the db is restored, but the errors won't go away

apparently upgrade worked half way?

as we are trying to fix db, the site shows some errors that might be due to partial upgrade?

[[Template core/front/global/userBar is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]][[Template core/front/global/mobileNavigationIcon is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]
[[Template core/front/global/navBarItems is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

[[Template core/front/global/quickSearch is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

[[Template core/front/global/mobileNavBar is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

[[Template core/front/global/breadcrumb is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

when trying to go into admin page:

[[Template core/admin/global/globalTemplate is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

Hi

I clicked on the proposed update as always.  I think it was from 4.7.0 to 4.7.1?

Anyway, in the admin page it told me it needs to fix something in db and I proceeded with that.

As a result the site is broken.

The admin page says:

An error occurred (500 Error)

the second fragment above is actually from a topic thread

the index page error is this:

SELECT forums_topics.tid FROM `ibf_forums_topics` AS `forums_topics`  LEFT JOIN `ibf_forums_forums` AS `forums_forums` ON forums_topics.forum_id=forums_forums.id WHERE ( forums_topics.forum_id IN(2,49,65,34,43,63,67,28,29,30,31,4,39,6,7,5,11,72,8,35,10,70,13,44,45,46,47,48,26,12,14,15,16,36,21) ) AND forums_topics.state='open' AND forums_topics.approved=1 AND forums_topics.approved!=-2 AND forums_topics.approved!=-3 AND ( NULLIF(forums_topics.moved_to, '') IS NULL ) AND forums_forums.can_view_others=1 ORDER BY forums_topics.last_post desc LIMIT 7

Please check your file storage configuration as it looks like there are references to a forum7 sub-domain which is providing mixed results. Additionally, I am unable to load your community currently due to a name resolution error.

Where is file storage configured? I am trying to get rid of this subdomain. Today we did curl redirect, but instead now I have problems with the menu button in the mobile view. Not sure if it is related.

Hi

I encountered a new problem on the forum that appeared out of blue.

When going to forum on a cell phone, I can see that there are notifications. So I click on the menu and instead of opening up, it just adds /# to the URL and doesn't change anything else

See the screenshot

Please advice.

thank you! It resolves now, but still broken.

Hi

Per recommendation of Invision (the new version said 7.3 is not supported), I migrated my forum to new server first with the same version of php (and it was working fine) and then I updated to 8.1 and the forum immediately broke down. Reverting back did not help. Please advise!

See the screenshot attached

What you are asking for is in assistance with modifying your theme. It’s not something officially supported. While you’re welcome to do it, they don’t provide technical around it. 

The “Community Support” forum that you’re posting in is for user-to-user help. 

The official support area monitored by staff is at:

https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/497-help-support/

However again they don’t provide support around customizing the CSS or editing themes etc. 

I opened the topic actually in the Help, but they moved here, I guess.

What I don't understand is that here there is a space from the post I am quoting, while on my forum it basically merges. And I haven't done any customization on this. So it is basically a bug that they don't want to address.

As mentioned by Randy, there is no "undo" for member deletion. A database backup would need to be restored which contained the user (and potentially their content, that also was deleted). Please note: restoring the backup will revert your community back to the point where your community was at the time of the backup, you will lose any content/settings/etc..

Well, I am glad my server admin did not think it is impossible. He managed to bring all their contents and settings from a week old backup to the working current version without the community losing any content. He had to write some custom script for this though.

Does telegram support oembed?

If the answer is yes then yes, you would be able to add the oembed endpoint using this application

If the answer is no then the iframely integration of this app may support the functionality.

Provide an example link.

Thank you!

See example:

https://t.me/bloodysx/20444

embed code looks like this: <script async src="https://telegram.org/js/telegram-widget.js?19" data-telegram-post="bloodysx/20444" data-width="100%"></script>

Can telegram posts/videos be embeded using this?

Can you embed telegram posts with this?

Can you embed telegram posts and/or videos?

Hi, 

Is telegram post embed supported? I tried and did not work.

If not, I was wondering about the reason, since Telegram is now probably top 5 most used social media and has so much content.

Also, is there a temporary workaround for this or any customization?

Does this app allow for telegram post integration into invision forum?

This is not simple bug. This is a major nuisance. I am not able to re-arrange forums. Any urgent advice on this is appreciated.

My admin deleted to user accounts by accident, while she was trying to revoke their moderator status. Is there a way to restore?

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 with other softs, once a software goes on trajectory of unpredictable price hikes and worsening the service, it is time to look elsewhere before facing bigger problems and losing community.

No response 😞

I was told by admins that even though they have removed the ticket support in client area, they respond in community forum. Or did I misunderstand and it is different place in forum to get their attention?

Or IPB is dead and I should be looking for another soft to migrate to?

Hi, after the latest update the distance from a citation (quotation) box to the next text has practically disappeared and makes it hard to read text and is generally not visually pleasant.

Please advice where this setting can be changed. Please see the attachment 

Thank you beforehand.

Hi, 

this plugin has worked well for me, until I decided to move forum to https

Everything moved well, except there are four items that IPS support identified as related to this plugin that has hard link to http still.

Mixed Content: The page was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://sitename/uploads/set_resources_1/84c1e40ea0e759e3f1505eb1788ddf3c_flags16.png'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

Mixed Content: The page at 'sitename' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://sitename/uploads/set_resources_1/d0e70b4cbb9ab8afb1bc1065a3f8487a_subitem_stem.png'.
