Hi, My moderator group has been deleted (for some reason). Is there a way I can recreate this? I've tried different ways from ACP but it won't recreate the mod tools. Thanks, Jim

Is this an official IPS table or related to the member map mod I used to use a few years ago? I'm guessing its part of IPS due to the name of the table having 'core' in it. I am seeing these errors a bit so I thought I'd ask REPLACE INTO `ibf_core_item_member_map` (map_member_id, map_item_id, map_latest_date, map_class) SELECT DISTINCT `author_id`, `topic_id`, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), 'IPS\\forums\\Topic' FROM `ibf_forums_posts` AS `forums_posts` WHERE ( queued IN(0,2) ) AND ( topic_id IN(125376) ) IPS\Db\Exception: Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction (1213) #0 /home/**/public/system/Db/Db.php(972): IPS\_Db->preparedQuery() #1 /home/**/p…

Is the Spotify embed code up to date? When using the native IPS embed feature (in the editor or the Pages Spotify field), I get lots of console errors. Seems to be a general issue independent from the site or the Spotify song. Testing here … Yep. Happens here too.

Hi, I googled other threads here but it wasn't helpful. We upgraded server to 8.0 to install new community after doing that our site stopped working properly. Forums are not loading. Here's the error: AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Unparenthesized `a ? b : c ? d : e` is not supported. Use either `(a ? b : c) ? d : e` or `a ? b : (c ? d : e)` in /var/www/mysite/public_html/uploads/template_6_ad9ae6e9ced8695954ac11f917afdfac_global.php on line 1211' We tried 8.0, 8.1, 8.2. Same error. Only on older version of invision community we didn't have any issues (PHP 7.4). Since we upgraded to 8.1 and we bumped community version to the la…

Hello... I know I had this setup before without using another plugin that I have to pay every year for where if someone click Contact Us, they have a choice of Departments to choose from. Now when I setup Contact Us in ACP you have to pick a department that the Contact Us goes to. I can possibly understand this as a need but I should also be able to click multiple departments and if multiple departments are selected a dropdown is presented to user. I have my departments setup When I try and setup the Contact Form to show Departments I have to select A department which means no departments are ever shown to the user and I know I use to have this fea…

Hello! I would like to understand how the custom SSO through Invision works. I have a membership website that I want to connect to a private Invision forum - available to members only. In the ideal scenario, someone signed in as a member with forum access on my website would then be able to access the forum seamlessly, without having to sign in again in the forum. In my mind, the forum tab in the navigation menu would be visible when the member is signed in, but the forum would not be accessible otherwise. This is how it works for other features on our site. My website designer is pretty savvy, but didn't have the skillset to make this kind of connection on …

Not sure if anyone else has raised this. Since the latest update, sometimes when a user (including me) reports a post, it processes it 4 times: It's not consistent and doesn't appear to be a pattern, but I've seen it a handful of times now. And again just now. It's not just Admin usergroup, as I have seen it happen on regular member reports too.

Hello, I'm currently trying to add Stripe as a payment method on my site. I've filled out everything correctly & for whatever reason I keep getting the exact same error. I've tried by listening to all events on the Stripe webhook, and then just listening to the events that show in the error below. All attempts give me this error. In the setup guide for Stripe I did notice that the webhook link in the screenshots was an HTTPS://, not an HTTP:// so I'm not sure if this is part of the problem. My site is fully secure & I even got another SSL certificate as I thought that might be the fix. If anyone has had this issue or has any clue why this is happe…

Our domain strokeboard.net points to our host here, on invision. However, we have another domain strokenetwork.org which we have hosted elsewhere and have email accounts associated with, MX records, etc. As a mod here suggested, I'm going to put up a 301 redirect to get that domain and all our other domains pointing to our strokeboard.net site hosted here BUT we need our strokenetwork.org email still hosted and working on the other host - still with me? So right now, strokenetwork.org is not resolving nor is the email working. I opened a ticket with them and I got a little lost with their response. here it is: When they refer to 'third party DNS', they ar…

Hello, Luckily this is my test site, not my live one. Anyway, previously I was on 4.7.2 running PHP 7.4 and with three third party apps/plugins flagged as problems for PHP 8. Okay, I deactivated those 3rd party apps/plugins, switched to PHP 8. Ran the compatibility file, all good. I had to deactivate a 4th app though that had a problem only when I visited the forums index. But basically all was ready to upgrade. I downloaded the 4.7.6 zip file from here, all good. I uploaded the content via FTP, very slow upload as I'm basically overseas on the road, but eventually all was uploaded and no error message from the FTP program. I ran the upgrade with no pr…

Hello, I'm having an issue with new users going directly to the "validating" tab in ACP. In the past, it never happened. Maybe, 1-2 users a week did not validate their emails. Now, it's just everyone. Could you please look into my ACP and tell me if there is an issue? I just don't know what could be wrong 😞 See screenshot. All new users are in the Validating tab. Thanks

We've recently moved our forum to a new server, applied all the latest updates to 4.7.5, and we've changed our SMTP gateway, so a lot of stuff has changed. Everything working well except one thing. Some of the mods, not all of them, are no longer receiving notifications of reported content. Until a couple of days ago no mods were receiving the notifications but I went to the support section on the forum and found there was a patch to apply for this very reason so I've applied that and now some of the mod team are receiving them and some are not. In the email error log I can see the emails in question sat there, and I can release them manually and they are d…

Hello, I wanted to move members that weren't active on our forum for a while to another primary group instead of their original one. I set this filtering and got a list of nearly 600 members, have chosen "Move members Found", could specify the new target primary target group, got a last warning "This will move 587 memebers", and started the job. System responds with "Members queing", so it was looking well at the first glance. But when I checked the content of the new primary group those members weren't moved, they still have their old primary group. Can anyone tell me what went wrong here? Best regards Juergen

Even on this forum there is a problem with emoji. Some are doubled (once in lowercase, once in uppercase), and others like "rock" are not available.
