@Robert Angle Thank you. I Did give myself permission and you the HTML code option to embed. But I'm not seeing the video, just the HTML code.
10 hours ago, Nathan Explosion said:You used the HTML option within the Code box button...that literally just posts code as text.
Click the Source button in the editor to edit the html.
Nathan is right.
In the CKEditor, click Source to enter "HTML mode" and then do what you want. Click Source again to return to the normal CKEditor.

both in the AdminCP and across the top of my community, I still have the 'license Key Expired'
Can you simply dismiss the messages?

Is there another way to embed these videos?
Are you the only one who will post the Gumlet videos? If so, try giving yourself permission to post HTML, and then use the embed code provided by Gumlet....
<iframe width="1200" height="675" src="https://play.gumlet.io/embed/{{asset_id}}" title="Gumlet video player" frameBorder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; fullscreen"> </iframe>

Hi!
I was wondering why Courses app is not shown in the main Invision website. It is not listed under Features either. No mention on Invision 5 recent blogposts... Maybe I'm just being crazy, but is there any plans to kill it? I'm using it a lot, so I'm scared, sorry. 🫠
No way. Courses is a relatively newer feature for Invision (Cloud only). All of the worthwhile competition community services also offer courses. Expect to see this remain and probably tweaked and developed even more.

Do you mean "How do I download a backup copy of my database?"
If you are self-hosted, your Admin Panel will be able to generate a backup, whether that's CPanel or DirectAdmin.
If you are cloud-hosted, you can request a backup from the boyz at Invision.

Create Pages for Terms, Privacy, and Cookies and change the links in the setting to point to those Pages instead?
-
Use a custom HTML block?
Use the WYSIWYG editor with a "Add Table" add-on from CKEditor?

My idea is to offer a member option to delete their profile which would simply move them to a new group but not a guest. Instead, I would call it Deactivated.
We do this on our one community. We have a group called "Former Members" for those who want to make it known that they have left.
-
Amazing.
Now the question remains... will there be anything left for theme creators? lol.

This would be a good feature, not only to drive more registrations but to protect website owners... I recently got an invoice which i am not even going to pay (tougher skinned) but the letters though our door are intimidating to the vulnerable.
You should have a clearly worded DCMA Takedown Policy. You are a service provider and you can be protected from the actions of your community members.

why not make everyone a Community Expert? Like, upon their first helpful post, they get an automatic invite.... How fast can you accelerate users to Expert? Why not accelerate users at their first sign of helpfulness?
You just confused the snot out of me, @Joel R lol 😄
This would be horrible in any of my communities. The last thing I need is a new member making one "helpful" post, and suddenly being crowned an expert, and then the rest of the time they are crazy or off their meds posting all sorts of wild stuff.
Community Experts would naturally be seasoned individuals with a pattern of helpfulness.
On 11/2/2023 at 9:56 AM, Matt said:Community experts are the keystones to any thriving community. You probably recognise a handful in your community. They tend to be active regularly, are often the first to try and help others with their questions and help set a positive example within the community.
I can think of who these individuals are on my communities already.
On 11/2/2023 at 9:56 AM, Matt said:When a member has been picked as an expert, they'll receive an email thanking them, and they can then opt-in to be shown as an expert along with a regular notification or email with any unanswered questions in forums they are experts in.
Sounds like when certain metrics are met, the Admin or Staff is notified and then the person has to be invited. They can accept the offer to be a community expert or not (gleaned from the use of "opt-in", above).

Can you set the domain "DEF.com" to forward to "ABC.com" at your registrar? I know GoDaddy supports this.
Alternatively, you can use a PHP redirect. Have your DEF.com/index.php file contain the following...
<?php header("Location: https://www.ABC.com"); exit; ?>

I will say there was absolutely nothing appealing about the previous Community in the Cloud plans. Low storage rates, penalties for too many online users, etc.
But the new plans that give you gobs of storage and remove those limits, plus the new features like Who's Viewing, Live Topics, and Courses make the current plans very appealing. If I was on an old plan, I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade.
But I'm a self-hosted fan so what do I know? 😄

You would have to edit the template code somewhere. I forget the current IPS template language at the moment, but it would basically be something like this....
If logged in --> display avatar.
else --> display something elseYou can dig around in your templates and probably figure out the template code.

For right now, we leave Paste a Rich Text on. We call our dark theme "Dark Mode Beta (buggy)" and when a dark theme user complains to a light theme user, we kindly correct them that they are the ones using the buggy theme, and if they keep it up we will remove dark mode altogether, lol.
By far most of our users use our default light theme.
Hopefully this gets fixed in V5 with it's new click of a button dark/light CSS sorcery 😄
-
Frustrating isn't it. My Light Theme users complain complain when Dark Theme users paste white text. My Dark Theme users complain when my Light Theme users paste black text, because they can see any text at all unless they highlight it. It would be wonderful if "paste as Rich Text" could strip the background color and the text color so that they are just default 'automatic'.
You can switch from "paste as Rich Text" to "paste as plain text" in your AdminCP, but if you have users like I do who compose and format messages in an offline word processor, then they will complain when they are unable to paste their compositions with all the formatting they applied to it.
-
I know this feature is sadly going away in v5, but I feel compelled to report this bug anyway. I'm going to call it a bug because I run 2 separate communities, and both installations of Invision have this issue.
When Replying to a Status Update, after hitting Submit, the button will fade and read "Saving..." and it will just hang eternally. You have to give it a few seconds to trust that it may have been submitted, and refresh the page in order to confirm that it has.
It's actually been this way for years and I should have reported it earlier. But I kept forgetting about it until I started a 2nd community and noted the same behavior.

It will be more incentive still to move away from Invision
But don't all the other forum platforms pretty much behave in this manner also? I've never seen another software provider with a "Marketplace". They usually just have a forum developers announce/share their plugins and users comment on them. I imagine something like the current Marketplace Forum will remain here and simply be renamed.
6 hours ago, ASI said:Now you'll need to pay out of ear for custom development and be held in by the very limited devs experienced with this platform.
How does this change exactly? Developers could always charge what they want to. There have always been limited devs experienced with this platform.
6 hours ago, ASI said:You'll also need to verify them yourself, somehow and you'll need accounts on countless sites to even try to facilitate those modules, coming from all different devs.
I can count mine so far.... 4

I changed it from Admin Validation to User then Admin Validation and the emails are sent out to new members.
Are you saying this fixed it?
Linguistically this makes sense. First the User validates (via email), and then the Admin validates.
Enable "Recent Profile Visitors" by default?

Nice plugin.
All of those can be enabled by default with the AdminCP with the exception of the Recent Visitors Block. I've just been enabling manually whenever I come across it, lol.
