It's available per request for Cloud customers

As a Cloud customer, I'm happy to wait for the final release. I also like to spin up a 5 day demo to get familiar with the changes in an environment closely resembling our live site. Will the demo site be upgraded prior to final release? I assume not as it is for attracting potential clients who may not like testing a beta.

[Giray]

I have a question for the marketplace devs to give us a better idea of upgrade timings.

Devs, how much work are we talking about, per app, for you to go from 4.5 to 4.6 compatibility? Are we talking a couple of hours per app or days per app?

Thx.

Gave it a spin last night when I saw it go live in the client area. 

Got it set up on my Mac… Here comes hours of work on setting up achievements after work tonight. Yay. 😂

Circle back and let us know what that experience was like! I'm excited to do that, too.

Great to see you keep pumping out more and more substantial upgrades and features at a regular pace.

🥲 The team smashed this one out of the park!!

I am testing the version and I am not sure what type of feature I should pay more attention to in my tests.
Aiming that the update notes got huge.

I can say that the little that I tested I feel that it will not be a beta version for a long time.

And this is very good 🙂

I would stick with it. We don't expect a long beta testing phase so you won't be without a marketplace for too long.

I wish there was a config flag to allow installing older version apps that are not specifically marked as compatible with suitable warnings.

First bit of feed back on achievements. While I see an option to manually add a badge, it has to be done via AdminCP? Wouldn't it make sense and save time to be able to manually add a badge while on the front end via the members profile? Seems very long winded to have to sign in to ACP, find the member, go to profile, press badges and then add badge.

Also, there is no badge box on a user profile when first setup under 'Your Achievements'.

However, once a badge is added the box appears. But, I believe that a box should already exist, that you can press to go into (like the rep box) and there we could have a button to add badges.

And to add.

I think a few sites will have a lot of badges (I believe I will) so, instead of having to scroll forever to find the badge. Could it be fed back that we could setup categories and add badges under each one (ACP)?

And how do you think about for a mass update ? So i can allocate one badge to x members in one Step ?

You can give a member a badge on the front end for their content via the three dot menu at the top right of each post.

I don't see that option?

You can’t award yourself. We don’t allow self back patting around here.

I believe you should be able to do this with the rebuild feature if using a specific rule.

The real question here is do I do it now or wait till 4.30pm on Friday to royally break everything.

Please make it 8PM on a Friday (EST) and be sure to run the upgrader on mobile with 2% battery life left. Thanks and tell the boys in support Lindy sent you!

Don't wake me up until 4.6 is stable and all the marketplace apps are updated.

It won't work like this, if I hand out the badge personally without a rule.

This is why you make a second account so you can switch and award yourself.

...it also helps when you feel the urge to have a nasty argument and no one else is awake...

Sorry if this has been asked before, but are Achievements badges customizable?

If you mean "Can I upload my own image?" then yes:

Yes 🙂

Here is my custom version 🙂

@Nathan Explosion @Jimi Wikman 

Exactly what I meant, thank you very much 🙂

Running IPS 4.6 on my upcoming site (it's going to be a while before it launches) and so far everything is working the way I expected it.  Not using a custom theme on this site, but I am customising the default theme and it's working out great.  Sample from the forums below:

A few of @opentype plugins seem to be working OK in theme as is @onlyME Friends app - the support section is showing them as Important Issues, but they work:

That's 2 plugins, 1 app and the default theme which I've customised.

All I can say is, fantastic work guys - love the new Achievements and I'll be tinkering with those too.  I'll have to hold off updating my Movie Buffs site until all the apps and plugins I use are updated, but that's no big issue.  So far, loving it.

@Adriano Faria Hi Adriano, thanks for that update in the bug tracker 🙂

 

[boro_boy]

Where has the information gone when you hover over a username, where is used to tell you where the members is currently on the site:

Where it tells your what the member is doing on the forum, it doesn't seem to be on the 4.6 BETA

 

Thanks in advance 👍
