Putting this here as a suggestion. It'd be really nice if links working inside the Pages App widgets (either links inside WYSIWYG blocks, Upload Image blocks, etc.) had the option to open in a new tab. That seems like a pretty basic option that would make life so much easier. Perhaps this could be a feature in coming versions/updates? Thanks!

Okay. Hmmmm . . . What would the alternative be to get an image button that opens in a new tab? That seems like a pretty basic feature.

I'm putting together a page using the Pages App and working with the "Upload Images" block. I've put in an image and have a URL included (making this into a button for my page, basically). But I can't find where I can set it to open the link in a new window. Definitely need to do that, and I'm sure I'm just missing it. Thanks!

Thanks so much!!

I'm working on making new images for the Ranks in our community. However, before replacing them, I'd like to make sure that I can get the stock IPS images back, just in case. So far, though, I can't see a way to do that. Do you have them somewhere where I can just save the images? Also, is there a suggested size for the replacement images? Thanks!

My developer says he did try the number change before asking, but it gives this error: Any thoughts? We're so close! 🙂

Thanks! Sending that to the developer now. @Matt @Marc Stridgen @Jim M Is it possible to remove the image in my previous post and replace it with this one? I didn't realize that I forgot to cover some info up in that one. Thanks!

Thank you for the above! That fixed the "Invalid Recipient" error . . . but not we've got "Invalid Sender". Probably something simple . . . anymore thoughts? Thank you SO much!!! This is the code: { "errorCode": "1C374\/2", "errorMessage": "INVALID_SENDER" }

That fixed the API issue perfectly. Thank you! Just one more thing going on here, I think. He's trying to get a message to send, but here's what happens: It's a valid account though: It's probably something simple, but any suggestions as to what is going wrong?

Thanks again!! Am sending this over now. Really appreciate you guys helping.

Got an update from my developer, and he's got a couple questions --- It was the .htaccess that was the issue. The one we put in yesterday for the pretty URLs is apparently different than the one needed for the API + Pretty URLs, but once I put that in, it broke the site via the browser so I reverted The good thing is that I got the actual API connected w/the software, but I ran into another issue. Once I made the call, I got invalid recipient. Below are the two issues lined out: The htaccess file from the API location doesn’t allow both browser and API access (probably an easy fix) The call once the API htaccess file is up doesn’t send (probably a misunderstanding on my part on how to send). I used member id 10 and 12 to try to send a test message. - - - - - - He says that what he needs is to find out how to get the htaccess file to work with both api and the site so that both are true. He also needs to understand how to send messages, and he thinks that the above writeup and screen grabs help to illustrate the issue. Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂

Thanks to both of you! I am passing this on to him right now. 🙂

Got the Friendly URLs all taken care of, and they seem to be working. But my developer is still getting a 404 on his API application. He tried with /core/messages as well as /api/core/messages. Any ideas on this, please? Thanks so much! Sure it's something small, but we're so close! 🙂

Thank you so much! We definitely want to be preparing for v5! I thought we did have Friendly URLs enabled: Do we need to enable them somewhere else? That's a good idea about the indexing, and I'm glad this came up. As of now, we're not open to Google and have not been indexed, but hoping to get open by next week!

My developer is working on this, and he sent me this to ask here: So it looks like in the documentation it’s wanting me to submit to a URL similar to this: https://forum.pinpics.com/api/core/messages When I try that, I get a 404 (page not found). I’m thinking it’s because friendly URLs or mod_rewrite isn’t on for the site but I’m not sure if that’s it. Can you reach out to support and see if I’m submitting to the accurate place? I can give them a snippet of code if they want to review. I did go inside the AdminCP and check, and it appears we do have friendly URLs enabled, but maybe not in the right place?

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this. Please move if that's better. I'm absolutely thrilled with IPS and what it is opening up for our site, and I'd like to move all messaging to the IPS software. Currently, my developer has created an area in our pin trading database where members can select a pin(s) to make a trade offer with another member. He has a small text box come up where the member can write a note, and then that generates a started message in the sort of chat system we are subscribed to now. We'd like it to generate a message in the IPS inbox. Is there some documentation on how a message is created in IPS? That way, my developer may be able to do this? Thanks a lot!

Great! Thank you so much! I will send him this info. 🙂

We're having an App made for our site which includes areas not on the IPS platform. Can Invision can be integrated into IOS or Android mobile apps?

Thanks. I'll have to look into that, then.

Is there a way to rearrange the "search type" options list, sort of like the menu manager? I'd like to move the "Members" option up on the list, and right now it's sitting on the bottom. Thanks!

Very excited to see this preview and definitely looking forward to some of the new features. It looks great! I'd second the idea of being able to use the feed view in some forums and leave others in compact. That would be really great, since we could use feed view for some specific areas, without having to expand some of the lesser ones.

Thanks so much for that! Actually, that's exactly perfect. I always do anything big like this shortly after the scheduled backup. The server tech has told me the time, and I'll try this shortly after that tomorrow. Thanks so much for the advice!!

Perfect. We have a daily backup, so that is good.

Thanks! I'll try that and post back about what happens. The worst that happens, if something here does not seem to go right, would be that I would delete all member accounts imported to the particular member group and start again, correct? Sorry to be asking so many questions. I just don't do well when not knowing what to expect. 🙂

Sorry. I probably worded that poorly. When the users come in to sign-in the first time, will it be the same as just signing in? Right now, we've tested it by turning on the OAuth to allow a couple accounts to sign-in -- getting them access to the IPS area. When they do that initial sign-in, they have to authorize the account access and agree to terms of service. Once they click yes, though, all is normal. Will it be any different if I import the entire list, or is that all they'll see when they come in to sign-in there?
