@Matt And? 🙂

Your first question: Yes, you can do that. I don’t know out of my head if it’s a default rule but if not you can add it in the ACP -> Members -> Achievements -> Rules.

@Adriano Faria the screenshots are getting physically deleted or are still there on your server but 404ed?

Are the screenshots deleted or just not found? Perhaps the URL is messed up and/or a character set problem? I tried it on my dev site (upgraded from v4, no issues. PHP 8.3).

Yes, you can do that. I did it. As no plugin, application or theme from v4 will work in v5 the only folders from your old installation you should care about are your uploads folders. If you have several different paths for uploads and/or for the application Downloads you have to keep them as well. And if anything goes wrong you still have your old installation as backup. Make sure you do a database backup as well before upgrading. So create a new directory, copy all v5 files into this directory and then copy all your uploads folders into this directory as well. If you have an external storage I have no experience with that. But then you should have all your uploads automatically, I guess.

Ah, my bad.

Thank you. So I can't store my files from Downloads outside webroot anymore?

Did you try reuploading the files to your server?

In Invision Community 5 there is a deprecation hint. Multiple file storage locations will be deprecated in a future release. It is recommended that you start consolidating files to a central location. Currently, I have all in uploads but my files from Downloads. This directory is outside webroot. What does this hint exactly mean? Only, that the multiple options Advertisements, Attachments, Badges etc. are moved to one directory or does it mean that the files from Downloads have to be moved as well? This is currently not in your deprecation tracker.

Why is it so difficult to write in the respective paragraph describing the new feature in which packages this is available? I have no problem with that. I just want to skip parts which are not for me.

Thank you for the info. I will switch to 8.2 for the next upgrade.

I get this for every Beta since Beta 1. My dev environment uses PHP 8.3.13

Just visited your site and all seems fine.

Besides Beta 3 I tested the upgrade on a copy of my main site and I always had a white page so far after upgrading when I opened my site. This is what I experienced and how I get it up and running. I didn't overwrite the files on the server. I deleted all the files and uploaded the new ones. Be careful: Don't delete your uploads/downloads folder etc.. On my dev site I don't care! I made sure the background task which is shown in the ACP was executed. I have a very small site and and I just clicked run it now. No, problems there. I cleared all the caches in the support section of the ACP. My main app is pages. After the upgrade I had to open every page and remove the used templates. Although, before the upgrade I switched to default templates this didn't help. I had to go in the the database settings and remove the templates as well. After these changes my dev site worked. Of course, none of the custom blocks in pages worked. But this I expected.

Done.

Well, I push this up again. Still the same with Beta 4. What is the purpose of this widget? 😄

Tried to upgrade my dev site from a backup of my live site and was able to obliterate my main site because being a dumbass. Forgot about the database credentials. Well, backups for the win, guys. All back to normal. The upgrade then went smoothly. But I had more things to tweak to get the dev site up and running with Beta 4 than with Beta 2 (didn't do the upgrade process of the live site with Beta 3).

In the Page Editor under Pages there is a Database widget which should let you add a Database to a page. So far, so good. But for me this is never usable. I know there is a condition that a database can only be used on one page. But for me there is always under every circumstance already an existing page. When I edit the database in ACP and delete the page name and save it the software just creates a new page for the database. On the other hand, I can't delete this page in ACP. The option in the dropdown isn't available if the page is used by a database. So how is this supposed to work? Am I missing something? 🙂

Your Images Widget doesn't have the tools which other widgets have. Is this intended? The four left ones are not there.

Yeah sure, but this is wasting a lot of space. So I need to find either a better spot or present the information differently.

See topic. Is this intended or do I something wrong? The new one shows only one image at the time.

For me as well. And I have a vanilla install. This was for also the case from Beta 1 to Beta 2. I don't think it has something to do with folder permissions.

It is not recommended to update your production site with the Beta unless you know exactly what you're doing. You usually don't get support for Beta software if something goes wrong and you have to fix it yourself.

I started the automatic upgrade process in ACP and it went through until the actual upgrade. So downloading, unpacking etc. worked. Then it asked me to do the upgrade manually. Provided a download link with only the delta files. I followed the instructions, downloaded the delta, uploaded the files, started the upgrade with the provided button and it went through. This is just for information.
