Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
November 18, 20204 yr This application creates a page that is available to anyone by default with statistics involving ad impressions. Why is this a thing? I don't see it documented anywhere. For those of you with it installed, check your FURL configuration. Disabling application access via permissions is a workaround, yet why is this here? i honestly don't care but i have to say i agree with you, this is both useless and unexpected. Plus to disable it you have to take the app offline (i have to say i thought it would mask all my ads...).
November 18, 20204 yr Author Hello, I'm sorry about that. Why is this a thing? I don't see it documented anywhere.

November 18, 20204 yr Thanks for the insight, newbie LAC. I don't understand what it is, or why it exists. It has untranslated strings, and it is turned on without granting it access, potentially exposing privileged information about advertising campaigns and impressions without any advance indication it would do so. I'd encourage you to reconsider turning on something like this only as an explicit opt-in.
December 7, 20204 yr Hey there @newbie LAC I'm having a little issue. When I add anything to either Mobile or Tablet, it won't save. Instead, it takes me to a 404 page. Any idea why this could be happening? Video: https://streamable.com/cnj2k9 Here are some template errors I have in my logs. Not sure if it's significant. Error: Call to undefined method IPS\forums\Forum::canChangeThumb() in /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/Theme.php(860) : eval()'d code:61 Stack trace: #0 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/SandboxedTemplate.php(61): IPS\Theme\class_tthumb_front_widgets->tthumbWidget(Array, '45d3cc77f5fa63b...', Array, 'horizontal') #1 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/applications/tthumb/widgets/tthumbWidget.php(122): IPS\Theme\_SandboxedTemplate->__call('tthumbWidget', Array) #2 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Content/Widget.php(521): IPS\tthumb\widgets\_tthumbWidget->output(Array, '45d3cc77f5fa63b...') #3 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Widget/Widget.php(826): IPS\Content\_Widget->render() #4 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Widget/Widget.php(889): IPS\_Widget->_render() #5 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/Theme.php(860) : eval()'d code(18257): IPS\_Widget->__toString() #6 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/SandboxedTemplate.php(61): IPS\Theme\class_core_front_global->widgetContainer('footer', 'horizontal') #7 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/Theme.php(860) : eval()'d code(6648): IPS\Theme\_SandboxedTemplate->__call('widgetContainer', Array) #8 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/SandboxedTemplate.php(61): IPS\Theme\class_core_front_global->globalTemplate('BreatheHeavy.co...', '\n<div id="elCms...', Array) #9 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(172): IPS\Theme\_SandboxedTemplate->__call('globalTemplate', Array) #10 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Dispatcher/Standard.php(113): IPS\_Dispatcher->finish() #11 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Dispatcher/Front.php(640): IPS\Dispatcher\_Standard->finish() #12 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(154): IPS\Dispatcher\_Front->finish() #13 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #14 {main} #0 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/SandboxedTemplate.php(71): IPS\_Log::log(Object(Error), 'template_error') #1 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/applications/tthumb/widgets/tthumbWidget.php(122): IPS\Theme\_SandboxedTemplate->__call('tthumbWidget', Array) #2 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Content/Widget.php(521): IPS\tthumb\widgets\_tthumbWidget->output(Array, '45d3cc77f5fa63b...') #3 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Widget/Widget.php(826): IPS\Content\_Widget->render() #4 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Widget/Widget.php(889): IPS\_Widget->_render() #5 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/Theme.php(860) : eval()'d code(18257): IPS\_Widget->__toString() #6 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/SandboxedTemplate.php(61): IPS\Theme\class_core_front_global->widgetContainer('footer', 'horizontal') #7 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/Theme.php(860) : eval()'d code(6648): IPS\Theme\_SandboxedTemplate->__call('widgetContainer', Array) #8 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Theme/SandboxedTemplate.php(61): IPS\Theme\class_core_front_global->globalTemplate('BreatheHeavy.co...', '\n<div id="elCms...', Array) #9 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(172): IPS\Theme\_SandboxedTemplate->__call('globalTemplate', Array) #10 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Dispatcher/Standard.php(113): IPS\_Dispatcher->finish() #11 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Dispatcher/Front.php(640): IPS\Dispatcher\_Standard->finish() #12 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(154): IPS\Dispatcher\_Front->finish() #13 /home/breatheh/public_html/exhale/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #14 {main} Any help would be greatly appreciated.

December 7, 20204 yr Author Hey there @newbie LAC I'm having a little issue. When I add anything to either Mobile or Tablet, it won't save. Instead, it takes me to a 404 page. Any idea why this could be happening? Hello, I can not reproduce. 1. What url does the 404 page have? 2. Have you tried use simple text instead of html?
December 7, 20204 yr Hello, I can not reproduce. 1. What url does the 404 page have? 2. Have you tried use simple text instead of html? Yes it takes me to this page that results as a 404: https://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/admin/?app=core&module=promotion&controller=advertisements&do=form&id=75 And also if I insert just a letter, like "x" it will save. But if I try adding HTML it "breaks."
December 7, 20204 yr @newbie LAC Just found out what the issue it was. It was related to modsecurity. My server manager disabled it and it fixed the issue =] Sorry about that!
December 18, 20204 yr Is it possible to set individual threads not to display ads, display from different network? Adsense is very strict about user generated content and it would be helpful to disable adsense on topics that violate their TOS. Thank you.
December 19, 20204 yr Author Is it possible to set individual threads not to display ads, display from different network? Adsense is very strict about user generated content and it would be helpful to disable adsense on topics that violate their TOS. Thank you. Hello, You can use conditions
December 20, 20204 yr Author Can the condition be a variable from the meta field of topics table? You can load the topic object and use the field if it available,
December 20, 20204 yr You can load the topic object and use the field if it available, Can you please tell me what that if statement would look like? I am not sure as it is my understanding that the meta field from the topics table can contain multiple values. Is the value stored in the meta field of the topic table an array or a variable? And if array how would the if statement in the app access it? Sorry I am new this all and want to make sure the app can do what I look for before I buy it. Thank you.
December 21, 20204 yr Author Can you please tell me what that if statement would look like? I am not sure as it is my understanding that the meta field from the topics table can contain multiple values. Is the value stored in the meta field of the topic table an array or a variable? And if array how would the if statement in the app access it? Which field do you mean? The topic meta data (topic messages, featured comments) is stored in the core_content_meta table
December 21, 20204 yr Author I mean the topic_meta_data field of forums_topics table That column contains 0 (topic hasn't meta data) or 1 (topic has meta data)
December 22, 20204 yr That column contains 0 (topic hasn't meta data) or 1 (topic has meta data) wonderful. Will I be able to read the value of the topic_meta_data? what the statement will look like? I can setup my robot to flag topics where ads need to appear by setting topic_meta_data=2 If you app can read that value then I am all set and ready to purchase and implement.
December 23, 20204 yr Author Will I be able to read the value of the topic_meta_data? Yes what the statement will look like? Show the advert if the topic_meta_data value is 1 {{if request.app == 'forums' and request.module == 'forums' and request.controller == 'topic'}} {{$topic = \IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_item_item'];}} {{if $topic and $topic->topic_meta_data == 1}} 1 {{endif}} {{endif}}
December 23, 20204 yr Yes Show the advert if the topic_meta_data value is 1 {{if request.app == 'forums' and request.module == 'forums' and request.controller == 'topic'}} {{$topic = \IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_item_item'];}} {{if $topic and $topic->topic_meta_data == 1}} 1 {{endif}} {{endif}} Thank you very much for explaining and answering. Will be purchasing today.
December 24, 20204 yr please ignore this. all worked out. Edited December 24, 20204 yr by Arman Galstyan
January 1, 20214 yr Hi Im trying to add a new html ad for a particulary subforum (id 11) for all topics included here and i have this extra condition : {{if request.app == 'forums' and request.module == 'forums' and request.controller == 'forums' and in_array(request.id, array(11))}}1{{endif}} with custom css : .cPost:nth-child(9n) with Insert ad after chosen element but the advert does not shows up. Whats wrong with my extras condition ?? Edited January 1, 20214 yr by mark2012
January 1, 20214 yr I also tried with this extra condition: {{if isset(\IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_node_class']) and \IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_node_class'] instanceof \IPS\forums\Forum and \IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_node_id'] == 11}} 1 {{endif}} and still the ad does not shows up
January 2, 20214 yr Author Hello, Im trying to add a new html ad for a particulary subforum (id 11) for all topics included here and i have this extra conditio {{if request.app == 'forums' and request.module == 'forums' and request.controller == 'topic' and isset(\IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_node_class']) and \IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_node_class'] == 'IPS\forums\Forum' and \IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_node_id'] == 11}}1{{endif}}
January 14, 20214 yr @newbie LAC Hi there! Wondering... would it be possible in a future update to add a placement spot? I'd be interested to see if we could populate an ad at the very very top of the page (before the login/navigation section). That is the most-visible spot for an ad and tends to perform better. I know it doesn't provide a better UX, but I'd still be curious to see how it could function and perhaps generate more revenue. Example 🙂
February 3, 20214 yr Hello, {{if request.app == 'forums' and request.module == 'forums' and request.controller == 'topic' and isset(\IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_node_class']) and \IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_node_class'] == 'IPS\forums\Forum' and \IPS\Output::i()->hiddenElements['nbenhadverts_node_id'] == 11}}1{{endif}} newbie what Custom CSS and position should i have in orderd to display an html advert after 15 th post in all pages from a topic This one: .cPost:nth-child(15n) is not working all fixed Edited February 7, 20214 yr by mark2012
