Any google maps URL does not work. For example, here's one: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Micro+Center/@32.9374772,-96.7524279,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x864c202a72519f71:0xabc498f0b6efd2be!8m2!3d32.9377414!4d-96.7500276 Now I get this error: Google Maps Platform rejected your request. This API key is not authorized to use this service or API.

Thank you, I didn't know I needed to do that. I've setup all the credentials as you suggested and followed instructions in ACP. When I try to embed a map, I get this error... Google Maps Platform rejected your request. Invalid request. Invalid 'center' parameter.

YouTube, Vimeo, and other content is embedded automatically into posts and the embedded content can be viewed directly inside the posts. I noticed that inside the Amin CP under System > Settings > Posting there is an option for "Automatically embed links?" Within that option is says that Google Maps can be automatically embedded into posts. However, Google Maps don't seem to be working. When I post a link to a Google map or a custom mymaps.google.com only the link/url is posted and not an embed of the actual map. How do you get an embed of the actual map inside a post? Am I doing something wrong?

Maybe in a future upgrade (hint, hint)? 😉 Thank you for your help!

Perfect, I got it to work, except for one module, and that is the Leaderboard (or the Popular Contributors block/widget). How do you hide the Leaderboard widget from showing it to certain Groups? I cannot find how to do that.

But those permissions only apply to forums, not the other content

I understand that there is a way to only show certain forums by group, but what about other content? Can I hide the other stuff, like search bar, Browse >Staff, ONnline Users, and other content?

Is there a way to upload photos/files to a post using the API? I understand how to create a new post and topic, but I don't see any reference on uploading/attaching files or photos to said post/topic.

This one resolved the issue. Since I'm on a shared hosting environment, Hostgator had to do it for me, but they did disable the specific mod_security rule causing the problem and now it's resolved. Thanks for the help!

Ok, I used developer mode in browser to view the errror. The XHR header response says... The HTML response says this...

It's a private forum. No public access.

Not sure what you mean. Do you mean the javascript log? No errors in log.

I've disabled mod_security on server. Problem still remains. I whitelisted my forum in my McAfee firewall settings. Problem still remains. Note: if it makes any difference, forum is on Hostgator.

I'm running Invision Community v4.6.9. When editing a link inside a post using the WYSIWYG editor, when I double-click on the link text to modify the URL of the link I get an error. Same thing happens if I just highlight the text and click the "Link" icon to modify the URL. I get the popup notification saying "There was a problem loading this content" (see below screenshot). It doesn't matter which browser I'm using or which type of device (PC or smartphone).

It worked! Thank you.

I am using the API to create topics successfully. However, I cannot seem to be able to add a poll to a topic via the API . Here is what I'm using as my post fields that is sent to the API via curl. Note, everything below the /* poll variables below */ comment is what I'm trying to post as the poll data to the topic. The topic still gets posted, but the poll does not get created in the topic. What am I doing wrong? $post_fields = array( 'key' => urlencode($apiKey) // the topic id ,'forum' => urlencode(IPBFORUM_ID) // the forum id ,'title' => urlencode('This is the title') // the title ,'post' => urlencode($message) ,'author' => urlencode($user_id) ,'author_name' => urlencode($author_name) ,'hidden' => urlencode('0') /* poll variables below */ ,'poll_title' => 'Cast your vote' // poll_options: Array of objects with keys 'title' (string), 'answers' (array of objects with key 'value' set to the choice) and 'multichoice' (bool) ,'poll_options' => array('title' => urlencode('Make your choice, either Yes or No:') ,'answers' => array('Yes','No') ,'multichoice' => '0' ) ,'poll_public' => '0' // bool Make the poll public ,'poll_only' => '0' // bool Make this a poll-only topic );

I don't know if this is a feature or not, but it would be nice. I noticed that the Bulk Email feature for Admins allows you to customize the email with special {tags} (or system variables like {member_name}) to personalize the message to the recipient. It would be nice to have these {tags} available to moderators for Announcements also. This would help grab the member's attention a little more and customize the Announcement experience.

Bump. Anymore news on scheduling a topic and/or post in the future? This would be a great feature.

I understand that you can see how many times a post has been viewed. But, is there a way to show which and/or how many unique users/members have viewed a post and/or thread? Is this standard on IPBoard, or is there a plugin for it?

I had a similar problem. This solved it for me. Thanks.

Is there a way to search for embedded content in the search results? For example, an embedded youtube/vimeo video that someone has posted. I see no way how to search for youtube embedments; even if to search for the word "youtube" or "youtu.be" in the source code of the post.

It would be nice to be able to mark a thread that you are currently reading as "Unread" in order to have it appear in your "Unread Content" stream later. Sometimes I read a post in a thread but I do not have time to respond and want to come back to it later in the day or week. On large and active forums with many posts it is sometimes hard to find a post that you wanted to come back to because there has been so much content that has filled up the forum. Another way is to possible have a personal folder called "Favorites" in each person's profile that they can save their favorite threads so they can refer to them later. This would solve the issue of being able to come back to it later and also be able to archive your favorite posts for reference at a later time. Thanks.
