Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
CodingJungle Posted May 7, 2018 Author Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) just like you do to upgrade it, just get the 2.2.0 zip, extra the tar from it and install it over 2.2.2 (there weren't any DB changes from 2.2.0 to 2.2.2) Edited May 7, 2018 by CodingJungle
SJ77 Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 done thank you. Now I will have to upgrade to 4.3 to get the new fixes in DLP 2.2.2 ... soon.
Adam_S Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Hi @CodingJungle, With my installation of "Media", when i view an uploaded audio file, its showing with an X in the middle and no play button. Any ideas what might be going on? Thanks

Any ideas what might be going on? Thanks it only supports the playback to a very small format and codec. usually mp4's are good, but sometimes they use oddball codecs that it doesn't support. give me a bit, i don't remember off the top of my head which codecs/formats it fully supports.

Aerosoft Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Will Download plus be able to import an existing collection of download files? We now have about 5000 and I would hate to have to re-insert them.

We now have about 5000 and I would hate to have to re-insert them. it actually doesn't import anything, it adds enhancements and features to downloads, so whatever features you wish to enable/disable in it, they will turn on or off, for new or existing downloads. so you will not have to re-insert anything ?
TeNate Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 I installed DLP 2.2.2 on my 4.3 board and I keep getting an error when I try going into the Modcp, any ideas?

Hi @CodingJungle, I thought i'd loop back around and see if you had integrated the mp3 codec into it yet? Thanks
LiquidFractal Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) I am considering purchasing Keywords Tooltips for my site but have a few questions/suggestions: If I want to use Keywords to define concepts or terms, would it be possible to set a truncate value in lines, chars. etc. for the hovercard? In other words, to have the hovercard for the concept/term display X amount of lines/chars. with a "Read More" button which would then (like the linked word itself) link to the full-page keyword definition? I have the full Rules app; can you tell me something about the trigger events for Keywords? The truncation function, if it exists or could be implemented, would go some way toward me committing to this app. Thanks! Edited June 5, 2018 by liquidfractal

LiquidFractal Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks @CodingJungle - the truncation would definitely be a great idea! I also think offhand that the ability to specify apps in which Keywords are not used may be useful. For example, I'm not sure I'd want keywords showing up in PMs, but would want them everywhere else. You get the idea. 3 hours ago, CodingJungle said: off the top of my head, it is triggered by the creation of KW and i think like x amount of times its hovercard is accessed (so it stats are enabled). i can double check to see what exactly i integrated in from that application (been a long while since i did it). If you could give me some more info. on this when you have the time it would be much appreciated. Just want to know as much as possible before committing.
LiquidFractal Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 I also wonder if it might be possible to include a "first occurrence only" function which only highlights the first occurrence of a word in an article or forums entry? While I see KW as really really useful, if you're discussing a concept or term there might be times when it's annoying to see the same word highlighted throughout an article. I'm just thinking out loud here, but what if there were a function similar to Mentioning someone with the at-sign where you could mark any individual occurrence of word X in a forums post or article or blog post as a KW (e.g., with "%" or something)? If you wanted to you could obviously revert to having every instance marked, but this would give the writer more control over how their material is presented. Just a thought .

I like the idea, but the problem is gonna be as you can have settings for who can see kw and what not, so they are built on the fly as the page loads, so the kw it is using is always up to date. i wont make any promises, but maybe i'll add in a "wiki" mode or something for it, to use it in that fashion.

So I'm getting that this might add overhead to page load time or something? At any rate, it's great that the "First Mention" thing is in the works. Thanks!
LiquidFractal Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Ok, I just purchased Keywords/Tooltips. I'm running it under IPS 4.3 and there appear to be a couple of outstanding issues: Changing the Tooltip default width seems to have no effect (if it's supposed to control the width of the pop-up hovercard, as "Hovercard Settings" suggests). I changed it to 1400, so it there was a change I'd have seen it. For the life of me I can't get the alphabetical keyword filter to appear at the top of the Keywords screen. I have the Disable Filters button turned OFF. Am I missing something? Apart from that, it would be good to mention in the instructions that "Keywords" is included in the Menu Manager and that one can just select it like other apps to include the link to the Keywords page in your menu. Other apps do this automatically, but if Keywords isn't going to do this it's helpful to tell people right off the bat so that they aren't wondering how to access the Keywords page (it took me about 60 sec to figure out, but others might ask questions so this could save some grief). Moreover, a bit of information about what happens if one chooses to de/select "skip adding nofollow noopener noreferrer on URL keywords" would helpful for people who may not know this offhand. Otherwise, enjoying the first impressions of this app and hoping my issues can be resolved. EDIT: the default width issue seems to have sorted itself out (maybe it was a cache issue). Moreover, the alphabetical keyword filter appears once you've entered keywords across more than one beginning letter (docs? ) Edited June 11, 2018 by liquidfractal
LiquidFractal Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) One more issue and a suggestion (running on 4.3): 1. A minor issue: the editing author name is missing from the keyword view/edit page: 2. Do you have plans for a more granular approach to keywords? For example, if one wants only hovercards for forums, but for longer articles the option for larger hovercards and/or links? I see this as a really, really promising app and if this were possible it would take it to a whole new level! 3. Might it be possible to include a way of clearing stats so that testing isn't incorporated into the statistics? Edited June 11, 2018 by liquidfractal
LiquidFractal Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Sorry, but once I get going I get going ? About URL Keywords: I think that instead of providing just a link to the external page definition it would be better to incorporate the entire definition (including URL) into a hovercard, because otherwise, except for the opportunity to include variants (aliases) it's really almost just like any other link, right? IMHO you should take advantage of the cool hovercard interface to include both the URL and any other short descriptive text the author wants to include. It would also alert the user that an alias links back to the core keyword term if they aren't clearly related to each other, since the link might not be self-evident to the user.

I have queue system everyone gets placed into, and i get to the issue when i get to it. if i had to take a guess, it would be later tonight for yours. i had filed a ticket (which is actually related to the activation problem that you are experiencing, as i use the nexus license activation with the IPS Request class). I'd be more than happy to compensate your account with credit for your next renewal for the lost time.

I see this as a really, really promising app and if this were possible it would take it to a whole new level! could you elaborate a bit more on this? Well, if I'm writing something relatively short for forums, then in some cases just a hovercard with information would suffice. But if I'm writing a longer article where I might want to include more information in the hovercards, I might want to alter the width of the hovercard for articles to better format the information. But maybe I'm just splitting hairs on this one. With this in mind, thinking out loud it seems to me that maybe having the ability to change hovercard width for different apps (e.g. somewhat larger size for articles vs. forums or blog posts) may be useful. And/or, the ability to offer a "short" definition (2-3 sentences max) and a longer definition the user can click through to? The short definition always shows up on the hovercard, but the user has the option to choose to read the longer one. Maybe some of these ideas are selfish though, as I'm an arts/humanities guy who is using these to define rhetorical terms and other abstract concepts. 43 minutes ago, CodingJungle said: there use to be a way to alter them, but the beta testers at the time complained about "cheating" lol, but i can add it back in on the next version, the people you give the power to just have to be more trustworthy i suppose than who my beta testers gave it to ? Well, for my part I'd like to tie the stats into Rules, where if certain keywords reach X amount of hits (aliases or otherwise) then I get an email notifying me of popular keywords. So ideally I'd like to reset them once they're in place and start from scratch. 1 hour ago, CodingJungle said: in the settings, for keywords behavior, select "both", it will function like this. if they hover over it, it will show the hover card, if they click on it, it will take them to the definition. I think I was talking about URL definitions here, where there's no hovercard - just a link to the URL or page with more information. 1 hour ago, CodingJungle said: yes it will only appear if there are x amount available, one of the original complaints was it was always there, and it had shortcuts that had no kw, so i altered it to only display if it had kw. it also gives the flexibility to other languages that use a different alphabet, so i don't have to figure out the a to zed of every written language of the world programatically, its handled for me by the generated content. very good point!
