Hi Charles, I've created folders in the pages media ares of AdminCP. I see that the folders aren't duplicated in the Pages Media directory on my server. Is this on purpose and could it lead to issues with tons of files in the same directory down the road? 

The folders are just for human organization. The system still saves the files as it sort of sees fit on the backend.

HI, That makes sense. Thank you for taking time to elaborate. 🙂

All support on the forums do get our staff's attention. If anything cannot be handled here then we sometimes convert them to a ticket via email.

What do you mean by "DB file" in this context?

For cloud customers, I suppose SSO isn't useful? I mean we can't add anything on top of our Invision Community software, right? 

Many clients need to integrate with external platforms. They might have a website or some sort of client login system. It's actually our most common customization we do 🙂 

How long does it technically take to convert to topic? Is it a quick process?

Once I click "End Event" in the Live Topic it's within a minute or so.

That was the part I was like "ok this isn't very good" 😀

I embedded that "media" it in a page to get the path. Promise we will address that in next release!

Just to confirm: we added a way to see the Pages media full URL. It will be in the April release.

femvoxcommunity@gmail.com was blocked in our system because when you originally tested it did not exist. I have removed the block.

https://invisioncommunity.com/services/switch-to-invision/

It's included in your service 🙂 

Interesting. The staging site was a little "oh we could do this too" most people are interested in design and SSO.

Nearly all use our email sending. I think you two are outliers 🙂

Replying to a question I asked on who can ask questions.

When you click on a question in the sidebar...

It filters the display to just that question and answers to it, but it does not set the reply to automatically be to the question.  It instead is a generic comment.  

Good catch.

Is there some sort of way to flag which posts were questions vs which were just chat?  

Look in top right of this view 🙂 

Why would someone ask a question versus just type it into the chat?

If you are reading this and not in the Live Topic... it's the topic that was generated :)

Why would someone ask a question versus just type it into the chat?

Either way works but chat is more fluid so sometimes good questions or thoughts come up in conversation. We can to be able to capture those.

Can you control who can ask questions or who can answer questions?

Anyone can ask a question in chat that a moderator can "convert" from chat to a question. There are settings to define if people can directly-post questions and if a moderator has to approve those or not.

Is there any plans to easily schedule live events? (Have it tied with the events system, RSVPs, reminders?)

Already done! When you schedule a Live Topic you can have it auto-generate an associated Event option as well.

When creating a live event with video, what platforms are supported? (Zoom, Webex, Google video, Facebook live?)

What we do right now is live stream our Zoom sessions to YouTube Live. We then embed the YouTube Live link in our Live Topics here. You can use any video system but we currently only support YouTube for the automatic syncing timestamp in video.

Doing an unannounced quick demo of Live Topics!

The unlimited page views is nice addition today but I have a custom database and sometimes I need to download, edit and reupload php files and images for that database, likewise things like placing ads.txt in the home directory. Having no access to the files is such a restriction even if I wanted to move.

Hopefully the new GraphQL system and future JS option will make the need for PHP unnecessary 🙂 

We are trying to get to the point where "writing a PHP script" will not be necessary even if you want to extend the system to do all sorts of custom stuff.

I would think you can create a Pages Block with your ad code and replace src=... with the {media} tag. Then embed the block wherever you want.

Is it possible to get the path to this file?

That was the part I was like "ok this isn't very good" 😀

I embedded that "media" it in a page to get the path. Promise we will address that in next release!

Feel free to PM me if you ever want to do a Zoom to chat about how the platform works. It may not be a good choice for you but I am always open to sharing ideas.

Whoa, I never knew that existed. Testing it now.

So... ok...

I was like "oh I have a solution!" but Pages Media is apparently a bit clunky. I'm putting in a to do to improve it 🙂 

But, yes, you can upload media like that and it just creates a non-attached upload.
