I did have this thought as well as I activated it, because I couldn't actually see the Community Hive button anywhere on the site once set up.
But the button does appear for Guest users. So I imagine Community Hive is more for targeting non-users of your community (visitors), as another means of staying updated on your site's content. But maybe I'm missing something here.
(By the way, I found that I couldn't upload my community avatar on the CH website on Chrome browser either, but it worked on Safari. Maybe try a different browser)
@Matt random question about the interface for Community Hive - will there be elements of this that will also make its way to Invision Community V5? The  'social media-style' "following" and "discover" feeds on the main homepage is something that I think could be used to re-imagine the Activity Feed a little, by giving users a UI that they are familiar with. Just curious.

Thank you so much for being a client!
The Invision Community Marketplace is closing on October 30, 2023, so I am moving all of my files over to my personal site www.sosinvision.com.br.
You will find information on my website www.sosinvision.com.br:
You can redeem the marketplace purchase keys provided by IPS in order to keep getting updates and support for the applications/plugins you purchased. You can purchase files directly on my marketplace. You can get support for your purchased applications/plugins directly on their new support topics. You can request a custom application/plugin or service. Bookmark https://www.sosinvision.com.br/ and the new Marketplace Directory www.Invisioneer.org.  

Thanks for clarifying, Matt. 
Now I just need to fix the logo situation on the Hive and I will be happy to make the announcement to my members. 

I've replied to FZ in the ticket, but a few things to mention here that we'll improve on:
1) The sidebar widget will only show if you are not subscribed to your own site via Hive. You (the admin) are subscribed automatically during set up, so when you drag in the Hive widget, it won't show for you - but it will show for others. It's a bit confusing but if you log out (or use a private browser tab) you'll see the widget in all its glory. We're looking at ways to improve this so you get some kind of message if you are subscribed.
2) We're working on onboarding to reduce confusion. The site was added and it is pulling in data. I've left a recommendation for FZ on how to log back in.

Well …

Love the idea. It's just another site/forum/place to sign up to. You've got to drive people to this place...

I've joined to get an idea. But, my god, we've got to beat FB somehow.

Hm, I can see why IPS made this change but to be honest, asking clients to seek custom app/plugin development is going to be a lot more expensive than finding an app on a marketplace that many customers will be able to purchase. I guess it will make me a lot more hesitant to spend my money on third party apps.

Ah, indeed it does. However you would simply click on no after changing the first setting, as you can changing further settings

You would be looking to change the meta tagsin that case. Take a look here

I ran the updates anyway and it all seems fine, even without the latest Behemoth version. 

Hi,
i have updated this theme to support the latest version now, please be patient as it gets approved.
 
I'm sorry for the late reply i wasnt on a vacation! its just real life gets in the way sometimes. I will try my best to visit here on a daily basis now just like i have always done!
the good thing is ONLY globalTemplate and navBar template is edited in this theme. most of the time you can just ignore the warnings because its not nessesery required to update the theme for each IPS update! those two templates are not always modifed by ips, for example from ips version 4.7.3 until today only globalTemplate was modifed and they only removed the viglink template tag in it. you can check it here https://invisioncommunity.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=plugins&do=diff
 
You can also update the theme to support the latest ips versions yourself in a couple minutes, you dont need any coding knowladge 
heres what to do
first check the theme differences here https://invisioncommunity.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=plugins&do=diff ...you will only need to search for globalTemplate and navBar template and see whats new. if you dont find these two templates then ignore the update warnings.
If you see these templates modifed, then you need to apply the changes to your theme here to ACP -> Customizations -> Themes -> Edit HTML and CSS 
 
 

To be honest, I can't see this IPS platform as remaining a sustainable one for the small communities out there. The asking price for everything is way too high and now that the marketplace devs have adopted this teat-latching subscription model, all I see happening is that when "new" IPS things come out they break the old things that were working just fine and then we are expected to pay again for something that hasn't really changed other than to comply with those other things that didn't need to change in the first place. 
It's a form of software socialism and I have come to the end of my tolerance thereof. 

@TAMAN  Could you please give us an update on this?  

Correct.

We can create some really useful blocks to place on our websites using the Pages module. 
Why can't we put those same blocks into our system emails? Like newsletters, for instance. 

Correct.

I think he was meaning support as in lots of other people agreeing with his idea and upvoting it.

No, I'm holding off because of the warnings. I spent the whole weekend last week updating everything only to find myself back to square one a couple of days later. 
I am not amused with IPS right now. 

Aha. 
Thank you both. I have now applied both your suggestions and resolved the issue. 

Template customization help isn’t part of the IPS support. 
But I had a look. The gallery image feed widget uses background images with the background-size property set to “cover”. That’s why the images are cropped. So, if uncropped thumbnails are saved, the widget would need to be customized to show the images with the background-size property set to “contain”. That would fix it. 

I'm trying to edit a template in one of my custom databases for the record display. I've done this numerous times in the past without issue, but now today I am getting this error when trying to save my changes. Not sure why this is. 
I recently migrated to a new server but I don't think this would affect it, would it? 

I don't think it's outlandish at all. Software developers are always using security flaws to ensure their own future, that's all. If that isn't true then basically we are just being handed a new flawed product every time they release an update. 
 

Maybe if you wrote the software properly in the first place there wouldn't be a need for a security update.
