Square Wheels

Did you click the drop-down with your name / their name and click Switch back to... at the bottom?

I gotta say, this is a pain. I have to contact each provider, hope they have a site, then register, then keep up with many different sites. Over time, there will be fewer and fewer providers, eventually most of them will probably give up. Especially the ones that created one or two fun apps.

It's a neighborhood HOA site. The only allowed members live in this small community. Are there other downsides to clocking all other countries?

This will take a LONG time to add all countries.

Ugh, I was doing it all wrong. It was not intuitive. I thought I simply clicked save and it would populate a list. I needed to click Add. User error.

I had some custom work done. This developer was wonderful to work with. Great communication, delivered exactly what I was looking for, offered services at a very fair price, and provided clear communication. Highly recommended.

Am I able to see what countries I've blocked? In that example, I don't see Afghanistan on a list of blocked countries AND it's still in the dropdown to try to list.

So, I tried to add a country, it doesn't appear to do anything. Take a look here. https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/20732203?key=a642b1348d0449301b5ddf8b645a5a49

Instead of blocking countries using Geolocation Services, can only allow the US to be allowed? One of my sites is for my neighborhood HOA. There will only be members from my neighborhood.

While I greatly appreciate your help, I am shocked at how hard this is. I cannot figure this out. It is so convoluted and has so many steps. Your guidance has been helpful. I am very disappointed in what feels like false advertising here: https://invisioncommunity.com/features/pages/ IPS makes it sound like anyone can do this. There are hundreds of drag-and-drop options out there that also include database management. IPS has made this next to impossible for the average site owner to develop. For now, I am too frustrated to continue and will give up. @WP V0RT3X, you have been most gracious with your time.

Maybe a better option? https://www.sosinvision.com.br/index.php?/file/70-members-country/

Getting closer (maybe?). I cannot add the custom block. https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/20484729?key=6b6492459fa0ca0ed6f4a154916bda6d

I'm sure it was something I did incorrectly or a step I missed. It ended up looking like a forum with a few sub-forums.

Well, it seemed easy enough, I tried it and failed. The link is just what I'd like for one project. A simple page that has 3, maybe 10, items in the menu on the left, and a page of info on the right. All static, nothing that needs to be interacted with. It's to provide info only. Thanks anyhow. I am still unhappy with IPS's approach here. What I'm asking for should be simple to do. There should be tools built in to help me. I'm trying to develop content for people to consume, not learn CSS and JS. We have a "powerful tool" to create content, but it seems our only option to use this feature is to hire a programmer.

I believe @Charles said you will not be able to.

OK, how about releasing a guide on how you built your guide? 🙂

Hi, The first two things mentioned whenever I see someone ask for help is to update to the current version (makes sense), then turn off all third-party apps. Instead of me buying third part Pages apps, it would be nice if IPS were to include some usable examples inside the application. Or make something like the Providers directory downloadable for users. Thanks

OK, so this is where it gets very strange. The site was relatively new. I gave up on fixing it as I knew the S3 was set correctly. I asked for a restore from yesterday morning if they had it. It seems either they did, or they made another edit to the site, as it's working now, and images are moved to S3. Either way, it seems to be working now.

I'm not asking if it's available for download. Is there a guide for how to build useable tools with Pages?

Thank you. It was working fine before it saved the S3 settings. I was able to upload images and other items. I looked around and can't find guide documents that list what the file permissions should be. Do you know where they are?

I don't understand, there is nothing trying to write. I created the bucket, user, and keys. I entered the info. The first time or two, it seemed to need adjustments to the credentials, the third time I am pretty sure I got it correct. I never set any files to be saved there. As soon as I saved the credentials, I got that error.

I put in my S3 settings, clicked save, and now I can't access the site. TemporaryRedirect: Please re-send this request to the specified temporary endpoint.

Thank you. That looks nice. Since IPS sells this as part of their suite, I was hoping they had some guidelines on how to use Pages.

Is there a guide to help a user build a page like this? https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers-directory/

Where's the frowny face reaction? This should be part of the core.
