Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
Joel R Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Another error when I tried to 'PM All' from ModeratorCP OutOfRangeException: (0) #0 /home/nginx/domains/adonismale.com/public/applications/cjdml/sources/Actions/Actions.php(131): IPS\Patterns\_ActiveRecord::load('83') #1 [internal function]: IPS\cjdml\extensions\core\ModCp\_duplicates->pm() #2 /home/nginx/domains/mycommunity.com/public/applications/core/modules/front/modcp/modcp.php(104): call_user_func(Array) #3 /home/nginx/domains/mycommunity.com/public/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(96): IPS\core\modules\front\modcp\_modcp->manage() #4 /home/nginx/domains/mycommunity.com/public/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(146): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute() #5 /home/nginx/domains/mycommunity.com/public/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #6 {main}
Joel R Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Update on the above? Or on the two suggestions I made on your website: https://codingjungle.com/files/file/31-cj-duplicate-member-logger/?tab=support
LiquidFractal Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 A (what I think is a) great suggestion for Keywords Tooltips: Could you please pretty please make a Colour-Coded Categories option for Keywords? For example, I use keywords right now to highlight rhetorical techniques and literary devices (anaphora, metaphor, analogy etc). But while I only want a certain group or groups to be able to see these, I'd also like a different category (for, say, philosophy terms or literary works or authors) which might be available to different groups, or to everyone. So instead of customising the one keyword CSS class (which I've done), the ability to specify custom CSS code for each category would take Keywords to the next level. Ohh, yeah. ?
CavySpirit Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I'm extremely confused about Menu Groups Manager. Where do you actually put what the menu is supposed to do??
SJ77 Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I thought you had a way to get rid of "VERSION" in downloads using downloads plus? Version is back. Did something change?

Where do you actually put what the menu is supposed to do?? can you be a bit more specific? if you are talking about a groups settings, go to the group, and you will see a button that says "manage group", click on this and choose "edit" to edit the various options for a group. you can then select where to position it, there are several predefined locations to place a group. 3 hours ago, SJ77 said: I thought you had a way to get rid of "VERSION" in downloads using downloads plus?

LiquidFractal Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Do you by any chance have a test site or demo of Menu Groups Manager so I can see it in action and get a sense of how menus can be organised? Some of the app description doesn't really make sense to me so I suspect that seeing it in action would help me a lot. Never mind - got to your website and MGM looks pretty sexy. ?

Where do you actually put what the menu is supposed to do?? This is a situation where an app becomes second nature to the developer and those very familiar with it but newbies don't have that background and experience. I just bought MGM as well and, having used IPB since 2007 and spent all morning on this, still can't get a good grip on how to use this application. There are a whole lot of assumptions that somebody walking in new will know what to do with this. What actually are "groups"? Pretty simple, basic concept. I'm still not sure I know. I think "menu" could be substituted pretty easily. Maybe it's a developer/coder thing. There's a choice of "bar or block" type of menu. What's the difference? Dunno. Where's the help file or tutorial video? Choose from "drawer, URL, applications, wrapper and magic block" types. OK, I get URL and applications, but have no clue what drawer, wrapper and magic blocks are. I went back and took a look at the original CJ Menu screenshots and gleaned some smarts from there, and made use of the preview function when fooling around with the MGM app -- although it appears as if the "group"/menu has to be live in order for the preview to work. That's kind of odd. I first chose a footer location to sort of "hide" the test menu/group, then realized I could set permissions so only admins can view it while under development. Finally, the statement, "MGM will attempt to remove the IPS default menu navigation, this isn't always a guarantee ..." kind of scares me. Does this mean the default navigation is gone, or just isn't visible but could be easily reversed? So, don't feel like a dummy if you didn't understand this immediately. I sure didn't and haven't yet. I found one of the testimonials for the original CJ Menu to be humorous. "This menu application is simply amazing. Up and running with zero configuration. In just a short amount of time, you can create powerful new menu structures..." Well, the original app might have been but this one sure isn't. The price has been reduced from $300 to $35, which is great, but I would have paid way more than $35 to have an in-place help file, FAQ or tutorial video. And in retrospect, I shouldn't have purchased it at all without a help feature. The time I've spent just today jerking around with MGM all but eliminated the difference in cost, right out of the gate.

Its used in the same sense as Member Groups. 10 hours ago, Peter L McCormick said: Choose from "drawer, URL, applications, wrapper and magic block" types. OK, I get URL and applications, but have no clue what drawer, wrapper and magic blocks are. I had made a bunch of videos for CJ Menu when i launched it, but after 3 1/2 years, they only had a half dozen views. I had made one MGM that was like 30 minutes long, that went over into more detail what everything was, but it was reported that audio was corrupted in parts of it, so i took it down. I just haven't had the time to remake the video and there hasn't been any demand for it. 10 hours ago, Peter L McCormick said: - although it appears as if the "group"/menu has to be live in order for the preview to work it is probably a bug, i'll test it out and release an update. 10 hours ago, Peter L McCormick said: Finally, the statement, "MGM will attempt to remove the IPS default menu navigation, this isn't always a guarantee ..." kind of scares me. Does this mean the default navigation is gone, or just isn't visible but could be easily reversed? it doesn't alter anything on a permanent basis. if you were turn on the setting, it would attempt to remove the HTML associated with the default menu manager found in IPS from the theme at compile time, if you turned it off/disabled MGM or removed MGM your default navigation would return without any issue. (this description actually exist cause of my experiences from CJ Menu and ProMenu for 3.x. a lot of third party themes will change the class names for the css so the hook doesn't work, or will remove the default HTML for the menu, to replace it with something that they created or pulled off something like code canyon. it is why MGM doesn't attempt to replace the default menu like CJ Menu and ProMenu before it had done). 10 hours ago, Peter L McCormick said: The price has been reduced from $300 to $35, which is great, but I would have paid way more than $35 to have an in-place help file, FAQ or tutorial video.

The time I've spent just today jerking around with MGM all but eliminated the difference in cost, right out of the gate. I will redo some of the tutorials videos this weekend for MGM. they can take a few hours to produce, so there isn't a whole lot of incentive to do them when they only get viewed a handful of times. but you are right, there are plenty of features and abilities of MGM (like CJ Menu) that need better explanation. My PM's are always open for questions and assistance if you have any questions or issues however. FYI, the $300 price tag for CJ Menu is cause not everyone who bought CJ Menu has been transferred to MGM (many wont till CJ Menu stops working or has issues with new versions of IPS, considering i had a client just a few weeks back, who began noticing some style issues, was still running like cj menu version 2. i'm gonna say it might be awhile before a lot of purchasers of CJ Menu notice there is a new, replacement for it). so since i can't disable new purchases, and people still have access to the download to see the description, i set the price to a high value so there aren't any accidental purchases of the app (as it isn't actually supported any longer). so like if you have any question or need assistance with anything in MGM you can let me know here or send me a PM. I'll set some time aside to begin working on a new tutorial video on some of the more advanced features.

I realize the time and hassle involved in making tutorial videos, and that you're probably mentally spent from getting the app to market. Perhaps a simple Help document with would suffice for the time being until a video can be produced. I do have some questions which I will either post here or PM you. For starters: I have a bar-type "group" set up and in preview, when a "drawer" item is open and the sub/child-items are hovered over, that underscored item area expands to the right about half the width of the item and then returns. That seems odd to me. Thanks.
InsideEdge Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 @Peter L McCormick I've used @CodingJungle menu managers for quite some time starting with promenu to cjmenu and now MGM, and I'm not an expert, but I managed to create a menu to fit my needs and desires. I'm sure there are more cool things I can do with it than what I've customized thus far. Check it out at hockeyforums.net if you wish.
Peter L McCormick Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Thanks @InsideEdge. I'm sure I can make something work; it's just the frustration of buying and opening a new app then having no clue how to use it that irks me a bit. I see your menu at hockeyforums.net also shifts to the right when hovering. I wish there were a switch to turn that on/off. I find it distracting. FWIW, I'm an old player and current big Bruins fan. Nice site.

Unlucky Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Any idea why some members would get this error? Sorry, there is a problem Something went wrong. Please try again. Error code: 2S119/1 It's not a group permission issue as other members from the same group have logged in
RLPVT Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) I just purchased the Media mod/app and I am getting a very strange error. I installed it without issue. Members can still see the board and the site works fine. When I have this enabled the people in the owners/admins group get hosed. Once I activate the application, then go back into the site I get all white screens and even in the admin CP when I click on edit settings for the Media mod I get a white screen. I cannot access my site at all when this is on. People NOT in Admin/Owners group can access the site with this turned on. Any thoughts? Edited August 17, 2018 by RLPVT
RLPVT Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Anyone have any thoughts? Has anyone else experienced this? Cannot really use this right now. Edited August 21, 2018 by RLPVT

RLPVT Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Thanks. I would like that fix soon. We publish a lot of podcasts on youtube and would like to share them in this mod.

It only happens on the main forum page, not on other pages. It's on IPB 4.3.4 having recently been upgraded from 3.3.4. My system logs are filled with this error whilst I install stuff and test out blocks and widgets. Is this a bug in the app or have I got something wrong somewhere?

I'm guessing that's because it's related to the system errors?
Millipede Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 MGM Sorry, I’ve got another possible problem... I’ve got Themes > Edit> Custom > “Javascript include location” set to “Just before /body tag”. However, despite this setting, GMetrix is giving me a poor F rating for “Defer parsing of JavaScript”. When I try to investigate why, I see in the source code that there’s this HTML immediately above the closing body tag and below all the javascript: <div class="cjmg_container"></div> Might there be a way to fix this please?

RLPVT Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Not to be a pain but I haven't been able to use this mod since I purchased it. Can I at least get an expected time frame for next release? I think almost two weeks since purchase is a fair amount of time
