I am playing around with the badge / achievements feature and I have a couple of suggestions. I plan to award achievements from our desktop software program. It looks like the WebAPI supports this. It would be good to have a customizable description for badges, so the user knows what they did to earn it, besides just seeing the badge title, which is usually some kind of joke or pun. It would also be good to have badges that are a result of incremented progress. Like if I want a badge after the user creates 100 boxes, each time they create a box I would increment their progress towards the badge. This is how Steam handles some achievements.

You can create a feed block that lists members, and use this code to display their email addresses. Add the block to a page that only the admin has access to, load the page, and you can then copy and text the list of email addresses: <h3 class='ipsType_reset ipsWidget_title'> {$title} </h3> {{if $display === 'csv'}} <div class='ipsWidget_inner {{if $orientation == 'vertical'}}ipsPad{{else}}ipsPad_half{{endif}}'> {{if count( $members )}} <ul class='ipsList_inline ipsList_csv ipsList_noSpacing'> {{foreach $members as $row}} $row->email<br/> {{endforeach}} </ul> {{else}} <p class='ipsType_reset ipsType_medium ipsType_light'>{lang="widget_members_no_results"}</p> {{endif}} </div> {{else}} <div class='ipsWidget_inner {{if $orientation == 'vertical'}}ipsPad{{else}}ipsPad_half{{endif}}'> {{if count( $members ) }} <ul class='ipsList_reset'> {{foreach $members as $member}} <li class='ipsPhotoPanel ipsPhotoPanel_tiny cAnnouncement'> {template="userPhoto" group="global" app="core" params="$member, 'tiny'"} <div> <h4 class='ipsType_large ipsType_reset'>{$member->link()|raw} <a href='{url="app=core&module=members&controller=profile&id={$member->member_id}&do=reputation" seoTemplate="profile_reputation" seoTitle="$member->members_seo_name"}' class='ipsPos_right ipsRepBadge {{if $member->pp_reputation_points > 0}}ipsRepBadge_positive{{elseif $member->pp_reputation_points < 0}}ipsRepBadge_negative{{else}}ipsRepBadge_neutral{{endif}}'><i class='fa {{if $member->pp_reputation_points > 0}}fa-plus-circle{{elseif $member->pp_reputation_points < 0}}fa-minus-circle{{else}}fa-circle-o{{endif}}'></i> {number="$member->pp_reputation_points"}</a></h4> {$member->groupName|raw} <br> <span class='ipsType_light ipsType_small'>{lang="widget_member_joined_date" htmlsprintf="$member->joined->html()"}</span> {{if $member->last_activity}} <br><span class='ipsType_light ipsType_small'>{lang="widget_member_last_active_date" htmlsprintf="\IPS\DateTime::ts( $member->last_activity )->html()"}</span> {{endif}} </div> </li> {{endforeach}} </ul> {{else}} <p class='ipsType_reset'>{lang="widget_members_no_results"}</p> {{endif}} </div> {{endif}}

A couple of times they touched on using IPB activity as data in an automated marketing campaign, like if they haven't logged in in a while, send out an email. I think there's a lot of potential there. If you can collect and analyze data from all IPB communities that opt into data collection, that could help you get an understanding of customer behavior and how to get them to buy products based on behavior.

Since the coinbase crypto payment gateway is no longer supported, we have no way to receive payment from our single second biggest market, the Russian Federation, yet there is no law in place that forbids us selling to them.

The reason I bought this is to hide "About me" profile spam. A lot of spammers will register an account and then fill in the about me section of their profile with some meaningless spam and a URL. These links all over our website to low-quality domains probably hurt our SEO. I disallowed general members from editing the profile field in the settings, so that only paying customers can use it. However, the thousands of existing spam profiles are still appearing on our site. Is there any way to hide these without deleting all user "About me" fields?

Upgrade is complete. I disabled all optional addons and plugins during the process, then updated and enabled each addon one at a time, testing each one. The only issue I am having is that our store is displaying an error when you click on the "Software" category: /store/category/1-software/ This occurs even if all add-ons are disabled, using our own custom theme or the default IPB theme.

I would like an update for this. We actually have need for it now with the Russia situation. I have customers that can't pay any other way.

I uploaded the files, then navigate to /admin/upgrade, log into my account, pass the requirements check, and it asks for my license key. When I enter my license key it says: There is no mismatch between the URL listed in the client area for this key and the install location. They both match. How to continue? --------- Ah, I was missing "www." in the URL. It is working now...

All the requirements are met. So I should go into the client area, download "Invision Community.zip", and upload all the files, as if it was a first-time installation?

I am getting ready to upgrade from IPB 4.5.4.2 to the latest. First, I am upgrading PHP from 7.4 to 8.0. After I do this, I get a 500 Internal Server Error: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. I cannot log into the admin panel either. All plugins and extra applications were disabled before changing the PHP version.

This was suggested as a payment system by one of my would-be customers: https://xsolla.com/ It looks like this payment gateway is open to all countries and is not being affected by any sanctions. I don't know anything about them but they support subscriptions, which is what we use.

Our dark forum skin is the default with minimal changes and most of the colors picked in the visual editor. It's not very hard to do.

This is what I am saying I could create, a chat application that work with your forum system:

I've experimented with video hosted on our own site, and I wouldn't really recommend it for anyone running a smaller community. What I saw was a few users uploading gigs and gigs of videos that were basically all the same thing, with few views, so I ended up paying month after month to store hours of videos that no one was watching. I got rid of this feature and my S3 bill dropped back down close to zero.

If custom fields can also be populated in the post file end point, then that sort of completes the "circle of life". For example, we can have the uploading program calculate the number of polygons in a 3D model and submit this info automatically when the file is posted, then this data can be displayed in the application when browsing items.

I have had people recently asking for something like this, the ability to purchase credit on their account and send it to another account. Presumably this is because they don't want their bank or credit card to get charged past a certain threshold each month. We're moving to a subscription model. I have no idea how it would be possible if it weren't for IPB's good support of this feature in commerce.

Our application supports files dependencies. It would be better to warn the user before they download a file that they need to install another required file first, rather than to tell them after they download that the now must download a much bigger file.

Is there any way to retrieve file info for extra fields in the Downloads application? It would be useful to be able to fetch this data.

This code does it, but does not properly parse the CSS attribute, so if any other style elements are added it will fail: <?php function getBlogHeaderImage($url) { $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $page = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); // Remove some HTML elements $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->loadHTML($page); $classname="cBlogEntry_withPhoto"; $finder = new DomXPath($dom); $items = $finder->query("//*[contains(@class, '$classname')]"); if ($items->length == 0) return ""; $style = $items[0]->getAttribute("style"); $style = str_replace('background-image: url("', '', $style); $style = str_replace('")', '', $style); return $style; } $url = 'https://linustechtips.com/blogs/entry/2114-you-dont-want-to-use-a-linux-converted-chromebook/'; echo(getBlogHeaderImage($url)); ?>

This seems like the opposite of what it should be doing, because this end point does not accept an API key: https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=core/me/GETindex I am using the same code to access other API features with no issues. IPB 4.5. Edit: This is a generic error that also gets used if the authentication token is wrong. There's no problem.

It looks like the values for 'term' and 'unit' have been swapped, at least in IPB 4.5: https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=nexus/purchases/GETindex

I found that the date parameter in the REST API response for videos is returning an integer, but the rest of the IPB API uses strings for dates. This is preventing me from being able to sort different types of items in chronological order in my application.

I'm trying to create a visual stream of activity for my website and desktop application, incorporating gallery images, videobox videos, and blog entries into a single stream sorted by date. I have it all working except the blog entry header images. This is important, because the blog header image is what I plan to show in the background of the tiles for blog entries, making the whole system cohesive. I'd prefer not to post any screenshots of my application here, but it looks good and it's a really nice visual way to just take in all recent activity at a glance.
