As far as asking to be able to edit (Or add info to) the RSS, I'm asking is there a way to add information like "Author" for example, the person who posted the content. I noticed there is no "Author" node. As most places usually have Author included as well as a few other things. I was wondering if there was a tool, I may have overlooked that may allow us website owners to add more nodes inside the "Item" categories. As we all know, Information is great, the more I can provide, the more that others can take advantage of and make use with. There is a fine line between too much info, and not enough. I think by default, there is just not enough, and I would like to add to it. Of course, if it has to be done via PHP, then that is something out of my skill set, but if it is in a setting somewhere (Which i cannot find) then That would be just awesome! But honestly, I should have asked this in a different Forum. I am mainly trying to fix my RSS feed, then I would like to be able to add information to it.

Thank you. I have now updated everything and I have the same result. I must also ask, is there a place in the ACP where I can append the RSS, basically where I can add an author node for example? or is the only way to edit such, is by editing the PHP? I do realize I could obtain all this information via Webhooks, but I am still learning webhooks at the moment. It would easily solve many issues, but for now I am going to create things based off of RSS. I have created a Forum which is filled with content that is imported via RSS, and that works perfect. But when I am grabbing my own RSS that is exporting an RSS feed of my downloads, everything is all messed up. I can read my RSS from Forums (Topics actually), and that is all good. I would compare using this website, but Invision doesn't post an RSS for Downloads.

My father passed away 2 weeks ago so I took a step back to deal with my life, and since the next one was soon to come out, I was going to just wait until next came out. I will go ahead and update and I will update 3rd party apps as well, and run thru all my processes again and I will report back here once I have exhausted all my tests and ideas.

lol. Sorry, I didn't even think of that. The one I am currently working with is THIS one. If I post a link to any social media, the Embed always grabs the correct image, but the RSS instead shows the first image in the description instead. I played around and made an RSS for Forums, one for Pages, etc., and all of those seem to work correctly. It's just my Downloads, and the issue is the URL in the "Enclosure" node. I am currently building a C# application and I'm using my RSS feeds to grab some information for the application. but this is a real hang up.

Sure. Here is my "Downloads" Directory. and there is RSS feeds options at the bottom to compare with. My Website.

I cannot seem to find any posts about this issue, so maybe there is something on my end? I use online 3rd parties to repost my content to social media. I have been using Zapier as it is very fancy, but expensive. So I decided to try another service, and it reads my RSS, but then it was grabbing the first image in my description tag (So I thought!) I went to read over my RSS, and sure enough, the <Enclosure url="XXX" is the first image in the description tag. It should be showing the main thumbnail image instead. I went over to a few other sites that I KNOW use the Invision Community, but they are always a few updates behind, and they are not having this issue. I have been disabling 3rd party apps trying to figure out what could be causing this but none of them seem to make a difference. is anyone else having this issue?

lol, I would have not thought about that. I have heard many people have complaints of this same thing though.

Hey, just a random person trying to be helpful here. Mine is the same way, its a setting for moderators, something like "Highlight posts" in group settings i believe? if you go to your ACP and search "Highlight" you should find the setting pretty fast. It has been a while since i messed with that otherwise. I hope this helps!

Also the delay timer seems to not work. I set is for 1, it did the same as 1000000, and same as 1000. I am not sure if this is supposed to be in seconds, milliseconds, or what. Still using it though. It's awesome.

When i edit permissions, making a slider where one can see it, and others can not see, this is an eror i get: UPDATE `swiperslider_slides` `swiperslider_slides` SET `slider_image`=(IPS\File\FileSystem::__set_state(array( 'temporaryFilePath' => NULL, '_cachedFilesize' => NULL, 'exifData' => NULL, 'configuration' => array ( 'dir' => '/home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/uploads', 'url' => 'uploads', 'toggle' => '', 'custom_url' => NULL, ), 'configurationId' => 1, 'storageExtension' => 'swiperslider_Images', 'originalFilename' => '3.jpg', 'filename' => '3.jpg.8fc0d4645f86de0919b06f7e75a1bf33.jpg', 'container' => 'monthly_2022_04', 'contents' => NULL, 'url' => IPS\Http\Url\Internal::__set_state(array( 'seoPagination' => NULL, 'base' => 'none', 'url' => 'XXXXX/uploads/monthly_2022_04/3.jpg.8fc0d4645f86de0919b06f7e75a1bf33.jpg', 'data' => array ( 'scheme' => 'https', 'host' => 'schaken-mods.com', 'port' => NULL, 'user' => NULL, 'pass' => NULL, 'path' => '/uploads/monthly_2022_04/3.jpg.8fc0d4645f86de0919b06f7e75a1bf33.jpg', 'query' => '', 'fragment' => NULL, ), 'queryString' => array ( ), 'hiddenQueryString' => array ( ), )), 'tempId' => NULL, 'requiresModeration' => NULL, 'attachmentThumbnailUrl' => NULL, 'securityKey' => NULL, 'thumbnailName' => NULL, 'thumbnailContainer' => NULL, ))),`slider_permissions`='4,8,21,15,39,41,7,29,42,16,38,19,2,20,10,11,28,36,3,37,6,31,35,32,12,33,24,23,30,40,18,17,9,22,34,26' WHERE slider_id=2 IPS\Db\Exception: Data too long for column 'slider_permissions' at row 1 (1406) #0 /home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/system/Db/Db.php(1159): IPS\_Db->preparedQuery() #1 /home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/system/Patterns/ActiveRecord.php(520): IPS\_Db->update() #2 /home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/system/Node/Model.php(2494): IPS\Patterns\_ActiveRecord->save() #3 /home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/system/Node/Model.php(3316): IPS\Node\_Model->save() #4 /home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/system/Node/Controller.php(419): IPS\Node\_Model->saveForm() #5 /home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(107): IPS\Node\_Controller->form() #6 /home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/system/Node/Controller.php(69): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute() #7 /home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/applications/swiperslider/modules/admin/swiper/sliders.php(52): IPS\Node\_Controller->execute() #8 /home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(153): IPS\swiperslider\modules\admin\swiper\_sliders->execute() #9 /home/admin/web/XXXXX/public_html/admin/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #10 {main} Otherwise, this is a VITAL part of my site, very will made and wonderful design! I love it! I use Dreadnaught and I disable the default one and use this. Thank you again!

so you have the add-on apps, PLUS the ips kit?

Hey, while I do love this theme, I am having to keep it disabled. Without all the cool add-ons you made, this theme is pretty bare. Can you set the add-ons to be able to be used in 4.7 as well? The main ones i use is: Swiper slider (Currently using just fine) Background Picker (Disabled) Dark Mode (Disabled) P.S. I REALLY enjoyed being able to offer 5 different color Schemes to my users, they love that feature in Dreadnought. Is there any way you can make that an app? I would love to have it back for this theme.

Ok, I updated the AdminCP login credentials. But not the FTP. I'm pretty picky about access to all of that, if you need anything in there, please PM me and I will get it for you.

I apologize. I forget to update that, we have moved from server to server alot in the past and finally settled down about a year ago. I will gladly update that today. thank you for your time and assistance so far.

I will do my best. I was using the "Pages app" if that helps any. Hopefully this short video will help. I had to upload to my CDN so it will load up fast and play fast for you. https://iframe.mediadelivery.net/embed/24524/44a5f94f-a54a-4abd-84f0-0c7201006774?autoplay=true

{{$fields = $file->customFields();}} {{$fullMemberData = \IPS\Member::load($fields['field_5']['value']|raw)}} {{if $fields['field_5']}} and {$fullMemberData}{{endif}} hm. this failed for me too. im not sure I can use it this way. I'm sure i'm missing something somewhere.

So, If I am not mistaking, what i would need would be something like... {{$fields = $file->customFields();}} {{if $fields['field_5']}} and $fullMemberData = \IPS\Member::load($fields['field_5']['value']|raw){{endif}} I appreciate your assistance by the way, You seem to be the master of the pages app, I see thats where you thrive. I will give this a shot and see if i can get this to work. I mostly mess with C# so alot of this is familiar, but just different syntax.

I am having trouble with customFields displaying properly. For example, i make a custom field for my users to select another member that helped them create the uploaded content. So, in the custom field they are able to select any other member's name. This works fine normally, but whe i try to customize my page to put this custom field near the uploaders name, I seem to only be able to retrieve the members ID number. {{$fields = $file->customFields();}} {{if $fields['field_5']}} and {$fields['field_5']['value']|raw}{{endif}} I tried this many ways, I can't seem to get it to come out correctly. I did this using pages app as well for testing and i got a whole HTML code but couldn't ever get it to display correctly over there either. Does anyone have any suggestions? If I leave it original, it shows up in my side panel and will show the users name and it's hyperlinked to their account, which is what I'm wanting, but up by the uploaders name.

The author is brilliant, and he was working on a huge update with a bunch of new features. Last I heard from him was at the end of the school year, he said he was needing to put this on hold so he could study for his exams. Which I 100% agree with, as I am always happy to see people progress their knowledge. That was the last I heard from him though.

I don't know if it is blocked I the app store or not, if it is still there, it does work fine on the latest version of invision still. It is a great asset. The author who created it was pretty young and in school when I chatted with him, super smart. Bad part is when you are that young your interests change pretty often, so maybe he moved on. hopefully not though. He was super nice and respectful. I think support for this will have to rely mostly on the community that still has the file. If it ever comes to the point that it just won't work, then my plan will be to pay @Adriano Faria to make something similar. lol. I am already debating asking him to make a "Rocket.Chat" version.

Today I ran into an issue, I'm designing a "List" like feature where my members can post their custom content list. the issue is that most of them have between 2 - 8 hundred. For me to do this I was making a field for a name, field for a link, field for description, and 2 more fields. I got to making around a total of 350 individual fields and I started getting this error. My belief is just that this is the limit. Is there a way to create an array field rather than X number of individual fields? or would it be considerable to increase the limit of this array (Or whatever is blocking me from progress) What I was doing was just copying 1 after another and just changing certain values. When I was copying the custom field, this error popped up. It still made the custom field, but I am sure it is messed up, so I deleted it.

oof, I didnt even think of that. I havent updated yet, because of pure laziness. lol. This update doesnt seem to have much that interests me.

Here was my struggle, I got it to work, hopefully my mini tutorial with pictures will help others.

You are correct and I really did not think about that. If you would like to move this topic to a better suited area, feel free. I do believe that this info will help others who are wondering as well. BTW @Marc Stridgen I always appreciate your comments, you are usually the first one to help me anytime I need it. If I am ever to suggest anything for this community, I suggest we get to review the individual staff, I would give you a 5 star rating. thank you for your constant support! (Even if you were not able to help me this time, you normally do!)

@Jim M you gave me the idea to just go to the theme and do a word search for "Advertisements" and bam! So how I could do what I wanted, using blocks, is I can create a custom block and enter it there. Going to Blocks under the Pages App, create a new bloc and select HTML Then in the next page, I enter My info: (Using pretty much whatever i want here) THEN I get to enter the "Key" (I used the word "BetweenBlocks") Then save, and go to anywhere, and you can add that block anywhere, it works like a charm! Sorry if all this was Obvious to you, which I am sure it was, but others will wonder as well and I hope this will help anyone who struggled like I did. Thanks for your help!
