Hi, After update in the last version 4.4.5 and several blocks have disappeared in the block manager. The problem is with custom block when the permission for "who can view block" is not on "all". For example here I create a block and just me (administrator) can view it In the block manager the block not display (see my" test category" is emtpy) But if I check all for "view block" Now the block appear in the block manager and I can add it on the sidebar The problem is if I want use a custom block for a specific group, I can't 😞 Can you confirm it ?

Hi, What's the process that IPS uses to catch backend changes in the frontend? So for example, when a new notification is created, the user is notified without reloading page. Or when a new comment is added to a thread they are currently reading they are notified in real-time, etc... I would like to implement something similar and would like to use the same framework. Any info would be much appreciated.

Hello, In applications/core/modules/admin/languages/languages.php Method translate() Could you possibly split this method up so the $table-initializations happens in its own method and returned from that method? So the table settings can be easier manipulated by a hook. Ideally I think I would also like translateWord() to be refactored, but given you don't officially support adding columns on existing database tables, I guess I'll have to manage without.

Hello, we're looking into how to get away from performing open heart surgery on the production install and instead move changes across a staging setup before applying them to the live site. As IPS Community allows for lots of dynamic configuration via the GUI/database, I am wondering if there even is support for a fully file based, VCS friendly transport of configuration. Ideally, we would like to deploy any change via a git checkout and import triggered by the CI/CD pipeline. I am sure other people have looked into this topic already, but I could not find a good starting point in the docs / forum search. If someone could point me into the right direction, …

I am trying to add a custom login handler following this documentation https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/docs/members-authentication/login-methods/introduction-to-login-methods-r172/ but can't get it working. Here are the steps I follow: 1. Enabled dev mode. 2. Created a new application named "testapp". 3. In the application's developer center created a hook to the class IPS\Login\Handler (file name LoginHandlerHook): //<?php /* To prevent PHP errors (extending class does not exist) revealing path */ if ( !\defined( '\IPS\SUITE_UNIQUE_KEY' ) ) { exit; } abstract class testapp_hook_LoginHandlerHook extends _HOOK_CLASS_ { public static funct…

Isn't it decently risky using queued tasks, since offsets could be incorrect over time? For instance, let's say we want to send a notification to every member where column abc's value is 7. Well, in the time it takes to finish the queued task, members may have been deleted or their value in that column changed, but the offset is going to be based on the original set of data. Or would queued tasks be run quickly? Seems to me I have seen some sit around for a while. I know you can force them to finish, but many site admins may not know that or do it. And if the data set does change between the first notification and the last set of them, then some people could be …

when working with forms, you can add attributes to the form itself, but not directly to the elements of the form (unless they are predefined like placeholder, min/max, etc), for the text input can we also get the option to define the natural autocomplete for text input fields (not the ajax autocomplete IPS does, the one this field does normally). https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_autocomplete.asp i can define autocomplete to be off for the entire form by apply the attribute the form itself, but there are times i just want to disable it for a input or two and not the entire form.

How Capable is Forum 4.4.4 when using drop downs. I am brand-new. Worse than a newbie. That being said, here is my need. Currently I have 2 tabs, Browse & Activity, on HomePage. Before I get locked up into a lot of time that doesn't go anywhere I like to ask how this works. The 2 tabs on the HomePage and how they currently appear on my Forum. Browse: Forms Drop Down Menu, Forms, Downloads, Blogs, Staff, Online Users, Leaderboard Activity: All Activity, My Activity Streams, Unread Content, Content| Started, Search I have been playing around a bit so I might've put things where they don't belong such as Drop Down Menus.

Have you investigated at all running IPS4 using the RoadRunner PHP application server? If not, I would appreciate some IPS dev looking into it. With RoadRunner you might be able to package IPS4 in a docker image for easy deployment using containers (or even directly on a Linux/Windows/Mac server). RoadRunner supports standards such as PSR-7 and gRPC for communicating between the server and the PHP application. Also, it is open source: https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner I think this might allow your customers that can run a Go binary (which is just about everyone) to get an Invision Community site installed and ready for ACP configuration in just minu…

I wish IPS would just have third party devs add app keys they want to use to some IPS database where we can be sure not to use someone else's key. I obviously don't want to use a key that it turns out someone else uses... so I feel like I have to make some weird app key to be more likely to be unique, rather than ones that are simple words alone. I think someone else already ran into the issue by using a key I used first, for instance, so I am trying to be sure I don't run into the same thing. 🙂 Of course on apps I am updating, I am stuck with whatever keys I used in the past (well, unless I want to spend a long time coming up with code to rename it or change table …

Hey, I would like to add group sorting to my plugin. Based on the possibility of sorting from this plugin: I added the settings accordingly and led the plug to the state of operation as in the "Group Name Indicator". I added sorting in php: public function SecondaryGroupsIndicator() { try { $groups = array(); $selectedGroups = explode( ',', \IPS\Settings::i()->ips1s2ktest ); if ( \count( $selectedGroups ) ) { foreach( $selectedGroups as $groupId ) { if( \array_key_exists( $groupId, \IPS\Member\Group::groups() ) ) { $groups[] = \IPS\Member\Group::load( $groupId ); } } } return $groups; } } …

I'm testing my site today and got an email notification when I changed my test user's email address. Here is the message in the email: My question is: How is the user to respond to this if they didn't make the change? Shouldn't the email have some sort of explanation as to what to do next, even if it is to use the Contact Us link or a Support link? I'm sure I'll figure out how to change this text for my new site, but just wondering what the user is supposed to do. On my site they can only log in with an email address and since this email is sent to the old email address and the email address changed to somebody else's email address and that someb…

Hi, After writing a custom login handler, a new issue appeared: What about unique emails? Our application allows a single user to have multiple identities. Say they have one super account, and many sub accounts. The super account contains information such as email, first & last name, password, etc. The sub account contains information such as nickname/username. Because of this model, many "nicknames" may have the same email. When a user authenticates with the custom login handler, I see 3 things I could do: Prompt the user for the email they want to use. I don't know what will happen if they pick one that's already in use. Probably they…

Hello, Referring to the code @newbie LAC in my previous topic, I'm trying to get the groups out of display. I try this: if (isset($allGroups[$sid]) = explode(',', \IPS\Settings::i()->ips1s2kSGIExclude)) unset($allGroups[$sid]); But I get an error: "Your code caused a parse error and could not be saved.". At this moment the error causes "\IPS\Settings::i()->ips1s2kSGIExclude". I added the settings to the plugin and added the code: $form->add(new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Select('ips1s2kSGIExclude', \IPS\Settings::i()->ips1s2kSGIExclude === '' ? '*' : (\IPS\Settings::i()->ips1s2kSGIExclude === '*' ? '*' : explode(',', \IPS\Settings::i()->ips1…

Hello, I am working on an api for one of my projects and I need to compare the user's password to the hash of a given string. I am kind of unsure how the passwords are being hashed i've tried using crypt method and md5 and can't seem to get it. Anyone know what I need to do in order to hash the password for the user correctly? // Something I have tried, which seems to not work due to no data being in the members_pass_salt colum $pass_hash = crypt($pass, '$2a$13$' . $member->members_pass_salt);

I working on a custom sign up form for my site. I basically copied the form out of register.php and implemented a hook to provide my own fields. But the resulting form displays "This field is required" sometimes prefixed with an icon and sometimes not. I suppose that the fields validated by JavaScript are putting out an icon and the PHP validated fields are omitting the icon. How to I make all these messages look the same? Can you fix the core JS and PHP to make them the same, or am I going to have to develop a hook to make them consistent on my site? Here is a screenshot of my current Sign Up form:

I've decided for a site I'm building to not use Auto-Increment columns as the Primary Key in my apps, but use 64-bit UUIDs instead. But I want all visible IDs to be shorter and often visible to the user. For my member ids, I changed to set member ids to a 9 digit number, e.g., 220-04-3439 so they are easy to remember (much like an SSN), but still have the ability to add up to 1 billion members with unique ids. I'm using the member id as the username in a site-specific email address, e.g., 220043439@mysite.com so users can send private messages to each other without knowing the registered email address of the recipient. The site will forward all received email to the regis…
