I am trying to set up a block that will list blog posts, but instead of specifying what authors to list, i want to specify what authors it should not include. So basically i am trying to make a block that will exclude certain authors. Is this possible here?

I just had a poster post a Giphy GIF file in a forum comment. GIFs are not an allowed file type and the Giphy Community Enhancement is not enabled - so how are they still able to do this? On latest version of IPS. BUG?

I was about to create a new custom CSS file when I noticed it's possible to create an app-specific one which, I imagine, will only run when the page being loaded is a particular app: And there it is, complete with a couple of bits of CSS just to test it: But once I go to Downloads, nothing has changed. And when I look at the source code, I find that there isn't a separate custom file created from this CSS file, and nor has it been compiled within the normal custom.css file. Am I using it as intended and it's just not working? If not, how is this feature of creating app-specific CSS files in the ACP supposed to work?

I want to style my custom fields on a product like the post below talks about doing with Pages, but the eCommerce fields seem less flexible. Is there a way to query product custom fields from a PHP block/widget on a product page? Edit - seems I didn't understand how product custom fields work, they are for collecting data not displaying... Is there anything like the below for products, custom data per product that I can display in a widget?

IPS has a button "unread content" but that shows all unread content. A lot of users do want the option to only show the unread content since last visit, so only really new posts. This can be achieved by adding a custom timeline to the activity stream, but that is a bit unwieldy and every users would have to do this. I can't imagine that Invision does not have an easyer option for this anymore. I know it had in the past because I found something about it in an old topic. Where can this option be found in Invision 4.4.2? Or even better, is there a way I can create a custom buttom for example to be used as button or block in the main page, so every user c…

When I upgraded from vBulletin to Invision Community a series of old ranks came with user profiles. It means I have two series of ranks running, when I just want the existing ranks in Invision to remain. I spoke to support who said there's no official way of removing old ranks from people's profiles, but there could be a way running a query on the database. Can anyone assist?

I noticed there was an option it the ACP to cache template files to disk. What exactly does this do? (please don't say "it caches your template files") Do I still need this if I am using Redis to cache stuff? Thank you 🙂

Right above a members total account credit in their ACP it says in small print "Revenue, 12 months to date" What exactly happens to their earned credit if it's stored in the account longer than 12 months? Does the contributor lose it? Seems like account credit is a number that should be a total of all time not just 12 months. This scares me a little.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to get the grant type Authorization Code working? Attached is a screen shot? I was supposed to see a login screen to enter credentials so it can fire back the redirect url to ask for an access token in the next step but never got one. Has anyone already tried this type of grant type? Note while the grant type Resource Owner Password Credentials works like a charm programmatically but I want the bring the user to the IPS login screen and ask him/her to authorize? I had made sure that the redirect on the IPS Oauth 2 matches with the one I had configured in the client! But for now, I am not at that step yet …

Hey everyone I have been trying to convert a vanilla forums to Invision using the Conversion tool. The conversion process seems to go fine, with the progress bar showing what it is supposedly importing and I receive no messages to suggest there is a problem. All the members, forums, topics and first posts have been converted correctly - but absolutely none of the 100,000+ comments have been converted. I have looked in: applications/convert/sources/Software/Forums/Vanilla.php and found the function convertForumsPosts2() which looks like it is responsible for the conversion of vanilla comments to invision posts but I can not see any errors or obvious…

I've tried setting meta tags for a specific page on my site (https://gamearmada.org/star-citizen-polska). As you can see below I set various opengraph tags but despite that facebook doesn't see this. When you check with their debugger what is scraped it seems these are totally ignored (see for yourself). Therefore my question is how can I set those for specific pages when needed? Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug? If you think this issue is better suited to peer-to-peer support section then please move the topic. Thank you!

Can someone elaborate on what this actually means in the 4.4.2 release notes? What's changed? Commerce Improved the display and functionality of non-recurring subscription packages.

Fixed not being able to check out through Braintree purchasing a subscription while using a credit card. Fixed upgrading of expired purchases resulting in account credit being issued.

Hello. I'm trying to setup the Facebook login for my site. It seems to work, however I'm running into some things which are not mentioned in the howto yet, which might have to do with the GPDR implementation. 1.) Deauthorize Callback URL. Do I need to enter this and if yes, what do I need to fill in there? 2.) Data Deletion requests. I put in the url to the contact form there, because users can contact the admin that way to delete their accounts. Is that correct? 3.) Redirect URI (or URL?) to check. Example https://example.com/oauth.php is given. The only oauth.php I found is at https://www.mydomain.com/applications/core/modules/admin/applications/oaut…

I would like to disable content discovery for guests, so they can't see or use the "all activity" or other activity links. I also have a custom made RSS which shows new posts made. And it seems if I disable guest access for "content discovery" this also blocks access for guests to my RSS feed, in spite of the fact that I enabled visibility for everybody in the RSS feed itself. Is it even possible to enable guest access to the custom RSS feed but disable access to /discover for guests?

Get a template error - not default template (can't remember the error exactly) Decide to use the default template. Then run support to clear cache. Still get the error Decide to disable all 3rd party things. (Error goes AWAY) Enable all Applications, Still ERROR FREE Enable all the plugins, Template error returns.
