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…

Hi, I'm working on migrating us from vbulletin to IPB. In order to do this, we need a custom login handler, to handle logins via our API. What I did so far: Read (although it seems somewhat outdated, there is still some good info) Enabled DEV mode Created the appropiate file structure: Using the following namespace: namespace IPS\Login\Handler; And class name: class _Reborn extends \IPS\Login\Handler Extended the handler array in Handler.php with: 'IPS\Login\Handler\Reborn', I get the following error when trying to add my login handler: Quite possibly I'm missing a few steps, but would anyone know? …

'.*, ' . implode( ', ', $selects ) : '*' Could you add new property and change above code? For example /** * @brief Select only specific columns */ public $selectColumns = NULL; and $this->selectColumns ?? ( ( \count( $selects ) ) ? $this->table . '.*, ' . implode( ', ', $selects ) : '*' )

I'm adding a new content moderator permission on my app: public function getPermissions( $toggles ) { $return['can_convert_rev_com'] = 'YesNo'; return $return; } But it is creating a new tab: Shouldn't it add my permisison to the existing CONTENT tab? That way it won't make any difference in use ContentModeratorPermissions or ModeratorPermissions extension. Tks.

Quick question - working on developing a frontend notification plugin and adding a new 'type' within the notification preference settings. The column definition for 'preference' within the 'core_notification_preferences' table is set(email,inline). Would my plugin be rejected if on install my plugin changed the column definition to add a 3rd type?

Could you replace: /* If it's an AWS file just redirect to it */ if ( $file instanceof \IPS\File\Amazon ) { \IPS\Output::i()->redirect( $file->generateTemporaryDownloadUrl() ); } in the Downloads app (or any other places that $file->generateTemporaryDownloadUrl() is called) to look up the method in the storage method used for the file? I want to implement generateTemporaryDownloadUrl() in a storage method I'm coding now and have it used by IPS apps such as the Download app.

I'm developing a new Storage Method (call it Amazon2) to replace the current Amazon method. I've got public buckets working (I think), but I want to support private buckets in Amazon2. I'm actually using Minio as my S3 backend. Minio supports most of the S3 API, but Minio does not support ACLs at the Object level. So, I need to support private buckets to keep some/all files from being publicly available with just a "public URL". Private buckets require pre-signed URLs to download, but pre-signed URLs have an expiration time of up to 7 days and also have a QUERY_STRING (of course). How do I add private bucket URL support into my Amazon2 storage method? The c…

@Matt @Mark @bfarber Anyone can please take a look in the ticket #1038277? That's the 2nd or 3rd attempt to submit tickets with core bugs that simply didn't go forward because they happen on a 3rd-party resource, but the source is a core function. Calendar in this specific case. If it isn't a core issue, ok, then just tell after take a look.

I'm looking into allowing large files to be uploaded into S3 using the Amazon Storage Method. But, it looks to me like this Storage Method reads the entire file into memory first and "puts" its entire contents to the Amazon S3 endpoint. Is this correct? If so, am I going to have to implement my own Amazon Storage Method to override the setFile() method to save the filename instead of the contents() into the Storage Method class and later use a stream to read the file and a stream to write the file to S3? I think I need to use AWS PHP SDK to write the stream to S3, right? Something like this (using the S3 stream wrapper): $in = fopen($this->temporaryF…

Yes, I am fully aware I can do this by extending the KeyValue form helper class. Every, single, time I want to use something not a text input for the key or value. Can we pass this as an option like 'keyFieldType' and 'valueFieldType', defaulting to Text instead, and pass the field type specific options through to them with something like 'keyFieldOptions' and 'valueFieldOptions' please? For reference, I often use this field with the Stack field type, so such a change would need supported with this field type as well to be of value. For example: $form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Stack( 'my_setting', $values, true, [ 'stackFieldType' => 'KeyValue', …

Not sure what to call this, but in the lang files I see the href attributes set to an external value: 'filehandler__Amazon_bucket_desc' => "You can create a bucket in your <a href='{external.amazons3_buckets}' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>S3 Management Console</a> How do I add my "external.my_url" if my lang bit is: 'click_here' => "Click <a href='{external.my_url}' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>here</a>!" Where is this documented? I searched but came up empty.

I don't know if there is a good section for this topic, but the IPS community does not have a dedicated forum for technical support or soft-forum reporting issues. I have not seen such a section that would treat such aspects clearly! I have the latest IPS4 installed and I generated a block with the latest articles. This block has been integrated into the index page but the column that lists the latest comments added to the articles show my admin name to all articles, although I have not made the last comments !!! For example, there are articles where I have not added any comments but the block displays the last comment made by me on all the articles listed. Be a te…

The form helper is generally great, but one downside of the current setup is when someone wants a change to part of an existing IPS form. Since the form is created in the php file (usually in one method), there aren't many options for changing just part of one. You'd have to either override a method and totally replace the code (not allowed in marketplace), do a really odd replace attempt, or... I don't know. Maybe in 5.x have all of the forms similar to the content item ones where you set up an array of elements for the form, where you can simply overwrite an element? Maybe even have it also check for an existing function with the element's key for the function name…

I know right, a shocker, a weird request coming from me? bet you are all surprised. anyway, could there be two events fired for ipsmentions, first one when the mentions results are opened and a second one when they are closed. this way i know when a mentioned is being used so i can disable any special effects i might have for the enter key (like example in stratagem and babble, hitting the enter key submits the editor content).
