  1. I recently upgraded my forum to the latest stable version, and now I can't seem to edit my globalTemplate file (for both new and old themes). When I try to edit I get an error message that says that "this theme file could not be saved".

    I can change my custom.css file without any problems.

    Is there a new setting or something that I've missed? 🤔

    Alright, thanks!

    I'm doing a manual upgrade, but now I get this error message:

    Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes
    
    ALTER TABLE `core_attachments_map` ADD KEY `map_lookup` (`location_key`(250),`id1`,`id2`)

    What does this mean?

    Okay, so it seems my core_attachments_map table was in MyISAM. I converted it to InnoDB (see code below) and the upgrade process could continue.

    ALTER TABLE `core_attachments_map` ENGINE = InnoDB

    Edit: And my upgrade is now complete! 🥳

  3. I am trying to upgrade from v4.5.4.2 to v4.7.12, but two issues are stopping me.

    I'm currently running PHP version 7.4.30 and when I try to upgrade to PHP 8.1 to be able to perform the upgrade, my community and ACP eventually stops working.

    Also, once I run on PHP 8.1 (or 8.0) I get "database problems" that I can't seem to fix. My ACP says I need to run these queries:

    UPDATE `core_output_cache` SET `cache_expire`=0 WHERE `cache_expire` IS NULL;
    
    ALTER TABLE `core_output_cache` DROP INDEX `cache_expire`, CHANGE COLUMN `cache_expire` `cache_expire` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 COMMENT 'Unix timestamp of when the cache expires', ADD KEY `cache_expire` (`cache_expire`);
    
    UPDATE `blog_entry_categories` SET `entry_category_blog_id`=0 WHERE `entry_category_blog_id` IS NULL;
    
    ALTER TABLE `blog_entry_categories` CHANGE COLUMN `entry_category_blog_id` `entry_category_blog_id` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 ;

    But it doesn't help if I try to fix them automatically or run them manually. I still get a "database problems" message when I try to upgrade.

    What should I do? I am using the automatic installation process in my ACP. Should I upgrade from v4.5.4.2 to v4.7.12 manually instead?

    Use the Converter to migrate one site to the other - see https://invisioncommunity.com/services/migrate/, scroll down to the 'Platforms' section and choose "Invision Community....." to see what can be migrated.

    I'd like to merge an older 4.5 installation into a newer IPB forum, is that possible using the converter? And if so, is there a guide somewhere (I've tried searching but…)?

  5. When I try to change my licensed URL, I get this error message:

    Quote

     

    Sorry, there is a problem

    There seems to still be an installation of Invision Community at the URL on file. Before you can change the URL, you must first remove the existing installation.

     

    I've set up so that my old domain name re-directs to my new domain, could that be causing this?

  6. I haven't had the time yet to properly calculate what the new price increase means for my communities and weigh the different pros and cons of both the new changes and existing features and so on. But it isn't looking good. I'll probably start looking for alternatives which is sad because IPS is a splendid community software. But it's getting harder and harder to justify its cost.

    Hashtags are often mistyped further diluting the usefulness. Using your example, on twitter I've seen:

    #blacklivematter
    #blacklivesmatters
    #blm
    #blackouttuesday

    They are not mistyped (and #blackouttuesday is different from the rest), Twitter users are using different hashtags to keep the topic trending as Twitter doesn't allow one hashtag to trend for long.

    Something for this matter has been developed. For those of you who are interested to test it you can PM me (you will benefit of a discount for helping with the testing 🙂)

    Here are some screenshots of what we have so far...

    Please do let us know when it's available for purchase! 

  9. Interesting idea, but I don't think you can do this automatically. You could however set up a group called "founding members" and then use the group promotion tool to automatically move every user that publish one post on your site to this new group and then just remove that group promotion rule once your site reaches 1k members.

    Or perhaps there's a mod for it in the marketplace? 

     

  10. A couple of questions:

    • Is this plugin compatible with 4.4? If not, when is the ETA on that?
    • This plugin seems to work great with youtube, but what about others like Dailymotion, Vimeo, etc?
    • Does the reputation system work with this plugin? All I can see is that users can rate (star system) each video but I don't see any Likes.
