    Ryan Ashbrook got a reaction from dutchsnowden in TESTINSTALL - wrong license entered?   
    Looks like it might be a bug in our licensing system when using the test install key, but you don't actually have a live URL set for the license yet.
    I'll look into this, but in the meantime we can clear that for you whenever you are ready. 🙂

    Ryan Ashbrook reacted to Arizona_ACE in Shout Out to Marc Stridgen   
    Just want to publicly say "thank you" to Marc for hand-holding me through some recent administrative transitions on our forum.  The process took about three weeks overall, and Marc was extremely helpful and patient with my steep learning curve and frequent (sometimes banal) questions.
    Thank you Marc, you rock! 👍 🤩

    Ryan Ashbrook got a reaction from The Old Man in How do customers follow updated products in Commerce?   
    Yes, you can simply disable normal members ability to post paid files, and then simply link any you post to a corresponding Commerce product. What you are describing is precisely why it was designed this way. 🙂 
    Also, fun fact, we did actually use this but when IPS4 was developed and released, we needed a custom build system for it, rather than just offering the same download to everyone.

    Ryan Ashbrook reacted to Jordan Miller in HumpDay: Similar Content, ActivityStreams uses Elasticsearch   
    Happy Hump Day! Wanted to pass along some exciting developments. 
    We've been wanting to improve our search capabilities within the platform. We started by adding more Elastic Search functionality in a few areas on our own community.
    For example, in the sidebar of our topics, you'll notice the previously-existing 'Similar Content' widget. It now includes Elastic Search to offer, hopefully, a better list of related topics for you. Essentially what it's doing is looking at a topic title and finding similar words in other titles, then ranks the most relevant (previously it was pulling by tag). 
    Here's an example. This topic includes Cloudlfare in the title. This is what shows in the Similar Content section on that topic:
     

     
     
    Activity Streams in our community also take advantage of Elastic Search. 😊 
    Feel free to poke around our community and let us know if it's functioning great or whether you're seeing something odd.
    We want to see how things perform and would love to hear from you.
    Now for the juicy platform updates made in the last 7 days:
    - Fixed the duplicate rel attribute in the facebook share link.
    - Fixed a missing search keyword for block caching.
     - Fixed some missing rel=nofollow attributes on add new content links.
    - Fixed a niche issue with the Marketplace interface showing an entity instead of dollar sign in some browsers.
    - Removed no longer used sitemapLinks functions.
    - Fixed an issue where pagination links could redirect to the wrong location when using Blog categories.
    - Fixed the design on the Zapier Integration page and added the clipboard copy button for easier data copying.
    - Fixed an issue where RSS feeds were unavailable to readers when the site is not available to guests.
    - Fixed an issue where it was possible to have more than one Subscription at a time.
    - Fixed an issue where it was possible to have more than one Subscription at a time.
    - Fixed an issue where using a Yes/No custom field as a purchase identifier caused an endless loop.
    - Fixed an issue adding products to an invoice via AdminCP when it contains a Miscellaneous Charge.
    - Fixed an issue displaying stats for "Solved Topics by Forum".
    - Fixed an issue where 'webp' was missing from the mod_rewrite rules.
    - Fixed an issue where removing all followers of a content item does not immediately update the count.
    - Fixed an issue where banned users show in @mentions.
    - Fixed an issue where the 'rel' attribute content rebuild may break embedded images. Re-run to fix.
    - Fixed an issue where report center links may point to a container rather than the reported item.
    - Fixed an error on posting due to followers in specific situations.
    - Fixed an issue where the content promoter would get a badge instead of the content author.

    Ryan Ashbrook reacted to SecondSight in PHP version and community not working...   
    Thank you. 🙂
    I ran the script after "upgrading" to PHP 7.4 and it told me what is missing :
    - cURL PHP extension
    - GD PHP extension
    - MySQLi PHP extension
    - Zip PHP extension
    - Exif PHP extension
    I will have them installed and I think it will be ok. 🙂

    When you upgrade, upload the requirements checker and it should tell you what is wrong.
    However, based on my experience with cPanel / WHM, it's likely that the mbstring extension is missing, so you would need to enable it in the version you are upgrading too.

    Ryan Ashbrook reacted to Jordan Miller in Hump Day: (some of) the team is together, 4.6.7 Beta is out!   
    Happy Hump Day, fam! 
    I'm bringing this very special Hump Day post from our headquarters in Lynchburg, Virginia.
    @Ryan Ashbrook, @Matt Finger, @Marshall Slemp and myself flew in from all over the U.S. to join forces with @Charles, @Olivia Clark and @Rikki to A.) meet in person and B.) dream up some exciting new projects!
    Spoiler alert: we have some pretty exciting things in the works! Olivia is helping us channel our creative energies into effective workflows. Seeee?
     

    Speaking of projects, have you had a chance to check out our website refresh? I'd love to point you in the right direction 😏  namely our Innovate section. It's beautiful 🥲 . Curious, what are your thoughts?

    Next up is 4.6.7 Beta 1... it's available now! It includes our new Activity Streams subscription feature, extended Closed Clubs functionality and Stock Replies!
     
     
    And if that wasn't enough Invision Community magic, check out a list of updates/fixes we've knocked out since we last spoke:
    - Fixed an issue where converted mentions may contain a static URL (breaking them if you change your domain).
    - Fixed an error that could occur if the Converter tried to delete a content link.
    - Fixed an issue with tag statistics immediately after a conversion.
    - Fixed a niche issue where an error could occur if a PayPal Subscription notification arrives after the Subscription is cancelled.
    - Fixed an issue where it wasn't possible to edit a subscription expiry date.
    - Fixed an issue that could cause a slow query to run when sending email if a large number of emails have previously failed.
    - Fixed an issue with the Frontend Theme Editor occurring with PHP8.  
    - Added Stream Subscriptions.
    - Fixed the broken "Buy" link inside file embeds.
    - Fixed an issue with some topics not being hidden (but their posts were) after converting from vB5.
    - Fixed a potential issue adding tags to content when using PHP 8.
    - Added the ability to quickly navigate between Node permissions and Group permissions in the AdminCP
    - Made Profile Completion steps non-copyable.
    - Fixed members REST endpoint responsible to award a badge.

    As a long time client who also spent several years on the staff side of things here, I feel like I have a somewhat unique perspective of Invision.
    I have zero issue with the price increase. Obviously nobody likes to pay more than they did previously, but I feel like I am still getting a good deal so it is fine with me. I actually prefer the annual payments, I do it for my hosting as well. 
    When I was on staff, I saw how hard everyone on the team worked from the bottom to the top. Everything here was about making sure each client felt respected and treated equally. It didn't matter if you had a forum license only or every add-on in the book.
    I think the new support method will actually end up being something clients prefer when they see it in action. A lot of tickets were things that fellow clients would have been able to answer quicker. Now, you not only have those clients but you have the great Invision staff as well handling the inquiries. You'll also be able to look back at previously posted threads and maybe find your answer quicker than ever.
    If any company deserves the benefit of the doubt with this change, it is Invision.
    I look forward to many more years here and hopefully these changes let Invision continue to grow and improve.
