Storage Settings - Multiple file storage locations will be deprecated in a future release.
If I understand it correctly, you store it like you do now. You just don’t use MULTIPLE locations, but one. So, let’s say you have only attachments on S3 and everything else in your website’s /uploads folder, you would move the stuff from the uploads folder to your S3 location too.

Was the topic rating removed in IPS5?
opentype replied to Adriano Faria's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionSo, was ratings for Pages even touched? Do ratings for Pages database records remain or are they converted somehow as suggested earlier this year.

Database Navigation widget. Intended functionality?
opentype replied to opentype's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionBut what is open or closed by default if you move from one record to another?

Database Navigation widget. Intended functionality?
opentype replied to opentype's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionYou can test it here and browse through the records on this page: https://opentype.space/support/ I tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox and I always get inconsistent results.

Database Navigation widget. Intended functionality?
What’s the intended functionality for the new Database Navigation widget regarding opening the sub-menus? I am getting an inconsistent behaviour that doesn’t feel right. For a database with only one category, I see all entries always. That’s fine. But for databases with multiple categories, things get stuck in weird ways. Sometimes all sub-menus remain closed after clicking a link in the category tree. Sometimes a certain sub-menu remains open no matter what page in the category tree I am on. My expectation would be that the active sub-menu would always remain open, but I am not getting that behaviour at all.

Full-size video?
opentype replied to opentype's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionThat is set to unlimited. But picking a large value also doesn’t seem to change anything.

Full-size video?
How to create video embeds (YouTube, Vimeo) that fill the entire column? I can scale the entire video up and down, but after a certain max width or height, only the container scales and the video stays rather small. I see the same both on my site and on the IPS preview installation.

How can we make databases internal now that we can not detach them from pages?
opentype replied to Jimi Wikman's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionIt’s not. Internal data storage was never an intended use for Pages databases.

Pages: You are using custom PHP blocks. These will no longer function in v5
Or convert to PHP template code? Like {{$variable = 5;}} I assume this continues to work?

Is there a list of the functionality that is removed in V5 compared to V4?
opentype replied to Jimi Wikman's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionSure, that works too.

Is there a list of the functionality that is removed in V5 compared to V4?
opentype replied to Jimi Wikman's post in a topic in Invision Community 5: Beta Testing's Beta DiscussionSuggestion to IPS: Move "basicRelationship" into the Pages Template section and make it selectable per database. It was always a bit weird to have that set up as a theme template. Not only would it solve the problem that Jimi and I are having and allow us to convert existing installations to 5.x, it would actually be a cleaner solution (separate Pages and theme templates) and make things easier, as we wouldn’t have to fill that template with tons of IF statements to only apply to certain databases. If you really want to show off, add some nice stock templates yourself. Not just the existing CSV type, but “grid with record-image” and things like that.

Option to Force Uploading of Images Instead of Embedding from Other Websites
Actually, it was already available for some time, so http image calls on https pages wouldn’t break the SSL delivery. This was solved by importing all these images as attachments. But it was removed again after some transition period. Personally, I would love to see this feature with a white-list option. People often link community-related images from a few known sites in our field, which we absolutely don’t want to loose, but certainly will at some point in the future. Picking these sites for an automatic import would be great. Importing every linked media can easily lead to legal troubles (and significant fines), when the content is copyrighted, as it usually is.

DKIM for PHP mails?
To be clear: I specifically chose the feedback forum, not one of support forums, because this was meant as a feedback topic, not a “I am looking for help/instructions for my site(s)” topic. To make the point again in more detail: Defaulting to simple PHP mails has been the industry standard for php web apps for like 20+ years and Invision Community is no exception to this. It (usually) works right out of the box without the need for any configuration. There is now a significant change happening in this area. It’s something that is all over the web tech news and I see it happen across my various websites as well. Mailbox providers are significantly raising the bar to get mails delivered, demanding multiple positive checks for the various authentication options. This makes it a concern for many (self-hosted) IPS customers who start out new or usually don’t touch the default settings. They will wonder why so many registrations get stuck or why mails don’t seem to get delivered at all, because Google throttled the delivery after a php bulk mail without proper authentication. Right now, the IPS description calls the option “sufficient for most sites”, but this might be worth reconsidering. And that was the point of this topic. I’m not making a claim about how this could be addressed. Maybe it can be reliably addressed directly in the code, maybe not. Maybe the onboarding process should instantly ask for SMTP details. Maybe it can be helped indirectly with things like allowing different services for transactional and bulk mails. All I tried was raising awareness for this issue, because I see it happening all the time and I see it getting worse.

DKIM for PHP mails?
Dude, what the hell? No one has asked how one would set up DKIM. That was never in question. Nope. For phpMails and SMTP, Invision Community only seems to allow one mail service for both transactional and bulk mails. So, setting up a transactional-only service doesn’t seem like a good solution unless the website never sends out (marketing) bulk mails.
-
DKIM for PHP mails?
Setting it up is. Making it part of the mails needs to happen where the mail is created.
-
DKIM for PHP mails?
PHP mails have been a good default with acceptable delivery for many years. But now the major email services all check for SPF/DKIM/DMARC and reject mails without proper DKIM headers, which I can set up for my domain and mailboxes, but not for PHP mails sent from Invision Community. Any chance this could be added?

Pages: convert a Manual HTML page into a Page Builder page?
Should be no problem. You can just set up the new page under a new URL and then switch the URLs when the recreation is complete.

Remove user information from whole site
I get the idea, but I also wouldn’t hold my breath. It’s a niche use that goes against the entire framework revolving around community accounts. Not to mention that no one will agree on what those “essential“ information will be for that toggle. (I speak from experience regarding my Pages templates adding tons of options, which never were enough.) A custom app changing the template output for all user-related information might work though and would probably not be too complicated.

[Pages] Reset all Pages templates to default
Are you sure about that? That must be new then. That function has always done what it says and deleted a template from a template set, effectively breaking the entire template set.

Pricing of Small Plugins in Invision Community vs. Xenforo and Woltlab
That’s not a useful question, because there is no general answer. Every potential customer needs to decide for themselves. And based on that calculation you either buy it or not — like with every single product decision in a supermarket, car dealership or whatever. Some communities make hundreds of dollars in ads every month. They don’t worry about investing $15 for a small improvement. Just look at it from the developer’s perspective. A plugin takes X amount of hours to code, test and support in the future. Multiply that with an hourly rate and you have the amount of money the developer wants to get back in earnings through the plugin price times the expected sales. Ending up with $15 for products that aren’t sold thousands of times isn’t surprising. It’s a bare minimum. And here comes the really bad news. Those prices only worked with the Marketplace and its large audience. With Invision Community 5, we can expect these smaller plugins to either go away or get much more expensive, because of fewer sales and the calculation presented above.

Invision Community 5: Tagging Reinvented
I have to agree with SoloInter: There needs to be a way to keep the strategically(!) created tags, independent from fitting in a most-used basket or low numerical limits. There is of course the noise of user-generated forum tags, which might have little value or even do more harm than good. But the strategically created tags need to be kept, independent from any hard limit. In fact, in the new system they can finally shine and be more useful than ever, but they need to be there to begin with. The alternative of dropping the tags and having the admins go through years of content to add them back in, isn’t really a viable option.

Bulk move select users to a newly created subscription plan?
I might misunderstand it, but besides the technical difficulties, it sounds a little questionable legally. Wouldn’t the users have to voluntarily sign up for a paid subscription?
