Let's say I have 3 tables. They are as follows: users logins names The users table contains an auto incremented primary key as well as a user_unique which is a unique identifier for a user. The names table contains an auto incremented primary key as well as a name_unique which is a unique name to this table. Now assume that a user can login with their user_unique BUT they can choose any name they want. So multiple users will end up with the same name_unique. Inside logins it simple stores users.id (the primary key) and names.id (the primary key) as well as a timestamp. Here is where my problem lies. I want to show a \Table\Db of t…

When attaching members for a notification, does it need so many of the members table columns as to warrant me using constructFromData() on a whole row? Or does it only need a few columns like member_id and their notification settings? (I sure hope their notification settings aren't in a whole different table where it would have to do an extra query for each attached member... I'm going to assume it's probably stored in one column in the members table as an encoded array, but I haven't had time to go through files looking.). The reason this all came up in my mind is because I was debating how important it is to select only the needed columns. But the more I think abou…

Currently clearAll not support fine exclusion of more file, is possible to improve it for each store method? (like with a custom callback/regex/array) system/Data/Store/FileSystem.php /** * Abstract Method: Clear All Caches * * @return void */ public function clearAll( $exclude=NULL ) { foreach ( new \DirectoryIterator( $this->_path ) as $file ) { if ( !$file->isDot() and ( mb_substr( $file, -9 ) === '.ipsstore' or ( mb_substr( $file, -4 ) === '.php' and $file != $exclude . '.php' ) ) ) { @unlink( $this->_path . '/' . $file ); } } foreach( static::$cache as $key => $value ) { if( $exclude === NUL…

I cant seem to work out how to query the db using two params, there's not really any documentation that I can find and I don't know how to read through the source code to check. Anyway I want to do the following query: SELECT columnname FROM `tablename` WHERE member_id = 1 AND somethingelse = 2 I have tried the following with no luck: $row = \IPS\Db::i()->select('coin_id', 'trader_holdings', array('member_id=?', $member_id, 'period=?', $period));

I did a tab bar like the one on this very page (qa). But on mine, unlike on this site, when I go to my page, the content from all tabs shows below it, while the page is loading, before going back beyond the tabs like it's supposed to be. I inspected elements on this page, and compared to my own and any time I saw any difference, such as some extra div, I added it in and it didn't improve anything. And for some reason mine has 2 cWidgetContainer divs whereas on this page of this site, there is only one. It's frustrating. I can't even get the content in a tab looking right. I tried to do one with the same look as the "About Me" profile tab by using the richte…

I did 4 FURL entries for the same url, other than a type= at the end, where I could change up the friendly part of the url, but have them all point to the same file and method. I put type=one, type=two, type=three, and type=four in the actual "real" part. For some reason when I then use those 4 links, two of them have "/&type=two" and "/&type=three" in their friendly urls, and the OTHER two don't have type=one or type=four in the friendly url! edit: I jumped the gun making this topic, as I figured it out quickly. What happened is I was generating the links in a foreach loop and I accidentally had the seo template names reversed for two and three. lo…

I've always hated anything to do with design, but am trying my best. I have been looking through suite html files and also had read through help guides several times. For me it's a victory that I got a simple sidebar and grid on the page and the page title and a button. lol. Luckily I have barely any pages to do a complicated view on. Mostly grids and tables. 1. there are a lol of "data-" in them. Such as links with data-parent-id and data-node-id. Is there anything like that I need to be using when working with nodes and content items? Are those examples I just gave basically shortcuts to forming the url and data- is used where it recognizes what it's for? (edit: af…

edit: editing this where someone doesn't waste time reading a long post I have the answer for. lol. Summary: I was wanting to add an external url in a template for my sidebar and I tried tons and tons of ways and it kept adding my forum site url to it. It turns out I accidentally had a form field as a Text input instead of Url, so there was no protocol added in.

I looked through files trying to figure this out, but a couple areas get a bit confusing. I have a notification that is sent during status changes of the item. So 1. it may need to be sent to the same member multiple times, and can be different each time. and 2. the email subject needs a replacement word based on which status we have for the current send(). Docs seem to indicate that one reason to pass $item is for it to prevent duplicates, but it doesn't seem to even use $item in that manner. It seems to only stop duplicates for the current call to save(), by using $sentTo. Am I missing something? If I want to use a lang bit as a replacement word in the em…

Is there any function available in the framework to handle timeout period when querying a url? // Now fetch it and decode the JSON try { $response = $query->request()->get()->decodeJson(); } catch( \IPS\Http\Request\Exception $e ) { die( "There was a problem fetching the request" ); } catch( \RuntimeException $e ) { die( "The response was not valid JSON" ); }

Just curious about an opinion from someone from IPS on a third party app adding columns to the members table. I have some people suggesting to only add to members if it's a few columns, some saying never do it, some saying always do it as it's no big deal. I'm talking anywhere from 10-20 columns. I'm not trying to get anyone called "wrong". Just seeing if someone feels it's acceptable to add however many to the members table. Many apps do add it there and it's sure preferable to me, personally, because then you know every member already has a row without having to constantly do a try/catch and create their row. Plus then I wouldn't have to move their data for 3.x use…

I have a list of items <ul> <li>item 1</li> <li>item 2</li> <li>item 3</li> <li>item 4</li> <li>item 5</li> </ul> I see you have a UI widdget: ips.ui.pagination Am I correct in assuming this widget can create pagination of the above list? If so, how can I implement it? I can't work it out from that guide. Thank you.

Using the REST API, trying to move database records to another database category will always fail even for valid catagory IDs (numerical). Looking at the relevant code segment in \applications\cms\api\records.php it seems that moving categories erroneously assumes a blog is being edited. Can anyone confirm and/or suggest a workaround
