HighlanderICT Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 +1 ... the ability for users to submit articles and for one of our mods (editors) to promote it to an article is a cornerstone of our community ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanja Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 This is something we need too... I still haven't had a chance to test and see if it is there in Beta 8... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighlanderICT Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 we are on RC now and still no sign of this or an answer ...... will this be reinstated ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-FP Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 This feature is provided by a hook in 3.x, by IPS but still a hook, I hope they don't leave this apart... and it may sound a bit silly, but I'm not upgrading my live site without this feature.#PromoteToArticleNow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaeitee Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 @Charles @Matt @bfarber any plans of this returning in a future RC, perhaps 4.1 etc or is this completely open to a 3rd party developer now? Personally I would of thought this one of the more important features that IP.Pages would have on its roadmap going forward at some point?With user-generated content communities the ease of being able to move information from a Forum to an Article would certainly be a plus.

ABGenc Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I am too looking forward to it but I would rather like to have the option as "Promote to X Record" ( X name of the database ) rather than "Promote to Article" so that the post can be converted to a record of any database within the pages.

jhutch Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Yep. This is absolutely necessary. Seems as though they aren't prioritizing Pages the way they need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlanderICT Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 37 days since this thread was started without a sniff of any official comment or response on what seems to be a fairly simple question. Poor show IPS. Can we please have an answer? even a one word answer !!! It seems to be important to many of us and ignoring the polite requests for this info is, quite frankly, both rude and ignorant. If its not coming back then just say so ... if it is but there are challenges then perhaps give us a clue rather than leaving us hanging. I have stuck with content/pages from the moment it was released a few years back despite the ongoing lack of documentation or the lack of user friendliness for my less tech savvy editors almost entirely because I could get some of them to use the promote button and then do some basic editing to fix the issues the purifier caused during conversion .... its not perfect, but it is workable. if that feature is now gone then please just say so so we can move on and use something like Wordpress for our article area which is far more intuitive for those technophobe content editors .....

CheersnGears Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It seems as if the Promote to Article feature is no longer available.Just getting this into the new format for reporting missing features as requested by Charles.I found the 3.4.x one to be a bit trouble prone, so hopefully it is improved when it is returned to IPS 4.0.

Yes this is something we will look into. I was just trying to get the topic title into a consistent format. It's not theatrics. Could you add the prefix to this topic so it is easier to find a report like this in future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel R Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I think eventually they're going to need to look at comprehensive integration between apps for a big update, and this is one key feature that should be brought back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Hopefully this time we can select which database it is promoted to. Have many different dbs with different subject matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opentype Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I am curious: How are you guys using this feature? Can you describe it in more detail or show it on your existing sites?In HighlanderICT’s posts for example, it sounds like he uses this feature as a way for users to submit articles. But that isn’t really the point of this functionality and one could of course also let members submit directly to a Pages database and then let the admins decide which article will be published or featured or whatever.

tekguru Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 We prefer the use of posts as that gives us one system to maintain as we are forum based. So we posted the 'news' in any relevant forum and then promoted that post to an article for visibility on our sires portal which was made using articles.We can live with posting articles but do not like it being forced to be tied to one specific forum, and that the associated forum post does not contain all the data from the article (i.e. no image).
