Como

Hello @BarneyLongden I have something like this; various labels are available for members to select via their profile. You will create the profile field here: ACP > Members > member Settings (Profiles) > click 'Create New'. (This will create a container for your profile field(s).) 'Add Profile Field (the '+' button). In the Field Type field, select 'Checkbox Set' if you wish to allow member to select more than one team; select the 'Radio' option if you wish to restrict them to selecting a single team. Note that once you have set the order, you cannot change it without upsetting existing values. This is quite the limitation for a list of options which might change over time. I do not know if name changes breaks anything - you will need to test this. I suggest that thoroughly test it out. If your website caters for more than one sport, you might have other lists for other sports (create another Profile Field from the main page with the same container). My use of this function is a little different - I do not use closed lists which are likely to change. Given the limitations with updating lists, you might like to treat this as a trial. If looks good, you might then contact a developer to create something more robust for you. I'll have a search around when I have a few minutes to see if there is already an app for this. There might be things I have missed in my notes above. Let me know if you get stuck and I'll try to help.

Hi. Is there a URL which will sort topics according to post count (low to high) and also sort each post count by post date (most recent first). I wish to find a way to list all posts in a forum which have received no replies, with the most recent zero-reply topic listed first. Thanks.

Yes, I do appreciate that. I just wished to make clear that from a management perspective it is no small issue, and for very active members who make use of long-running support topics. Thanks, @Marc.

Thank you for the reply, @Stuart. But with respect, so is the inability to update members within ongoing topics. Admins by their very role are more likely to exceed the 800 topic limit. But also by their very role, their posts/topics might be more important. Apart from the general inconvenience for all affected accounts/topics, it is a management issue.

Hi @Esther E. Is there a timeline for fixing this? I started an important topic which remains active well over two years later. But, of course, prior contributors are not receiving notifications when there are new posts. Is this fixed in 5.1? Thanks.

Hi @Marc. A new member received that message when they attempted to validate their account. Though, the message was via a Contact forum, so they must have subsequently validated their account. That's all I know at this time.

In what circumstances does a member receive the following error message?

Aside: I searched for the original topic - it was not returned to me. I had to use an anonymous window to search for my old posts about this. What is the rationale to allow guests and search engines to search for my old topics, but to disallow me (when logged in) from searching for them? https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/473694-introducing-courses/ This has been mentioned before, but as far I know, no explanation has been provided. It is strange and certainly unexpected behaviour. Is this a bug (or settings error) and reports overlooked?

Oh, I see. No, just the Courses module. Quests is of little interest to me anyway. The I last I knew - and this was stated to my by Invision - is that you had no plans to include the full Courses module with Creator Plus plan. Thanks.

Hi Jim, In the past, Creator Plus included a greatly diminished version of Courses, and Professional (I think was) stated that it included the full version of Courses. Now, the only mention of Courses is for the Creator Plus package. Does this mean that Creator Plus now includes the full Courses package?

I will add that I have noticed missing (on site) notifications for some topics. I did not take note of the age of those topics at the time. This might be the explanation. Something for me to watch out for.

Yeah, that works. Though, not exactly intuitive. 🙃

Hi @Jim M. Sorry, this is not clear to me. In the past - at least - Creator Plus included a slimmed down version of Courses. Is this still the case or is it now the full package? I think it has bee three years years since I explored it, so I would not necessarily know if this is the full package or not.

Looking at the Price Plan page, is Courses for Creator Plus now the full version? Or do some restrictions still remain?

Thought I'd give this a go, @Marc Test I copy/pasted the same URL. Like OP, it is automatically parsed as an embedded image only outside of the spoiler.

Ah. Thank you for the reply and explanation. So the apparent year cut-off was just coincidence. Although I admin my community, I do not create that many topics within a year. But I noticed this occurring in a more than 3-years old, still active topic I started. It is an important topic, so I do like to know when there are new replies. Further, I could be mistaken, but neither do I recall receiving notifications for new posts to the topic.

re: domain/discover/content-posted/ I noticed that some topics are not updated in this list. I dug around for a common factor, and just performed a test. It appears that if the topic was created more than a year ago, and I add a new post, the topic does not appear in the Posted In list. I note the following description: Is that note misleading and this is expected behaviour? Or is there a bug? If this is expected behaviour, I suggest changing it. This is less than ideal behaviour. Thanks.

If I understand your question correctly, unfortunately, no, it does not.

@Marc It is my understanding that @Joel Rainey would like members to still be able to view the profile of the banned member. @Joel Rainey The accounts of banned members cannot be viewed by members. The only access is via the ACP.

Actually, @Joel Rainey, you can use the moderate function, 'Restrict from posting content' and use the 'indefinitely' option. Another thought. If you wish to leave open the door for your banned members, and if you make use of 'users can see topics posted by other users?' for a forum, you might provide the option for the member to access this single space where they might plead their case for account reinstatement. And you can still change their moderate option to prevent them from posting to this contact space if they abuse it.

Hi @Joel Rainey What you might consider is creating a usergroup ('Suspended', or some such) with no effective permissions and assign this as the Primary usergroup to the banned account and with no secondary usergroups.

That's a shame. Like @opentype, I was hoping this would apply (or could be made to apply) to guests as a way to encourage registration. Though, I do appreciate Tease (as presently conceived) will be useful for some other communities.

If a member has permission to delete or hide their posts, and they delete or hide the opening post to a topic, this deletes or hides the whole topic. Invision treats the whole topic (and all posts from all members within the topic) as belonging to the OP rather than individual contributing members posting to the topic. This is unexpected behaviour. I long ago reported about this problem (as it relates to deletion of posts), and disabled the option for members to prevent this behavior. But I was recently contacted by member who needed to edit her posts beyond our our 30-day limit for reasons of privacy. There were far too many posts for me to take of this for her. So I added a secondary group with no time limit on editing and also added the ability to hide her posts. I did not recall (at the time) my earlier experiences with delete permission when I first used this software a few years ago. But even if I had done so, I am unsure if I would have guessed that 'hide' would also work in this anomalous manner. I did report here the issue with the delete permission a few years ago, but that topic seems to have disappeared or is now inaccessible to me. I do not recall similar behaviour in any other forum software. Is it just me who finds this to be unexpected behaviour? Irrespective, there surely should be additional group ACP options for Delete and Hide. Either as an extra permission option to hide the whole topic; or choose if hiding/deleting the OP affects only the opening post or all posts in the topic.

I tried clearing my browser cache a couple of days ago; it made no difference. But as it happens, it corrected itself today I'm on Cloud too. Though, it was only happening in one browser on one computer with me. I would have assumed that it was a problem with my browser, but thought there must be more to it when a couple of online favicon checkers seemed to indicate a problem. After @Marc's explanation, I again assumed it must be my browser. But give that clearing my cache did not work, your similar experience, and that it corrected itself today, I am less certain now. Not a big issue of course. I just thought I should let Invision know.

Do I just select the 'fix automatically' option? There are some problems with your database. Normally it is safe to try to fix these problems automatically however if your community is large, you may want to run the necessary queries manually. If so, the queries to run are: ALTER TABLE `core_pfields_content` DROP INDEX `field_1`;
