Sorry I don't really know how to explain it. We use IPB cloud for hosting forums, and for the user management. There are also "pages", and "databases", which make use of. IPB builds its pages by allowing the creation/insertion of various "blocks", and we make use of user-defined html and php blocks quite a bit throughout our "site". Forums was the main original feature from which this all began, if I have my history right. Invision Power Board. So I thought that forums would be a central theme. But the product gets more confusing to me all the time.

Thanks, this is pretty wild just to integrate some php. To save me reading the whole thing, do you know if forums can be integrated in an application? If so I might consider it, but I think it's going to be too much work.

What does this mean? How do I "create an application" in the IPB world?

We're on IPB cloud. Today we applied the latest patch and were greeted with a message about V5: Pages: You are using custom PHP blocks. These will no longer function in v5. If PHP block support is disabled, this would break many parts of our site. How do we handle this in V5? We need the ability to customise things, run server-side API pulls, etc.

Thank you, we didn't have any patches at the time but I see patch to 4.7.16 has appeared now, we will apply this and see how we go. David

Excellent, thanks Marc! David

Sorry please ignore point #1 as I have sorted this one out. So I am just after a way to require users to complete a (required) profile field at next login, which happens to also be a custom profile field. Reason being is that whilst this field is set to required, some users were created via an import process, and they have this field empty.

Hi, We have a couple of issues with custom fields (Member Settings -> Profiles) which I am hoping someone might be able to assist with 🙂 1. Field type is set to "select box", and we have added several options; however, even though the "Required" checkbox is ticked, users are still able to register without making a selection in this field (there is always a blank option) 2. Is there a way to require all users who are currently registered to add a value into this profile field the next time they sign in, even if they have already registered without selecting a value? Many thanks in advance for any assistance! regards David

Hi, We have begun experiencing the same issue as detailed here: We're on cloud-hosted Invision Community 4.7.16. New users trying to validate via the link in the email see a page like in the attachment: Is there anything we can do to solve? regards David

Hi, We have also begun seeing this issue (Invision Community Cloud version 4.7.16). Users are seeing the attached screenshot when they try to click validation links. Is there any possibility we could have the patch applied to our instance as well? regards David

Thanks Marc. Apologies, I see you responded on the 15th but I only received a notification email just now. I usually respond a lot quicker! David

Hi, This is causing me a lot of grief at the moment. Updating media files (usually PDFs), even old ones (> 6 months old), almost never results in the latest version being loaded on a subsequent refresh - even on other machines on other networks. This means I end up having to delete the original media file and re-upload it which causes more work (need to update the link in the code and re-upload that) broken links Are there any tricks to fooling the CDN to let go of the old version of the media file? I note that the _cb=1694742873 variable changes in the "media URL" reported by the admin control panel, so I would expect the new version to be reflected on the live site. Many thanks for any assistance. We're often updating documents in a team environment and this is causing some havok!

Thanks, I finally found it - under the "databases" list is another permissions table 🙂

Hi, I'm trying to enable comments for users on articles. Currently on an article page they can see at the bottom: But there is no option to add a comment. Administrators do see the option, but not regular users (users who are only part of the 'members' group). In ACP my comments settings are: Is there anything else I need to do to enable users to add comments? regards David
