Hi, I wanted to clarify the process for any critical updates you may need to make that may potentially need a higher priority when it comes to a review. A critical issue would be something that causes a large impacting issue to your resource, such as a fatal error that prevents it from working. Submit the new version of your resource with only the fix for the issue, no other bug fixes or enhancements. Specify in the change log what the fix is for (so it's obvious to us what you are fixing). Submit a support ticket asking for an expedited review. Asking for an expedited review doesn't guarantee we'll be able to do it, but we'll try our best whe…

Hi all, We've been working on fine-tuning the PHP8 compatibility scanner to ignore technically incorrect things, but they are still allowed with PHP 8.0 and 8.1. Please see this post for details:

4.5 introduces some changes to CSS, so I wanted to provide an overview of those and how they might affect you. IE11 Firstly, we've completely dropped support for IE11. This means you'll start to see newer CSS methods being used that IE11 does not support. Atomic classnames One thing you'll notice as you read on is we're moving towards using atomic classnames for utility styles. What does that mean? Basically, each classname is just a convenience helper for applying one particular style. You build how an element looks and behaves by applying multiple classnames. While this is slightly more verbose in the HTML, it's also much clearer…

IPS 4.6.8 is going to remove following extensions: core/extensions/core/Sitemap/Applications.php core/extensions/core/Sitemap/Profiles.php So if your 3rd party applications or plugins hook into any of these files, please be warned. Everything else 3rd Party related from our changelog: I'm really excited about the last point. Now you're be able to set a member group as not deletable, to prevent that a group which is used for member promotions, or which is literally essential for your 3rd party code can be deleted by the admin. /** * Can this group be deleted? * * @param \IPS\Member\Group $group The group * @return void */…

Welcome to part 3 ( Part 1 & Part 2 ) of our series for 3rd party developers. Let's recap the interesting stuff: A new extension was added to the core app to allow 3rd party apps to extend the achievements. Content Items can be marked as anonymous We have cleaned up our code and have removed almost all the deprecated methods and variables! One if the most concerning changes for IN_DEV users will probably be our new ACP warning once the CSRF Key is being exposed in the ACP That's nothing to worry about, it's only returned with enabled IN_DEV mode, but please take it serious and try to avoid any redirect to any URL containing the …

Few months have passed since our last post here, so let's get ready to rumble🙂 Supported PHP & MySQL Versions: The PHP min version was increased to PHP 7.2 in IPS 4.6, this means that your marketplace submissions are required to work with this version, but keep in mind that few clients are going to use php8, so I would really suggest to try to get your code working with both versions, which means that you'll need to implement some changes to avoid some BC breaks in PHP8. Here's a great list https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration80.incompatible.php Security Improvements: I have mentioned this change in another topic today, so let's recap it here too:) …

Hey, we have published the first article of a series about upcoming 4.6 changes. We took the opportunity for some spring cleaning, so we have removed most of the deprecated methods! They were all marked as deprecated for a while, so you should already be aware of these methods, but here’s a full list of the methods and the new approaches to make your life easier, so if you haven’t already, now it’s the best time to review your code and make sure that none of these methods is used. Most of the changes can already be implemented while the 4.5.x lifecycle.

Deprecation of the interface directory In order to ensure Invision Community is compatible with modern cloud infrastructures we are deprecating the use of the interface directory in favour of a proper front loader system. We're working on a new solution which will allow HTTP requests to the interface directory. This means, any JS, HTML, GIF files uploaded there will work, even PHP will work, BUT you'll have no access to the IPS framework there. Last months common submission issues: All in all the quality increased, but there are still 2 common issues which are worth to be mentioned. Versions (again) 😉 Please try to pay more attentio…

Folks, please try to pay more attention to the version numbers you're using for your customisations! There's just another upset client who can't upgrade his file via the ACP - Marketplace because the system doesn't recognise the new upgrade release as "upgrade" because the recent version has long version 2800 while the old long version is 24344. I hope everybody here sees the issue?! The newer version is lower than the last version. Another common concern confusing clients and our backend is that some developers started going back with version numbers for their 4.5 releases. So from 1.4.2 ( 104020 ) they went back to 1.0.0 ( 100000 ) Personally, I would sug…

Hi and welcome to our new series of updates for our contributors. We'll highlight the most common mistakes, ways to resolve them and also generic improvement suggestions once a month here:) As first, I want to apologies that some files took really long to get approved, but we really expected that new submissions and upgrades would have a better quality, but unfortunately >60% of the submissions ( 90% in the first week) were still not following the new marketplace guidelines, which resulted in a devils circle. Let's recap the last months issues resulting in rejections🙂 Core Database changes. Version details not changed. Us…

We have removed the session id from the ACP urls, meaning that you have to make sure to use CSRF protections in all your methods which change a state! We also advice to use \IPS\Request::i()->confirmedDelete() in all your methods where you're deleting data! One of the few examples from the MP reviews is this code: protected function approve() { if ( !\IPS\Request::i()->id ) { \IPS\Output::i()->error( 'node_error', '2myApp', 404, '' ); } $a = \IPS\myApp\Item::load( \IPS\Request::i()->id ); $a->open = 1; $a->save(); /* Log History */ \IPS\myApp\History…

Please don't forget that marketplace submissions should be completely installable and uninstallable via the ACP, which means that they shouldn't include any additional files which need to be uploaded to the clients webspace manually. Applications can ship the custom js,image,font etc.. files within the interface folder and themes can utilize the theme resource system to add custom files ( JS, Font, Video, etc..).
