  1. I'm developing a pages database similar to the "Recipe" example described in the "Help Guides". This database contains a number of custom fields, some of them contain "number" fields. Now the idea is to be able to sort the records according to the number in the field, ascending or descending. I've activated a default sorting for the relevant field in Databases > Edit database > Option > Field Options When loading the database, the sorting works as expected. Problem: When sorting the records according another custom (number) field, the sort order is not correct anymore. Using a default field to sort records works with all fields, however when using custom fields it will show two activated fields in the "sort by" menu (see picture, not sure if this is normal). Sorting according fields like 'title', 'create date', 'last updated' works as expected. It seems though, that sorting according custom (number) fields does not work properly when using the "sort by" functionality. Does anyone have more info on this or can reproduce this on another pages database? Picture: Look of "sort by" when database called with default sorting active
  2. Posting interesting community content to social media drives some additional traffic to your site. However, do not expect that those visits turn into new members. While this can work well for you (e.g. if you serve ads in your community), be aware that creating good content requires considerable amounts of time. So does the maintenance of social media profiles.
  3. Are you using Invision's cloud hosting service? Perhaps the issue is with the registrar of the domain?
  4. Done and fixed. There was nothing wrong with the setup or the software itself. Here the answer from Invision Support: So when checking my admin e-mail account, the language labels were in the language of the ACP. Checking inboxes of test-users revealed that the labels were in the same language as the used frontend language.
  5. Thanks for sharing your experience. With the help of support I was finally able to locate the "troublemaker". It was no bug caused by Invision Community, but a server configuration issue. I had the PHP modules suhosin7.so and acpu.so in php.ini activated. When checking the PHP error log, it showed that suhosin7.so could not be found. I discovered that suhosin7.so is running on PHP 7 and 7.1 only, but not on 7.2 (the one I use). After removing the two modules from php.ini, all worked well.
  6. Update to this issue: I discovered that Registration/Login Methods (Facebook and Google) caused this behavior. Affected is only the pop-up registration form. Standard form works. Once I disabled the additional methods, it worked. Contacted Support, perhaps a bug.
  7. Ok, just learned in another thread that Invision Community is still using V2 reCAPTCHA (Invisible and normal). So this might be the reason why I encountered the above issue. However, after creating and using a new Invisible reCAPTCHA in Google and updating the corresponding keys in ACP, I still get the above error. Perhaps it will take some time until the new key becomes effective and I will check back in a few hours.

    reCAPTCHA v3

    Ok, thanks Jim for clarification. That probably explains the issues I've had with V3. I implemented V2 Invisible reCAPTCHA now, but I get the same error as with V3: "You did not pass the security check. Please try again." - But I guess I will require some time until the new keys take effect. So I will check again if it works in a few hours.

    reCAPTCHA v3

    Oh, just came across this thread after opening a thread about a problem with V3 here: So it looks, V3 is not supported at the moment and it's suggested to continue using V2 reCaptcha (invisible or not)? That would explain why I have some issues using V3 perhaps.
  10. Anyone knows whether the Invisible reCaptcha Invision Community is using, is V2 oder V3? Some posts back in January 2019 say, it is V2, but the link in ACP points to a page promoting V3. Thanks.
  11. I am using the latest Invision Community Version 4.4.10 and V3 Invisible Captcha protection for signing up new members. During a recent sign-up test, I discovered that although all credentials are provided correctly, the message "You did not pass the security check. Please try again." is triggered. The Captcha symbol is shown in the lower right corner of the screen, it seems to load correctly. The registration can be completed by just pressing the "Sign-Me-Up button" a second time. I've tested this on desktops (Chrome, Opera) and on iOS (Safari), the behavior was identical. The site and secret keys are correct, Cache has been cleared on browser and Forum-Level. I've also created a fresh Invisible reCaptcha with Google, so far it did not help either. So I am guessing the could be a bug somewhere. Anyone able to test their registrations using the same registration setup (V3 Invisible reCaptcha)?
  12. I am still evaluating a few options to integrate a job board and I am considering SuperDirectory. Will you be releasing it also for version 4.5 and if so, will there be considerable amount of time required to get it ready for 4.5 or do you plan to release it soon after the 4.5 release? And another question is, can there be different access restrictions (permissions) for the record view? E.g. for members only or for specific groups? Thanks for clarification.
  13. Thanks Adriano! Just for my curiosity, is the dev board a board that is used by Invision Community developers and App/Plugin developers, not accessible to "integrators" resp. regular forum admins?
  14. Interestingly, notification emails when following a thread are delivered correctly in the boards frontend language. Just the bulk mail and digest emails seem to behave differently?
  15. From what I experienced so far using the Bulk Mail and Digest feature, the language labels used in delivered mails correspond to the language that is active in the AdminCP. So if English is set as AdminCP language, related labels in mail contents (e.g. Here's the new content from your followed items for the past week.) are also in English, even though the used language in the frontend is another one. To send out mails in the same language as used in the frontend, the AdminCP language has to be switched to that language. My community uses German in the frontend, but I would like to keep English as AdminCP language activated. While switching to German as AdminCP language for Bulk Mails is not a big issue, this does not really work in the case of the weekly/daily digest mail (unless switching permanently to German in AdminCP) Is there a setting that I have overlooked or is this the way it is at the moment? Thanks for any pointer.
  16. I came across this blog article that digs into .htaccess redirects. However, I am afraid I am doing more damage than it would help, so I will probably leave it as it is. Goo idea? 🤔
  17. I'm working on SEO and SERPs issues and I came across duplicate URLs. From what I understand, a specific page should in general not be reachable via multiple URLs. I also learned that using a trailing slash or not is a personal choice and should not have an effect on the ranking. Also, one resource stated, that if a page is reachable (Status Code 200) with and without trailing slash, that this is likely to have no big effect on SERP but it will effect page authority as the link juice is spread over two URLs. Example: https://www.mysite.com/forums vs https://www.mysite.com/forums/ Situation For instance, on https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/ can be reached with and without trailing slash, both URLs report Code 200. Canonical tag is https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/ https://invisioncommunity.com/news/ (blog) can only be reached with trailing slash, ../news is redirected to ../news/, canonical tag is set to https://invisioncommunity.com/news/ On my site, the blogs main page on https://www.mysite.com/blogs/ is reachable with and without trailing slash and no canonical tag applied... Question: Do you think that duplicate URLs are an issue that should be resolved, e.g. at least for the main forums page? I guess it would have to be done via a 301 redirect in .htaccess? And how can I set a canonical tag to the blogs main page without modifying files? Or would you consider the results from an SEO perspective negligible?
  18. @Adriano, thanks and looking forward to any news when available. 👍
  19. Well, it's been a while since the community here talked about the job board app. Does anyone have news on this? I guess the project has been dropped? I am thinking to use the app "pages super directory" instead.
  20. I have been searching for ways to increase sign-ups and came across ideas like: - restricting guest access (core functionality) - attachments/downloads for members only (core functionality) - guest view limit (app in marketplace) - premium memberships (using commerce, paid or free) What I did not find is: - a function or app/plugin that can truncate posts with the idea to promote sign-ups. This would be less restricting than to ban guest access. - set permissions per post or thread (e.g. for use with forums, blogs). Both two functions are widely used on news websites, e.g. some news are accessible to guests, others not, and/or a teaser is shown to guest users. Did I overlook such functionality or app or does it really not exist? Would it be a good idea, what do you think?
  21. Thanks for the info, just another question: Would there be a screenshot of the importer function available somewhere? I was not able to find one on ipsbeyond.pl and on this website. What file format can the importer handle? csv, xlsx, others...? Thanks in advance.
  22. Hi, I am interested in this app. As IPS 4.5 is about to be released at some point (this year), will you be developing this app for 4.5 too? Once 4.5 is released, do you have an estimate until Company Directory for IPS 4.5 is released? Thanks!
  23. The way Amazon is doing it is a way to satisfy this requirement. Thanks for the pointer! It's probably what I will go ahead with too. In some countries this EU directive is implemented/enforced quite strictly, particularly in Germany. While all EU Shops are affected, those that deliver to Germany are a bit more... What "main product characteristics" exactly means, is a bit open for interpretation. But most legal advisers suggest to name the main specifications. As I work through all requirements, I will make a summary of it and once complete, I'll post it on the forums. It might be a help to others to stay compliant too.
  24. An example would be a physical product like a desktop computer. Title: IBM Pentium III Desktop Computer Short Description: Medium Tower, i386, 8Ghz, 400GB HD, 8GB RAM, DVD, VGA, HDMI, PCI Description: The IBM Pentium III family of computers is the latest addon to IBM. If offers unparalleled performance, both for office and multimedia applications. Processor: Intel Pentium III with 8GHz. The 400GB Harddisk from Panasonic comes with dual SATA connectors....etc....etc... Such feature is probably more needed when selling physical products. Although there might also be a need for example a subscription or when selling an ad. E.g. Title: Ad Banner 828x90 Short Description: Banner Ad 828x90px, Frontpage, 1 month, subscription renewable Description: With our top banner ads, your marketing will definitely get a boost....etc. etc.. By just putting more attributes into the title, the second example might also work without a short description. The above requirement comes from: Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32011L0083 It basically requires shop owners to display the main characteristics of a product right before the customers orders it. Just putting it onto the product detail page would not be sufficient as this is too early in the whole buying/checkout process. Here an article that describes it in full detail (german only): https://www.it-recht-kanzlei.de/buttonlösung-informationspflichten.html An alternative would be custom product fields with the option to selectively display them on product page and optionally on the order review page.
  25. Now I've found the culprit regarding the missing product filters. For some reason, they only show if I change in the Admin Panel the Language from English to German. Could this be a bug? Now just need to find somehow a way to add a shortened product description to the product title in checkout. Do you guys think this is a case for the Feedback Forum?
