Suggestions on how to fix this?

I have confirmed I have this enabled.

You would need to contact google themselves if you are having problems there still, after enabling that. The only reason you would be seeing that issue, is if the system is unable to use that part of the API

So, nothing changed with the beta? I have not touched these APIs in a long time. Plus, they are working, yet I see the ACP warning.

You need to Click on the Credentials button, login google account, and give a wider range of access to api key, so the "Place Api (new)" is also allowed.

Then acp-> system -> intergrations -> Google maps - Press configure services, and scroll to the bottom to see what permissions you must give.

Places API (New) is a new API required for 5.1. Google weren't very creative with the name for this, so it's almost got the game name as the old one.

I had the "New" one already, it's been there a long time.

Oddly, I did not have Geocoding API. I just added it.

Hopefully the notification goes away now.

If I paste from Gemini and there is a table, it is horribly misformatted on this site.

A mod can fix this by simply clicking the edit button, doing nothing, then saving. I won't do that so you can see what happens.

In tables, always use digits (numerals) for numbers rather than spelling them out. Using digits saves space, aligns columns cleanly, and makes data much easier to compare at a glance. [1]

General Rules for Numbers in Tables

• Use Digits Everywhere: Write all numbers (including zero through nine, which are normally spelled out in standard prose) as numerals (e.g., 4, 7, 0) inside tables. [1]

• Maintain Consistency: Keep the same decimal places, currency symbols, and unit formatting across all rows and columns in a table (e.g., use 10.00 or 10, not a mix). [1]

• Align Numbers: Right-align numerical columns so that decimal points and place values stack vertically.

Quick Comparison: Prose vs. Tables

Context	Example (Prose)	Example (Table)
Small Numbers (0–9)	There were seven cats.	7
Larger Numbers (10+)	We counted 42 dogs.	42
Percentages & Currency	5% of $10	5% / $10

---

If you are working on a specific type of document (like an academic paper, scientific report, or business report), tell me your style guide (APA, MLA, Chicago, or AP) and I can share the exact table formatting rules you need.

I hope you will release 5.1.0 with this as emergency patch if needed

This is notice of an upcoming PHP release, it's not tied to any specific version of Invision Community. In accordance with the PHP EOL schedule, I expect this patch release to be for 8.2/8.3/8.4/8.5

@Stuart

I'm experiencing an issue with IPS 5.1. I develop an application with IN_DEV enabled, and everything works fine. After building the TAR file and disabling IN_DEV, I get a template_store_missing error, even though the templates exist in the correct locations.

The only solution is to uninstall and reinstall the application.

Has anything changed in IPS 5.1 regarding template handling, or is this a bug?

I've noticed a lot of screen jumping when I hit reply. I got it a lot yesterday on my tablet and laptop on my site.

Now I'm seeing it on this site on my desktop. So, several operating systems and browsers.

When I'm in ACP and search for something like Reactions, I see I have three items in Settings, but it just keeps spinning.

Fairly powerful dedicated server.

Thanks, I've opened bug reports for these (we already had one for the AdminCP search!).

I am having problems with the clubs they are not adding correctly since the beta update when clicking forward arrow you just get wheel of death and it is not showing all the images uploaded or no images at all even though it states 37 images uploaded in the header is this something that is being looked at in the new update

Thank you in advance for any suggestions

Beta 3. When? 🙂

When its ready™. 😁

Seriously though, we wouldn't usually state exact points when releases are made. While you may see it very occasionally, its not the norm. We used to do this, but it simply ends up with "You said you were releasing today!" when we have to stall a release for some reason internally.

I'm using php 8.2, do i need upgrade it because of the new release or i can stay ?

5.1 has compatibility with 8.2-8.5

Does v5 support mediumint's for forum IDs? If yes: great, if not: could either the columns be changed to mediumint or the upgrader not enforce changing a larger int type to a smallint? 2nd option is a simple fix and would allow me to not have to patch it myself on every update.

Im very curious as to the use case here. You have more than 65k forums?

We have a large forum, with sub-forums per game: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/474568-inefficient-forum-listings

Invision topped out at 32,767 due to it being a signed column. Since you can also add forums to clubs, it's totally possible other installs can hit the limit.

As mentioned in your topic, I don't think that is within the scope of our normal supported or recommended amount of forums.

Customization is your best friend when you're looking to do things outside of our recommended setup! That doesn't mean you're wrong for wanting or needing to do things differently. It simply means we're stepping outside the boundaries of what we officially support or recommend. We're certainly not judging! We just want to make sure those lines are clear and you understand where support limitations reside. 🙂
