Good morning, Objective: Display the list of matches. Access the details of a match. We already have a database containing the players (Example of fields: last name, first name, date of birth, number, position on the field, etc.) We are thinking of creating a database containing information on football matches (Example of fields: date, team_a, score_a, team_b, score_b, competition, etc...) Each match must be able to include players. What do you think is the best procedure to follow to configure the databases together in order to make it possible to enter the details of a match and add several entries present in another table (here players)? …

By mistake I've removed the attachments from a post. I was editing the post and clicked the little black cross at the top right of the attachments. I thought that because I didn't save the post after removing the attachments, that wouldn't actually remove them, but I understand now that that isn't the case, the attachments are gone. Is there a backup somewhere or are they just lost? Thanks!

I had Adriano build a custom app for sports coaching. The app uses Commerce to collect $ from students and pays out coaches for lessons – minus my fee. The system that Adriano built works great. If the business grows I am worried about the accounting. As it is I do not see an easy way to correlate a lesson, the student payment, the money owed to the coach, and if the coach has withdrawn payment for a specific lesson. Commerce works and I know the amounts credited to each coach are correct but my OCD wants a spreadsheet showing how the money moves around. Are there any tools any solutions for additional reporting for transactions and withdrawals?

Is there a setting to restrict moderators from managing clubs? Especially the destructive menu items under the Manage Club dropdown button like Edit Club Settings, Delete Forum, etc. I've created a restricted Moderators group but cannot find a related setting to restrict these permissions.

We are seriously considering having InVision convert our Nabble forum to InVision, but are looking for advice from those of you who have had them do a conversion for you. We've asked to talk to those who have done this but Marc Stridgen, of their sales team, suggested that we post here asking for input instead. This is a big deal for us as it will be expensive and we are a free forum, so will have to do fund raising. Given that, we want to get it right and would love to get your advice on what worked for you and what to watch out for. I'm happy to do this via email if you'd like, but would love to have your input. And if I've missed a thread on this topic in …

Hi mates, I am observing from the sytem log that we are experiencing attacks on single attachment URLs. As it seems someone is hammering the attachment engine/URLs with random IDs: The URLs itself look like this: https://www.mcseboard.de/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=ajax&do=attachmentInfo&attachIDs[14365]=true Now what is bugging me is: Why are they hammering those attachment URLs and why do they do that as a guest user. Case A: As guest an error is being thrown ("Sorry, there is a problem. Something went wrong. Please try again. Error code: EX0") in the frontend - thus the system log entry. Case B: I…

I need to setup a download in my marketplace but I don't want it available until next week but we need a link to it for third party blogs and emails. I could create it today and then hide the file and the post to the forum. Is there an easy way to change the posting date of this next week when I need it to go live, and un hide it and have it appear that it was posted on that date? Could I create a friendly URL to a placeholder file and then post the file day of release then update the friendly url to redirect to the download? (would have to maintain that in perpetuity) not ideal.

I'm looking for comprehensive training or guides for Invision Communities. I'm beginning to feel a little overwhelmed. I know what I want to do, but having trouble getting it done. My degrees are in Computer Science and Network Engineering (from the 90s). I'm a techie guy, but I'm not a programmer (or coder as I believe it's called today). I know just enough to know I need help or I need to better educate myself. As I don't have the funds to hire someone at the moment, I'm willing to invest time in myself by learning the platform. Would someone please direct me to training via Invision or a third party? I've read the guides and looked around, but I don't see a training se…

Hello 🙂 English is not my mother language and I sometimes don't understand some words. I wonder what "Review files" in the Download system permissions mean exactly ? Does it mean members can modify the file and send a new version ? Thank you 🙂

I'm new to Invision. Just purchased my first subscription. I'm trying to link Blog entries to my various forums. I can accomplish this by using the URLs assigned to each, but I'm wondering if there is a built-in way to do this and if so, which is better. Thanks for your input.

Is it possible to disable access to the website without logging in, forcing users to log in to see the homepage? However, in that case, search engine robots will not see the page, new topics, and they will not be indexed. Is there a way to solve this, or am I mistaken?

Hi! We are going to 'restart' our very old forum, which has been open but not managed during last few years. We have thousands of spam members and we would like to get rid of them. Is there any way how to bulk delete them, as taking them off one by one will take too much time?

I was looking to restart a renewal that was stopped back in March 2024. Been informed that the previous $20 monthly charge is no more, which is okay but the response from sales is making me a little confused. My understanding is that I would need to purchase IC at the new customer pricing ($400) and then would be going forward on the typical renewal pricing ($200) As this particular license was just recently active not more than a few months ago, I never paid for it on the onset? Just wanting to clarify things.

Will having our communities on the newest version of 4.7.x better position us for a smoother upgrade to 5.x when it's available, or is 5.x so different that it won't make a difference? Are steps being taken in 5.x to ensure a smooth upgrade to from 4.x? What can we do now to prepare our communities for the upgrade without issues? Thank you

I have two accounts with Invision Community because some of my licenses are personal, and therefore tied to my personal payment card, whereas others are business-related and use an alternative card for payment. I'm trying to log into my alternative account. It hasn't always been obvious how to do it, and today is a stellar case of this. I have signed out at both invisioncommunity.com and invisioncommunity.com/forums. The next step is to log in again. No matter which of the two sites I try, I'm presented with this: But clicking Sign in with Email automatically logs me back into the last account used, not the one I want to access! I'm not finding anywhe…
