I can recommend @ASTRAPI - he helped me a lot when I was in the same situation a year ago.

growroom reacted to Unlucky in Recommended Web Hosting
We are considering moving our websites to a new web host.
We have both invision and wordpress websites.
Who would you recommend for cost, uptime and server support?
Thanks in advance

Also... to make the move easier... once you have community.xyz.com in place, you can create a redirect on your old server to redirect all requests to your new community.xyz.com domain. That way your old bookmarks don't stop working, and users don't get lost along the way.
You can use something like the following on your old forum's .htaccess to redirect:
Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/community/(.*)$ RewriteRule ^(.*) http://community.xyz.com/%1 [R=302,NC]

growroom got a reaction from Maxxius in IPB as a LMS
Hey Jordan! Thats cool!
You just forgot to share the link of your 10 videos with us here!

growroom reacted to opentype in IPB as a LMS
I usually use Pages for this purpose. A category is a course—a record is a Lesson. A problem I run into with this method is that a “category” can’t hold any other information than title and description. There is no category image, no category rating (to rate the course), no custom fields to add additional information about the course. So that is something I would like to see improved. More power to Pages categories.

growroom reacted to Jordan Miller in IPB as a LMS
Hey @growroom! Right now we don't have any concrete plans to develop a built-in LMS application, however... I did create a mini course that includes 10 videos slated for Invision Community beginners. Those videos will somehow need to take the user on a little guided journey, so that might be an opportunity for us to crack the door here. Curious, what basic functionality would you like to see? Prefacing this that this doesn't mean we are actively developing this, but inquiring minds want to know 😄

growroom reacted to Fosters in IPB NEEDS A DECENT EMAIL MARKETING SOLUTION!
Hello, we have an IPS- Zapier bridge in our portfolio for our premium clients, which connects your forum literally with all other web services out there...
Slack, Wordpress, WooCommerce, GitHub, Mailchimp, activecamapign.. all of them https://zapier.com/apps
Our recent problem is that we can’t provide it in the IPS marketplace because it’s needs to be a custom modified / configures application for each client.. please let us know if you’re interested into such bridge and if you’re not scared of the zapier prices

I had resorted to mailchimp for a bit, but a native IPS feature would be awesome to have.

Guys, C'mon...?!
Why don’t you guys build your own, or integrate with some of the top email marketing solutions? We have all these “enhanced” features that integrate with other services, but the one that seems to be the most obvious is strangely missing. IPB community owners need a proper email marketing solution!
With all due respect, because I love your platform other than this issue..., I don’t get how you can offer a COMMUNITY platform with, so many brilliant ways to monetize… without a proper email marketing solution available to your community owners to use.
For that matter, why are you guys not sending out regular newsletters to your customers? That would seem to be evidence that you are totally missing the necessity for email marketing for any online community system, be it yours, or your customers. Peculiarly strange?
The bulk mail system is NOT a proper email marketing system. It has limited design capabilities. It has no metrics/stats. It caps your emails out to about 200-400 a day, if you have thousands of subscribers, this is entirely impractical. It offers no ability to make forms to capture sign-ups.
Do an integration with:
- www.campaignmonitor.com
- www.getresponse.com
- www.mailchimp.com
- www.mailpoet.com
( this is a plugin for wordpress that is SUPER light and simple. But it does everything anyone needs. It covers the basics. Something like this would be perfect ).
... or build your own.
Any email marketing system DOES NOT have to be fancy!... All we really need are the following features:
- A decent design interface.
- Metrics.
- The ability to send out thousands of emails in one send.
- Mailing Lists.
- The ability to make forms that can capture sign-ups in the HTML widgets that will then go straight into a mailing list.

growroom reacted to Chris Bell in Who We Are - IP.Board 4.x
my new install fails on completion, not sure why im being sent to a blank page,
the app installs but doesn't work as expected; i can see the function names on the front page instead of friendly names,
settings sliders will only move on initial config; then become sticky and will not change position,
please advise
