Hello,
I just installed 4.7.2 and to my surprise I can see there are a few applications that have been locked and my community is no longer working as expected 😞
I mean, the system is locking the applications. I haven't been able to install PHP 8 yet and now I find that certain KEY applications and locked and my community is not working as it should. I know you are locking for security reasons, next PHP 8 update, but there are will be many that will need time for the upgrade for various reasons. Locking the applications and NOT allowing to turn them on again is insane 😞
Now, my community is not working properly 😞 Why? Because, I rely on certain applications that are key to my community. 
For instance:
The Tutorials system that @Adriano Faria created are KEY to my community. Now, it's gone 😞 The Newsletters application from @HeadStand The VideoBox application from @onlyME The drip campaigns from @rebraf So now my community cannot:
Display the tutorials Display hundreds of videos Cannot send newsletters and cannot send the emails in the drip campaigns I mean, this is insane. You should WARN users, not LOCK applications. You are rendering my community USELESS with these changes.
When the update happens, the script should have said BEFORE proceeding.....
Hey, we checked your applications and the following ones "......" will be locked and disable if you proceed with the upgrade. Contact with the developers BEFORE you proceed.
But no, IPS installs the upgrade and now I am f****. Why? I mean, it's insane. You just cannot do that without prior warning and don't tell me to read the posts in the community lounge, that would be even more insane. I should have been warned that those applications are going to be locked PRIOR to the upgrade.
How can I fix this then? I will have to contact the developers, they will take time to fix the applications and IPS will take even more time to approve the submissions. It's insane.
I believe that the new 4.7.2 update has NOT been done logically and properly. I am seriously affected and I am pretty sure that I won't be the only one. You didn't warn about the applications that were going to be disabled and LOCKED. Ok, IPS forum works because you are not using apps from the Marketplace, but since you created the marketplace in the first place, you MUST WARN those who have installed those applications that the marketplace supports. You must warn users before they install a new forum version if the upgrade will disable and lock certain applications that could be critical for other users.
IPS has its own developers, 99% of your clients won't. So, locking and disabled the apps without warning BEFORE the UPDATE button is pressed is INSANE 😞 
Isn't there a way to re-enable them? Don't tell me to restore a backup. That wouldn't fix the issue that 4.7.2 update logic is wrong because it does NOT work that your community could be f**** if you proceed with the upgrade 😞
Thanks
 
 

The errors thrown by IPS are likely false positives. The application does not have any compatibility issues with PHP 8.0 in previous releases, but I do not believe there is any way to override IPS forcefully disabling the applicaiton.
I've submitted an update to the marketplace to address this, but it will likely take a bit for someone to review and approve it.

Good day @rebraf
Hope you are doing well. I just wanted to let you know that the Drip Campaigns application does not work with the newly release version 4.7.2.
The application has been disabled and locked because it's incompatible with PHP 8.0. I do not have 8.0 installed in my community, but ACP locked the application, and now the drip emails won't be sent since the application has been disabled.
Would you be so kind as to fix the issues and submit the new version to the marketplace? I rely on these emails for newcomers and other user groups and now the emails are not being sent.
Thanks so much for such a great app.

Thanks @Adriano Faria you are on the ball and even though you provided me with the two files that were causing the issue, the app remains locked.  So I will have to wait until the new version is approved.
To IPS I would say that you really need to inform people that some/all of their apps, even though they are Marketplace validated for 4.7 may cease to function because of these issues.  Some kind of pre-upgrade check should be made, rather than waiting until after the fact which then puts pressure on developers to update their apps and then get them into the Marketplace.  In this instance I would advise a more swift approval of affected apps so your clients sites are not rendered inoperable, which is an incredibly frustrating issue.

That is the issue @Matt these apps 'are' 4.7 compatible and they are in the marketplace.  I've received a reply from the author who has provided replacement files and the support page now shows no errors at all, but the app is still locked.
 
 
 

I'm curious to know why information regarding certain plugins was not checked before the upgrade began.  I have two applications that have now been 'locked' because of some PHP 8 incompatibilities.  My site is now completely crippled because the app that is locked is the mainstay of the site.  As it stands my site is now useless.  Had the below warning appeared prior to upgrade I would not have proceeded.

Same issue - My forum is messed up because IPS forcefully disabled the application! 
 

I notify Makoto about this since early beta of 4.7.2:
 

On top of sometimes, upgrade fails. Had to try 3 times, to get it updated. Just crazy, decisions from IPS lately... to frustrate their own customers and developers. 
This are the same developers, who have supported your applications for years.

I don't want to create separate topic... but I updated and same thing. 
This warning should be provided before I upgrade and not post the upgrade. 
The following third party applications were disabled: marktopic donate cjcontact bulkpm quizzes brilliantdiscord radtags communitymap ideas So now I need to request the developers to fix their code? Did those developers where given enough notice to update their applications? 
This is piss of play from IPS. 

Hi,
Just want to give you a quick heads up.
I did an update of invision community to v4.7.2.
Now newsletter application is locked and disabled by invision for containing "outdated code". I can't use it anymore. I guess it needs to be compatible with PHP 8 or something.
 
Hope the issue get resolved soon.

Just as a heads up, if you upgrade to IPS 4.7.2 Radical Tags get disabled and blocked due to outdated code issues.

i forgot to add more details:

New version submitted to fix the incompatibility with IPS 4.7.2.

I've resolved the issue, it was related to a setting I had enabled in Kitchen Sink application. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello,
The subscription system is a strong point of IPB and subscribers are often the pillar of a community.
Unfortunately, unlike products, it is not possible to display them in the registration form, unlike products, it is only possible to "force" the purchase during the registration.
Is it possible to propose an optional subscription in the registration form? 
Sincerely,
Kims

I wish we could have tags in canned answers such as <member-name> to be replaced by the name of the member we're communicating with, and the possibility to fill the title as well. 

@OptimusBain all good with the new version?

SuperHelp is just a template. Languages are controlled as part of the Pages functionality. If you want better language support, you would need to ask IPS for better language support of the Pages app.  

Eh, I'm just puttering on various things on the back deck right now (upper 70s, low humidity, nice breeze - yes...) so shoot me a PM with your site (and ACP access which I imagine I've already done with you before) - and I can look closer. At least maybe see what bookmarks is doing there to muck it up.

It's sad to read such news. The design of the IPS was an inspiration for me and an example of a user-friendly interface in modern times, which was directly developed by Rikki! You are a Talent with a capital letter! Well done!

It's going to be Bookmark. Specifically, because it stuck itself at the front of the list. I was doing an even/odd thing in the CSS to hide this and appending this button to the front breaks that. This whole area is a hot mess when it comes to multiple third-party hooks and such. Although... I haven't changed this code in ages - maybe there is better targeting available now? Checking. 
EDIT: So now I remember why. The targeting with competing plugins back in the day was hell so I just gave up and did the even odd thing. I can still do this with CSS using nth-of-types now (maybe before too - the mind blurs when you are down some CSS rabbit holes)
I'll submit a new version - gives me a chance to get the version language strings right internally.
