All I Want for Xmas (late version)... I will gladly take a button, stuck in the header of any tab in the developers center, that when clicked will parse the relevant in_dev css file/s for {{if settings.myplugin_setting_thing}} As is, I might have reached my limit for working with this limitation and will, to maintain sanity, add in a ton of hooks that just paste in an accessory css class and then fill the css file with all the possible use-cases. (so the spammed css classes added in by hooks would be things like .myplugin_setting_thing1, .myplugin_setting_thing2, and so on). It's not quite double the work but it is a ton more hooks that wouldn't normally be need…

Hello IPS Devs, I noticed the "latest images" strip to preview albums on the Category Template does not honor the album's sort. This really is unideal, as images are intentionally sorted by caption on my site as they often tell a story, and the uploads can come out of order in terms of when they are uploaded. Can this possibly be resolved? foreach( \IPS\Db::i()->select( '*', 'gallery_images', array( 'image_album_id=? AND image_approved=1', $this->id ), 'image_date DESC', array( 0, 20 ) ) as $image ) \IPS\gallery\Album, line 744, method setLastImage That code should honor the album sort, or at least have an option to.

Hi there. On a costumer's server is showing only those options in locations: Due to that I can't install my translation (pt_BR). His support guy said it isn't a server issue, which I doubt. So, what should be done to fix it? It's their own server.

I'm trying, hard, to work with the IPS system calls to get more than 5 images per row in a Gallery album. ips.ui.photoLayout.js is the problem. The two key elements to accomplishing this are an easily changeable data element on an OL: data-ipsPhotoLayout-minHeight='300' That's just a simple hook to change that number lower to allow for smaller thumbs however, about 1/3 of the way in on ips.ui.photoLayout which is called by the gallery.front.browse.list js controller attached to this OL... /** * Run the resizing process * * @returns {void} */ run = function (data) { var initialHeight = Math.max( options.minHeight, Math.floor…

Hey all, I am building a main page that fetches data (news) from my forum, and I would like to be able to add a sort of 'forum image' database column, and a way to upload a file that I could fetch with my posts from the database. What I mean by this is if I have several forums, one called 'general discussion', one called 'suggestions', one called 'support' I would like to be able to upload an image for each type of forum, so that way on the main page, users will be able to easily distinguish between the content of each story/post. Also of course for a more aesthetic layout.

Hey, im having some trouble that my javascript is not loaded within my applications. I have tried it now in two ways: Within the controller action: \IPS\Output::i()->jsFiles = array_merge(\IPS\Output::i()->jsFiles, \IPS\Output::i()->js('clipboard.js', 'dvstats', 'front')); \IPS\Output::i()->jsFiles = array_merge(\IPS\Output::i()->jsFiles, \IPS\Output::i()->js('gamelistcopy.js', 'dvstats', 'front')); With a hook: abstract class dvstats_hook_hookJs extends _HOOK_CLASS_ { protected static function baseJs() { parent::baseJS(); if ( !\IPS\Request::i()->isAjax() ) { …

Hey, I just got a kinda different question, i mostly make some thoughts on parts i program and since i am not that familiar yet with the IPS Framework i wanted to ask here and collect opinions and suggestions. I basically want to create a form that filters data by every selection. To explain my dataset a bit more, i got players that playing games on my service. A game has 10 players. Mostly, the players play 3-4 games and then visit the forum to report someone. And I would like to adapt a really easy system. That does mean the report form should look like this: The reporter picks one of his recent games The reporter picks one of the players of…

Can anyone please explain why does the posts table inserts inline styles straight into the table? It makes it very difficult to use the rest api to fetch posts, as well as display them on my external site. I have to go through and manually filter out the inline styles with regex.

I am currently working on building IPB into a custom website, so there is a lot involved with that. I find it ridiculous that I have to pay $15 just to move the installation path even when im installing it on .dev domains locally on my machine. Is there something I am missing, or does development not adopt the whole development/staging/production life cycle, if I can only install it once, i would imagine that want me to do all my development in production?

Dear Support, while IPBWI for WordPress v4 is going big steps forward in development, I want to make sure to avoid piracy as I did successfully with v3 before - but want to allow sales through IPS marketplace. So here are my questions: Do have a feature to sell ioncube encoded, domain binded packages? This would require to allow customers to re-purchase an item several times for each domain they want to use and if both above are not possible: Do you allow to utilize IP.board marketplace API to sell a wrapper script first which handles license status and downloads/install encoded files on customer's host to enable functionality? As I am goin…

I'm wondering if it would be possible to have a new extension implemented that would allow us to easily add tabs to the User Account Settings page. I am increasingly finding myself writing hooks to do this, and it just seems like a natural place to have an extension. Thoughts?

Hi, Could you let us be able to retrieve the values of the Search result object? I'm thinking about system/Content/Search/Results.php (I think) I'm currently writing a very simple endpoint (outside of the API) to be able to return some search results with json. This is so another page we have can then use this "API" to query for some search results to display in their own manner. Currently I have a hacky workaround: <?php /* Initialize IPS 4 framework */ require_once('../init.php'); $disp = \IPS\Dispatcher\Front::i(); /* Do we have anything to search for? */ if( ! isset( \IPS\Request::i()->q ) and ! isset( \IPS\Request::i()->tags ) ) { ec…

Has anybody done ID-card or Mobile-ID logins for IPB before? In Estonia it's common that companies let you authenticate yourself with an ID-card or Mobile-ID. Then you can be certain theres a human behind every account. But it's not an add-on, every company have developed their own system. Have anybody done such system or are familiar with it? So far I have only seen platforms other than IPB using this kind of authentication. Is it hard to achieve in VS? Found some instructions here: http://id.ee/index.php?id=35748 Thanks!

Hi, I'm using the API to check if a user is logged in (\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id). I also make sure that he is not banned (\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->isBanned()). This works fine. However, some profiles are fake ones that did not respond to the registration validation email. e.g. And unfortunately when checking against loggedIn() and isBanned() these users still returns TRUE. I need to make sure that only active, validated users, will return true. How can I check via the API if a user is in the "members_filter_validating" category or not? I'm looking at this page but couldn't anything related to the registration validation …

1) As per title, I am using the Item form helper in one of my applications and I setup the option 'maxItems' => 1, I was expecting it to work like the Node helper which returns the single object when you don't allow multiple nodes to be selected: if ( !empty( $return ) ) { return $this->options['multiple'] ? $return : array_pop( $return ); } else { return NULL; } This is the current Item code instead, no matter what it doesn't even check if you have any results: /** * Format Value * * @return array|NULL */ public function formatValue() { $itemClass = $this->options['class']; $order = NULL; $items = arr…
