lang.php creates new translatable language strings in your language pack, but what does jslang.php actually do? Does it create a new language strings like lang.php or not? Can these two files have the same strings or not?

Hello, guys! Can you help me please? I tried to get access to $transaction->method->settings and to my custom $transaction->method->_sort() from /interface/gateways/mycustom.php. But I didn't do this. My script terminates without any errors and warnings. I tried to var_dump( $transaction ) and I haven't seen $transaction->method at all. What am I missed? The problematic code: $settings = json_decode( $transaction->method->settings, TRUE ); The var_dump: object(IPS\nexus\Transaction)#3 (5) { ["_url":protected]=> NULL ["_data":protected]=> array(16) { ["id"]=> int(321) ["member"]=> int(1) ["in…

Could we get a flag on this method that will allow it to return fields configured with "Member can see?" set to no? Right now, if I want to use such a field programmatically I am *forced* to issue an additional query, the field's value is not obtainable with this method, nor any method in \IPS\Member...

This isn't exactly a complaint, just more of a "why" question. I'm wondering why paginated responses don't return header data only instead of the full object. As someone who has worked with a fairly large number of APIs from various sources (and has written quite a few as well), I can say from experience that most of the time when you make an API call for a list of items, you aren't going to use ALL the information for ALL of the items. Most of the time you only need some basic properties and the rest you would retrieve by making an API call for the individual item. For example, if I'm calling /nexus/invoices, I get back the FULL INVOICE OBJECT for EACH RECORD. …

I have some settings for certain modules where each member will be able to define their own. In IPS 3.4 I usually saved these in members_cache, but that's no longer used in IPS 4. I'm hesitant to add my own database columns to the members table, since it eventually might become quite a lot of them. So what's your suggested approach for this? Should I create my own settings table? And what about member settings I wish to be more globally available? (And not just in a certain area) I would love your input on the best practice on this.

As per title. I overloaded the \IPS\Content class to always parse some things inside the content for items, comments, reviews and so on but because you are not always using the content() or mapped('content') functions I cannot make it a global replacement. Unless I add a single exception for each application... Here are some examples: Downloads > front > view > view.phtml template: you use {$file->desc|raw}, which bypasses everything, instead of calling properly {$file->content()|raw}. Calendar > front > view > view.phtml template: you use {$event->content|raw}, which bypasses everything, instead of calling properly {$eve…

I want to retrieve the current login_type for the logged in member on pages with the recently browsing-widget, so I thought I could maybe retrieve it from \IPS\Session::i()->sessionData. But that array is protected, and I don't see a method that provides access to it either? So it seems I would have to do an extra query to the sessions-table for the member_id in order for me to retrieve their login_type. Do I really have to add an extra database query to achieve this, or is there some way to retrieve these session values that the system must've already worked out internally for the logged in member anyway? If not, could you maybe add it? Actually, I foun…

So with the update to version 4.1.6, the decision was made to make breaking changes to function signatures that cannot be fixed with any coding wizardry or exception handling. Any thoughts for how you want app developers to deal with this? One Example 4.1.5.2 and prior /** * Hide * * @param \IPS\Member|NULL $member The member doing the action (NULL for currently logged in member) * @param string $reason Reason * @return void */ public function hide( \IPS\Member $member=NULL, $reason=NULL ) 4.1.6 /** * Hide * * @param \IPS\Member|NULL|FALSE $member The member doing the action (NULL for currently logged in member, FALSE for …

HI there. I have a plugin that mimics the Promote to Article feature from IP.Content. It works fine but someone requested to article author to be the same user who made the post or give the option to the user choose. So I added a select on article posting screen listing the post author and the loggedIn member: The author saved is always the loggedIn member. I've already tried: /** * Process created object AFTER the object has been created * * @param \IPS\Content\Comment|NULL $comment The first comment * @param array $values Values from form * @return void */ protected function processBeforeCreate( $values ) { if ( isset( \IPS\Requ…

I'm making a plugin, main logic of which is in the Javascript controller (dev/js/myscript.js). Is there any easy way to use language strings in this external Javascript file? Now I have to manually assign needed strings to Javascript variables in the template like this: var today = {lang="today"}; But I need a lot of language strings, and it's becoming too hard to use this approach. The same question with the other template plugins like {setting="$settingKey"}.

When setting $joinContainer = TRUE and passing in some $joins that require the container to \IPS\Content\Comment::getItemsWithPermission(), the query fails because the join on the container is added to the END of the incoming $joins instead of to the beginning. It results in the following: I've reported the bug, the fix, the reason why its a bug, and about 5 different support ticket numbers (those are just ones that I know of) showing the bug in action. I'm really trying to work with you here and be patient. I understand there is a lot going on and things will get fixed in due time. My frustration is that IPS support technicians continue to get a signifi…

As per title, could you update the icon library to the latest 4.5.0 version? I wanted to use the new hashtag icon and then realized that the suite still uses the 4.4.0 version. I checked on 4.1.5.1 and it's still 4.4.0 on it too.

Just wanted to say thank you for this. I just upgraded one of my dev environments to 4.1.4 and tried it out. Works like a charm, and so much less of a headache than previous versions. Thank you!

In the ACP, when we go to System -> Plugins. Can we get a "Download" option in the dropdown menu, like we have for applications? My environment is painfully slow in dev mode, so saving even one extra click is appreciated. Thanks.

I may have other places where I would wish for a table and form object to be returned, rather than it just being sent straight to a template or returned as a string. But here is a concrete example: Some background: Since upgrading a community from 3.4 to 4.0, moderators and administrators have several times told me they need the ability to view the full post directly from the IP-tools page (/modcp/ip-tools/&ip=%3A%3A1&area=core_Content_forums_Topic_Post). Having a link to the post on the topic title is not enough and makes it incredibly cumbersome for them to view the post content that has been posted from the IP they wish to review. It's currently one of the…

I need to hook into Downloads settings form (.../applications\downloads\modules\admin\downloads/settings.php) to update a hook but I can't because it isn't returning the form itself: ... \IPS\Output::i()->title = \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->addToStack('settings'); \IPS\Output::i()->output = $form; } It should return $form. Due to that, I got the error: It was like that on Forums app too but it was changed in early days of 4.0 at requests. Thank you.

I've spent a good deal of time trying to get the Wizard helper to work correctly in a new application I'm building. A lot of wasted time was caused by this, The error here is not that no file was provided in the above field. This is the error that always ends up being displayed for me when an exception is thrown anywhere during the Wizard's code execution. So, this was the actual issue here, which I managed to trace down after a lot of die(var_dump())'ing, since the Wizard had no means of providing a real traceback to the issue, There was a very minor oversight in the above code, which should have been easily identifiable. The favicons static method w…

can we get added to the __constructor's phpdoc, that if you do bother to fill in the 8th parameter of it on a editor, that the $id and $name parameters be different, or the editor will eat up everything after it and put it is as editor content.

on the activerecord, static method load(), for the $idField parameter, can we have it a bit more consistent? if i define a $idField it has be the full columns name, so if prefix of say "mine_", i have to pass it "mine_key", same with the static::$databaseIdFields, i would have to have "mine_key" there as well...when the rest of the class i would just call $this->key.

I have a custom app that uses Content Items without containers. Everything is great, until I added the ability to delete an item. I end up with a "We could not find the item you are trying to view" error. Eventually found the root cause in \IPS\Content\Controller, line 459. if( \IPS\Request::i()->action == 'delete' ) { \IPS\Output::i()->redirect( $item->container()->url() ); } Can we please stop assuming that everything follows the Container -> Item -> Comment structure? It's extremely frustrating. If containers are supposed to be optional, let's please try and keep them optional. I can provide other examples of where the structure i…

Honestly, I don't see any sense in doing this. You require us to inform a file name when creating a hook and when you install it, it goes away: I have nothing else to do but enter in each of those files to find the one I want to edit! You already stopped renaming the plugin folder, that's a HUGE step forward. Now please, stop renaming file names too. EDIT: other situation: sometimes we need to support a client and very often make some quick change in a hook while we don't release a new version. How to do that ? I don't know which file to edit!
