This issue was resolved in the recently released 4.7.13 release. Please update in order to fix this issue, and if you see any problem after that point, please let us know.

It would actually depend on what the developer decides to add. We will let you know here once this has been added to a release. 🙂 
 
 

Hello
we encounter a rather strange behavior with the "Who's online" widget. It usually shows a hovercard for the online members.
this seems to always work when using the english translation.
when switching to the german language pack (from invisionfocus, from the marketplace), the usernames sometimes are not rendered as links and don't show that hovercard:
English as expected:

German as expected:

Germ, rendered without the links / hovercard:

 
Also the html does not contain any links. But weirdly the current user ("wm") is not even in the html list.
Good variant:

 
Weird variant (no hovercard link, current user not in the list but shown in the browser):

 
What we tried:
deleted the language pack, reinstalled from marketplace. issues shows up again. clearing the system cache usually resolves this issue for some time. we compared all the templates if there are any changes we missed during the upgrades. But we have no changes in the templates that points at this weirdness. disabled the redis cache. issue still shows up. logs contain no errors or indicators whats going on.  
The template userLinkFromData is unchanged:

But it's hard to read.
 
It's very strange this only happens in the german language pack. If there is a missing translation that causes this we cannot find it. And sometimes it just works normally.
Has anyone else noticed this? (Invision Community v4.7.4 - but we think this existed before this version too)

I’ve seen this problem with several blocks (e.g. recent achievements) and remember forum discussion about this. 
Usually, it doesn’t appear because blocks like those don’t need to differentiate between guests and members. But since privacy is a bigger concern in Germany, German websites will often hide the member profiles from guests. And then there would need to be a difference between the cached guest block and the cached member block. Apparently there is none. So whenever the block caching time is over, the status of the first visitor of the page will decide whether everyone sees the guest version or the member version for the next 5 minutes or so. 

turns out rocketchat is grabbing the users profile image, but not applying it yet. I can login as a random user and the avatar shows just the first letter of their name, and when i go to profile, their avatar from my website shows in the list of ones they can use. So I guess i need to find a way to disable the letter avatar thing so it will fallback on the websites avatar?

I feel pretty lucky, so far I got webhooks working and everything. Im almost 100% all set up, all thanks to your screenshots! I really appreciate it!

It kills all HTML (styling), because the text field needs to be cut somewhere and that won’t work if the the HTML isn’t removed first. So you can’t preserve the custom font styling there. 
But you could probably solve your issue globally by defining a proper font stack for your entire website, where the browser falls back to your Tolkien font automatically. You just need to define it globally and make sure that no other font containing these “private use area” character is called first. 

This is a known issue when using elasticsearch, unfortuanetly. We are aware and working to find a solution. 

It should hide the next time it checks for new bulletins.

That's an old bulletin from 2019 that appears to be stuck in your system (we removed it a while ago), you can disregard it. Elasticsearch 7.2 and newer are currently supported.

Thanks for the guide! Is there a way to display the $rank->_title OR the member title? It seems the profile fields have no "name" to be directly referenced in the template to create some if else magic 🤔

After the setup instructions on using Rocket.Chat and the IPB OAuth API I thought I would share the settings for using Matrix Chat.
Matrix in itself is more a specification. Its reference server is called Synapse. One of the well known Web Client is called Element-web (previously called Riot). There are several clients available to choose from. For more information the website is a good place: https://matrix.org/
Members with a forum account can use the same account to login into the element-web chat client.
These are the settings in the IPB Admin Panel:
Client Type: Custom Confidential OAuth Client Available Grant Types: Authorization Code Require PKCE for Authorization Code grant?: Not required Redirection URIs: https://matrix.yourhostname.com/_synapse/client/oidc/callback Authorization Prompt: Never
this will allow your invisioncommunity members to just open the element chat, get redirected a few times, but then be already connected and online in the chat. Allow users to choose scopes? off Show in Account Settings? on Access Tokens: leave the defaults Scopes: profile and email. leave the defaults And these are the settings for the synapse server (to be put into the homeserver.yaml):
oidc_providers: - idp_id: yourhostname idp_name: "Yourhostname.com Login" discover: false issuer: "https://www.hostname.com/" client_id: "changeme" client_secret: "secret_changeme_aswell" scopes: ["email", "profile"] authorization_endpoint: "https://www.yourhostname.com/oauth/authorize/" token_endpoint: "https://www.yourhostname.com/oauth/token/" userinfo_endpoint: "https://www.yourhostname.com/api/core/me" user_mapping_provider: config: subject_claim: "name" localpart_template: "{{ user.name }}" display_name_template: "{{ user.name }}" email_template: "{{ user.email }}" More details on setup context and the docker-containers that run all this can be found in our administrators own blog (where this is taken from with his permission).
This hopefully is of some use for someone else ☺️
 
If you have an "online users widget" for synapse, please let me know 😉 

Invision Community 4.6 brings a brand new achievements system which overhauls the ranks system along with adding the ability to earn points which translates into a higher rank via rules.
As part of the clean-up, we removed the custom member title from the author section of the post as there's a limit to how much information we can show comfortably!
Of course, some communities used custom member titles and wish to continue using them. Fortunately it's easy enough to get them back.

Step 1: Log into the ACP and navigate to Members > Profiles > Profile Fields
Step 2: You will see a group called "Retained", inside is a new custom field called "Member Title". This profile field was used in the upgrade to save the custom member title data. Click on the pencil icon to edit.


Step 3: Post upgrade, this field is effectively switched off, but it can easily be switched back on. For the "Display format for topics" choose custom and just use: {$content} as the value. This will remove the "Member Title:" prefix. Save the changes.


You will now see the member title has been restored.


 Advanced tip:  Only do this if you are comfortable making theme edits! If it all goes wrong, don't panic. There is a revert button to undo your changes! Edit the template bit Forums > topics > postContainer in your active theme and move the block highlighted here up underneath the {{endif}} of the {{$comment->isAnonymous()}} block.

 
 

It is not easily doable out of the box. In addition to adding the map tiles, you'd also have to rip out all calls to the API. Having that around, and possibly adding "real" coordinates to such a map may not be great.
Think this is better as a custom app.

thanks for the update! I was a bit in panic when I read it first 😄
I think something still happened during the 4.4.9 upgrade. I could add the widget a second time from the available blocks. Seems the id of the block or something is calculated differently than before 🤔- but it works normally with our upgraded 4.4.9 and rocket.chat 2.3.0

guys, i just installed it on a fresh 4.4.9 install.. install went fine but i can not find it to be added as a block...?
i thought i go into the ipb template settings and add a new block template, select smthg with rocketchat from the plugin dropdown and its gonna be fine..(?) but there is nothing with rocket in the name?
what do i do wrong?
y, never mind.. i was just stupid.. found it..
thanks!

Ah yes, now I see it.  I can do that... just did not think to beforehand.

hmm. So it's not in the English translation? Like there:

You should be able to just change the text there without the need to edit anything 🤔

Hello
the texts used by the widget should be in the language manager (sources) in the admin panel (Customization -> Languages) just like all other texts, the key is "block_tfRocketChatWhosOnline". The uppercasing is from the stylesheet.

I would say so.
I've created a test installation from the 3.4.7 live board and followed the instructions from the upgrader. No issues with this anymore since beta 5. The issue tracker also does not seem to contain obvious issues.
The background tasks took some time to run. While they run some posts look a bit broken (quotes for example are not yet styled).
So I think I'm going to upgrade soon
