Nope, the verbose logging is expected and will be removed at a future point. 

Please disable the videos application and then check again, as this appears to be coming from that application

Im not sure how we can really answer the question over what is stated there. The scanner will scan for incompatible apps and disable  them if they are found to be an issue. If they arent, they would not be disabled

At present we are logging a lot of errors, which will be toned down in the next upcoming release of the platform. There should be no need to be deleting them every few hours. You can safely ignore these

I don't know what else we can do. We've given our marketplace authors about a year to prepare. We started releasing betas in May, and we posted the above in August; yet a lot of our marketplace authors seem unaware.

However, we do not want to cause our clients a headache, so we're working on a way forward that doesn't leave you without apps and plugins you need.

Invision Community 4.7.2 now features a third party application and plug-ins PHP 8 compatibility scanner.
Please read this post as you may find applications of plugins disabled after upgrading.
Why do we need this?
The underlying programming language that Invision Community uses is PHP. The latest version, PHP 8 was released in November 2020 and features many breaking changes and incompatibilities that are not backwards compatible. Some of these changes mean that what was a harmless silent notice, is now a fatal error which would mean that if you upgrade with incompatible code, your community would throw a fatal error which results in either a white screen, or a server level error message in your browser.
These fatal errors cannot be captured by Invision Community and managed. The fatal errors are deeper in the execution chain.
PHP 8 has been out for close to two years, and PHP 7.4 is 'end of life' and security updates will cease from November which means that it becomes insecure, so everyone will have to move to PHP 8 very shortly.
What is it
The compatibility checker examines all third party applications and plugins that you have added from the Marketplace.
We encourage our Marketplace authors to test with PHP 8 but not all do, and as such applications and plugins that work fine with PHP 7.4 will fail with PHP 8.
The compatibility checker scans all third party code for issues that could cause fatal errors, and if it finds them it will disable the application or plugin on upgrade.
The only way to re-enable the application or upgrade is to update it to a 4.7.2 compatible version from the marketplace.
Can I re-enable disabled third party plugins and applications?
Yes, if you are confident the plugins and applications are fine to run with your current PHP version then you can re-enable them until our November release which will then enforce the disabling of applications.

It's worth reaching out to the authors of key plugins and applications to see if they have a PHP8 compatible version available, or plan to have one by November so you can prepare for the November upgrade.
Is this really needed?
Unfortunately yes. PHP are making bold changes that are not backwards compatible. Invision Community is fortunate to have so many third party developers releasing apps and plugins to further enhance the feature-set, but we do not have direct control over this code. Our priority is to ensure that your site upgrades smoothly and remains online.
Why now?
We finally ran out of road. We have been working towards PHP 8 compatibility for a while, and we have encouraged our third party authors to do so too, and to test with PHP 8. We also informed the developers in August about the scanner and what it may do to their applications. We also have been releasing Invision Community 4.7 betas since May of this year to give them as much time as possible to update their applications. Enforcing this change is painful in the short term but benefits everyone in the longer term.
What else can I do?
Your self-hosting license allows you a test install which you should use as a staging site and test any upgrades on that staging site before performing the upgrade on your production site. This will enable you to capture any issues that may arise before you run it on your production site.

As always, we recommend that a back-up snapshot is taken before any upgrade so that you can easily rollback if you encounter any issues.
I'm using PHP 7, does this affect me?
Yes, the compatibility scanner will still run on the upgrade and check for PHP 8 issues so that when you do upgrade to PHP 8 you won't find that your community is no longer working.

Thanks for reading!

You can safely ignore that log if you don't have Commerce installed. Our logging is a bit verbose for this version so we have extra diagnostic information if needed and we'll be scaling some of that back in future releases.

One more thing. A quick shout out to @Adriano Faria who first thing this morning, and I mean first thing, was hammering out update notices on all of his apps. He's the only one that I've seen all day. I hope they all get approved quickly, but kudos for the immediate intervention. I hope that the other devs are also pushing updates, especially on the big apps that so many of us use!

yes

Now is ok (beta 5) - page works - but still many errors logs

Thank you for confirming. I have moved this to a ticket so we can take a closer look at what is happening. Please watch your email for further correspondence.

It's likely just for those logged in as an administrator.
You can download Beta 5 from the client area now, and upload the files to your server.

yes this will be fixed in the next beta.

Disable all plugins and apps  - now can run support tool -

Same issue here regarding the:

 
Also since I update to 4.7.2 beta 1, I have error about gallery/downloads (that I do not have these apps)

You are using PHP 7 at present, however we recommend PHP 8, and as it mentions in the message there, we are in the process of migrating to PHP 8 entirely

A huge thanks to @Rikki for everything he has done to help bring IPS to where it stands now.  It's always sad to lose a valuable member of the development team, but the man has to go where he believes he can do the most with his talents and to secure his and his family's future.  All good wishes and a fond farewell to this amazing talent.

Bon Voyage 🙂

Happy Hump Day, team! Sort of. 😔 
One of Invision Community's founding fathers, @Rikki, is amicably moving on from Invision Community to pursue another exciting opportunity. This is his last week with us. He has a few parting words to share with you:
 

Rikki has been an instrumental player in Invision Community's success; we're bummed to see him go, but at the same time excited for him to spread his wings. 
Please leave some well wishes for Rikki in the comments!

Speaking of the team, @Matt Finger wrote a new dev blog post touching on the PHP8 Compatibility Scanner, our Pre-Upgrade Resource Checker and a full change log for our upcoming September release:

And last but not least, 4.7.2 Beta 1 is officially out. Check out the release notes here.
See you in the replies. 🙏 

Adding custom icons is a bit tricky in Invision platform, but I will try to add some more options in future updates.
At the moment, there are pre-set icons and there is no option for add custom icons through theme setting. however all pre-set icons are listed in "_mvn_peacock_fonticons.css" and you can see how they work. for navigation links, for now best way is adding CSS class like this:
.ipsNavBar_primary a[data-navitem-id="xx"]:before {content: "\Fxxxx";} for data-navitem-id, you can find id of a link like this:

How add icons to navigation?

Yes - patch work ok and fine is now.

Well in this case I'm not sure it is even technically possible, since a Plugin/App will assign resources in all installed themes without exception. so if you want a plugin feature modify in a specific theme, the only way is manually edit plugin resource in that specific theme.

Of course the host says. 🤣
It’s a server error message. It doesn’t come from the IPS4. It doesn’t come from my resource. It comes from the server. There’s nothing special in the movies category form; it is like any other out there. It’s the same from Games or Books, obviously with some particularities. 
Well, I can’t reproduce. I can edit my categories thousand times and I have nothing logged. If you have something solid and steps to reproduce, tell me about it.
