jimkeypro Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Just a quick note to say : I've recently purchased this and had a number of problems with setting it up. Marchers support and responiveness was without equal in my experience. I've never experienced such a superb level of service from a mod developer for any product on any software platform. Thank you again for the product and the support. Link to comment
KiteLife Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Agreed on the support, and Marcher is FAST. :) Link to comment
Max Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 We are looking for something that will let us: 1. Start a new forum thread for every Wordpress post 2. Use the forum thread to replace WP comments So basically at the bottom of each Wordpress post would be the IPB thread. So it looks like traditional blog comments. Can I do that with this plugin? If so we will buy it right away. Thanks. Link to comment

boon79 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hi, When I activate the latest topic widget I get this error: Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/******/public_html/******/wp-content/plugins/ipsconnect/widgets/topics.php on line 52 weird... that's not a string, it is initialized as an array, cast as an array, populated as an array... regardless, I went ahead and reworked the widgets code a bit more to avoid this possibility. I've updated the files but I still get this issue. Link to comment
Marcher Technologies Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 exact same line? show me err code for this one or give me access: $_stats = get_option('ipsConnectTopics'); $last = (is_array($_stats) && isset($_stats[$stKey]) && isset($_stats[$stKey]['cache_last'])) ? $_stats[$stKey]['cache_last'] : 0; edit: just give me access please..... cannot reproduce.

Access is the same as with the previous issue. ::sheepish:: ok, fixed. now trying to figure out why the good lord above hates me, cause he must, UTF-8 WP, IPB charsets, CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci databases, � appearing for some topic title chars. regardless, I've rolled that fix into the download now, along with the extra topics widget options you preview(thank satori) and Globally Disable any or all XML-RPC Widgets, an XML-RPC Debug panel and visible enabled status in settings for my own freaking sanity. ;) should re-download anyway.... will look into the char oddity further on your site shortly.

Marcher Technologies Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I basically destroyed myself on ^ this weekend, packaging...... the download folder structure is going to change as I have IPB upload needs now as well. The XML-RPC Debug area will ALWAYS list the methods in use, this is useful as a guide for what to enable for YOUR use-case as well, the readme will always list all of them to be enabled in the install instructions the excerpt will be used for OP if supplied. As a safety precaution, groups that can access the IPB ACP and the guest_group(this is not a security precaution so much as it being impossible to do) are not available to be treated as guests..... thank oldlock for this unusual use case.

Marcher Technologies Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 File Updated: Option to treat specified IPB Group's Users as guests in WP[1][3]. Option to exclude Blog owner from the above option[1][3]. Option to post a new IPB Topic for every WP Post in a specified forum[1][3]. Option to post a new IPB Post for every WP Comment in reply to the IPB Topic made for the WP Post[1][3]. Completely replacing the wordpress comments list is a dooooozy, as such did not make this version. Link to comment
KiteLife Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 File Updated: Option to post a new IPB Topic for every WP Post in a specified forum[1][3]. Sweet. :smile: When these IPB posts are created, SSO takes affect (IPB user / WP author matching)? Completely replacing the wordpress comments list is a dooooozy, as such did not make this version. I hope you can swing this in a future version, good luck sir! Thanks, I'm blown away at how full featured this plugin has become - no problems with SSO since installing. :smile: Link to comment
Demon_skeith Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Been waiting for this update, I will be buying it soon! One question though will this affect post count? As in when a article/comment is posted on WP and the topic/comments is made on IPB will the user's post amount increase? Link to comment
boon79 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Any progress on the character issue? Link to comment

I hope you can swing this in a future version, good luck sir! Thanks, I'm blown away at how full featured this plugin has become - no problems with SSO since installing. :smile: If the user has a 'connect_id'(I'm being less than precise for simplicity's sake, it's stored locally completely differently than it is passed key-wise while retaining value), as in, has been SSO'd, or logged in since plugin install, it will pass IPB the 'connect_id' to post with, as that is the IPB member_id. OTHERWISE.... it falls back upon the setting for login type, passing the 'member_field' and 'member_key' for each type to IPB based upon it. The hitch is.... IPB won't post if the member doesn't exist over there, or they cannot actually reply to the topic, may look at adding a fallback member setting. Been waiting for this update, I will be buying it soon! One question though will this affect post count? As in when a article/comment is posted on WP and the topic/comments is made on IPB will the user's post amount increase? Yes.... it IS posting it as them, in effect, and I MUST note you MUST check your forum permissions, replies, or comment, DO honor the permissions, so if you are having trouble with comments not posting, check the permissions of the forum you selected, ensure the user can actually post replies there :P.

Marcher Technologies Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Any progress on the character issue? slow, but getting on top of it. >.< Wholly confirmed, just a pain to handle in terms of nailing down where in the coc the charset is breaking down. Link to comment

IPB won't post if the member doesn't exist over there, or they cannot actually reply to the topic, may look at adding a fallback member setting. Even better, can you work in the option to specify one specific user for all new IPB topics? == Also, are the IPB topics full copies of the blog post, or just a summary with "Click here to read the full article"? I'd prefer the latter, by far, to drive my readers into the main site. Link to comment
Marcher Technologies Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Even better, can you work in the option to specify one specific user for all new IPB topics? Hrmmm.... the most base need would be the one user for all comments made where IPB says 'uh-uh boss'. Generally I would prefer to attribute the real author as often as possible, and as I have that data more often than NOT, and permissions are bypassed for new topics, the new topics I would think would handily use their post authors. ^Me Trolling, of course one may want a 'news' account or something to post them..... will do.... but it won't be as 'pretty' as your usual IPB member selector, the setting. Also, are the IPB topics full copies of the blog post, or just a summary with "Click here to read the full article"? I'd prefer the latter, by far, to drive my readers into the main site. " alt="2013-03-05_0112.png"> ensure you have an excerpt field selected... use it, will be honored. can look at giving options to auto-append link/auto-truncate content if no excerpt. edits will not post, drafts will not post. Future published posts will post at(or slightly after) the publish time. comments will only post once approved as well. posts and comments will also dynamically post with replies enabled, meaning if it has not been posted to IPB, and the above conditions are met, it *will* attempt to post them on view, on success will flag them as posted. No action is taken beyond that. Link to comment
Marcher Technologies Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Any progress on the character issue? Fixed, and now in download.1.0.6 is on your site now.... reconfig it and API user as needed. Note to self, add uninstall script wordpress apparently supports... need to kill one option group, user, post and comment meta, give choice of what to clear if possible, maybe a separate tools area..

Scott Dinsmore Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hey there Marcher! Unfortunately I'm having another problem, and I have no idea why. I must have done something to mess it up. Nearly all of my members are having trouble logging in. It's weird and irregular. Sometimes they'll be able to access wordpress and not the forum. Sometimes the forum and not wordpress. Some members login via WP and then they are taken to the front page, and some long and they're taken to a wp-admin screen where it says they don't have sufficient access. I've been resetting passwords all day, and that doesn't help always. Anyway, is it possible for you to look into this? I'll send you all my info via PM again. Sorry for being a pain.
