Are you pointing to the same elasticsearch server, or is that also new?

Elastic runs on the new server too. Both web and elastic on same server, just like me previous setup. It worked great for me previously. New server is much more powerful and same amount of RAM. 

I moved to a new server and see this error whenever I rebuild the search index. I've cleared cache of course. The only time this error appears is when I rebuild the elasticsearch index. And, it's like 129 pages of this error.

I'm using Elasticsearch version 7.17.7

Hi Guys, I just moved to a new server that's has much faster hardware, but is geographically much further from me. I noticed that when I click on the Notifications icon, the ensuing popup (see screenshot below) takes much longer to appear than it did on the old server. It takes a solid 4-5 seconds to appear. 

Does anyone know how to speed this up, or what cause this? 

All good now. Thanks.

Fresh new error

I updated my beta site and now see a different issue. When I click Install on the Marketplace app, I get this error.

Here is the system log:

I have been trying for a while to upgrade my server to PHP 8.1.  Every time I enable it, I get the following errors:

Error: Call to undefined function create_function() (0)
#0 /var/www/<website>/forums/conf_global.php(338): IPB_Firewall::_calculateChecksums()
#1 /var/www/<website>/forums/conf_global.php(310): IPB_Firewall::_doSecurityChecks()

#3 /var/www/<website>/forums/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(69): require('...')
#4 /var/www/<website>/forums/admin/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher::i()
#5 {main}

I have no plugins installed.  I have attempted every purge to make sure no plugins are installed.  I switched to a default no-frills theme with no modifications.  Nothing helps.  This PHP 8.x requirement is killing me given your "vanilla" version of Invision is not working with it.

Please help.

This should help. 
 

Is there any other way to accomplish what this does? I loved topic moderators.

This is difficult to do in a forum as it's designed to have logically segmented areas.  

• Category  1
  • Forum 1
  • Forum 2
  • Forum 3
• Category 2
  • Forum 4
  • Forum 5
  • Forum 6

Content is placed in the best matching container and is organized that way.  With Twitter...  it's just a stream of data with no organization or purpose to it.  

If you want to achieve something SIMILAR...  you could use the Fluid view which brings all containers together in one view.  

For example...  https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/...  click on the Fluid view...

As you noted, you could also use the Activity Stream...  but again, just having a simple box to start typing does not place the content in the appropriate section of the forum.  So unless you simplify down to just a single forum, with no categories, this does not really work.   

Thanks Randy, I'll look at th fluid view. 

I think a simple box to start typing, would place that content in the user's profile page where the feed is. People can obviously post on those pages already. 

I'm learning that categories are much less important on some forums, due to the awesomeness of the activity stream. 

I've used IPS for several years now and love it. However, I still don't know everything about it or what's possible. I recently setup a Mastodon server and realized that managing another "thing" sucks. 

I'd love for IPS to have an integrated timeline / activity stream where people can comment and read what's happening. Perhaps this is alreayd available and I don't know it. I know we can posts status messages and view activity streams, but they are separate items. A Mastodon / Twitter syle capability would be really nice. Plus, striking while the iron is hot, is always advised :~)

If I could place this ina. block at the top of the activity stream, that would be really cool.

Actually looked. It's plupload, the underlying js library that powers the uploader for attachments. A nothing burger; probably just initializing.

EDIT: Here's the bit in the code if you are curious:

 

Thank you so much!

Sounds like the Facebook/Meta pixel fwiw. IPS does not track anything at this level in the suite.

The most they do is some baseline information reported back like errors, apps/plugins installed, and settings (minus all the password/account number stuff). And all that stuff is voluntary - an ACP option you can toggle on/off.. 

It’s strange because I would never enable Facebook anything on my site, yet I have this pixel. 

I'm happy to see the same gif being loaded here on the IPS site, but now I want to know what and why :~)

I just notices a 1x1 pixel gif being loaded on my site when I'm logged in. I'm not a fan of tracking and this reminds me of some type of tracking pixel. 

The pixel only loads on Pages articles and forum topics, not the main page or main forum pages.

Does anyone have any idea what this is?

v1.8.0 is now pending approval, with one new feature:

NEW

• Added functionality to require guests to validate their email address, using a validation code sent to them, before their email is actually sent via the 'Contact us' form.
  • Feature is disabled by default, requires enabling via settings.
  • Code length can be configured (default: 6 characters).
  • Code can be expired after a period of time (default: 5 minutes).
  • Expired codes are cleaned up daily via the application's pruning task.

Here's how it looks:

After clicking 'Send'...

Email received...

User will be advised if they enter a wrong code (see image below) or an expired code (similar to image below)...

Note: ignore the '2232' there - I've only just spotted it and it is my fat fingers in the language strings. Will be fixed in v1.8.1 but can be 'patched' simply by editing the 'js_neapp_contactus_form_validate_email_validate_wrong' language string yourself.

 

This is amazing!

I already use the default theme and have nothing enabled as it was all disabled to do the manual upgrade from an older version.

Can you access AdminCP to look at the log when 8 is enabled?

1 minute ago, cualupe said:

I just finished manually installing the latest version on hosted server. So the latest version I assume 4.7.3

I’d try the default theme and if that doesn’t work try disabling apps/plugins. 
 

Theme is easy to try. If it works, it’s a problem with the theme you’re using.

I am trying to upgrade from 7.4 to 8.0 and my site just loads a blank page.

I used the current php checker tool and everything has a green tick. But I have to revert to 7.4 for the site to load.

How can I fix this? Or is it ok to stay on 74? There's many warnings telling me to use 8.0 but it kills the site

Which version of IPS?

Just received this.

And how did you solve it ?

I didn't. I finally gave up and came here, only to find out I should've come here in the first place. Looks like an IPS issue.

Stuck too - ending up here. Tried like 6 times now all with the same result.

I'm here as well. At least it's on my test server. However, I just spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting, thinking it was my issue.

The new version is fantastic! I've been able to report several spammers per day because I now have all the data. 

Thank you!

Thank you @Olivia Clark and @Charles.

Will there be at least security updates for the 4.7.3 PHP7 Release?

Debian doesn't offer php8 in it's current release (and php7 will get security updates from them) so i can't update to php8 until debian bookworm is released
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/php
 

 

You may be able to install other versions of php using this repo - https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php

I have 7.4, 8, and 8.1 on my server.

I love this app. 
 

Question: Can it be made to log every use of the contact us form? 
 

I’d love to know the IP address of people using the form. Right now we have zero information about senders, other than what they give us. 

On 8/29/2022 at 4:22 PM, Nathan Explosion said:

I'll have a think about it for the next version.

I was going to report a spammer via the Stop Forum Spam submission form, but it requires the sender's IP address. Perhaps another reason to log the IP address and make it visible in the tracker?
