Hello everyone. Is it possible in the Pages app to display a date in MM/YYYY format? (instead of DD/MM/YYYY) In my memory, it seems to me that it was possible in an older version. THANKS

Unfortunately, IPS doesn't seem to label their PHP files with the current version #, so I have no recollection of the version I downloaded in January, and the archive tells me nothing that I can find. Is there a file in the archive that will tell me the version? I must ask, because I'm upgrading my server to PHP 8.0+ and I want to install the Nov, 2022 release 4.7.4 to see what if anything breaks from 4.7.3. I DO NOT want to upgrade to 4.7.9, since one of my mandatory extensions purportedly is not compatible (Radical Tags). Unfortunately, IPS does not offer it's customers anything but the "current release". I just need to know what version I have based on the ar…

I'm wondering if there is a way to pull sales for weekly and monthly out of the invision commerce module. I need to break down some numbers to split pay with a partner. Is this possible? Side note: I understand I can do this through a payment processor but we are hosting multiple payment processors and feel like it would be easier if there was an option to somehow pull all sales from the platform on a weekly and /or monthly basis.

Hi. A little lost as regards where to set max file size for uploads to a club downloads feature. I've created a downloads section in a club but I seem to be limited in upload size and cannot find where to adjust it. Download categories in the main section are fine (as per the screenshot), but there is nowhere I can find where I can adjust the upload size in a club feature. Thoughts? Thanks!

I'm working on creating a global Pages Block that contains a series of custom Blocks. The custom Blocks look great, I just want to add some of the core blocks such as Upcoming Events, Popular Contributors, etc. Is there is a list of these Block keys in the documentation anywhere? I searched but couldn't find it.

I'm struggling to make my own articles look good on my website. Is there a way to make the page displaying all the articles look like the news on this Invision website, or like the "Our Picks" page on my forum?

I've been looking all over this website for hosting requirements for self-hosting for 4.7.9. Anyone know where I can find the list of requirements? All I see is to download some sort of technical coding for compatibility that I really don't understand. Any recommended hosts that offer installation and everything besides IPB Cloud?

Hey there! I am a forum owner of 2 years and am currently using Xenforo forum software. Lately, I have become concerned about their slow development pace and have decided to check Invision out. I was wondering, do the importers that come with invision work well for xenforo? How would I go about migration? Lastly, is there a way to customize the default theme to have an image in the header, like what I saw on this forum?

Hi, I have a paid club which charge member $10 for initial month, then $10 every 30 days for renew. I run this club for about 6 month. Yesterday, I decided to raised the fee. I changed the price to $20 for joining in, $30 for every 2 month for renew. The new price for initial month is working, members need to pay $20 to join in but for renewal though, it doesn't take effect immediately? I tested it by login as a member who's membership was expired on Feb 28th. I tried to renew the membership, and it still shows the fee of 1 month $10. Does this pricing change only works for new members only? How do I fix it for current expired members? Thanks.

Thankfully our platform gets very little spam these days, but the odd one creeps on and 99.9% of the time they are always @gmail users. I have noticed in the last couple of weeks there are a lot of what I can only assume are Gmail spammers attempting to register on the forum as the image shows. From what I can tell they don't seem to validate their account, just register them. We have recpatcha v2 enabled and a basic security question in place. Is there anything else we can do to stop them registering at all? If there were not so many genuine gmail users I could of course just block the @gmail domain. But as I can't do that I want to try and ensure we do all …

Is it possible to use a Pages block in ads? For example: I have a block "sunshine" with html code and want to show this block behind the first post in threads. What's the right way to show? {$record->customFieldDisplayByKey('sunshine', 'listing')|raw} doesn't work 😞

Hi, I have a renewal pending for two third party apps in one invoice, and I cannot find the way of just renewing one of them. They are Links Directory and Classifieds System. Given the latter seems like it has been abandoned, I don't think paying for a renewal will bring any benefits. Could you please disassociate these two orders? (Or let me know if I can do this myself). Thanks.

Hi all, I'd like to use a custom payment gateway that's neither Stripe or PayPal. Commerce allows me to create a Manual new payment method, but it gives me a WYSIWYG editor to write whatever I want, however I'd need to embed some HTML code from my payment gateway of choice. Is there a way to do it? Custom blocks maybe? Thanks!

Hi guys Noticed this update in the latest 4.7.8 version: Eager to try this out, I updated my community to the latest version. But I cannot see where the option to set past dates lies. There's no extra field in Database > Fields page, there doesn't appear to be any such date setting in Database > Edit, and editing individual records (either on the frontend or via ACP) shows no date field options. In fact, where in the previous version there was the ability to set a future publish date on a per record basis, this setting also now seems to have disappeared! Have all these options been moved somewhere else, or have I got a bug on my hands?

Is there a third party plugin to change the author of a Pages record? I think I've seen one for changing the date but I don't seem to find one for changing the author. (Of course there's one or more for changing forum posts authors though). In the absence of one, is there a safe way of doing it?

Just like the title says. I'm looking at a specific use case where the layout of cards for posts would be ideal. It does not seem to be an option or am I just missing something? Also, is there an option to change the number of cards in a row. It seems to default to 2. Can I change that?

Hi i have a question. Just received notice that i can upgrade my Cloud to 4.7.9 but noticed that it also says This beta contains changes to the PayPal and Stripe integrations, please proceed with caution if payments are core to your community. I am guessing this is a Beta 4.7.9 ? We use paypal and stripe as a core function of our Forum. Does that mean i cannot / should not upgrade? If this is the Beta 4.7.9 then when the finished upgrade comes out , we will be able to upgrade to it without any issues ? Warm regards

Is there a way to allow guess to vote on polls? I don’t want to have to create a separate forum for guests only just so they could vote on polls. So I was wondering if that’s an option to allow them. I looked around the admin panel but I didn’t see anything unless I’m missing something. Thanks.

Good evening, I have an onprem installation and I want to copy the live content to my test-instance. Are there any solutions? I didn't found something right now - maybe I didn't looked for the correct wording in Google. Or maybe can I just copy some table, like users, categories and content? I don't have much customised (only css, javascript, etc.). Thanks for your help in advance! Greetings Martyn
