Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
imightbluff Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I upgraded to Ipb4.x today and purchased the new version on prefixes. I uninstalled all the out of date extensions after the upgrade. I tried to install the .tar file and this message appears. Can you help me out with how do I get rid of the old files? I thought clicking uninstall would do the trick.

imightbluff Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Allright I will, hope I won't need to reinstall everything again >.> haha Edited September 17, 2015 by imightbluff
Charlie Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 This is still a support issue for the app. Have you been able to replicate the problem?

Yes and it keeps showing the same error each time, I am going to reinstall the IPB3.x backup, uninstall the mod completely of the 3.x version, install IPB4.x and try install it again. If that doesn't work, than I have no idea on what is going on lol Edited September 18, 2015 by imightbluff

If that doesn't work, than I have no idea on what is going on lol I'm told the problem is you're trying to install a new app, instead of upgrade the existing 3.x one. Below the installed apps should be a section, 'out of date apps', and each one has an upgrade button. Use that. If you uninstall it, you're probably going to lose all of the data. 10 hours ago, Charlie said: This is still a support issue for the app. Have you been able to replicate the problem? This is standard functionality of the core IPS app installer and setup process, nothing to do with anything I've created. It would be the same for every other application upgraded from 3.x. How is that an app support issue? Support your customers. They're paying for it. Edited September 18, 2015 by Ryan H.

Below the installed apps should be a section, 'out of date apps', and each one has an upgrade button. Use that. If you uninstall it, you're probably going to lose all of the data. When I upgraded to IPB4.x I had all the mods and applications still installed. Than when I went to the applications section, it showed all that were out of date and it just asked me if i wanted to remove them so I removed all of the applications. I didn't really have that many custom tags so I don't mind resetting them up. When I tried to upload the version 4.x of the advanced tags. That is when I was getting the error. Right now I just backed up the 3.x version of IPB and uninstalled all the mods, and applications. The only thing left is the native ones. Going to upgrade to IPB4.x tonight and will try installing the advanced tags again. I will post if it works this time, this is the only thing that I could think of to solve the issue. If it was caused by the fact that I had the old apps still active. It is most likely because I messed up something during the installation the 1st time that caused the issue, so getting the hosting provider to do the upgrade for me this time. Although not sure how I could have messed it up, it's pretty straight forward process. Well anyway hope it works haha Edited September 18, 2015 by imightbluff

It appears that if you don't uninstall advanced prefixed before the upgrade, it will cause the error if you uninstall it as IPB4.x. I just installed it on ipb4.x after doing a clean wipe in ipb3 and it works fine without any errors Edited September 19, 2015 by imightbluff GrooveOnBeat 1
imightbluff Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) There is no functionality to select what forums for the tags to be used in? I recall in IPB3.x version you were able to just select all the forums easily. Edited September 21, 2015 by imightbluff

imightbluff Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Yea but this way is really annoying lol I have to go through bunch of forums and manually set 1 prefix across like 5 forums lol and I have like 30+ prefixes of 3rd party sites we promote lol I liked the old way was just so easy to select everything

What say you, @Ryan H.? AlexJ 1
imightbluff Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 @GrooveOnBeat do you know how to enable this functionality on IPB4? This is pretty cool. I know this is offtopic lol

I know this is offtopic lol It should already be enabled, but I find that I have to type the "@" and name slowly to generate the list. Hopefully the new CK Editor in IPB 4.1 will be faster.

I recall in IPB3.x version you were able to just select all the forums easily. I didn't include that because it's very specific to forums, and I'm trying to avoid that kind of thing in this version. Ultimately, I plan to extend those same forum settings to all content types, in which case setting where it's available from the prefix isn't very feasible anymore. Nice prefix setup. I like that.

Yurri Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Create screen with prefs for ip pages, please, or send me try app?

There is no screen of preferences for IP.Pages. As I said, to my knowledge IP.Pages doesn't support tags and prefixes at all out of box. This app does not add them. I don't offer a trial or refund period. What you see on the details page is what you get.
Ryan H. Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) I just pushed up a new version. This is the culmination of everything I've wanted to do for the past, oh, years. Settings should now work for all tag-enabled apps, not just forums, and there's a new Tag Cloud widget. The generic node support should work out-of-box, but I only had two applications to actually test it with. It's fine for Forums and Calendar. I can't guarantee compatibility with all possible third-party applications, but let me know if you run into problems. What's New in Version 3.1.0 Added ability to use custom tag/prefix settings with all tag-enabled content types. Added a highly configurable Tag Cloud widget. Added min/max tags settings overrides. Changed prefix behavior to store separate from predefined tags. The closed tags list does not have to include prefixes anymore. Fixed a possible error on search results.

Angus90 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks for the new update. I really like the Tag Cloud widget. But there is a little issue with very long tags that are distichous.
