If I change to the new Classic license does it automatically install all the apps whenever I next download an update package? I only use Forums and Pages, I could possibly use Commerce but not interested in Blog Gallery or Downloads

Does anyone know if there's an add-on of some sort that will scan uploads for potential malware and/or viruses as they are uploaded? Preferably one that will auto-hide an upload and generate a moderators report if something is detected so that it can be investigated.

Hello. We're looking into re-opening our forums to new users and want to make sure the email is working. Questions: 1) If we use PHP as the delivery method, I assume that means it will send from an address like forums@ourdomain.com. How do we configure this? I don't see where we would enter the credentials on the forums. 2) Is there a better way to send emails? I see the option for SendGrid but not sure what that is.

Is there a way to edit the /tags/ folder or page(s)? It has a noindex hardcoded inside <head> and I am not able to remove it because I couldn't find template/block or anything related to this. Do you know where I could find and edit? (for example: https://community.nursa.com/tags/shifts) Thanks!!

Hi folks. Is it possible to get posts from Open Clubs listed in the latest posts widget? If so, how? If I change Clubs settings to show content areas everywhere, I only see the first post of the thread. I'd like to have posts from open Clubs showing normally in latest posts, unlike closed Clubs that show only for members.

I am looking for a possibility to offer paid articles on the site. The workflow is simple. The user creates an article in Pages database. It is hidden for all except for staff (pre-moderation). We (the staff) review the article. If it suits, the user can pay. The invoice should be generated. After the payment is completed, the article is instantly shown on the site. It should be a one-time-payment per article. If user submits another article, go to step 1. The challenge: The user should only be able to pay for the articles, we have reviewed. The invoice should be generated automatically upon reviewing of the article (status: r…

Hey guys, A very simple question, when images are uploaded to the IPS suite, is any form of compression undertaken? I am trying to eliminate an issue where clear uploaded images to the site (through adminCP as part of a custom award app) are appearing as it they are a lower definition. Of course this can be a server side setting or even the app in question, but I just want to remove IPS as a factor or indeed ad it as a factor for investigation. Many thanks, P

Hello, I'm trying to integrate Google Maps (website), but in API restrictions I only see 2 options. The Maps JavaScript API, Maps Static API, and Places API are not listed. I think I have followed the instructions correctly so far. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

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

Hello, I think these databases in clubs are really very well done. However, there is currently a bit of chaos because really every club member can write in it. Is it possible to set it so that only club moderators can write in it? Or let the club admins choose who can write in it. Kind regards, Vakarian

My forum is set up so that it requires manual approval of all new registrations. I think I used to get an email when somebody registered but I'm I'm. not getting them now. If I don't check in the admin panel very regularly, I miss them. I have looked and I[m sure it's there somewhere but can't find where to turn it on.

Hello, I'm building a new forum using IPS, but I forgot how to add a "security check" to the sign-up page. My old forum had it, as does invisioncommunity.com, but the new forum does not have a sign-up captcha. I tried to check the options in ACP, but there was only an option to use a Captcha for spam post prevention. This is my new forum, and this is my old forum and https://invisioncommunity.com/ 's setting for Sign up Captcha It would be great if anyone recall my memory for this captcha setting.. Thanks!!

Is there anyway to remove the dates from forum posts? See attached screenshot of what I want to remove. Or maybe there is a addon to remove this date? It's just so in your face and some forums are older yet still lots of valuable info in them yet people see the date and think its old info.

I know that physical item sales are being removed fairly soon and I'm wondering how can I link my community to Shopify so that only members who are subscribed to my community can use the Shopify store and the discounts being a member brings to them?

Hi, so I noticed I can make members off the forum an Admin, I would like to do this as a member has experience on building forums so the help is welcomed. Can I set it so when he makes any changes before there are active I can verify them first just to make so no changes happen without my say? Thanks Sean
