I have Database #1 where cross-linking from a database relationship field in Database #2 is enabled. The items in Database #2 are imported via RSS. While configuring RSS I have set a database-relationship field properly. Result: the items are imported, and the database relationship field is filled as desired. But there is no cross-linking for the imported items. I have to open and resave them to get the cross-linking shown.

How to reproduce:

1. Create a Database #1
2. Create a Database #2
3. Add a custom database relationship field to Database #2 referencing Database #1
4. Enable cross-linking for the field
5. Import records via RSS (AdminCP -> RSS Import) into Database #2, set the database relationship field to some record in Database #2 while configuring RSS import
6. Issue: See the records in Database #1 after RSS import, there is no cross-linking
7. Open a record in Database #2 and save it without changing it. The cross-linking appears.

I am trying to bypass the permission issue for reciprocal items. I have created a new field to pull and display reciprocal items on my own. The Display Custom Format:

{$record->_title} <!-- This works and return the title of the actual record -->
{$record->database()->database_id} <!-- This does not output anything -->
{{$reciprocalFields = $record->getReciprocalItems();}}
Linking items: {$reciprocalFields} <!-- Empty as well, although there are two databases linking to this one -->

It seems, I can have attributes of the record in Display Custom Format, but cannot have a value returned via the method. Right?

Question: how do I get the reciprocal fields into the Display Custom Format of the custom field? 

What about Zapier? https://zapier.com/apps/monday/integrations/invision-community

I'm still young in my mind. Does that count?

Show me your Insta and TikTok profile, then we'll see how young 😄

the people consume the content and then return to Twitter to comment on it rather than register and comment directly at the source.

Why should they register for comment if they comment without registering on Twitter? I would not. What are the advantages of being registered on your source? Except for being able to comment? Getting new stuff? You offer it on Twitter, so no reason. Being able to comment, they can do it straight away on Twitter without registering. 

So, what is their benefit? What can they do on your source that they cannot on social media? Please, do not see it as accuse, this is a real question, WHY should they? What is the added value for them to be registered with your source?

This may seem like nitpicking and IPS may be more focussed on business clients,

This is not IPS that focused. These are forums today. They are mostly built around products. Hobbies have mostly moved to social media. That's not IPS fault. That's just where the journey goes. Young people do not bother to learn something about servers, FTP, installing (paid!) platforms, maintenance, and so on. They just register on Insta, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok and have the most things for free, starting at the moment where they have registered. 

Businesses are interested in forums to get their communities to support and advertise their products. Businesses have understood that they have little control over their "communities" on social media. So they move back. But hobbyist not.

Are there guides for "building your first Pages" database?

Sure https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/suite-applications/pages/460_basics/building-a-recipe-section_360/

Pages are extremely useful. 🙂 This is the reason I stick with Invision Community for years.

I'd like members to have a simple page to go to with a date picker and a field to track miles. 

Create a database with date and number field. Allow users to add data to the database. This is pretty out of the box.

Maybe a couple of other fields as some people track hours at the gym, or walking / running miles.

Add as many fields as you like.

On 6/25/2022 at 8:20 PM, Square Wheels said:

Then there is a page to view the total for a year, and maybe the top 10 members in each category?

This is the only thing that must be done via PHP block with some PHP and SQL.

In record feeds or activity stream blocks, the number of comments is always shown. Even if the comments are disabled from the database.

Please respect the setting and do not display the number of replies for the database records where replies are not possible.

Woudl you be able to let me know what am i doing wrong here?

Please confirm, that you have attached Fxpages/images.js to the page with the database:

I cannot see it in your page source.

on invisionify.com I only see the image imported from IPS news. No title, no content.

I could narrow down this issue to CleanTalk. Initial RSS import after creating a new feed AdminCP works as desired. All subsequent feed items pulled via background task, later on, are empty. No title, no content. 

The issue is not reproducible on the installs where CleanTalk is not installed. Just in case somebody reports a similar issue. Support ticket #30537 by CleanTalk is created. 

Sorry, cannot reproduce it anymore. Goblins.

It actually displays the post twice: up and its original place. It doesn’t “pin” but it’s an alternative, no doubt. 

This is exactly what I have written. The recommend post is pinned above and then listed another time in the normal order again 🙂 

You can recommend a post, then it appears at the very top. Other replies will be listed below. Note: the recommended post will be listed another time along with the other replies in normal order. No plugin is required.

Due to the current issue with permissions described here https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/467645-pages-cross-linking-does-not-respect-permissions/#comment-2894626 I have decided to temporarily remove the cross linking from the database relationship field.

1. Opened a field for edit in AdminCP and disabled Cross link records? The cross-links are still there.
2. Purged the cache. The cross-links are still there.
3. Resaved the record. The cross-links are still there.

How do I remove these cross-links?

That is why I have an opt-in checkbox for bulk mails during sign-ups, but there is no checkbox for a drip campaign or similar uses.

While I cannot judge if it is legal or not, I have never seen any checkbox for drip campaigns on other websites. Never. I subscribe to a lot of tools and websites to test them out or get registered-only content. I see a lot of onboarding emails in my inbox (mostly ignored due to the lack of time). If they start annoying me, I just unsubscribe and never get any subsequent emails from there.

HAHA!! Well there is that.  I may have to look into the Bonsai service myself as I have been jumping around from thing to thing. Where you able to test the Sand Boxed Tier with your production community?

Just register and create your sandbox for free https://docs.bonsai.io/article/326-creating-a-new-account Use the data of the sandbox in AdminCP. It is a fully functional but very limited tier. Then upgrade to what tier you need.

@HDiddy even that, that you have written, is too complicated for me 😄 

I use https://bonsai.io/ for free (Sandbox) right now for one of my projects, to test it. It's pretty straight away, register, create a node with mouse click, enter the data in AdminCP, works. Now, I have to decide to what paid plan I  have to go with, that's why my question. I do not really understand what I need.

Can someone advice on these plans for Elasticsearch? Are docs = number of posts, records, entries, images etc? What are shards, Read, Update? Explain it like to 5th grade please 😄

If the owner of the community doesn't trust them to login to their account, why should I trust that person to login to my account?

I do trust my moderators to login into member accounts to investigate the issues. But I do not want them to look into AdminCP with full permission:

• they should not be able to change something by accident, as they are technically unexperienced
• they should not be able to see payment history as this is not their business 😉

I wonder why you'd trust them to login as anyone

Use case: moderator logs in as member to investigate the reported issue. Helpful to distinguish if the issue is reproducable e. g. permissions issue. Or if not, then probably browser-based. This helps to instruct the user further. 

Indeed the moderator should be able to login as member only, not as other moderator and not as admin.

How to reproduce

1. Create two databases.
2. Add a field of type Database relationship to the first database linking another.
3. Enable Cross link records? for the field.
4. Create a record in the first database selecting the record from the second and set a record to be hidden.
5. Log out and open the linked record in the second database 
6. Issue: you will find a automatically created link XXX linking to this XXX in the second database. This links to the hidden record. 

The link to the record should not be shown to those how are not permitted to view the record.

It should be possible with Zapier.
