Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Deep Blue 76 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 just a question. In the fluid you see the images?
opentype Posted August 31, 2017 Author Posted August 31, 2017 It’s a block template. It only affects (Pages) forum blocks. If you want to place it on the forum index, you can put the block above or below the regular forum content or in the sidebar. Fierce God and Deep Blue 76 1 1
Unlucky Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Hi, Is there extra white space at the bottom of this one compared to the supergrid? IE - https://www.walkingfootball.com/ My walking football news it the topics and i have an pages database underneath
opentype Posted September 1, 2017 Author Posted September 1, 2017 Well, your theme is suppressing the light backgrounds, so it looks like a lot of whitespace. There is a slight difference regarding the spacing of the templates. Not sure if I change that. Maybe I won’t remove it from SuperTopics, but add it to SuperGrid as well.
Silnei L Andrade Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Hi @Opentype, I imported the template, but not show to choose, only the default appears. I uploaded the XML, but they do not appear in the template listing. What can it be? Edited September 2, 2017 by Silnei L Andrade
Silnei L Andrade Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) I was able to upload, it must have been some cache problem. The plugin is very good, but it only needs one thing to be perfect, which is to have a photo option to highlight the topic. Because it loads image by itself and if the image is large, or several topics have large images, the page is too heavy to load. This would be resolved with the featured image option in the topic. These featured images would serve both this plugin and the Open Graphic facebook tag. It would be perfect for those who need to spread the topics on social networks. The featured image would also solve the problem of topics without photos... and pagination for pages with many topics:https://www.mochileiros.com/mochilao/ Edited September 2, 2017 by Silnei L Andrade
opentype Posted September 2, 2017 Author Posted September 2, 2017 I understand the request, but it’s just a template. It won’t change the forum features itself. That’s something that needs to change at the core level.
Silnei L Andrade Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 I understand perfectly! The plugins are great and it really is the IPB that needs to think about it, after all it's not such a complex thing. Thank you for the answer.
Unlucky Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Hi, I have selected only 1 forum in the feed configuration but it is pulling in topics from other forums and displaying them in the block Is this a bug?
Unlucky Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Ignore my last request - everything is working fine
Silnei L Andrade Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Is it possible to create a tag-based page? crmarks 1
opentype Posted September 6, 2017 Author Posted September 6, 2017 No. The post/topic blocks from IPS don’t allow tags as filter at the moment. Silnei L Andrade 1
Drakior Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Is it possible to have an option to skip a post if no image is attached? (I realize this would result in getting fewer results than what you set up in your block feed plugin settings)
opentype Posted September 16, 2017 Author Posted September 16, 2017 Sure, it’s technically possible, but for the reason you mention it would be a rather messy implementation. The number of items would always go up and down and could even be zero. Not sure I want to add it this way unless there is really strong demand for it. I already added the fallback option in case users wouldn’t like empty cards. Meddysong 1
rookiegirl Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 re Topics Where do the background images come from in your example? If the member has to upload them, what does it look like if they don't have an image?

If the member has to upload them, what does it look like if they don't have an image? I comes from the first image attachment of the topic/post. If there is none, it stays blank (there is an example on the product page) or you set up a fallback image for all blank posts. rookiegirl 1
rookiegirl Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 I've followed your instructions and everything worked as directed however I am unable to see any changes on the front end. Is there a setting I have to do to turn it on?
opentype Posted September 29, 2017 Author Posted September 29, 2017 No setting. You probably have done something wrong. (Most typical problem I have seen with other clients: they picked the Forum post/topic widget from the sidebar, not the Pages Custom Blocks widget.)
rookiegirl Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Is that error done when assigning a block? I have Blocks > Plugins > supertopics
opentype Posted September 29, 2017 Author Posted September 29, 2017 No, when adding the widget to the page on the frontend through the sidebar manager.
rookiegirl Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Then perhaps I am missing the adding of a widget? Here is the instructions got with the download. installation-instructions.pdf
rookiegirl Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 I see that this is a widget then. How does a member add a background picture? Where are the settings for the number of topics in the widget. Thank you

It’s a design template for Pages blocks called on the page through the Pages Custom Blocks widget. 1 hour ago, rookiegirl said: How does a member add a background picture?

In the settings for the Pages block, as with any other Pages block. It’s an IPS core feature. rookiegirl 1
odevriese Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Hi @opentype, I just bought your plugin (SuperTopics) and Pages app, and followed the instructions in your PDF doc. But I think I missed something. How can I create a "cards view" of forum topics on my forum? I wanted to create something equivalent to what I can see here: http://fmt.invisionzone.com/. Does this forum use your plugin? Thanks Edited October 25, 2017 by odevriese
