Ok, well allowing videos where we currently allow images is secondary to supporting webp. We're talking about two different things at that point - not that it's a bad suggestion or anything, but I was focusing first on where you wanted to see webp support implemented so we can break this down into workable chunks. 🙂

ReCaptcha Failure from China (users can't sign up)
bfarber replied to Fast Lane!'s topic in Technical Problems
Fair enough, I've raised it internally. -
We already output videos inline if the browser/device supports the format. Thus if you upload an MP4 and your browser can play that MP4 (dependent on codecs, etc.) it should embed. Transcoding video formats and doing things like converting animated gifs to MP4s is a bit of a different ballgame from adding webp support.

It is recommended to output webp files in a <picture> tag instead of an <img> tag, which supports specifying multiple versions. That's something we'd have to take into account. Also, ios14 added support apparently: https://css-tricks.com/webp-image-support-coming-to-ios-14/ I found that we have an open internal suggestion discussing this already so I've updated it. Thanks!

Please submit a ticket to report bugs. 🙂 https://invisioncommunity.com/clientarea/

What things are you looking for support for specifically? Are you just meaning to display webp images as images, instead of attachments? Obviously this is something we can look into too, but if you have a list of areas/problems specifically it might be a good starting point. (For the record, recent releases of GD do support webp, as does ImageMagick, so server-side technology is not a hindrance)

We simply haven't added it to our toolbar. It's not something we typically see a lot of demand for on a community like ours. We also don't have a button that allows you to create tables and many other elements for that matter.

When you use the "print screen" button, your operating system is taking a copy of your screen as a binary image into your clipboard. Most modern web browsers allow you to paste that binary stream into the editor (and in the case of our software, that paste is turned into an upload). There is no way to control what type of image file your operating system produces in this case. It is possible to convert the image type on the server, but there's really no reason to do so, so we don't. In short - there's no real way for us to control this behavior. You can check with Apple/Microsoft/Whoever makes your OS to see if there are any controls as to what kind of file is produced when you hit the print screen button.

ReCaptcha Failure from China (users can't sign up)

The only "fix" would be to disable reCAPTCHA on your site. We can't control which services the Chinese government allows or disallows of course 🙂 -
As I recall the current version "works", but not in all cases in our Community In The Cloud environment. The plugin author will need to make some adjustments for it to work for our CIC environment. I cannot state for certain that is the reason the plugin has been delisted, however.

You're using a more recent version of PHP but your Invision Community installation is not up to date. This issue should not exist in the latest release.

Please update Notification extension
bfarber replied to CodingJungle's topic in Developer Connection
Sure I'll take a look at getting it updated. -
Need help optimizing my forum for speed
bfarber replied to Jordan Miller's topic in Classic self-hosted technical help
A hybrid approach works for many people. You use ads, but then you allow subscriptions which remove those ads. (I'm not sure if you're doing that already or not) -
1. Uninstalling the application will not remove the custom Pages templates, no. 2. No mapping is retained. There is no out of the box way for you to know which templates were inserted from your app. 3. Can you send me a copy of a basic app you can reproduce this issue with? That sounds like a bug we should take a look at. The reality is, Pages templates aren't designed to be tied to your app - they're part of Pages once they're imported. Databases could be set up that are using those templates and simply deleting them from the database could break those databases, for instance. That said, you shouldn't run into errors reinstalling a copy of the app.

The issue is related to the "Pmviewer" application. You may need to contact the application author (we wouldn't really be able to assist with the upgrade of a third party application). It's entirely possible it's doing something like looping through every single PM to do something to it and just not reflecting this back in the UI. If that's the case, it may not be an issue. Unfortunately though only the application author can confirm that for you.

Possible bug: sort by "most votes" showing up
bfarber replied to Gabriel Torres's topic in Technical Problems
I'm seeing the same. I'll make a note to look into this for an upcoming release, thanks. -
Does the Forums application use a test suite?
bfarber replied to Dave Baker's topic in Classic self-hosted technical help
Test Driven Development (TDD) is indeed a popular approach, but it is one of many. I would agree that in mission critical situations like pharma/aeronautical you may find very stringent requirements because the end result can literally mean life or death. -
Yes, just for clarity - disabling bbcode will have no impact on existing content, only on newly submitted content.
-
Virus protection isn't really something we can do at the software level in PHP. Your host may have virus scanners installed on the server, however - it might be worth reaching out to them to inquire.
-
In custom.css you can do something like this :root { --logo--height: 200px; } adjust the px height to whatever you want.

Creating a link to a comment from a post ID
bfarber replied to eGullet's topic in Technical Problems
I'm drawing a blank trying to think of a "normal" way to do this, but one option is to just fudge the topic URL. Pick a real topic id (any one, doesn't matter) and then do this: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/458741-a/?p=2832063 or to match your example {base url}/topic/458741-a/?p={comment id} The forum application will see the "p" parameter, look up the URL to that specific post and send you to the real URL. -
Is this what you are referring to? If so there's no option to turn it off
-
It would seem to indicate that the 'raw' and 'thumbs' calls are not returning the images in the same order. I would have to debug and test myself to give you a much better answer I'm afraid, but hopefully the suggestion above can guide you on the right track at least.

Force rebuild of plugin CSS file/custom.css
bfarber replied to Runar's topic in Developer Connection
I do believe that was fixed in a maintenance release so I would recommend updating if that's missing.
