There’s a problem preventing regular user from viewing the tutorial. I upgraded but wasn't there something I need to revert? (You already fixed my board) I can't find the PM with instructions.

Yes, go to Tutorials-> front -> view -> view and click in Revert button before or after the upgrade. 👍 Edited September 12, 2020 by Adriano Faria RocketStang 1
RocketStang Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Is there anyway to force the original author's username on the new tutorial when a random member tutorializes an existing post? I have it set to allow author changes but you know they wont change the username all the time! Edited September 23, 2020 by RocketStang
Adriano Faria Posted September 23, 2020 Author Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) No. Like any other app, the author is who submit the tutorial. You can create a required custom field and people will fill it with that information. EDIT: Ah, you mean the post author to be the tutorial author, instead of who’s adding it? I can add a setting in next version. Edited September 23, 2020 by Adriano Faria

RocketStang Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I just found a new problem...when I got to create a new tutorial, it is populating the content field with the text from the first post that I turned into a tutorial! It is doing the same in every category. Edited September 23, 2020 by RocketStang
Adriano Faria Posted September 23, 2020 Author Posted September 23, 2020 Clear cache. That happens sometimes even here on IPS When creating topics.
RocketStang Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 OK I'll try that and if it persists, I'll let you know! Thanks!
RocketStang Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 @Adriano Faria I enabled reviews for my categories but the stars don't seem to be clickable in the index view or tutorial view...is there another setting that I need to get them to work?

Sure, add a review. 🙂 It isn't clickable, it isn't a rating system like a topic. The stars are the average of the "stars" give per review, just like on Downloads.

Thanks again for a great app! Adriano Faria 1
RocketStang Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 I hate to be a pain, but something else weird just happened... I converted a post over that had hot linked images in it. The images were embedded in the post, but he new tutorial just linked them instead of embedding them. I'm not sure this is even an issue, maybe that is just how it has to be with conversions?

Probably enough just to edit and hit save without change anything in the post. It should embed the images.

I looked at the source code for he image link and it has a ipsnoembed=true in it... <a href="http://members.dodo.com.au/~jimniki/hidden_wiring/hw-1a.jpg" ipsnoembed="true" rel="external nofollow">http://members.dodo.com.au/~jimniki/hidden_wiring/hw-1a.jpg</a> I tried several times to edit and save but still just links...no embedded images.
Adriano Faria Posted September 24, 2020 Author Posted September 24, 2020 I have no idea, mate. I didn’t add this, IIRC. I’ll take a look when I have to upgrade the app. That is a cosmetic thing and it isn’t crashing your board, so it can wait. 👍

I still have a bunch of posts to convert but this is the only one so far that was odd.
Allegheny Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Hi Adriano, This is not a big deal, just a pesky cosmetic thing... but I thought I'd let you know. On the landing page for tutorials (v2.5.2) if you hover your mouse over the description of any tutorial (not the picture) you get a link balloon popup that repeats the words of the description including the html code. See attached. Adriano Faria 1

RocketStang Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) I ran into a minor issue today...I was trying to upload a .gif image to the tutorial cover image but it kicked me to a blank white page when I hit SAVE. I tried several times with the same result. The tutorial I was posting did post with the gif attached but the gif did not show. I ended up replacing the gif with a static png and it worked fine.

OptimusBain Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 Hello! Does the Tutorials module synchronize with the Pages module and permissions? I mean, I want to created a series of tutorials, like courses. Some of these tutorials/courses will require payment. Once the payment is done, the user group will change to USERGROUP x and the user will be able to read it because he paid, otherwise he won't be able to see it. Is this kind of functionality possible with Tutorials? I want to use it like a course module and create free and paid courses. Thanks a lot
OptimusBain Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Hello! I just purchased the Tutorials application. I was wondering if Is there a away to have the Tutorials as a forum discussion/category without using the redirect option? I would love to have an entry in one of my forums that directly link to the Tutorials and hide it from the default main navigation. The only way I could do it is by creating a redirect forum, which adds the annoying "# of visits to this link" text. Thanks a lot
IceCore Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 This application has a conflict with a keys that Downloads application use: top_submitters_empty__all top_submitters_empty__month top_submitters_empty__week top_submitters_empty__year I can't translate properly those strings since it overwritten then.
Adriano Faria Posted December 23, 2020 Author Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I'll fix when 4.5.5 is out, when I'll add new features announced by IPS. Edited December 23, 2020 by Adriano Faria IceCore 1
