Ever since the introduction of the SEO friendly pagination \IPS\Request::i()->page has been empty. In \IPS\cms\Databases\Dispatcher::run you extract this data, and adds it to the request object. You mind doing this for other pages too, not just pages that use the {database} template tag?

hi, I thought we had access to all FA icons. Is that not the case? None of the sports ones work for me, such as 'fas fa baseball-ball'. I was really counting on using those sports icons in my app. They are listed as free, but I assume I can't do anything on my own to have them work, since I am selling the app? Was really counting on them because otherwise I'll have to use some generic non-sports icon for a sports app. edit: it says free ones can be sued for free, even for commercial use... but I am not sure what I need to do to get those working.

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.

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 …

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".
