I have attached and embedded an .mp4 video to a post in the forum. Now I want to embed the same video to another post. I try to paste the link to the video (the link starts with https://content.invisioncic.com/u324175/monthly_2024_07/ etc...), but the video is not embedded, it just pastes the link. Is there a way to embed it? Thanks!

Been trying to migrate from Wordpress wpForo 2.3.5 on mywiseguys.com to my Invision Community 4.7.17 with domain mywiseguys.net In short, I'm leaving the wordpress for some frontend BS work that have custom apps but anything community I want on invision community. of course it would be pretty awesome if you could register on one site and use the same username and password on both sites BUT not necessary. I do, however, need everything in wpForo moved/migrated to Invision Community to include attachments. I tried the conversion but it keeps failing with wrong upload path but I tried full path, just public_html path

I have been trying to follow your documentation https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/getting-started/migrating-from-another-platform/running-the-conversion-r211/ it doesn't say both installations need to be on the same (localhost) but trying to do the convert (migrate) from a remote to localhost doesn't seem to work but I would like confirmation before I go through all the work of trying to move my remote host (eventguyz.net on scalahosting) over to my preferred localhost (mywiseguys.net on a2hosting). Can you convert from remote Invision Community (4.7.17) to local Invision Community (4.7.17)? Another another question I hope I can find the ans…

I'm currently building a new website which lead me to trying out a bunch of different CMS systems including wordpress joomla drupal typo3 woltlab suite (articles) xenforo + xenaddons article management system winter cms I came to the conclusion that invision community despite originally being a forum software ironically has the best content management system. (Pages Application) Paired with the "Axen Article System in Pages Plugin" + some custom Tweaks it allows me to run multiple independent article/blog sections, each with different custom fields and blocks on my website. Something i simply cannot do with some of the other contenders. With ot…

Having a bit of an issue that I'm pretty sure is just something that I'm missing in settings somewhere, but for the life of me can't find it. 😐 We have banned accounts in a member group with specific settings (denying access), and it is set to not allow filtering by that group. But when you start typing a username in a Private Message or a tag, the banned names are showing up. Here's an example that shows an active username followed by a banned user. How can I get any name in the banned user group to not show to the public in this way? Thanks!

Are there any available settings for the NSFW filter Invision has now? Once you click "view anyway" on one image, it removes the filter from all images marked NSFW and it doesn't come back unless you clear your browser cache. It would be preferable to have the filter pop back on once the user refreshes or leaves the page, so they can still browse the website safely without worrying about whether or not they remembered to clear their cache or if they recently viewed a NSFW image.

@Marc This is about the auto-complete field when you're creating a new PM. The member search when you type a name loads banned accounts: The member you see above is permanently banned. The problem is the code in applications/core/modules/front/system/ajax.php that doesn't skip banned members when loading the results: /** * Find Member * * @return void */ public function findMember() { $results = array(); $input = str_replace( array( '%', '_' ), array( '\%', '\_' ), mb_strtolower( \IPS\Request::i()->input ) ); $where = array( "name LIKE CONCAT(?, '%')" ); $binds = array( $input ); if ( \IPS\Dispatcher::i()->…

(typically british don't you know lol) Does anyone have a solution how to get round this? how to encourage them in an automated sense? Cheers

I'm testing my new Cloud invision site before I migrate everyone. When I try to create a fairly long blog post using one of my test member accounts (at the member level), it gives me the following error message (see attached) and fails to create the blog post. Is it possible that there is a length limit on blog posts? I seem to be able to create blog post with the admin account no problem. Also, in the blog post editor, when I click the <> for the code box, why is it giving a member the ability to insert all sorts of code into blog posts (see second attached screenshot)? It seems like that is super dangerous?

Have been trying a way to either remove or change the default RSS feed link, as it doesn't provide any current postings. The link I'm referring to is the /?rss=1 as in my case, it only shows articles made back in May. I created a new RSS feed to give out but, I would like to change the default one to have it include current and future articles.

Is there a way to block spammers registering with email addresses like "de.nis.e.go.mez.19.8070@gmail.com"? Email addresses using periods in weird places all go to the same gmail address as if those periods didn't exist but often registration systems treat them as unique. My old system did so spammers abused this. Does Invision have a way to stop it? Eric

I noticed that subscriptions in Invision are not actually "subscriptions" products in Stripe. Given that, how does changing the price on a subscription in the admin of the cloud Invision affect current subscribers? Also, what if I want to run a free or reduced price first month trial on a subscription where I already have clients signed up on it? I.e. if I lower the first month price on an existing subscription, what happens to current clients? And what happens if I then get rid of the free/reduced price first month? Is each subscriber basically just treated individually? Thanks, Eric

If I want to set up subscriptions but no other types of products for my platform, how much of the rest of the "Commerce" set up do I have use? In other words, can I disable Store, Checkout, Billing and Purchase, Support and Referrals in the applications manager in the backend (I'm on the hosted solution)? Or are there some of these that are essential to keep turned on in order for Subscriptions to function properly? Eric

Everytime I try to download my list of members I only get like 30-40 rows instead of the full list. I have checked all of the filters and it seems to just be downloading the members on the first page of the list. There has to be a way to download the whole thing in one swoop right? I have almost 2000 people in here.
