    Okay, no content feeds. Got it. I still don’t get it. You mean like static text describing the sections? You are being very vague. “necessary information”, “what he really needs” could mean anything. And what is stopping you from doing these things right now with Pages? Again, you can set a custom homepage and you can put what you want on it. If that is lacking somehow, you would need to tell IPS what you need on top of the current features. P.S. Some more styling options for blocks are coming soon: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/product-updates/45-page-builder-widgets-r1196/

    It’s IPS corporate homepage for selling their product—it has little to do with a community homepage for users of the community software. You can set any app you want as homepage. As mentioned before, you can set a Pages page and you can fully control what’s on it.
  3. opentype
    But what are the necessary information? They already have a system in place for a custom homepage. You can use the Pages app, create an empty page with it and set it as homepage. Then you can add widgets with feeds from areas that are important on your site (“latest topics", “latest articles”…) as well as static information. Even group based content, like a widget just for guests.

    The “Yes” is your “content” field. You can only make it a custom field, if you assign the “content” field type to another field. In theory, you can … create another text field make it the content field make it “not required” and then remove all permissions from that field so it won’t show up anywhere on the front end

    Yeah, that’s what I meant. If you want more styling, add line breaks and so on, you would need to switch to “custom” instead of “no formatting”, but that needs some understanding of HTML. You could put something like that in the custom field: <p>[Your field title]: {$value}</p> This would show each entry on a single line and you can manually add the title name as well. But you don’t have to touch the templates. That would even be more complicated.

    Make those two settings for each field. This should help.

    That would essentially delete your blog entries. Sonya provided the correct code to check for entries. But that has nothing to do with your internal counter. I would always start with IPS’ block template and modify it step by step, instead of taking code from somewhere else that probably doesn’t work in a block. I see other problems too, like that $pagination variable, which should also fail in a block.
  8. opentype
    Sure, I get it. What did the support say? Are they going to look into it some more? Sometimes you need to stand your ground in a support ticket. 😉
  9. opentype
    It would really depend on the field type. If it’s text, then that behavior makes perfect sense and might even be required, e.g. to order alphanumeric entries like SKUs, bank account details and so on. But for a number field, IPS can certainly make it happen to order the entries as numbers—if that doesn’t work this way currently.

    It’s both in the comments template of the Pages Display template assigned to the specific database.

    Then you can open a support ticket so someone can check it out directly on your website.
  13. opentype
    The settings you show are for the frontpage only, not for the listing view. You need to go to the Options tab.
  14. opentype
    For Pages databases, you upload a record image, as mentioned above. That plugin only affects the forums, since it is only needed there.

    Good feature request. It’s how Patreon does it for example. As Patreon creator, you can select to generate a general thank you note or even a specific one for each “tier” (i.e. subscription) the supporters choose. The thank-you note is shown once after the payment and is created from an editor field with text, images, videos—whatever you like to say thank you. Or you can use it to point out where to get subscription benefits and things like that.

    Many sections (Pages databases, downloads, blogs …) have the option to set a featured image and that will be used automatically. Forums don’t have that, since no one wants to upload a specific image for that purpose for every singe topic. But this usually helps: https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/8992-og-image-for-forum-topics/

    My two cents: because bridging two independent software products is usually a bad idea. You have 3 pieces of software to deal with: Software A, software B and the third-party bridge. It might be called “seamless”, but it never really is. Anytime you install an update to software A or B things can break and you need to hope that the third-party offering the bridge can fix it in time. And since they are usually small companies, they might simply stop offering the bridge altogether in the future and then you are completely screwed. Personally, I use either WordPress or the Invision Community Suite, never both. If I had a WordPress installation already, I would convert it all to Pages. After all, that’s the benefit of having a Community Suite. It being seamless is not just marketing claim in this case.

    Not easily, no. What’s in a block is decided in the block settings. So there is little I can do in a block template.
  20. opentype
    Everyone would stop using a site like that.
  21. opentype
    The plugin provides just a simple template change: look for attachments, set one as og: image. That’s why it’s so cheap. I expect that IPS will add that functionality themselves one day and this plugin becomes useless. Until then, you get a simple and useful feature for a small price. There are no plans to add any options.
  22. opentype
    It’s just the normal “responsive flow”. Things ordered from left to right appear top to bottom when they don’t fit on the screen. You can choose to put the custom fields below the content if you don’t like this behavior.

    About what exactly?
  25. opentype
    I use Safari. That’s not it.
