Songstuff

Hi First time for me… I had to log in on visiting and encountered an issue. Post login I was presented with the message Invalid Client ID, but it showed my real name in the member drop down, I then went to the home page and it again prompted me to log in. I then didn’t re-login as instructed but instead clicked a community link and… I was all logged in as usual, with Songstuff displaying as my member name! What the heck? Either way, I did get logged in, so no huge issue, though, it is a bit concerning. Cheers John

Hi ATM when you bring up the block layout for a page, the menu on the left doesn’t have a courses section or live topics section for invision created content blocks. Neither is there an easy way to add such blocks to the pages module created blocks. Will these be available in V5? Cheers John

Excellent Marc. And that will move existing customers over with the product conversion?

Thanks Marc. That’s what I figured, but it’s far from ideal. Is there an easy way to move customers of a product with repeat pricing over to being community subscribers at a later date? There are advantages to listing a repeat price product as a shop product or as a subscription. Personally, I think a community subscription should be available within the shop as a special repeat price product… ie resolve the differences properly rather than creating a fudge of a subscription product that is kind of like a community subscription (except it isn’t listed at sign up iirc). I think there can still be repeat price products outside subscriptions, but community subscriptions ARE products.

Hey I'd like to make a paid course available only to members who have purchased a subscription plan. I can see that subscriptions are not available to be selected from the selection box when you want to associate a course with a product. What is the best way to achieve what I want to do? Ideally, I'd like the course to be available as a paid course to non-subscribers but alternatively available at no extra cost as a part of a subscription. Out of interest, why are subscriptions not considered to be products? Cheers John

Hi A new member has uploaded mp3 files to his profile About Me page, and to a comment on one of his gallery images. Mp3 files are allowed as attachments, and within the editor the mp3 file player auto embeds and the files are playable… However as soon as you hit submit those attachments just spin and eventually throw errors. I assume a permission is stopping them from being working. Where in admin can I configure what happens with mp3 files and where can they be uploaded/played? Cheers John

Hi I run a music forum. I have 6 pages that use PHP blocks and JavaScript. They are music theory tools, a rhyme tool and an interactive “circle of fifths” music composition tool. There might be others! What options do I have? Once upon a time I could code in PHP, but it’s been a long time and things have moved on. I haven’t any real Invision development experience. Cheers John

I’m with Dan on this. It would be useful if the person setting the poll could choose whether the percentages are relative to number of voters or relative to expressed preferences. I understand the case for counting answers but it makes little sense to hard code it one way or the other when a simple choice would allow it to be a poll or survey.

Fantastic. Sorted. 🙂

It is just in development with only one record in a subcategory. Database is Showcase Categories are Songs, with sub category Alternative. The one song is in Alternative. I created new database template set for each of the database template types with the exception of the edit form. The template groups are showcasefeat, showcasecatslist, showcaselist and showcaserec. From within the database settings I set the home page to be featured records only. Songs cannot be added to the category songs, they have to be added to the subcategory (Alternative in this case). The Articles template group is showcasefeat. I set the Listing template group to showcaselist. The Record display group is showcaserec. On creation I set showcasecatslist to be used by the showcase database. Within database settings I couldn’t see a place to set this template group. I couldn’t see a place to set it within the category override settings. The database home uses showcasefeat templates. This works ok. The category list that is home to the one record (database home/songs/alternative) use showcaselist. This works ok. The song itself uses showcaserec. This works ok. The problem is with database/songs. It has no records and one subcategory. I want it to use the showcasecatslist. With no place to set this explicitly, I had hoped assigning showcasecatslist to the showcase database would do it. Instead, the default template group CategoryIndex folder version of categoryRow and index templates are used. The database category settings allow me to set the list view but doesn’t give me the choice of showcasecatlist, only showcaselist, under the listing dropdown (the same options are available on the listing option on the database options page.). Am I missing where I can override this behavior and force the database to use Showcasecatslist categoryRow and index templates? Cheers John

Hi I have created a new database and created custom templates. Everything is okay apart from one thing. The category listing. Where the hell can I set the correct template? I created the default category listing and assigned that to my database, yet still the default categoryRow template is used. Can anyone help? Cheers John

I managed to resolve this… 🙂

Hi Gallery thumbnails aren’t showing. I’m not sure why. The original images still seem to be there. Is there a way to regenerate the thumbnails? Is there another way to fix this? Cheers John

Are courses not available to self-hosted communities? I might have missed it.
