Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 6, 20231 yr Hello Seems like the integrated Giphy app stopped showing Gif's , either when i search for something and even when i dont and just load its box , then it used to show some random ones but now it doesnt Any clues why ?
May 6, 20231 yr Solution Working fine on my online board: Check out the API key. If you use a custom key, switch to the public one just to test.

May 8, 20231 yr Please check that your server is still able to make external requests. It seems like something is erroring out there and thus, why you are not able to fetch any gifs in the overlay there.
May 9, 20231 yr Author Issue solved, there's some odd issue with the custom key and the setting to switch to the public wasnt saved thanks for the replies

May 24, 20231 yr Same issue here. We created a Giphy Account and added the API Key to IPS and GIFs were working again. We also tried to switch back to the public but its not working .. only with custom API Key. Edited May 24, 20231 yr by CcM04
May 24, 20231 yr Tested locally in dev/test and also on my test and live sites... In short...the default key used by Invision has been banned (below test image is from this site, follow up images from my testing) If you pop a var_dump into the giphy function in the Editor module (core\modules\front\system\editor.php) as follows: You get this response: As this isn't picked up by the error check (as it is checking $request['message'], which doesn't exist in that response) it progresses all the way through to "No results to display" as the returned information to the front-end. Fix: switch to a custom key if you are using the default key provided by Invision. Edited May 24, 20231 yr by Nathan Explosion

With someone else's help i took the default key and entered it in the custom key field, it worked until recently, since a few days ago that stopped working and still neither did my old custom key so i created a new one Edited May 24, 20231 yr by Kenneth Baker
May 24, 20231 yr Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.
May 24, 20231 yr Thanks for pointing this out, created an account, all is well again. I rarely use this, didn't notice it was broken.
May 24, 20231 yr Where do I find the account key on their site? What a mess! 😄 I'm on Account Settings on their site and can't find it. --------------- EDIT: found it!

May 24, 20231 yr Management It looks like the key that our Giphy rep set up has now been blocked, likely because of the sale. I can reach out again but I think we'll just adjust the set-up to recommend you set up your own custom key.

Before setting up our own keys, should we wait for news/response on this issue?
May 28, 20231 yr Author Also, i'm not sure to what its related exactly and if something can be done but now at least on my board seems like the Gif's in the menu loads very slow
May 28, 20231 yr If you created a new key, there is a rate limiting unless you have had the new key approved by giphy for production use. Edited May 28, 20231 yr by Randy Calvert

Thanks for the answer With all this i think we got to the point where its not worth anymore to bother and get this feature to work and might as well just have it removed
