Hello everyone, for a few days now, emails for forgotten passwords have stopped working. On the other hand, other emails like connexion notification e-mails from other devices seems to work but not everytime. I saw that a new update is available (4.7.15), and I don't know if it could solve my problem but I can't do it right now because it says that my theme is not compatible with this new version.

Here are the email settings so you can see if I've forgotten anything:







I'm currently using OVH to host the web / email server, and everything was working perfectly until February, I also tried to check if ovh changed anything for the SMTP connexion, or if I was running out of space but all is good, my mailbox is accessible and I can send emails with it by connecting to it, so I assume the issue is from Invision itself.

Thanks for reading me, I hope we can find a solution to this.

I did the update and everything went well. 
Damn I didn't know it could be something related to themes.

A huge thanks for the fast reply and for the job you make everyday Jim.

Have a nice day !

This sounds more like a bad theme rather than an issue with the installation itself. I would uninstall the theme and any incompatible third party applications/plugins rather than performing a migration. 

You should never perform a conversion with two Invision Community instances, unless you need to combine two instances.

In that case it would be better to perform an upgrade and not a conversion as that will merge 2 forums together.

What version is your old forum? As mentioned above, try to uninstall first all third party apps/themes and then perform the upgrade. 

Those 500 interna errors that you got, can you rember the precise messages?

I reinstalled everything. So I was on Invision 4.7.13, with no plugins, and I took the opportunity to delete all the themes, leaving only the default one

As you can see it on the screenshots theres only one app that I don't know what is it, called 'module__core_hive", can you guys tell me how I delete it, and If I need to delete it?

However, I'm willing to bet that if I do the last update, it'll crash and cause another Internal Error 500.

Alright so i'll give it a second try.
I will put back my old backup/database, remove all the applications & plugins, and I will make you an update as soon as possible.

Are you merging 2 forums together or do you want to upgrade your older forum to the latest version?

The upgrade function was broken too, whenever I wanted to make an update it was returning to a 500 internal error.
But yea basically I just want to transfer my members/forums/topics on my new forum installation.

Just now, Jim M said:

Let's start from the beginning. Could you please clarify why you're using the converter to move data from an old install to a new one? It is not meant to do this. What was wrong with the installation to begin with which warranted this?

Yes, of course! We had a lot of problems with the old version (some random 500 internal errors when switching from one page to another), or as soon as we changed theme, the forum would no longer load (even when using the default theme), and this was due to a bad forum installation by the previous owner.

That's why I decided to do a new installation, with everything updated, following the installation guide, but now I want to transfer the members, topics, posts and groups from my old forum.

Just tested a second time and got this error : 
  

Hello everyone, I just wanted to convert data from an old forum I had (based on Invision in early 2023) to a fresh installation.
Everything was going well until I wanted to start the conversion :



"No items could be found to convert. This may be because there is no data present to convert in your old database."
I don't understand this error cause the db is actually full of data: 



If anyone had a solution to this problem it would literally save my life.

I took care to set the value 777 for all the subfiles and files in my FTP

I tried a fresh install with new files and a new database, but I continue to encounter this error. Help
 

Hello, I know I need to contact support via email, but I can only reach Sales/Account Support, not Tech Support. Is it possible to get the backup, please?

Hello, I'm facing a big issue in my forum. I recently had a invision update notification so I did it, but suddenly I got an error during the update.

Now I'm stuck with this message 

Here is step by step (to understand) :

Step 1 

Step 2 

Step 3 

Step 4 (error)

The forum is not accessible since few days and it's critical for my project.

I really need your help for this. Can you guide me please?
Thanks

Fixed. Cache issue.

Hi,

I just encountered a display problem in the theme we are using.

The display seems broken and a message at the bottom is displayed :

Quote

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

The theme is based on the default one (it's not a purchased theme or anything else), only the colors have been changed and some CSS (custom) rules have been added. No modification in the JavaScript.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this without restoring the default theme and losing all changes made.

Thank you ! 🙂

Edit : I just saw this in logs : Error: Undefined constant "IPS\Theme\lk_slider_enable" in /home/viceove/www/forum/system/Theme/Theme.php(885)

Alright, let's find the official legal version.

About the installation?

Is it free on many sites?

Hi,

I want to use custom font, is it possible ? 🙂

I see this 

Quote

'Default' uses whichever font face this theme defines in its stylesheet.

How I define "default" in stylesheet?
I want to use this custom font : (LINK REMOVED)

I did this for now :

@font-face {
    font-family: 'xxxx';
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: url({resource="fonts/xxxx.ttf" app="core" location="global"}) format('truetype');
}

I don't know if this is the right method, thanks! 🙂

1. Keep in mind that Laravel won't take care of the proper output, so language string keys will be returned as hashes.

4d99edd69d5019629c6a37e13382fd0e is probably the hash for "Guest".

 

Yeah but it's the same in the AppServiceProvider like :

dd(\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name);

I for my project with Laravel 9 decided to use the user management of IP.Board, the user logs in from the forum and has full access also to the portal in Laravel, like commenting articles.

To make Laravel communicate with IP.Board just call the file init.php in AppServiceProvider.php

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{

    public function register() {
        //
    }

    public function boot()
    {
 
        $path	= base_path('../forum.***.ext/');
        require_once $path . 'init.php';

        view()->composer('*', function ($view) {
          \IPS\Session\Front::i();
        });

To get user data on a laravel blade I use:

{{\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name}}

I hope this can be a starting point to help you develop what you want.

Hi, thank you for your reply.

I have already tested this solution :

public function boot()
{
    $path = base_path('../forum.vice/');
    require_once $path . 'init.php';

    view()->composer('*', function ($view) {
      \IPS\Session\Front::i();
    });
}

I'm logged in the forum but in Laravel blade I got token like "4d99edd69d5019629c6a37e13382fd0e" when I call :

{{\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->name}}

Do I have to do anything else ? About session or cookie domain ?

Thank you 🙂

Hello everyone,

I come to you because I have a question concerning my integration.

I have User Control Panel made with Laravel (mydomain.com)
And Invision Community as Forum (forum.mydomain.com).

What I would like to accomplish :

• If the user is not logged in, he's redirected to the default Invision Community login handler.
• If the user is logged in, he's also logged in on Laravel (mydomain.com) and Forum (forum.mydomain.com)
• Have the ability to retrieve user informations (core_members) from the Laravel (username, avatar .. etc)

How can I accomplish this? (and in a secure way)

Thank you ! :)
