There appear to be limitations on the plugins hook system vs application hook system. For example, setting the default tab on profile view. The following works with an Application. Extending \IPS\core\modules\front\members\profile. Ultimately, the manage() method looks to see if a tab has already been set. If so, display it. Using the below, I can modify the request parameter for tab and set it to what I want. protected function manage() { try { if(\IPS\Settings::i()->steam_default_tab && !isset(\IPS\Request::i()->tab)) { \IPS\Request::i()->tab = 'node_steam_steamprofile'; } return parent::manage(); } catch ( \Ru…

My site has been having terrible errors for almost a week and is unusable. I've had my host roll back to an older version of my site but the errors keep happening. People can't log in properly, they log in as the wrong person and it's just a mess. As IPB3 is unsupported I can't get any help from the IPB team so I'm reaching out to see if anyone can help me. I'm willing to pay for your help! I have skype and discord to discuss things.

I'm adding suport to Rest API in my resources and I'm facing a issue in the categories. I always get the error: MySQL 1054 is unknown column in 'Field List' so debugging I see the error comes from IPS\Node\Api\NodeController_list(): protected function _list( $where = array() ) { $class = $this->class; /* Return */ return new \IPS\Api\PaginatedResponse( 200, \IPS\Db::i()->select( '*', $class::$databaseTable, $where, $class::$databaseColumnOrder ? $class::$databaseColumnOrder .

Two small backend additions that will not impact any existing code/apps but would be nice to have added for 4.3 (pretty please with beer on top?) 1) Google Maps render function needs updating. The sensor parameter is no longer needed at all and can be removed. Circa 2014-sometime this was axed. public function render( $width, $height, $zoom=NULL ) to public function render( $width, $height, $zoom=NULL, $scale=1, $maptype='roadmap', etc...) https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro#quick_example $scale is needed as static maps api is limited with scale 1 to a maximum of 640x640 pixel images. If we pass $scale = 2 we get th…

Hi, I want to add validation to the custom profile field input. Where would I go about doing that? Do i need to hard code some form of validation directly into the template, or could I get away with using the "unique" field type in the db? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

It may seem a stupid question but I really don't remember if there's a way. Long story short: I have a task that creates a topic and the post content is using the ACP language set which is different from the public side. User uses French in public side and English on ACP. As task runs on ACP, it is using English on posts. I can change a language but it's a per member basis and it is a task, not a member firing the action. \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->acp_language = $id; Is there a way to set the public side language in the task?

I'd like to "embed" the structure of a topic for an external piece of content. Would it be possible to render IPS templates outside of IPS (or maybe with an iframe) along with the editor and be able to add/edit comments to this content? I guess I'd have to create a content and comment class in the application to be able to do this.

Hello, Please add ability to add the argument "orientation" to the block template plugin {block="block_key" orientation="vertical"} You use \IPS\cms\Blocks\Block::display. That method has 2nd param /** * Parse a block for display * Wrapped in a static method so we can catch the OutOfRangeException and take action. * * @param string|int|\IPS\cms\Blocks\Block $block Block ID * @param string $orientation Orientation * @return string Ready to display HTML */ public static function display( $block, $orientation=NULL ) Of course I can do {expression="\IPS\cms\Blocks\Block::display('block_key', 'vertical')"} Thanks

Hi, Now that I have almost finished converting *a lot* of code from IPS3 to IPS4, I start to worry about security issues: Here it states that: "This means that all request data should be considered potentially tainted and you will need to take precautions not to introduce security issues by relying upon "clean" request data from this class.". But what exactly is the best way to do this "cleaning", before, e.g. inserting a user text in the database? Back in IPS3, I just used: "$this->DB->addSlashes" and I felt quite secure. Is there something similar I can do in IPS4, because I have a lot of code, and converting all my forms to use the new IPS4 Form H…

When we add the Member History extension in any 3rd-party and uninstall it later, it will leave "ghost" records in the member's history page: And when you set the board IN_DEV on member's history page, then you got: Maybe would be better to add a check to see the app/content is still available. Or should we handle this by deleting those entries in Uninstall extension?

I'm working on my first application that is using jQuery DataTables. I've figured out how to load the JS and CSS files by putting them in the execute method in the controller, however I'm a bit stumped on how to properly add the images that come bundled with DataTables and are called in the CSS. The apps CSS is here: forum/applications/core/interface/css/css.php?css=applications/tripreport/dev/css/front/datatables.css&v=18dfebd6d5 and it's looking for the images here which is throwing a 404: forum/applications/core/interface/css/DataTables-1.10.16/images/sort_both.png My question is if you are bundling images in an app how do you properly call these? I'…

I have two questions, and both ultimately relate to increasing site speed. 1) Serve scaled images: This is a big issue when I do speed testing on my site: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/uploads/monthly_2018_01/25659342_1970415423225776_8419745929309912543_n.jpg.7cf8f2906833dc4d31d5b69c3f045374.jpg is resized in HTML or CSS from 200x200 to 54x54. Serving a scaled image could save 11.7KiB (92% reduction). Do you plan to address this, or is there already someone who has? Any ideas here? 2) I believe it was a feature in the last major release that asked to create images for users who had none, which I checked. This created ~63,000 images, with thousand…

Hi, Looking at the diff between the new and old release it seems you botched line endings in numerous files. Especially after building designers mode files, there is a lot of this. Someone in your dev team not configured their microsoft(?)-development environment properly? Could you please correct this for your next releases again?

I am importing a large article Web site into the pages app. The site's current software is called Interspire, so there is no existing import tool that exists. I have a few basic questions that I am hoping I can get some help with, which are: 1) I need to create and display a few custom fields, for example a "Subtitle" field, which is something like a mix between a headline and the article. What is the best way to add the 2-3 new fields so that I don't break IPB Pages, the ability to run auto-updates, add new modules, etc.? Should I just add, for example, new fields to the end of ibf_cms_custom_database_1, like custom_subtitle_1, custom_caption_1, etc.? 2) Has an…
