So, this curious thing happened: a moderator on the forum who had primary group "Moderators" and secondary group "Subsection Editors" (latter an own construct) suddenly and apparently spontaneously lost his role assignment in his profile reset to "Member" today. Here, it was the primary group that was reset. Although easy to re-assign, I wonder how such a thing could happen? The logs show no manual group assignment changes being made since months, and than it was the change to higher privilege. Its not a biggie, as it's fixed. But my question: can a primary group assignment be changed without a log of the change being saved?

Hi, I noticed that it is possible to integrate my wordpress website's login with IPS, using OAuth and adding wordpress as a "sign in with.." method. However, this will still require the users to manually click "login" and choose this option, which is confusing considering they already logged in to the wordpress website (which is on the same domain). Right now I have a custom solution and I use IPS as the "server", while my Wordpress website detects that the user is logged in to the forums and automatically logs them into wordpress. But I want to switch this around, have the users login to my wordpress website, and let IPS auto log them in. Is it possible i…

This plugin only just stopped working completely for me after the update to the latest version of invision. I am currently using version 1.0.8 though it says it was updated to '2.0.1.1 Beta' on 22/05/23 but never upgraded to that as the link is broken from the AdminCP. Any idea where I can find the latest version of this plugin and if it is still supported by the author, not sure if this is or isn't them: @Catzwolf Many thanks in advance

Does Invision Spam Defense look up emails in the stopforumspam.com database? I regularly detect spammers who post on my forum, and when I look them up stopforumspam.com I find records for their email that predate that user's registration with that email address on on our forum. Here's a new user who successfully registered just 1 hour ago: She posted just now in a topic that is only 3 hours old. I found entries going back May 23rd on stopforumspam.com : I looked at the Defense Logs and that last user had a response "1".

I'm currently still running Invision Community 4.7 selfhosted. If someone posts an external image (inserts an image from an external URL) i would like to automatically upload it to my server. I not only need this for the forum but also (especially) the pages application. I have seen this on other sites. (Xenforo for example) Is this possible? How? If so is there an option in the ACP or a Plugin?

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…

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.
