I'm getting a display error on my forum - it's showing on three different threes (one of them is the default theme). Any advice?

Also, FWIW, I've made sure all themes etc. are up to date, but I'm still getting stuck with the notice.

Post the log entry for this error.

What's New in Version 1.1.3:

• Fix error reported.

@Adriano Faria

Hello, I just bought the application today.

 

I set everything up in the settings, the application is obviously turned on and it does not show up in "Block management" to add it to the home page.

 

Do you know anyone what could be the reason?

Problem solved!

Edited November 30, 20204 yr by devv

I know. This is not a widget so it won’t show up in Block Manager. Choose the groups and it will show up in the index.

 

Couldn't reproduce in my onlline board. I'll install it today later on a fresh install to see how it goes. I'll reply back.

Did you ever get anywhere on this? 

No, works fine to me and it seems for others too. A version was released in novemeber, 12. Are you using latest version?

Please assist: I can't figure out how to even use the application. It is installed and enabled, but I don't see how to make it work on my forum. Is there a manual or a video I can follow?

 

It seems ok to me:

I never said I would. You said you had added a link to it. Do it again. I have no interest in add this link.

I found that THIS reinstall worked for me. Now I can see the app. However, only I can see it. My users can't. When I try to allow all users to see it, then they can't see it.

Actually, I figured it out. I reinstalled it.

There’s notes different here: install it and chose which groups can see it. That’s all.

What's New in Version 1.1.4

• Compatibility version with Tabbed Forums Index.

I noticed a much longer load time when using the "Recent Topics" app/plugin.  Is there a way I can optimize it?  When I use the IPS Topics Feed, it does not have the same effect. 

 

Edited June 24, 20213 yr by GoGators

Topics Feed is a widget and it is cached. It doesn’t query the DB at every page load as mine does.

Recent Topics isn’t a widget and it loads the latest 5 topics (with replies) you have permission to view. I know a board with more than 1,000,000 posts that runs it just fine.

Can you share your URL? Message if you don’t want to share it publicity.

I'm having the same problem, on the forum home where the widget appears, it's taking a long time to load

Send a message with ACP access. I’ll debug the app in your install later.

Yes, well I disabled the plugin because of this.  I am presently using the default Topic Feed Block as a replacement.

I temporarily enabled it so you can see.  Click on any of the other apps and you can see they load quickly.  This app does not.

Mobile device now. Can’t do much. Send a message with ACP access so I can debug it. 👍

I honestly don't see any slowness there:

- As a guest:

- Logged as a user:

Is it slow the way you said?

Tested on latest Firefox, Chrome and Edge.

You have to remember that this isn't a widget, so it isn't cached. It queries the DB at every page load.

Is it slow the way you said?

Since I changed to PHP 8, it seems be loading faster now.  It's only a few ms' slower and within acceptable performance, but that's because it's calling the DB as you stated.  For future speed tests, you might try one of these sites.

Also, would you please remove the YouTube videos of my website.

Thanks in advance.  🙂

Can the block position be on the right?

 

Can the block position be on the right?

No:

 

Block position: Before of After forums categories

This is not a widget. It's a "hardcoded" block.

No crystal ball here. Update to what?

Also, post the content of the log error. A generic message like that tells me nothing about the issue.
