@Marc StridgenNow I find what @TimeTexasChrisis talking about. As an admin, why is it I can add images to an existing album but I can't do that as a regular member? I can't find the setting for that, or is there one? Here are two printscreens from the same club, each clicking on 'add images' and one shows the options as admin and the other shows the options as just a member

@Marc StridgenI'm using the demo and tried, I think, to do exactly what @TimeTexasChris described and I could do it. What option am I missing that isn't available? See the club on our demo: Images - XanderGrysen's Community (invisionservice.com)

aaha! Thank you so much for that enlightenment.

@TimeTexasChris Since I'm new to the 4.7 gallery, I have been trying all sorts of tests with the demo. I have been following your topic to help me understand what constraints there might be for images in clubs. I'm puzzled because in one club I created, I have two images without an album, then I created an album and added images, then I added another image to that album and then I created yet another album. Take a look: Images - XanderGrysen's Community (invisionservice.com) and you are welcome to register if you want to poke around - it's just a demo.

@JimM I understand although it is a bitter aftertaste since I have been paying for an IPS license all along. I realize you had to move on to 4.x and you wanted to create an incentive to get everyone on the new platform. All I can say is I am trying to upgrade but this is a huge thorn in my side. Are there any developers in the community who would be willing to look at this for a fee? Thanks.

aha! okay, I'll look at that the website and the ips board is back online but only because the hosting company restored the old server. the support guys are saying that there is a file buried deep in the ips files that is pointing to the old ip address. They promised to send an email detailing the file but it's been 2 hours and nothing received. I called support again and the new guy said that although he is not familiar with IPS products, given what I have said, that the website was operating on the new server and new records and topics were created, and that it went down when the old server was removed, that points to a hard coded connection string in some php file that points to the old server but still allows the new server to save data from new topics created. That is the most concise description I can give but clearly I need to find that setting in the IPS files to fix this.

aha! okay, I'll look at that

okay, I'll look at that but the weird thing is that for over 10 days, the new server and the copied db's were working @RandyCalvertI have the conf_global.php file open and everything matches except one item in your list isn't there at all: sql_port =>

Hi - I'm still on 3.3.4 and will be upgrading soon with the help of a third party expert. I was notified by my hosting service in July that my DV was approaching end of life. They did a migration to a new DV and gave me as much time as I wanted to make sure all the files had moved over. Yep, all was great and I used some form of a cmd on windows to ensure my installation was in fact working on the new server. yes. All set. For 10 days, everything worked wonderfully on the new server. Then I contacted the host and requested they close the old server. As soon as it was closed, I started getting a database driver error. See the attached image. I called the hosting service and relayed what happened and they said that most probably the database files have to be reconfigured to point to the new server. Anybody have any clues what files I need to fix? The conf_global.php file says localhost. I can open my acp right now. Thanks for any insights you might have.

this is what I see if I click on the "i' next to the allowed file types, and a similar warning appears if I go ahead and try to drag and drop or select a file

I'm trying to upload a video to the gallery using the demo. When I try to drag and drop or select and open, a pop up appears that says the only allowed file types are gif, jpeg, jpe, jpg and png. Is this a bandwidth control for demos? Your main gallery product page, https://invisioncommunity.com/features/gallery/ says you can upload videos into albums.

Okay, I now have the app installed on my phone by going to chrome and going to invision community. I found two routes to installing the application: one was a pop up note at the bottom of the screen and also clicking on the three button vertical menu icon at the top. So I found the application displayed on my phone. So this application is universal to any browser or does it default to Chrome? Can I change it to default to Edge?

Okay, I don't see that icon in the browser bar but I did find it by clicking on the three horizontal buttons and then selecting apps in the drop down, and then selecting 'manage apps.' Now I have a new tab that has 'Apps' on the left but what do I type in the search field? Then I had an idea - maybe I need to login to Invisioncommunity.com. I did that and then reclicked on the Apps selection and the Invision Community app appeared below the search bar. I clicked on the manage apps thinking that is what I should do. Suddenly there is no Invision Community and if I type it in the search apps field, nothing shows. So then I close that Apps tab, and repeat the steps again with the three horizontal buttons and Apps, and this time, when the Invision Community appears below the manage apps, I click on it and I am led through the installation process. Okay, so now it is installed. There was also a new window with the Invision Community website that popped up. I just assumed it was a wrong key stroke so I closed it. Then I went back the Apps setting, and saw the installed application and clicked on 'Open.' Again, a new window opened with the Invision Community website. So I'm still confused. Is this new window just another browser tab in Edge or is this somehow a special application that has other features? Next question: is there a pwa application for my android phone?

Still very confused. Are we talking about my mobile browser or my desktop browser? If you are talking about the mobile browser, no, I don't see that icon.

On my desktop, I use Chrome and Edge. On my Android mobile, I am using Chrome and Edge as well.

I'm using the 4.7 trial right now. I went to customization, icons&logos but I'm not sure I see any place to "fill in all the details. The only option is to choose a single file under application icons. I opened this community site on my phone and enabled push notifications for Edge and Chrome but I don't see any image to represent IPS on my mobile homescreen.

You will however need to ensure you have add the app? Wait, is there an app, or an application? I just logged into invision community on my mobile device and clicked on the notification icon, then clicked on notification settings, and finally, after scrolling all the way down, I find a note that I should click to enable for this browser. 'Enable' is very different than installing an application or an app. I'm so confused. I'm unfamiliar with Ambassador Spock.

In addition to the tags features for images, would it be possible to add a member tagging for the Gallery? Something like @Jordan if someone uploads a selfie they took of Jordan and he/she/they?

I know the 'app' issue has been beaten to a pulp and the ability to connect Invision Community to an app is fraught with technical challenges. Perhaps there is a workaround for an online app? I was reading about the BuddyBopss app, a social plugin for Wordpress, and this Wordpress Oauth SSO, https://plugins.miniorange.com/invision-community-single-sign-on-wordpress-sso-oauth-openid-connect Important note: BuddyBoss is the successor to BuddyPress. Would it be possible to use Invision Community as your main base but with this SSO, and using a Wordpress installation as just a stepping stone, essentially create an app for the Invision users?

ahhh ohhh great thanks!

Ah, okay. Thank you!

Hi - Thanks for the reply. I'm on the ACP right now, looking at Category Settings and it shows allow tags. Maybe a demo restriction thing?

I have searched the help guides, done Google searches, and scanned the support topics. Was tagging a feature that was added in 4.2 but removed later on? It doesn't show up now on the 4.7 demo. The help guides state that tags can be used for all content. Maybe that statement should be revised? Thanks

For those of us still in the dark ages, before the Republic, and the Empire, will our Mandrill Bouncer continue to function with Mandrill now "attached" to Mail Chimp? Using 3.3.4. Thanks.
