I have been thinking about using a email provider/service like Google which requires me to add a MX Record at the DNS level, I am kinda wondering if this interferes with how emails are sent via the systems in Invision like the contact us and so on. Does it matter?

If you do not own it, you can scrape the content. If there is a copyright, it is illegal.

This will probably be the interim solution, its not copyrighted data or anything like that. An older site simply has more information regarding flowers, types and species but it is harder to navigate and dated in design. The site also has traffic but no activity, no posts in the last 7 years. As I can't just join staff as the contact form goes to a email address that doesn't exist (tried and email was bounced back) the other solution was to shoot a question here to see if its do-able!

Not entirely correct. That will download the structure, not its contents

 

There is no way in which to export and import a  pages databases content. But Im suspecting here you may not actually be referring to databases as in the pages application, but rather the invision platform itself? If so, you would need to use the converters for that, and would need to upgrade that other site to the latest release to use these.

I am talking about a Pages database of a separate IPB that I do not own - but it would probably need to go through a converter, this part is true. 

If Website A is on older IPB 4, has no activity on the website but a trove of data around plants. 

Can Website B download this database on plants? convert the database and use it on their own site.

In admin panel I see also that the actual 'records' would not be available only the structure? So if the above scenario was possible, the individual records of fauna would not be available but only the categories and additional fields? 

Hello Invision Community, 

I am interested in downloading a different websites Database for its content, how would I start to do so?

I understand that there may be compatibility issues too. The site I am thinking of is definitely using an older version of IPB. 

I know I have seen this thread before, but I just can't find it or may have even mistaken it for the Badges thread. 

Rank icons must have equal dimensions, but is it best to do 50x50, 100x100, 200x200? 

Is there any general consensus here? For my site it might look just a little bit different but I don't think it changes much from IPB to IPB.

This is really the first major downtime event in years but of course that does not matter in the moment. Frustrating all around 🙂

Hopefully to be the last, it is a crucial time for me to grow my forums competing in the space around a particular video game that is sunsetting their official forums for discord. I am actively in a bidding war trying to sell my site to new users who were unable to access the site for 6 hours, luckily its back at all and this wasn't a worse disaster.

Our status page monitors this forum (which was down for 6 hours) and the US cloud platform (also down for 6 hours). Your screenshot adds them together.

I have to ask, how was this page up and the rest of Invision was not accessible? Is there any information public from Amazon that I could look into?

It generally means either your theme or a 3rd party item on your site is out of date. Please check this on a default unaltered theme, with all 3rd party items disabled

How can I troubleshoot this, enabling and disabling one item at a time? 

Hey Invision,

I am running into an error that says this

[[Template forums/front/topics/post is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

Not sure what it means but it is littering the forums and showing up instead of actual posts. 

The iconography disappeared with the last update. I am not sure what to do, nothing is throwing errors and the only change done was updating your application.

While browsing and considering additional features I cannot help but think of how Invision can better service me and my site as a customer. Right now, these plans have wanted features across the board that were more siloed for individual communities before but broken down now between new tiers. This a little late to the party to complain about; but part of the suggestion following the Cloud Webinar and the December 2022 meetings/streams. For me and my smaller community its simply not yet justifiable as our forums does not generate revenue for the higher price point of $549/ month $6,588 total annually but full access to analytics in this same Business tier could be leveraged for my platform to monetize with advertising and partners. 

It is an extraneous risk for me to go with this Business tier, when this is the only feature that I want/need. If I considered upgrading I would be overpaying for features I'm not using. However when looking at 'Team' or 'Creator Pro' the features listed make sense but its still missing the core data science potential of the analytics. 

Outside of support communities and that industry are at large, at a loss with interest waning with every new and competitive social option. Even in this support space, I have already seen Discord's new forums really take on the life of a supporting community to a product. Discourse follow a different design philosophy and find success in a newer generation and the yet to be realized potential of OpenAI query projects like ChatGPT. It's a little bit scary to think Invision's space is more competitive as the market uptrends. 

So I want to suggest a $280/m priced 'Community' plan between the Team and Business plan that would include full analytics access, or a different kind of pay model overall where one could pick and choose which application/feature they want on their site like the self-hosted options for the core products of Invision. A pay as we scale option makes sense to me, but I simply don't have enough information to really speak on that topic. Browsing this forums and others, it does not seem like many small active, growing communities/site owners are taking advantage of the 1.75TB or 3TB media storage in both the Creator Pro and Team plans. 

I would opt for the same price as 'Team' but with different features, with the next tier being a combination of the two but if we switched to a modular set up it would probably better service many more communities and clients alike and really retain value in Invision as a strong product.

If this is a topic already sorry, someone can merge it. 

Looking for the same. PayPal recently would require people to create an account before donatiing but I expect that to be solely because of PayPal and not over Invision. Whatever the problem is the process is not seamless. 

It seems like all of my renewal terms were dropped and every 3rd party application I have installed with a license to renew needs to be rebought when they already had been under a 6 month renewal term.. this is costing me more than I would like in this same space as renewal fees are half, if not less than 25% of the initial costs. Is there any explanation or investigation going on for this? 

Hello all, my website plan is the legacy Super 65 but I just now noticed it isn't even offered anymore. Where the new plans are higher in price with different options, will my community and effective plan be grandfathered and kept with the feature or will we be forced to close our account?

Upvotes and Downvotes are already possible with forums of Type Questions:

 

Oh I mean I knew that but a higher level easy to use up and down voting like bungie.net's I shared would be cool too. 

I was recently browsing a couple well known moderniized forums. My favorite one that I regrettably do not participate on at all is Bungie.net's https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/ 

I think there is some value in organizing topics like this in a mix of Reddit and FAQ forum style, is this do-able for Invision? 

Hello Invision,

I am looking for a developer to help bridge the gap between my website, Xbox Live and Discord server with the website as the top prioritized platform. In addition to this I am looking for more gamification of our website and a design that follows. I'm not technical at all so I am going to try to explain whats needed and the vision for it the best I can, sorry in advance. A little information about me and the community, I am Shawn have been on Invision for about 2 years now, Our site and community is about 16 years old, all focused around Microsoft's Xbox first person shooter title Halo and its fictional universe.

Design 

 I am currently looking to bring an older design back to my current site from a previous hosting service/platform.

I have seen working examples and can provide some; our current budget is $5k and timeline within 7 months with an additional $1k~$4k for following support. 

Please let me know if you are available and interested. We do also have design opportunities for smaller icons for ranks and other miscellanous. 

Getting frustrated asking for new projects in the https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers/ from people to no responses, forwarding to other inactive developers or suggestions to individual applications that do not even fit the end goal I am looking to be developed. Is anyone actually finding people that develop on here or looking outward?

Do you have the form permissions setup?

Yes I do, currently I allowed all to view form logs.

You can customise this by editing the forms/topic template.

Sorry I am relatively new to Invision, I don't know where the forms/topic template is. Could you provide a screenshot of a test website maybe?

On 4/29/2021 at 6:57 AM, Wesker289 said:

Also, do you ever plan to work with possible discord integrations so that when an application is approved or denied, it can DM that person?

@Fosters I would drop $500 on a Discord integration, something similar to this where the results can be accessible from the website and the Discord. 

On 4/27/2021 at 4:38 PM, Michael.J said:

As long as the log message setting is filled in, it will be included in the csv export.

Is their no solution to view the form log, and form input without a csv export?

Is it possible to change the format at which the application will output into a thread?

I don't like how the questions are bulletin.

And would rather change it to something else.

It sounds like the "Log Message" field is empty then. If you edit your form and add something like {field_values}. It will then have a log message.

Is it supposed to output into an excel sheet?

On 2/28/2021 at 3:52 PM, Michael.J said:

Remember to set the form permissions as well. If you view Forms in the admin cp and click the manage dropdown, you'll see a "Permissions" option called View Logs.

See I've set my group to have visibility from the groups and the form and still cannot see any of the contents of the form.

I can see  what was submitted only if I export the excel sheet. Which at that point isn't the best thing to look at as the answers are jumbled together.

How do I view the form results? 

I can see form logs but that doesn't give me what users input into the form...

Is anyone updating through the marketplace backend? Its not letting me for some reason even though my license is valid.
