I’m looking for the page with just status updates from everyone. How do I create a stream that’s just status updates?

After upgrading to 4.7, I can no longer see the /statuses page — any idea how to bring it back? Thanks!

Finally working! Thanks everyone!

Thank you for the response! Here’s what my phpinfo says: The “Data Storage Not Working” error is now gone, but “Cache Not Working” is still there.

Hi again! My upgrade went smoothly, but I’m getting the following errors: Data Storage Not Working Cache Not Working The Redis option is greyed out and says “In order to use this method, the Redis extension must be installed on your server.” I contacted my host and Redis is installed and working. Any idea what is wrong?

Oh wow, thank you. It worked!

This is what it looks like. I haven’t changed it in years. <?php $INFO['sql_driver'] = 'mysql'; $INFO['sql_host'] = 'localhost'; $INFO['sql_database'] = '***'; $INFO['sql_user'] = '***'; $INFO['sql_pass'] = '***'; $INFO['sql_tbl_prefix'] = ''; $INFO['sql_debug'] = '0'; $INFO['sql_charset'] = ''; $INFO['board_start'] = '1318618567'; $INFO['installed'] = '1'; $INFO['php_ext'] = 'php'; $INFO['safe_mode'] = '0'; $INFO['board_url'] = '***'; $INFO['banned_group'] = '5'; $INFO['admin_group'] = '4'; $INFO['guest_group'] = '2'; $INFO['member_group'] = '3'; $INFO['auth_group'] = '1'; $INFO['use_friendly_urls'] = ‘1’; $INFO['_jsDebug'] = '0'; $INFO['mysql_tbl_type'] = 'InnoDB'; $INFO['use_memcache'] = '1'; $INFO['memcache_server_1'] = '127.0.0.1'; $INFO['memcache_port_1'] = '11211'; $INFO['sql_utf8mb4'] = TRUE; ?>

Hi Marc! This is the latest error: [03-Aug-2023 10:34:39 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "‘1’" in /home/***/public_html/conf_global.php:20 Stack trace: #0 /home/***/public_html/system/Settings/Settings.php(56): require() #1 /home/***/public_html/system/Patterns/Singleton.php(41): IPS\_Settings->__construct() #2 /home/***/public_html/system/Http/Url.php(771): IPS\Patterns\_Singleton::i() #3 /home/***/public_html/system/Http/Url.php(248): IPS\Http\_Url::baseUrl() #4 /home/***/public_html/system/Request/Request.php(276): IPS\Http\_Url::createFromString('https://***...', true, true) #5 /home/***/public_html/system/Log/Log.php(106): IPS\_Request->url() #6 /home/***/public_html/init.php(1034): IPS\_Log::log('Error: Undefine...', 'uncaught_except...') #7 [internal function]: IPS\IPS::exceptionHandler(Object(Error)) #8 {main} thrown in /home/***/public_html/conf_global.php on line 20

Already did this, everything is green.

Thanks for such a quick response, Nathan. /admin/upgrade gives me a blank page with any PHP version, including 8.1. I believe I’m having the exact same issue as this client — would appreciate it if someone from IPS could open a ticket for me.

Hello, I’m trying to upgrade my community to the latest version and after uploading the files, this is the error I’m seeing in my Admin CP: We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now.syntax error, unexpected '->' (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR)You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later. I believe it has to do with the PHP version, but when I switch the server to PHP 8, the site won’t load at all. Any ideas on how to fix this and proceed with the upgrade?

Hi Marc, After a few hours I managed to get in. Looks like caching was indeed the issue. Thank you!

Thanks for the quick response, Marc! Yes, I entered the details manually. Not only that, but once that first happened, I completely removed the installation and installed it again (with different details and a fresh database) and the same thing happened. Also, the fact that the exact same message (“14 minutes”) appears regardless of how much time passed, makes me think that something is definitely wrong haha

Hi everyone, I just made a test installation and when I try to log in to the AdminCP, I get the following message: Your account has been locked. Try again in 14 minutes. I’m 100% sure I’m entering my login details correctly. But even after 14 minutes, same message. In fact, it doesn’t change at all and always says “14 minutes” no matter how much time passed. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, I’m having a security issue with my website — over the past few days, at least 4 inactive accounts were hacked and used to post spam message. I’m running a pretty old version (4.6.1) but unfortunately I’m not able to upgrade until next week—is there anything you would recommend doing in the meantime? Perhaps this is a known current issue. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Thank you, I appreciate the help. I’m aware how the Chrome inspector works, the issue is that it is not very helpful when it comes to responsive elements, and figuring out how something works through developer tools takes 100x times longer than just searching for a class in the editor.

What is the reasoning for not making the CSS at least viewable in the editor?

That makes it the Invision-preferred solution or upgrade-friendly solution, not the right one. Saying that it’s the right solution because it makes upgrades easier is like saying that cutting off your arm is the right solution to losing body weight. But clearly I’m in the minority here and the Invision stuff will (rightfully) do whatever they please so arguing is pointless. This new version just isn’t for me.

Fixing something is always the better option that patching something. Just because the custom file doesn’t get updated this way doesn’t make it the “right” solution.

The point is, editing something as minor as image size should not be this complicated and should not be done by adding multiple lines of code on top of existing code. Creating a custom theme should not require pretty much re-writing the existing css from scratch.

Would the code be .ipsUserPhoto_large { width: 120px !important; height: 120px !important; } ?

It’s not a little more work — something that used to take literally 10 seconds would now require to writing multiple lines of code. Just to illustrate, let’s say I want to change the size of userpics in topic view from 90x90px to 120x120px. Before 4.7, I could simply search for “ipsUserPhoto_large” and change “90” to “120”. Takes about 20 seconds. What’s the correct way of doing that in 4.7?

This was such a bizarre choice. I now pretty much have to re-write half of the theme AND keep everything in one file AND do it without any reference. Ridiculous.

Browser inspector isn’t very helpful when it comes to responsive elements. Not to mention that it takes 10x more time than just searching for the element in the theme editor.

That’s understandable but we need to be able to VIEW them to know what we are supposed to edit
