    Joey_M reacted to Randy Calvert in How do you set up Redis to work?   
    It’s literally a PHP extension called php-redis.  

    https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis
    You might be able to install it through yum/apt, if not it can generally be installed through pecl. 

    https://developer.redis.com/develop/php/

    Just having the Redis application installed does not mean PHP can talk to it. It’s similar to how MySQL support needs to be added to PHP for it to work. 🙂

    When you add links using the Menu Manager, you can choose what menu(s) the link is shown in. Either the side panel, the horizontal bar, or the mobile panel.
    You basically answered this yourself haha 🙂 Simplicity. The "2 row" navigation bar was always a burden to restyle in version 4, and took up a fair amount of vertical space. Simplifying the navigation into a single row allows us to display the navigation bar in multiple ways, which you'll see more of next week.
    As always, the cover photos are optional. 👍

    Some questions and / or observations: 
    - the Sidebar Menu offers a lot of links.  The (regular) browse menu on mobile offers much less links.  I'm guessing you have an option per link on whether to show on mobile? 
    - Bottom mobile menu is nice.  This is a well established design theory by Luke Wrobleski from Google product design, but I actually thought many mobile apps were moving away from the bottom menu because it overlaps with some built in browser or phone options.  Thoughts? I don't think there's one right answer, just more interested in your perspective.  

    - traditional view of menu only offers single row.  I already do this on my primary community today (not because of any special study on design theory, but for simplicity!) but would be interested in your perspective in why you're imposing this approach.  The current Menu structure already encapsulates this and more. Why change it? 
    - performance improvements.  You removed JavaScript and a lot of CSS.  But then we also need splashy grid pictures of our latest trip to Australia and croc suit for the new Forum Feed / Big Grid view!

    There is no way in which to do this with the native platform. Nor has there ever been on version 4

    Unfortunately, I have since moved to a new video app. However, I still hold @Michael.J with high regard and I do hope he's not left IPS. I wish him well.
    Thank you, to @Adriano Faria for helping fix some of the issues I encountered, although unfortunately I wasn't able to edit videos. I would suggest any others who rely on the video system to take a look at https://www.invisioneer.org/ or https://www.sosinvision.com.br/index.php?/file/290-videos-directory/. 👍

    Joey_M reacted to Matt in v5 news coming soon...   
    To be clear, we have no plans to remove jQuery from 5.0.0. We expect to begin a fairly lengthy migration process over several releases where we'll start rewriting our UI and utility classes to use native.
    That said, I do not think it is critical to remove jQuery to improve page speed scores. We can probably get away with using jQuery slim, which is about 23kb of data sent once, and then your browser caches it. 23kb isn't insignificant but then a single image added to a page will negate any savings. Removing jQuery now would add further stress onto third party developers and delay v5 by 6-9 months given the huge amount of JS we are using for really little gain.
    Anything significantly new is using native.
    Here's the result of running Lighthouse for mobiles on my development install running with IN_DEV on (so no caching, no compiled or minified CSS, hundreds of script tags, etc). I would expect that to hit high 90s when not using IN_DEV mode.

    I like a lot of what I am seeing about v5.
    However, I have no immediate plans on upgrading and my other site, I pulled down to focus on my main project full time. Unfortunately, as a hobbyist I don't think IPS is geared towards smaller sites any more. It's by far the best out there, but there are so many costs involved if you want to make it a bit more serious than just a forum pretending to be a site.
    I've been with IPS since the very beginning, started my forum with IPB.
    One day, I hope to have the time and money to bring back the projected end, that has far more potential to be bigger but with how life is in the UK - among health, it's just too much.
    I'm very envious of those who can upgrade, in a good way.
    It does certainly look like a great set forward and @Ehren is a great asset here. Though, I do miss @Rikki (I hope I mentioned the right account). I didn't realise that Rikki might look a lot like Gynn Jacob to me. 👀

    Definitely. The CSS framework has been rebuilt, and light/dark mode is at the core - it's not an afterthought.

    Copy the highlighted value below into your cron job:

     

    You can also use a third-party web service like cron-job.org which is free.  You just type the value into the url field and choose a 1-minute schedule. Be sure to save the settings in the ACP prior to starting a cron job or use a web service.  Verify that the tasks are running every minute after setting up either type of service.

    If it's a VPS or dedicated server, In the /var/log directory there should be a cron log.  Its usually "cron" or "cron.log".  It will list each cron job's run time and possibly error output.
    If it's not, and you're running this from something like cPanel cron screen, I've found that sometimes you need to replace the entire php "path/php" with just "php".  If you get stuck, worst case let it run based on traffic.

    Go into your ACP, type 'tasks' into the search bar and click the relevant result.
    Check if the tasks are running by viewing the date information for their last/next run.

    @Miss_B: I'm willing to help develop this further. Maybe you could increase the price for new purchases to make it mutually beneficial.
    I only want to use the benefits of this if they are available for all customers, both existing and future ones. I don't want a version that is exclusive to me. If you're willing to discuss this, I will outline the suggestions below, and we can potentially take this further from there.
    Ability to edit sessions Option to make the session reoccur daily Ability to fine tune the time in which the member visits, so being able to set the time(s) per weekly days. Compatibility with who was online in the last 24 hours.  Hopefully this, in turn, would improve the application for all and generate a positive reaction. I get that you need to make a living, and that every dev is different. This is why I am hoping to work out a solution which works for you, me and that benefits the 33 other purchases. What do you think?

    Spotted that there are some x.com/ URLs now appearing for the normal tweet links - as a result, oembed will fail and they'll be links.
    'twitter.com' => array( 'https://publish.twitter.com/oembed', static::EMBED_TWEET ), 'mobile.twitter.com' => array( 'https://publish.twitter.com/oembed', static::EMBED_TWEET ), Tested and adding x.com equivalents of the above to oembedServices in \IPS\Text\Parser will sort it out.

    Commerce is in need of some dire improvements considering it is a life-support system for many communities.
    Recurring recommendations have been made for years but left unheard. While we understand that Commerce and especially payment method integration requires a lot of development, I think we can all agree on its necessity and the importance of a good customer experience.
