Yes!

Yes, the forum display view. They seem okay in the other apps but on forums, the page reloads but nothing changes.

Hi

I just updated my local dev sites and noticed that whether using my own themes or the default IPS theme, none of the Table/Grid/Fluid display mode buttons are working.

I cleared the cache and logged out and back in again, but still not working.

Actually, it may be because I was not using categories originally for this particular DB.

Aha, many thanks, that did the trick. I was using the Supergrid templates, I switched back to the standard default template and the options appeared as per your image.

Thanks Jim, no categories unfortunately, so will delete the entire database. Seems odd but no biggie.

Hi,

I can't seem to locate the option to delete all articles/records from a Pages Database except for 1 at a time. I have a DB with over 400 records.

Er, little help?

😁 Many thanks!

Latest version working great, Mr Explosion! Love the report facily and the way to apply it to previous reported content.

New 'Add to Site's Ban Settings' feature is a great timesaver. Icing on the cake for convenience sake would be after reporting to AbuseIPDB to automatically do this for you but the tool is certainly much quicker than copying and pasting the IP and email address yourself as in the past.

The search facility here doesn't appear to find any results in your documentation, even when narrowing the search down to documents or guides.

Example:

I'm currently playing with Zapier and using the option to post an image from an RSS feed in a Gallery album.

It results in an error message:

The app returned "1G316/6".

Searching produced 0 results:

So I thought I'd check out the out REST API docs and I found it in the error section:

https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=gallery/images/POSTindex

It seems not, the rules include options to do it...

but according to the documentation, the new WAF's Bot Fight managed rules can no longer be overridden by rules, only by defining a WAF Exception. However, when you go to do it, it is restricted to Pro account holders.

I tried making use of the rule setup in the screenshot but the connections are blocked. If I disable bot fight mode, it works.

Great stuff, thanks Mr Explosion. 💣

Could you clarify what you mean by the credentials in the ACP?
There's nothing to do in your ACP except to "enable it" and to copy the URL and REST API Key into Zapier. Is this the step that failed?

Hi @Daniel F

I had another go at this and the error I was getting before reoccurs connection failed with a 403 every time. Looking deeper it turned out to be Cloudflare’s WAF (free account) blocking it by issuing a Bot Fight mode managed challenge. 

Events Log:

I set up a rule to allow the Zapier user-agent (not ideal) to skip which doesn’t seem to work although it it shows as working in the CF events log, but found I’ve had to switch off Bot Fight Mode in order to get it working.

Thanks for the rationale on this, that makes sense.

Yes, that’s what I was referring to Martin. 🙂

TBH I’ve posted about this before. We can create feeds from 3 different places in IPS (say a blog RSS feed enabled in a blog’s settings on the front end, a blog RSS feed via Activity Streams and a blog RSS feed from within AdminCP) and they give varying results, leading in turn to varying levels of interoperability depending upon our needs.

Some include images in a container, others don’t, but for my need today (quickly importing demo content into several localdev instances) I wondered if the supplied block of solid text was intended, an oversight or a bug.

Hi,

Appreciate your thoughts. 24 years ago maybe, one could say the same about plain text email; specs and usage change. On the modern web with variations like media rss, a RSS 2.x feed without any HTML formatting is as much use as a handbrake on a canoe. The RSS feeds created on the front end Blogs have HTML, although they lack nodes for featured images.

I was wondering if this is actually a bug?

If you create an RSS feed in the AdminCP for Blogs, the resulting feed lacks any HTML formatting compared to normal front-end feeds.
This means anyone attempting to import or read the feed gets a solid block of text.
 

Sold!

Aside from insomnia, it's the only time I can get some peace and quiet! 🤐

My jest aside, I did try out the'Night Mode' in Firefox app on my ipad. It actually works fine for studying the IPS docs at night. Pretty terrible for photos and images, though!

Nathan's post was a prime candidate for warranting an "Add to Google Notes" share button!

Are you using Nginx?

No, just Apache. Sorry to hijack your thread!

In my defence, I've slept since then! Yes, that would be the stage. I tried a few times, but couldn't get any further to set anything up. I'll give it another go.

I'm wondering now if it might have been Cloudflare blocking the connection.

Thanks Adriano, was thinking more of built-in support tbh.

Is it possible for IPS to support embeds and sharelinks for Mastodon as it does with Twitter?
I've seen people using sharelinks to Masterdon on their non-IPS sites.

Polite bump! 🎗️

Love it when you see people take ownership in an organisation. The difference between an organisation that has colleagues who quickly take ownership of an issue and work to resolve it, even when it may not be within their remit and an organisation that doesn't, is like night and day. Better for everyone.
