kdubmods Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 Well, I found (and fixed) some Forum Permissions issues while trying a post a new topic tonight. In particular, even I couldn't post a "New Topic" in the ROM Hacking Notes forum, let alone anyone else. Also, numerous other forums wouldn't allow registered members to "Reply to Topics"... too many to list! So, now that those issues are resolved, be like that old school ringtone (via Fabolous) and "Holla back young'n (hoo hoo)!" Quote
kdubmods Posted July 1, 2021 Author Posted July 1, 2021 From a previous support ticket about the default view for forums... Quote Q: How do I reset the page back to its default view where it lists the forums and sub-forums as the primary page content? A: You have changed the way in which your forum is laid out. If you go to Community->Forums->Settings you will see you can change the available layout there Quote
kdubmods Posted July 1, 2021 Author Posted July 1, 2021 From a previous support ticket about HTTPS setup... Quote Q: I started receiving a new "insecure form" issue/error this morning when trying to log into either of the following: https://retrohoops.net Is there some security settings I should verify, or something else happening I should check? A: Follow this guide... https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/advanced-options/configuration-options/using-ssl-https-r273/ Quote
kdubmods Posted August 9, 2021 Author Posted August 9, 2021 From a previous support ticket about URL rewriting... Quote Q: Can you tell me where that's located again (i.e. the reference to rewriting the "index.php" part of the URL) so I can change it? For example, I currently have: https://retrohoops.net/index.php?/forums/ I want to change it to: https://retrohoops.net/forums/ A: You can setup and enable URL Rewrites by going to ACP -> System -> Search Engine Optimization. In the description of the URL Rewrites field, you will see a download file link to download the ".htaccess" information for the URL rewrites. Quote
kdubmods Posted August 9, 2021 Author Posted August 9, 2021 From a previous support ticket about the Downloads context path (i.e. /files/ vs. /downloads/)... Quote Q: Where do I rename the context path for "Downloads" (default is /files/) because I'm ready to change it but now I cannot find the setting again? A: Unfortunately, this cannot be done (OOTB)--there are no means to change the root Friendly URL for Downloads which are supported by ourselves. This requires custom work, but check out the following forum for assistance: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/406-community-support/ Quote
kdubmods Posted August 9, 2021 Author Posted August 9, 2021 From a previous support ticket about turning a Featured Topic into an Article... Quote Q: How do I turn a forum topic marked "Feature" into an Article on the HomePage? Are they technically two separate pieces of content, as in I need to write a separate article? A: The Topic doesn't have to be featured to turn it into an Article, you can turn any topic into one. View the Topic, and in the "Moderator Actions" menu choose Copy To Database. You'll be prompted to choose which Database and Category you wish to copy it to, then you'll be taken to the Article creation page to make any edits you wish. If you want to copy the entire Topic, with subsequent replies as comments on the Article, be sure and enable the "Copy Posts" toggle, and if desired the "Show Item Message?" toggle. Be sure to save the page when done. Quote
kdubmods Posted August 11, 2021 Author Posted August 11, 2021 From a previous support ticket about the HTML <pre> tag in the editor... Quote Q: How do I add the HTML <pre> tag button to the Ck Editor toolbar because there are times the <code> button doesn't work for me (e.g. text alignment)? A: You can create your own editor toolbar buttons if you so desire. Please reach the following guide for more information: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/themes-and-customizations/editor-and-emoticons_327/adding-custom-editor-buttons-r134/ Alternatively, if you know of a CKEditor plugin which does what you're after, you can install those as well which are compatible for the version: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/themes-and-customizations/editor-and-emoticons_327/adding-editor-buttons-with-plugins-r133/ NOTE: Good idea, but didn't work well in practice. Also, continuing down this path (e.g. enabling everyone to post HTML with the source code button) is a security risk. Quote
kdubmods Posted August 11, 2021 Author Posted August 11, 2021 From a previous support ticket about changing the date range for an event... Quote Q: I need to find and update an old event because it actually occurs over a range--a couple of days. How do I perform that task because I cannot find the old event? A: Go to the Calendar page, find the desired event, and change it from there. https://retrohoops.net/calendar Quote
kdubmods Posted August 12, 2021 Author Posted August 12, 2021 From a previous support ticket about top level URLs... Quote Q: I want to make a top-level FURL for the following: https://retrohoops.net/files/file/22-nba-live-96-hwc/ Perhaps something like: https://retrohoops.net/live96hwc/ I found this guide, but it deals with parameters (or controllers),and AFAIK I don't need them in this case: https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/docs/general/routing-urls-r7/ Wasn't there somewhere in AdminCP that listed the FURL, and then the URL, and I can just add them over there? A: You can modify FURLs in ACP > System > Advanced > Friendly URLs. However, please be advised, FURLs are outside our scope of support so if you choose to make modifications we would not be able to assist and would need to restore the default configuration if issues arise around them.

kdubmods Posted August 12, 2021 Author Posted August 12, 2021 From a previous support ticket about creating polls... Quote Q: How do you create a simple poll and post it on the front page (via LoginCP >> Forum >> Poll widget)? For example, if I just want to say, which fruit do you like best: *Apple *Orange *Banana Do I need to add a forum topic first, and then somehow create the poll from that? A: Yes, the topic, with a poll, must exist in the forums first. ...lots of good dialogue back and forth with support (better understanding)... I completely missed the "Poll" tab when *creating* the new forum topic! ...some recap and notes... If you do have a Poll, when you are entering the Topic Title in the widget, you need to let the widget show you the choices that match what you typed. (May take a few moments) Now you can click on the Topic Title that you want, then hit "Save settings" and close the Block Manger. The Poll should now be in place. Quote
kdubmods Posted August 13, 2021 Author Posted August 13, 2021 From a previous support ticket about viewing polls... Quote Q: Can I grant Guests access to only view the polls, but they must be registered to actually vote? A: This can be done in the AdminCP -> Community -> Forums, hover on the far right side of the specific forum and click Permissions. If you set the Guests to "See Forum" and "Read Topics" only, they should be able to see the Poll (e.g. on the front page) but would need to be logged in to vote. Quote
kdubmods Posted August 13, 2021 Author Posted August 13, 2021 From a previous support ticket about changing domains... Quote Q: If I want to change to a different domain name only, but retain all my existing IC site data (forum posts, articles, etc.), how much work would be involved within the IC software? Can I just setup the new domain with the hosting company, and then migrate the entire root IC folder? A: Please see the following guide which shows how you would do this https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/advanced-options/server-management/moving-to-another-server-server-transfer-r282/ NOTE: Yes, it can be done.

kdubmods Posted August 13, 2021 Author Posted August 13, 2021 From a previous support ticket about my idea for a "check-in" post after registration... Quote Q: I want to recommend (or perhaps require) a "first post" of recently registered members to a specific forum topic. What are some ideas to complete this? Maybe during (or shortly thereafter) the registration process? I'm trying to solve a couple of issues: 1) Receive a greeting from new users, which 2) Verifies they can post (to at least that forum) 3) Keeps at least one forum somewhat active A: While you cannot require a post to a specific topic, by using group promotions you can require their first submitted content to be in a specific forum, after which they can be moved to a Group with more permissions. Just give the new user group ("Members" by default) permissions to post in only one forum, then create a new group named however you wish and with better permissions, and promote them to the new group after "X approved content items". NOTE: This might be how I handle the "Rookie Draft" initial sign-in idea. Quote
