We're building a private forum as an add-on to a membership site. I want users to log in there, rather than through the InvisionCommunity default login page. So far, that's working as expected. The only potential hiccup is if a user bookmarks the /login page itself. Is there a way we can redirect that page to our preferred login page instead?

Hi, After upgrading to 4.7.0, I also wanted to upgrade my PHP version from 7.4.x to 8.1.x.

I am currently on PHP 7.2.34 on VPS hosting. I would like to update to the new 4.7.0 software, which obviously won't support that PHP version anymore. My hosts are willing to update the PHP, but here's my worry. If I update the software first to 4.7.0, it will pick up I am on an old PHP version, and not do the update, right? If I ask the hosts to update PHP first, to maybe 8.0 or 8.1, then isn't my forum going to go down because my current version doesn't support that version of PHP? Would I then lose access to the ACP and not be able to do the auto software update? I am hesitant to start messing with code and uploading files again, prefer a nice easy way. So …

Hi. I am trying to find other placements of ads than are offered by the other IPB ad configuration options, and have tried to implement the Manual Ad Placement. But I am not getting any result when saving the changes to the template, according to how I interpret the recommendations in the related IPB guide. If you did get this to work, could you please share an example of how you place the... {advertisement="KEY"} ...in your template code? Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to reproduce this on my website: https://codepen.io/oloman/pen/ExvKJN I copy the css code in the custom.css file of my theme, then I copy-paste the html code in a post of my forum. This is the result I get: I correctly see the spoiler button and the first time the button works fine: I click on the pink "Spoiler" button and the text appears. But after I update the page, the text in the spoiler is not hidden anymore, if I cluck on the Spoiler button it gets grey (as it should be), but the text insie the spoiler is not hidden anymore. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Hi, I have this issue since I update to the newer versions of IPB: It was working fine before, but now I can't get passed this page. I tried to add the needed file to the folder and gave it 755 permission but that didn't help.

I have a cycling site. I'd like members to have a simple page to go to with a date picker and a field to track miles. Maybe a couple of other fields as some people track hours at the gym, or walking / running miles. Then there is a page to view the total for a year, and maybe the top 10 members in each category? For now, I'm doing all this manually. There is a long thread where people post their daily info and I edit the first post. Thanks

I am moving my site to an unmanaged server with Centos 7 and Plesk. I've already had the sever reloaded twice now to correct my learning curve problems. Now, I have been googling until my eyes spin to correct the last issues. I am only moving my dev server at present, until I feel I have good enough knowledge and control to move the production server. Any help with the following would be greatly appreciated: The above two errors were received attempting to update to the latest Beta edition. The second prevented the update from continuing. Both are related to the next image: Curl is enabled.... not sure what to do. I can find all kin…

The below error is what I get when I try to import the entire DB. I'm having to import each table separately because the limit in the php.ini file I need is insanely high and I don't feel comfortable changing it. At least that was the only solution I could find in my google searches for this error in the past. Is there a quicker way to do this? PHPMyAdmin says there are 6 pages worth of tables (with the default setting). That is insane.

This isn't a question, but a review of what we did to enable ElasticSearch self hosted with the IPS v 4.x system. It fills some gaps that aren't clear in the documentation. The thrust of the IPS docs suggest that users simply "get the details from their hosting provider". Buf if you tinker/or are self hosted, you might find this more useful: The process for setting up ElasticSearch and configure the ACP to use it instead of MySQL is straight forward. As per the ACP the version of ElasticSearch to use is between 7.2 and less than 8.0 According to the ElasticSearch site the range of versions in that domain of versions is listed here: https://www.elastic.c…

First off, I am surprised I have to even request this. It should be a concern for Invision community to provide that their soft has great UX. But even this forum on mobile has tiniest font I have ever seen anywhere for mobile. Second, when I looked in admin where to increase the post text size, it was nowhere to be found. Asking admins did not help either. It turns out such a mundane thing is a theme customization to be ordered from them :((( I assume it should be some line somewhere in CSS that can take care of this. Please advice where to find it. Thank you beforehand. I am already given up on the administration of this forum. From my experience wit…
