You jump from what you personally expect to “general consensus” way too easily.

For an official answer, open a support ticket. In the Facebook login settings it says: Normally, it shouldn’t ask for an address. I don’t know under which conditions the email is not delivered by Facebook. Maybe it’s a privacy setting for the user? Or a misconfigured app?

Depends on your goals. If you go with WordPress + Invision Community you essentially set up two different websites — one for the blog, one for the community. If that’s fine with you, you can do that. If you want your blog posts to be PART of the community, you should go with Pages. Others have correctly pointed out that Pages has a steep learning curve in contrast to the other IC apps and WordPress, but learning how to do it might be a small price to pay if you run the website for years to come.

Text styling is explained here: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/themes-and-customizations/css-framework/typography-r98/ Try adding the class “ipsType_center" as explained in the link.

If you can fund it, anything is possible. But I would say it’s too specialized and too far away from most IPS communities to make a lot of sense as a product for multiple users. Instead of building it just for Invision Community, an established delivery software could be used and then only linked with Invision Community regarding logins and user roles. That’s the only thing that would make financial and practical sense, in my opinion.

Yes. When you create a page, you have the choice of using “Page builder” mode for drag-n-drop widgets or “manual HTML” for a custom page. Kind of. PHP code should be written as template code, as with theme templates.

In theory, database relationships would be the right way to do it. It’s an industry standard. Different types of content – different databases, which are linked as necessary. It’s just that Pages is too limiting in functionality and usability to achieve what you ask. Yes, jumping between databases could be avoided if missing external entries could be added with an inline popup. Your search across databases isn’t possible and database relationship fields cannot be filters. And so on … It looks like you already understand well what is and isn’t possible. You would need a custom app to have it exactly like you need it.

Yeah, I asked about this as well years ago. Two modes (add or subtract tax) would be nice to have. Probably not enough demand to make such a substantial change, because it affects every spot that prices are calculated.

Yeah, your HTML is broken and it forces the text to be transparent in areas where it shouldn’t be transparent. I would try to turn off all 3rd-party plugins/apps and check the group formatting. Where does the coloring of the groups come from? Maybe that’s it.
-
That doesn’t refute anything I said. If you set up a test account we could use to login, we could probably give more details, but as you said, it doesn’t happen for guests.

Check your color settings and everything related to that. My guess is, it’s white links on white background.

Where to start modifying 'Files Feed' block layout?
opentype replied to Beepeeaitch's topic in General Questions
In the ACP, got to Pages → Blocks → Create New Block You will be able to create a custom instance of the feed block and you can add it on the front end as “Custom Block”. -
Where to start modifying 'Files Feed' block layout?
opentype replied to Beepeeaitch's topic in General Questions
Do you have Pages? Then you can route it through a custom Pages block and edit just the block template without messing with the theme. -
Remember Me sign-in option - possible to shorten or disable?
opentype replied to usmf's topic in Technical Problems
I haven’t checked all the code for this, but I would expect that the cookies DO time out—UNLESS you keep coming back to the site every day or every couple of days. And this action then resets the expiration time. At least from a user’s perspective, that’s what I would expect. Being logged out suddenly for no apparent reason is NOT what I would expect when I set “keep me logged in”. -
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!
-
Same answer as above. Preventing access entirely is usually done at the server level. But it still doesn’t get you very far. If someone really wants to cause trouble, they will figure out how to change IP addresses. In general: what is available to guests, is public. If you want more privacy, you can consider removing guest access to certain areas like user profiles. I don’t think guest IP bans will solve your problem.

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

Leaving posts from deleted account with attribution?
opentype replied to usmf's topic in Technical Problems
I've noticed that too. -
You can change the default value in the database settings. But it will only work for new uploads.

The plugin is not needed anymore, as the functionality has been added to 4.6: Instructions are here: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/advanced-options/configuration-options/facebook-and-instagram-embedding-r359/ A new problem is that Facebook will turn off the embedding functionality soon unless you go through an elaborate review process:

Yes, you said that several times. We got that loud and clear. But you were asked by IPS staff to RESPOND AGAIN to that ticket if the issue persists and is apparently not caused by third-party code. Now please do that, as three people in this topic have advised. Adriano tried his best to help you here through the forums, but even he now suggests to go through a ticket as the issue apparently cannot be identified from a distance. And yes, tickets might take several days. Not hearing back about non-critical issues for 28 hours on a weekend is perfectly normal.

If it can be replicated for specific posts and users, isolating the problem through a ticket should be no problem.

(NE) Show post image in Activity Streams/Search Results
opentype replied to Nathan Explosion's topic in Marketplace
Is there a live demo? What I would want to check or know: Is it using thumbnails or full images? How are the images displayed? E.g. will a tall portrait image be cropped or stretch the post? Can I target that implementation via CSS for customizations?
