My code: require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/community/init.php'; \IPS\Session\Front::i(); $member = \IPS\Member::loggedin(); The code only works if I put the php file inside the community (ipb) folder, otherwise it will show that no one is logged in and give the info of a guest. How can I fix this? thanks

Somewhere along the way, I must have tried messing with menu icons & can't remember how. In Menu Manager, I entered this: Which gets me this on the front end: Where is that other "page" type icon coming from? How do I get rid of it? Just incase, here is the Custom CSS for my theme: /** * This file is for your custom CSS. * This file is not modified or overwritten during upgrades */ /* ===[Filename:core/custom/superblocks.css]=== */ .SuperBlocks_line { border-top:2px solid {setting="SuperBlocks_keyColor"}; border-left:0; border-right:0; border-bottom:0; border-image: linear-gradient(to right, {settin…

Hello, I want to add an excerpt of the record in my custom feed (first 100 letters...). I can't find a variable to achieve this. Can anyone give me some guidance?

I am allergic to CSS, but I would also like to be able to tweak a few details (like align the navigation menu to the right instead of the left, and such). Is there any general guide to CSS that I could use? I can usually understand code that is given and tweak as needed, but I am not sure where to start with this.

Hi Invision Friends, I use my Invision site to manage a community of customers for my business. We want to start selling virtual training workshops, and I have been trying to configure the Store to streamline this process. For example, I have used custom fields to customers to choose dates, and we have limits on the number of items (Tickets) that can be sold per date. However I haven't found a way to easily create lists of who bought what workshop, or automate the sending of emails etc. I have subscriptions to Zapier, Hubspot and Zoom but the current triggers and actions don't seem to suit my needs. Has anyone else d…

Is anyone else seeing this? I am running AdSense with traditional static ads and with Auto Ads turned on. The setup worked perfectly with 4.7.0. After the upgrade to 4.7.1, any attempt to scroll to the bottom of a page with ads results in a browser crash. If I turn off Auto Ads in the AdSense control panel, the forum works fine. I can only assume that some change in 4.7.1 is conflicting with AdSense Auto Ads. Would be good to know if others are seeing the same thing so I can confirm this is the source of the problem 🙂

Hello - We received the following notification and checked with Cloudways if it is okay to change the format to "Dynamic". They recommended asking Invision Community if it's safe as they said that there might be issues in losing data. Has anyone here experienced changing the database format? What was your experience and what do you recommend? We are looking to create a backup of the database before CW will update it and in case something goes wrong, we will add it back (this way we will lose only a few records). Thank you, Denise

Hi - I'm still on 3.3.4 and will be upgrading soon with the help of a third party expert. I was notified by my hosting service in July that my DV was approaching end of life. They did a migration to a new DV and gave me as much time as I wanted to make sure all the files had moved over. Yep, all was great and I used some form of a cmd on windows to ensure my installation was in fact working on the new server. yes. All set. For 10 days, everything worked wonderfully on the new server. Then I contacted the host and requested they close the old server. As soon as it was closed, I started getting a database driver error. See the attached image. I called the ho…

Greetings! I've recently moved my forum from self-hosting to Invision's cloud service. Previously I was using a locally installed Elasticsearch server, and I'd like to continue using Elasticsearch or Opensearch going forward. I've already installed Opensearch and tested it, but it's not clear to me how to secure it with my now cloud-based forum. Obviously I only want to support connections coming from the forum, but with IPS using CloudFront, the IP addresses used by the forum are dynamic. I'd like to either use Elasticsearch/Opensearch running on one of my servers or Amazon's ES service if I can do so and it doesn't cost and arm and a leg. Either way, I wi…

Hello, I have recently updated my version to IPS 4.7.1, and then asked my provider to update the PHP version to 8.0 (from 7.4). Just like it happened when I tried to update to PHP 8.0 before (but I thought it was I still had IPS 4.6 version), here is the problem I face: Also, I can not access my AdminCP. When I click on mywebsite/admin, sometimes I get a blank page, sometimes I get this error message: Any idea why this happens? The provider sent me the error message (related to my theme): PHP Fatal error: Cannot use "parent" when current class scope has no parent in /var/www/vhosts/…
