Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted November 17, 20231 yr Some old attachments is absent. But I see request to this files in logs. How I can remove links to these attachments?
November 17, 20231 yr If you have the logs, you should be able to see the referral of what page requested it. You would need to edit the post that has it and remove the link. There is no setting that can do this automatically do this for you.
December 2, 20231 yr Community Expert That's a lot of files. Fixing all of them manually would be hard, indeed. The best option would be to somehow recover those files, but I assume that's not an option. The only other option I can think of is a tool to go through them and remove the links to missing files. There is no such tool in Invision Community, though. You'll have to write it yourself or hire someone to do it for you.
December 4, 20231 yr Community Expert There is nothing built in that can achieve this, unfortunately. As mentioned above, you would need something custom for this
December 10, 20231 yr Community Expert @Marc Stridgen I have IPS license. Could you help me directly? Sorry, we would not help with anything custom, no.
December 10, 20231 yr Some thoughts: - if the attachments are secondary to the actual post, it may be worthwhile to simply ignore them. The main content (the topic) is still present. - if the attachments are the main content, you may want to think about deleting / archiving / fixing, depending on how much effort you want to put in. Unfortunately, communities that have been online for many years are simply going to have broken links over time unless you control all attachments on your own server.
December 11, 20231 yr Author Sorry, we would not help with anything custom, no. What custom? In IPS already present function to remove attachments by size. What problem recount the size of attachments and remove absent?
December 11, 20231 yr Community Expert What custom? In IPS already present function to remove attachments by size. What problem recount the size of attachments and remove absent? There is no tool in Invision Community to do what you're asking for. That's why you require a separate custom modification.
December 11, 20231 yr Author I understood it. But if I buy Windows I will have checkdisk and another tools to fix it. Why I can`t ask support to fix my IPS?

Comparing Apples and Tomatoes here. You're comparing something that has tools required and needed VS. not something which is required or provided.
