What's New in Version 2.1.0:

Fixes:

  •     Ordering tutorials by title on category view
  •     Duplicated language strings, which was not allowing strings to be translated

New Features:

  •     Now shows on index/categories the latest tutorial information from tutorials submitted to subcategories
  •     Now shows the subcategories when you're browsing a category; before showed an empty category
  •     Added information to unapproved tutorials on tutorial view, with direct links to approve or delete tutorial
  •     Added a new widget: Tutorials Feed. This widget can be re-used on same page, which means that you can add several blocks to display different informtion. Latest Tutorials widget removed.
  •     Rework in some templates, like the star rating on tutorial view.

Yet to come:

  • Multi paged tutorial. This will be implement when 4.2 is released.

After updating to 2.1.0 I went into support and went into Something isn't working to fix something else and I'm getting the below and IPB doesn't fix it.

There are some problems with your database. Normally it is safe to try to fix these problems automatically however if your community is large, you may want to run the necessary queries manually. If so, the queries to run are:


ALTER TABLE `ibf_tutorials_articles` CHANGE COLUMN `a_desc` `a_desc` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NULL COMMENT '', CHANGE COLUMN `a_content` `a_content` LONGTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NULL COMMENT '';

ALTER TABLE `ibf_tutorials_cats` CHANGE COLUMN `c_icon` `c_icon` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NULL COMMENT '';

ALTER TABLE `ibf_tutorials_cfields` CHANGE COLUMN `cf_input_format` `cf_input_format` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NULL COMMENT '', CHANGE COLUMN `cf_content` `cf_content` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NULL COMMENT '';

UPDATE `ibf_tutorials_comments` SET `comment_id`=0 WHERE `comment_id` IS NULL;

ALTER TABLE `ibf_tutorials_comments` CHANGE COLUMN `comment_id` `comment_id` INT (10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT COMMENT '';

 

The above could have happed prior to updating to 2.1.0 as it has been months since I've used the support option to check things. I've tried it several times and it's not getting repaired.

For those who still doesn't know, IPS implemented (sometime, I missed this) the multi page.

It's enough you create a tutorial using [ page ], without spaces. See:

This will become:

I'll try to add a button in toolbar via app.

Cool! How about backwards compatibility with the 3.4 version? Do we have to edit all of them removing the [pagebreak] tags to change them to page?

Also, what about the page title and table of contents?

Not sure if makes sense to keep the page title. Does it?

Anyway, I will release a new version to update Tuturials table to make it compatible with IPS4. I mean, basically change pagebreak  to page.

It seems you should avoid using that tag in the editor in forum post, lol. 

The new button will appear only on Tutorials editor. ^_^

PS: not sure if it's possible. Haven't tried yet.

I meant my post here. I put page in [] and see how it is rendered in my post ^_^

Anyway, table of contents is nice with the pagetitles, but I wouldn't say dropping will be a huge problem. At least for me.

Hmm... I have Sharing turned on for all of tutorials but I do not see any share buttons. Sharing works fine in Forums and other apps (i.e. Links Directory).

Sharing buttons will only appear if guests can view tge category/forum. That's how it works on IPS4.

Thanks apparently in this case it is "Read" not "View".

Not a big bug but...

When you try and use "Copy Setting Value" under Tags in Category - Submissions -- Allow tags (or Allow prefixes) it does not copy the setting.
All the other Submissions "Copy Setting Values" appear to work fine.

Can you reproduce this in another app? As this is a Core feature, might be a core bug.

Yes, it seems to work fine in Downloads - Categories.

Hi Adriano, I just noticed you updated the app on Aug 24. I assume this change is still not available, because in the descirption it is said it comes with 4.2 Is that correct?

If I update now I lose the multi page tutorials, but if I update again with 4.2, will they come back? Thanks.

It was just editing the description; the file is the same. Multi page already works by default in core. The issue is to add buttons in the editor. I already asked this to IPS on dev forums but no one bother to reply.
