of using Amazon S3 to store my uploads, is it slower to access images? I'm not worried about the cost of the S3, more the performance when members view the forums. Cheers, Lenny

I'm maybe missing something obvious here, but... I have a military history forum, and I have multiple groups based on army rank. They start as Private and work them selves up the ranks. I recently added a rank below Private, cadet, but new recruits are still starting in Private. How do I set the Cadet group as the starting point?

I am needing to add discount functionality to commerce, more than what is available right now. currently theres these 3 choices.

For example if someone buys 1-4 of my items the price is $435 an item however if…

Looking for some help from the community: I need to make a new version of the Topic Feed Forum Sidebar Block which only differs by showing the last poster's avatar and name as we have a lot more people that comment on posts than we do creating them, however I do prefer the one item per topic format of the Topic Feed. If anyone could point me in the right direction as to what html file and or sql query is responsible for this block I would greatly appreciate it! Sincerely, Shawn Tierney

Hello together, my following question is related to the commerce topic. We want to switch to IPS. We are selling a product and want to use the commerce application to realize that. When we update our product it will result in a downtime. At the moment we use a different software and we need to add the downtime manually to the subscriptions. I am testing at the moment if it is possible to do it automatically with IPS4. My idea was to create a Block on the client site with an php code. With this code i want to execute a sql command which add the downtime to the subscription time. I found the table nexus_purchases where the ps_expire is located. If I change this value t…

Hi there. This is partly technical support and partly a request for general advice, so I put it in here, hope that'll work. Is there some sort of guide or a thread in here that informatively discusses reputation? I don't mean formatting or a technical glitch, just using it in general. I've done several searches, but am not coming up with anything super helpful. Basically, it seems like a cool concept that could be very helpful and I THINK I'd like to use it, but it's become clear to me that I don't understand it fully. I've never used it before in a live forum, could do so in the near future after I finish upgrading, but feel uncomfy doing that when I don'…

Its great that IPS has an inbuild ad-system, but it seems that ads are being displayed on error pages like 404 pages. If you fore example use Google Adsense you will be getting in trouble for putting ads on error pages since its against their TOS. So how can I exclude ads from being displayed on 404 and other error pages?

Dear All Is it possible to remove likes from a post? I posted a number of posts which have attracted likes. I have now changed the authors of these posts using an app to a member that cannot get likes. However the likes for the previous author still show: The like button isn't there, which is what I expected. However the likes given to the previous member are. I don't want to take the likes from the member, but want to get rid of the shown likes on just these posts. Is it possible?? Not sure I've explained adequately Many thanks Bill
