Como

Where, exactly, is this setting? I was not aware of this possibility.

I was wondering if the embeds could be cached (without problems with copyright). It seems that Iframely allow for this. If it is just Iframely's HTML which is cached, and the actual content is fetched directly from Twitter, FB, etc., I can see that this might work. If, on the other hand, a hit is each and every time the embedded content is displayed to a member, that would be very expensive and not at all feasible. Oh dear. An automated way to back out of using Iframely seems important. A way to automatically covert all Iframely embeds to links would make it more attractive.

Agreed.

Tested it. It appears to have been some kind of glitch - it works correctly now.

I really don't think so. It is a site I rarely use and my edit occurred almost immediately after my second post. I'll go back and test it out. Since you cannot reproduce it, I'll inform the community operator there if this occurs again.

Hi, I do not have this enabled at my community, so I have only just noticed this at another Invision-powered website. When I post twice quickly in succession within a single topic, the posts are are merged. However, when I subsequently attempt to edit the post, the merged portion (the bit I wish to edit) is missing. I exited without saving and copied the the second, merged portion, and again selected to edit the post. I pasted the copied portion, edited it, and saved. Only the added, edited portion displayed. Given that the original content is not preserved along with copied/pasted/edited content, it appears that this is intended behaviour. If so, it is very unintuitive.

I created my own Contact page. I outlined it here: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/483929-contact-us-new-page/ The stock contact form is far too bare bones. We like to try and direct members to some other methods and resources for contact before using the contact form / email. I used the URL for stock form because I need to make use of Invision's email system and used this for a new footer link. But there is no reliable way to manage footer links.

It would really help to have a way to reliably hide the original 'Contact' link. I've done this, but since there are no element IDs in footer links, I used li:nth-child. But if there are changes to the footer list (such as some members having access to more then one theme (this adds the theme switcher to the lost)), it breaks my CSS when using: .ipsFooterLinks > li:nth-child(2) { display: none; }It mostly hangs together, but only because I have a single theme. However, there is a bug too. The contact form page does not include the original contact link, so li:nth-child instead removes my cookies link.

Can that be used with Invision Cloud? Having said that, space is not an issue for now. And is unlikely to be an issue for a long time. I just wish to avoid providing a huge amount of upload space to all members so that the few who really need it have it. One thing I should have included is that this could be combined with a subscription service. I think for some communities this would make a lot of sense.

As it happens, we are already considering creating some kind of privileged group for several reasons. I might add extra upload space as part of the group. But a monthly quota is what will work best. In fact, a privileged group with a higher monthly quota would make a lot of sense. I hope Invision some serious consideration. It would also help to have a size limit per attachment, and limits on the number of attachments per post. I might be asking too much. The monthly quota is the most important item.

Re: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/483796-monthly-quota-images-etc/ I have to keep increasing the amount of image space for members. This is fine for those who have been members for years, but for new members, this makes no sense. I suggest the ability to apply a monthly upload limit for each usergroup.

It was just intended as FYI - please do not go to any trouble for my sake. I tried two different browsers; but I'll check it against another computer to double-check that it is not sometime peculiar to the one I am using now.

Windows tells me that I would need to purchase a HEVC Video Extension to play your video.

How/where is this enabled? Thanks.

This relates to another topic, but I though it might be useful for some if I posted instructions (as a topic) for adding a a disclaimer (link) to our website footers. Re: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/481946-best-practice-to-display-a-disclaimer/ The suggestions in above topic are inadequate, and are certainly far from optimal. Adding a Footer LinkACP > Customization > Themes > (theme) > Theme Designer: Templates > Create New Template Name: Additional Footer Links (or whatever suits you) Type: Hook Hook Application: System System: front/global/footer Hook target: links Hook type: before the closing tag Content: <li><a target="_blank" href="https://website.com/disclaimer/">Disclaimer</a></li> Of course, edit the link URL to suit in the above. Creating the Disclaimer PageACP > Pages > Add Page > Content Editor: Page Editor Be sure that the page 'filename' matches the page in the URL (disclaimer, in my example, above) You will probably select 'Use suite HTML wrapper'. Be sure to provide page access permission for (all) your usergroups. Once you have created the page, visit it and use the Page Editor to add your disclaimer content.

I was about to install this patch earlier, and at the final step (to install) something cropped up and I left it for a while. When I returned, and clicked install/continue (or whatever it was), a message informed that it had timed out. But when I returned to the Support area in the ACP, there is no longer the optional patch. So, is the patch installed, or is it not? I have no idea.

I believe this provides what you are trying to achieve. But I've not used it. So if you have any questions/doubts, you should contact IC Essentials ahead of your purchase. https://ic-essentials.lemonsqueezy.com/ It is a generic URL for product details/checkout, so I cannot link directly. There are two versions listed on that page, one for v4.x and one for v5.

You mean promoted via their post count - yes? The members will be promoted when they next visit/login. Unless I am hallucinating (which I cannot rule out) there is an app (I forget who provides it) which will do this as a background process. I will have a look tomorrow to see if I can track it down for you if no one beats me to it.

Yeah. That's what I thought is the potential problem with the third-party app. I know, not definitive, but it potentially will make it problematic to use it in most forum situations, where content likely will be quoted and end up malformed. Maybe someone who uses it will comment. Thank you Matt.

Urgh. I updated earlier today and asked my team to look at it because I instinctively turn off to anything which includes 'gamification'. I too assumed that it was included in my tier (it isn't) since it was listed in the upgrade details. I will now tell my team, 'nevermind'. But it is an oversight - it happens.

Hi @Marc. Maybe I was unclear. Or maybe I misunderstand. Does the above mean that if use the third-party app to edit the HTML within a post, when that HTML-edited post is quoted, it will be sanitised and potentially/probably stripped of that added HTML?

Would that include quoted content which has had its HTML modified (by the third-party app or otherwise)?

Hi @Square Wheels That still displays for guests. It uses email verification. I have not tested Captcha because I use CleanTalk's AntiSpam app. But I have no reason to suppose it is not employed. Yeah. It is an easy way to reduce spam and it allow for additional information to be displayed (and/or collected) too. Heh. I do not have that problem. Well, our members are often not very computer savvy, but at least they do not show up at the door! 🙂 Of course you will wish to keep it simple. I'll send you a PM with a link to my website and you can try out the Contact link and form. Nothing fancy - but it works. And except for what I detailed above, it uses out-the-box IC.

Hi @Square Wheels Earlier in this topic, I described how I removed the popup link and added a new link to the actual Contact webpage. But I have since used the page editor to flesh out the Contact page using the WYSIWYG widget. If you use widgets to build pages anyway, this approach probably delivers what you seek. Works well enough for me. I added a WYSIWYG information block before Contact Us form.

You cannot edit HTML via the WYSIWYG editor anyone. However, there is an app for this. But from what I have read from the Invision team, they are less than enthusiastic about for reasons I do not properly understand. Perhaps someone else here can explain why the app should be used with caution or if Invision's reservations are overblown. (I hope I am not misinterpreting/misremembering Invision's views about the app.) The following linked post about the HTML addon includes a link to the free app: https://invisiondevs.com/topic/234-edit-html-of-posts/ I should add that if using the Page Editor, a Raw HTML widget is available, which might be an option in some situations. But if you need the ability to edit HTML in posts, the third-party app appears to be the only option.
