Hi guys, I'm trying to create a quote of the day Pages block to show at the home page. I have a Pages database with many quotes already and I'm able to visualize on my home page one quote. However, the block refreshes whenever caching time is over and I want it to refresh the text and pull a random quote one time per 24 hours only. In previous versions of IPS it was possible to control the caching time per block, but now it is not as long as I see. Is this correct? How can I somehow make it refresh only one time per 24 hours / day? Any extra code to put in the template for the block or something? Or any other suggestions to make this work preferably via a b…

I understand that Memcache will be depreciated in IPS 4.6. But what methods of caching are going to be available instead? From what I understand, only redis caching is available now. But you can't use redis with a MySQL database. I have Cloudflare... will that be enough? Advice?

Hi IPS, In the recent update update I noticed you upgraded CKEditor to v4.16.2, the latest version. That's great but it brings about some theming issues. I have previously included Moono Dark in my dark theme, but it's now outdated and no longer compatible. As part of the 4.16 series, they have changed their default theme to the much more modern looking Moono-Lisa. This means because it supports the internal chameleon code, it supports the hugely convenient uiColor config setting, to quickly change the color of the editor, either on the front end per user or globally. https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor4/latest/examples/uicolor.html There is a butt…

My app uses a map table for mapping containers to items. I'm trying to implement having an item be contained in multiple containers. I've got this mostly working by adding an INNER join of the map table when calling getItemsWithPermission(). But, I now want to select other columns in the joined map table and on return from getItemsWithPermission(), I want to access the joined map table column data within my Item Class. How do I access the map.* column data? $joins[ 'map' ] = array( 'select' => 'map.*', 'from' => array( 'myapp_forum_topic_map', 'map' ), 'where' => array( 'myapp_topics.tid=map.topic_id AND ' . \IPS\Db::i()->in( 'ma…

IPS 4.6.8 is going to remove following extensions: core/extensions/core/Sitemap/Applications.php core/extensions/core/Sitemap/Profiles.php So if your 3rd party applications or plugins hook into any of these files, please be warned. Everything else 3rd Party related from our changelog: I'm really excited about the last point. Now you're be able to set a member group as not deletable, to prevent that a group which is used for member promotions, or which is literally essential for your 3rd party code can be deleted by the admin. /** * Can this group be deleted? * * @param \IPS\Member\Group $group The group * @return void */…

I have created Page CSS. It works on the page with database. Now I would like to include it into custom block (Plugin) based on this database. This does not work: {{\IPS\Output::i()->cssFiles = array_merge( \IPS\Output::i()->cssFiles, \IPS\Theme::i()->css( 'myfolder/general.css', 'cms', 'front' ) );}} And using a template plugin, I get 'ErrorException: template_store_missing (0)': {template="includeCSS" app="cms" group="myfolder/general" location="front" params=""} Is there any other idea of how to include Page CSS in the block or other templates? Note: I do not have any app or plugin. This is just a simple Pages database.

Hi, I've been trying all week to get this to work, but it always shows as unparsed text. I have a custom theme setting with a list of radio options to choose from, each one is a font awesome icon. It works great but I'm trying to display the actual icon by each checkbox. I have tried using lang settings, tried adding a prefix, description, php in double brackets, targetting with CSS etc. The AdminCP won't parse anything I enter into the value fields for each key except as text. The individual fields don't have seperate ID's, they all have the same one. Can anyone please nudge me in the right direction, so I can display the actual icon next to each? …

I have defined a multiple Upload field in a Pages database for images only. I would like to display the images in carousel and need thumbs and original locations. I have tried this: {{$images = $record->customFieldDisplayByKey('images', 'raw') and $thumbs = $record->customFieldDisplayByKey('images', 'thumbs');}} But this does not work as the order of thumbs and images does not match. This is the order of the images in cms_custom_database_3 in field_10 monthly_2021_10/lake-6641880.jpg.eb13d74004f9c2719eecf920c705eaea.jpg, monthly_2021_10/redwood-national-park-6667452.jpg.f024a0c23e256de59503715f6a5809db.jpg, monthly_2021_10/forest-6631518.jpg.18a05d8e1196c48…

Hello dear Invision team. Ever thought about releasing an official docker solution that could work out of the box? That would definitely be a nice modern addition for everyone on the self-hosting license.

In Invision Community, you can use either your name or email to log in by default. Invision Community does not have the concept of Username and Display name - There is just simply 'Name'. However, in my community accounts are created from a game where people have Display Names (Not unique) and Usernames (Unique). Ideally I'd like to use the Display name as the 'Name' that shows up above people's profiles and can be searched on, mentioned etc, but still have the user log in with their username. Something like this possible?

I have made a PHP Script on my invision installation to bring back the newest events using the REST API and display them to the user. The trouble is that the API brings back all events, including events that are not relevant to a given user. I know the user id prior to making my request. My installation does not currently use oAuth. I wonder if there is some way I could query the database rather than use the REST API to avoid having to set up oAuth as that appears to be quite involved. Failing that, is there a barebones way I could let a php script impersonate a user using oAuth?

I am trying to edit the value of a users custom profile field via the REST API, but the documentation is as clear as mud to me. This probably seems obvious to someone used to dealing with form data etc. But I have no idea how an array is sent in form data. So I make a post request to this endpoint POST https://example.com/api/core/members/4?key=<my_api_key> What would the raw body look like if I wanted to say set customField ID 3 to 'Foo' and field 4 to 'Bar'? Could someone just show me what the body would look like so I have some idea of what I'm aiming for here...

There is a bit of mess with ratings and reviews in databases and sorting by Highest rated. We have 5 fields in tables cms_custom_database_X related to reviews and rating: rating_real rating_hits rating_value rating_reviews record_rating Depending on what we allow on database, they are filled or not. Case 1: Database allows stars rating (no reviews) rating_real -> not used rating_hits -> number of votes rating_value -> total stars (e. g. 1x4+2x5 = 14) rating_reviews -> not used record_rating -> average number of stars Case 2: Database allows reviews (no star rating) rating_re…
