    Discord has its place.

    It's a great tool if you're just starting a community and want to see if there's a need, or you want a semi-asynchronous chat that focuses on a 24-48 hour time window.

    However, we have a mature support community so it's less useful. We want to encourage thoughtful posts that have a life beyond a few days. We want others to find these topics from search engines and we want to build a crowdsourced knowledgeable for Invision Community.

    If we were to create an official Discord, it would create a brain drain and instead of us being able to look back and look at feature request trends, or customers being able to search for answers to their questions we have a 'here and now' relatively informal chat room.

    Very good and worked answer! 👏

    Nice idea! What about selecting the one you want first then uploading it, then the next and so on. I know it's not ideal. 

    Usually community members upload their files and afterwards a moderator or administrator is adding a better and featured image. So this usually would not work.

    At least in my community this happens 🙂 

  3. Hey there,

    I am building a Database in Pages which will have different views. I know there is "listing" and "record", though I am able to get from the query string every parameter and "create" different views for each option.

    However, I was wondering if I could create different FURL structures in order to prettify all my hiperlinks.

    Can I do this? I was trying to do this through "Customize Friendly URLs".

    Setting Friendly URL:

    • DATABASE_NAME/user/{#user}-{?}

    And Real URL: ?app=cms&module=pages&controller=page&path=DATABASE_NAME

    • Unfortunately, when I point to DATABASE_NAME/user/123-MYNAME , the browser redirects me to the the home of DATABASE_NAME

    Any idea of how to do this?

    By any chance, are you using an app/plugin that makes changes to the tagging functionality? Reason for asking - on a quick first look, the description for that field doesn't exist in the default language pack.

    Oh right, then it should be de Advanced Tag Plugin 🙂 

    That makes sense! Thanks Nathan!

     

  5. Hey there!

    I've seen this option under "Posting Settings" when I edit a forum and I was wondering what does the "Show as categories" mean.

    From the text, I understand that somewhere in this forum list I should see the tag list as categories. However I don't see anything.

    What is this option for?

    Cheers,

    Ibai

    Google’s tool is just a machine. I wouldn’t obsess about making it happy. The smallest possible images might not be the best possible images for the users. And if you re-use the same image in a widget as on the database listing view, that’s an advantage! The images are already present!

    Fine, thanks! Cache makes sense!

    Anyhow, I've made a bit smaller Database thumbnails with the tip you shared.

    What about downloads? I am not able to find this settings in Files. :-s

    No. The images (thumbnail + hires) are created when you upload the image. You can’t call a different size. 

    Database settings → Options tab

    Many thanks! 

    Is this your set up? Isn't that too big? Usually thumbnails in widgets are way more smaller. This makes Google PageSpeed to argue because of the size 😓

    You can change the default value in the database settings. But it will only work for new uploads. 

    So it's no possible to parametrize... The point is that usually widgets load smaller images, and about 50px width... so loading a 500px width image I guess it's not the best idea.

    In fact, the Google PageSpeed tool always is suggesting that I'm loading too heavy images...

    Any idea? I only want to change this for certain widgets.

    Any how, how can I change that parameter in Databae settings? Where's that option?

    Thanks!!

  9. Hey there,

    I'm trying to optimize my community and I see that this lines load a thumbnail of the original imagen with a maximum of 500px with.

    {file="$record->_record_image_thumb" extension="cms_Records"}

    Is there any parameter or setting to build it, for instance, with a maximum of 200px?

    Cheers,

  10. Hey there!

    I liked the new gamification achievements feature. However, do you think the current list of badges and ranks are enough items? Is there any new pack of badges, ranks and rules that could be installed in the forum?

    Cheers,

    Ibai

  11. Hey there,

    Just upgraded to 4.6 and all my members are Newbies.

    Once I posted after 4.6 I saw I was given my badges. Anyhow, still Newbie.

    Is there a way to force full rebuild and also assign Ranks? Is sth rebuilding in the background as it is just upgraded or do I have to force it from Achievements Settings?

    Thanks!

    May I ask why you care so much about these tests?

    Are you trying to grab an extra position or two or do you just want to have things in the green?

    Not trying to mock you or anything, just wondering what the end goal is for you to increase completion of these tests because I am always curious to learn what drives these type of completion chases.

    Maybe SEO recommendations? Page Speed?

    I agree there are several things that might be improved in IPS.

    Feeling this. I'd love the option for this on topics, too! 

    I'd love that. I regret to enable the attachment system globally as I know my community will abuse uploading images every now and then. However it would be interesting to let users to set "header images" to every content unit so it would be used when sharing in social networks.

  14. Hey,

    I'd like to be able to set a social network image for each forum category/files category/articles category/page form the ACP. I saw there's the grid image for forums category that is not being used for social network. Sth like that should be enough.

    What do you think?
