Hi We have started to use Pages for normal articles. On our community we also have a separate system for "fishing fly database" built with PHP and just displayed using (a single) Pages. Users can add their own entries. This external database is relatively simple. It contain some basic data about a fly, a picture, in addition to 3 text-fields where in-depth information can be given (marked red). Now, I think I want to to remove this PHP-application I built and rely only on the forum software and regular Pages. I understand I can create a Pages database and set up some fields for the basic data. But how should I do it with these three in-depth information fie…

Usually I try and give anything a good search and try be working with configurable options but for some unknown reason, my brain just can't figuyre out the steps it needs to take to be able to have certain topics have a 'Solved' post in it 😅 I want to make more use of it and I feel like i'm missing a simple setting somewhere in the AdminCP that then allows Admins and Mods to select a post that 'Solves' the topic. Exactly like here. Also, would be good to know if you can have a sub-forum with topics that are just discussions and some that can be solved? I feel like i'm losing my marbles asking something reasonably basic for many of you, but I have to own up …

I have two questions, and can't find anything in my ACP about these settings. 1) What is googletag, and how do I enable it? 2) I understand what IndexNow is, and have upgraded to 4.6.11, but see nothing in my ACP for settings for IndexNow. Is this enabled automatically?

Hello. I can't seem to change or remove the logo on my site - the big infinity sign with 'All Things In' in orange in the upper-left. I removed all images from "Icons and Logos" so there is nothing listed, but the image still appears - and I have cleared my browser cache and even used a computer I have never used to connect to the site (so there would be no cached images) but it is still there - community.allthingsin.com - any advice to remove it? Also, what are the best dimensions for that image?

Is there any way for mods & admins to permanently hide users & their posts from one another? A bit like the ignore function that users have, but that admins can use? We have a few users that just won't stop antagonising each other.

I have https enabled and followed the Google account login tutorial. Now everything works until I select the Google account that I wish to sign in with. Then I receive a 403 error on the https://mysite.com/store/oauth/callback/?very_long_api_key* Currently the app's publishing status is product and user type is external. Also, the Authorized redirect URI within the Client ID settings matches what is shown in the ACP. I have doubled checked everything and am not sure what could be causing this. Any help would be appreciated! *Keep in mind this arbitrary text.

Hey Guys Just seeing if this is possible before i add Pages to my current forum. I would like to add a section to my site where i can add a form where users can fill out and it be saved to the sql database. The form will need to be an advanced form with sliders and be able to enter times and countries. I would then like to made another page that displays database entry’s and another page to filter results, for example filter data by country or time. Thank You James

Wondering if there is a cool integration of Invision Community with squarespace websites. I know squarespace uses Invision for their community (Squarespace Circle), so maybe there is some sort of integration I can take advantage of? Thanks

For some reason, when I create a new RSS, it wont let me choose the forums I want to include... So I have to go with all.... So when I use the RSS from my community forums in my company website, it also includes private content, from private, read only or closed club forums. Is there a way to change that, so that I only include public content in my rss? Help appreciated... I just fixed this by copying the rss link using a regular community membership, not mi administrator account.

Sorry for bumping this topic but I cant get the Facebook promotion in any way shape or form using the instructions from IPS. Creating a test app doesn't give access to permissions and my admin app cannot call the "manage_pages", "publish_pages" and "publish_to_groups" permissions cause it requires a business account app. So I created a business account app only to get stuck on "publish_to_groups" verification where Facebook requires you to upload a video of the function being used... Well, the function don't work without the permission so... And "manage_pages", "publish_pages" is still no where to be seen in any permissions by Facebook themselves according to this ar…

When I click on the Download Event as shown below a calenderevent.ics file is created. When I import the .ics file it creates an event in your email client as shown below: If a member clicks on "Accept", Tentative" or "Decline: one would assume that the response would be sent to the appropriate calander and processed. I don't believe that is the case, but I may be wrong. Does the calendar app indeed accept responses or not? If it does how do I setup my site to accept those responses? If it doesn't, why are you including the "Respond" options in the imported .ics file?

I need some clubs to be seen by community members but without their ability to see content or to request to join. That would be an "closed" club, and you have to be invited to join. Is there a way to remove the "Join club" button? Help appreciated!

Hi all, i'm finally getting so close to turning it on to be able to use it after making tons of badges and rules to hopefully make it an easier load on myself 😅 Many badges I have set up won't have rules however, due to either the function not having a rule available to hook on to and some being connected to outside of the websites functions. When giving them out manually, how do I do the following? Allow Moderators to help me by giving out Badges? Allow Moderators to help me by giving out Points? Create a Feed for the latest Badges Received? Any help is greatly appreciated. I always feel if you can hit the ground running with an awesome ne…
