    Can it be set for a specific genre or category? i.e.; Christmas movies?

    Michael R reacted to Davyc in Pages - Update   
    I've spoken briefly in other topics on how lamentable the Pages app is for those who do not possess the skills to create their own templates and layouts. The Pages app is heralded as one of the most powerful applications in the suite, and it may be for those who can harness the power it yields.  For everyone else it is a minefield to navigate and a lot of people either just give up on it or resort to plugins from the marketplace, which are generally pretty good at what they offer but they are limited by the functions which developer has designed the plugin to do.
    One of the most powerful page layout generators I have come across is a WordPress plugin called the Divi Builder (made by www.elgantthemes.com) - it is one hell of a powerful tool that allows you to develop complex pages using adaptable rows and columns.  An example of some of the basic layouts offered (which can be applied on a row by row basis) is shown below:

    At present, Pages is constrained to 1,2 or 3 column layouts which cannot be applied on a row by row basis.  For example you CAN mix some columns in Pages but you are stuck with X number of columns on top/bottom with a single column that sits above or below; you can't have single column, two/three column another single column and another two/three column layout, etc.
    The other pain with Pages is that the column widths are non-negotiable; two columns will span the width of the container equally - you can't have one column take up 60% of the real estate with the other column taking up the other 40%, that is incredibly restrictive.
    I'm not advocating that Pages mimic the Divi Builder in all of the features it brings - it's module based and there are loads of different modules that can be dragged into the layout - but Pages can make a start by giving more power to layouts.  That would be a massive improvement on what sits there now.
    The other noticeable missing aspect is the ability to add pages to a page layout.  Very long articles would be better if they were broken into pages much like a book.  Single column layouts could have an added feature of making a page columned where the text will flow naturally from one column to another, much as it does in Microsoft Word, for those reading on wider screens.
    Stacking order for columns on smaller screens would be another feature bonus where you can choose to stack the most important blocks near the top with the least important below.
    This is just the tip of the iceberg as to what Pages can become as truly outstanding CMS application within the IPS Suite.  How much work would lie behind such an undertaking I have no idea, but it would be worthwhile and it would be a huge boon to those who want to harness the power of the Pages application and create some beautiful page layouts that capture the imagination.
    Thoughts? More suggestions also welcome as this is something that can be of benefit to everyone.  Thanks for reading.

    Michael R reacted to WP V0RT3X in What do you use as a homepage?   
    https://invisionfocus.de
    The articles are written in Pages. When posting an article a forum thread is created automatically (for SEO that forum isn't visible for guests).
    Comments in the thread and on the article itself are synced. So it doesn't matter where the user reads or answers, everything's always up to date.

    Michael R reacted to Jordan Miller in Hump Day: Improved appearance of the Notification Settings   
    Happy Hump Day, fam! 
    Been receiving a lot of messages about 4.6 and Achievements. We're near the finish line (I know that's annoying to hear but we're close!).
    Why the wait? We absorbed a ton of useful feedback from you and are implementing it 👏 Achievements is turning out even more epic than what we launched here a few weeks ago 😭. It'll be worth the wait (again, annoying I know, but sit tight).
    Our talented team of Code Yodas™ (aka our developers) implemented some cool additions that'll make their red carpet debut in 4.6. 📸 
    The ones we're highlighting today are the improved appearance of Notifications Settings and Top Files reporting in the ACP. Shout-out to YouTube Short URLs being fixed as well.

    Improved appearance of Notifications Settings
    You'll notice we're adding more flexibility to control what kinds of notifications show, and incorporating them with the Push notifications feature. 😍 . Thanks to @Rikki for hooking up the screen shot preview!
     

     
     
    Most Downloaded files statistics in the ACP
    And for the data junkies, we've also added statistics for the most downloaded files in the ACP. Shout-out to @Matt Finger for this implementation!




     
    Our full list of changes made in the last week:
    - Fixed an issue where changing table filters could cause the table to be stuck in loading state due to an underlying error.
    - Fixed an issue where Stripe webhook events may fail in some circumstances.
    - Account settings will no longer prompt for re-authentication if the account does not have a way of re-authenticating. Applies mostly to custom SSO integrations.
    - Fixed an issue where Youtube Shorts URLs would not embed.
    - Fixed an issue where API requests may cause an error if referencing transactions from deleted members.
    - Improved the appearance of the Notification Settings screen.
    - Added support for converting Markdown formatted posts in Vanilla.
    - Fixed some issues when converting from Vanilla and your files used to be in S3.
    - Added statistics pertaining to the most downloaded files

    Lots of exciting things going on here. What's your favorite from the list? Sound off in the comments - we'd love to hear from you!

    Hi @Michael R I'm always happy to help out with anything to do with CSS - I've spent hundreds of hours tracking down codes to make changes with CSS across a number of platforms, so if you need help with anything PM me with the changes you want, with links, so I can take a look and advise you.  If you will pardon the analogy, my custom CSS file is like a christmas tree lol.  But it's fun tracking things down and making changes.
    With regards to not being able to find specific movies, that's down to TMDB which is a different database to IMDB.  TMDB allows you to add movies once you've registered with them - if you do this yourself then those movies will become available for you to add to your own database.  You can add the movie title, poster images, actors, directors, crew, YT trailers, and general images and whole bunch of other data.  It's fun to be able to do that too, because you get to add what's important for you.
    Always happy to help 🙂

    Michael R reacted to Adriano Faria in Movies   
    1: Sure, with a custom CSS. I’m really not good with it so wait for @Davyc or someone else to help you with that.
    2: No. The episodes comes all together in a tab on TV Show view. All the info provided is there.
    3: This worths for the #2 too. Not everything you see in their site is available in the API. We (me and people who participated in development) found several examples of things showing in their site that was either not available or available in a different way in the API.

    Agreed the template is nice - just waiting for any clean up @Jimi Wikman performs to see how things change.
    One question to ask Jimi - the rating circle, is that your own rating or is it the rating taken from TMDB?  If it's your own, is there a way in your template that it could be pulled from TMDB?
    I reckon you could work well with @Adriano Faria in terms of styling.
    Great work @Adriano Faria for making such a sweet app and to @Jimi Wikman for doing some restyling for those of us who like movies and want to share with others 🙂

    Hello all,
    I am looking for a solution to integrate my podcast into my site.  I have ideas on how I want it to look and how users will access and comment on episodes. I am not smart enough to know if this is a full blown application or something that can be built in Pages. Either way, I am willing to pay for the development. Based on other feedback I have read, I suspect there are others who would be interested.
    Please message me if you are interested.
    Thank you!!!

    I believe that it would be interesting to have the option for community members to add job openings in the community and an moderator or administrator accepting the job posting.
    Option to create personalized fields, such as "salary range", "type of hiring", "about the company", space for the company to place its social networks and if it is not too complicated, the candidate can apply for the job in the community yourself, instead of going out and applying in another site. Everything would be centralized within Invision. Let's talk better. 🙂

    I have asked @Adriano Faria to make a podcast manager, there's a lot of room for communities to deliver a podcast straight to their audience and it's a very popular feature for sites to have. I think once things get into a position whereby there's an app for this, it will fit the needs of quite a few on here.
