  1. Just tried to update Tutorials and received this:

    2015-07-01_16-38-50.thumb.png.ec8d84ee2a

    I really don't want to reinstall everything :(

    Update: Damn, it hosed the database. The Categories are missing....

     I installed 2.0.0 and upgraded to 2.0.1 a dozen of times today to test one of the new features and I had no problem with it. And to leave no doubt, I made it again and here it is: http://www.screencast.com/t/Xkyki7biC3R

    I also know that @Michael Schneider upgrade without any problem. He bought the app 30 min before I update it and pmed saying that upgrade just fine. Not sure what could've had happen there, but it seems something on your end.

    2) Seems to be redundancy, I know right side display can be turned off, but It's really not needed.

    If you have only categories, yes. If have subcategories it makes sense:

    Capturar.thumb.PNG.18b2be886146f36da783c

    If you see the screenshot of the file you'll find it useful. Anyway, you can disable it.

    1) There is a white space to the right.

    This is probably due to your resolution. Compare Tutorials listing with topics listing:

    Not that HUGE difference.

  2. What's New in Version 2.0.1: New features:

    • Caegory Icons: now you can choose an icon to your categories. Use: if you have a category of articles about iDevices (iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc.), then you can easily upload the Apple logo to your category. It will be displayed on category list. (image below)
    • Categories on Navigation Bar: to take advantage of menus on IPS4, categories root now will be listed on Tutorials link on navigation bar. Of course this is a new setting; it can be disabled at any time. (image below)
    • Forum Discussion: now you can also choose a forum to be the forum where the users should create their own support topic. It will not create a topic on chosen forum; it will simply add a new button on tutorial view to that forum. Use: Sometimes if the community is very busy, it's not easy to deal with several doubts in one single topic. Forums Discussios can work together with Topic Discussions. That means that you can have 2 buttons on tutorial view: one linking to the FORUM DISCUSSION and another linking to SUPPORT TOPIC. Of course, you can opt to use only one. (image below)

     

    Category Icons and Categories on Navigation Bar:

  3. I'm trying to figure out how to turn off the 'Tutorial Information' so it will open the screen to full page. Is there an option for this?

    No, no option. You can edit the template on ACP -> Customization -> your skin -> Tutorials -> Front -> View -> view, find:

    		<aside class='ipsColumn ipsColumn_wide'>
    			<div class='ipsPad'>
    				{{if $article->container()->forum_on AND $article->container()->forum AND $article->topic()}}
    					<a href='{$article->topic()->url()}' title='{lang="tutorial_get_support_title"}' class='ipsButton ipsButton_normal ipsButton_fullWidth'>{lang="tutorial_get_support"}</a>
    					<br>
    				{{endif}}
    				<h2 class='ipsType_sectionHead'>{lang="tutorial_information"}</h2>
    				<ul class="ipsDataList ipsDataList_reducedSpacing ipsSpacer_top">

    			</div>
    		</aside>

    Move it to wherever you want. Bear in mind that CUSTOMIZATION isn't part of the suppoort. You're on your own. The app is as it is.

    I wouldn't mind having the 'Tutorial Information' being a widget that can be placed in the side block or at the bottom of the tutorial, at least that would allow us to use the full side block if it was a widget, for other widgets. Also it would be nice to be able to place the Tutorial Information at the bottom.

    But I do mind and I won't change this. OK to me if you want to change YOUR installation and do whatever you want.

    Please Michael. Don't treat this app as it is a custom job made exclusively to you. I have other 415 clientes that likes it the way it is, or at least I didn't see any others 20, 30, 75 requests to change it. One, sorry, do not justify. I already made one change to you, you know that, it will be available on next version, but that is all.

  4. I think I see part of this but setting the 'Get Support' button is confusing:

    In Tools: Create Support Topics for existing Tutorials

    Be sure you have set up your options for using Support Topics, including defining a forum for the topics to go in for each category if you have it set up this way.

    I'm assuming this is where I'm having issues with creating the 'Get Support' button for each of my Tutorials.

    I have four Forum categories:

    1. Category 1
    2. Category 2 - 6 support forums
    3. Category 3 - 6 support forums
    4. Category 4 - 3 support forums

    I have three Tutorial categories:

    1. Category 1 - 6 tutorials
    2. Category 2 - 6 tutorials
    3. Category 3 - 3 tutorials

    In each Forum category there is a support Forum to match each Tutorial

    • Forum category 2 holds all 6 support forums for the 6 Tutorials in category 1
    • Forum category 3 holds all 6 support forums for the 6 Tutorials in category 2
    • Forum category 4 holds all 6 support forums for the 3 Tutorials in category 3

    I'm not certain how activate the 'Get Support' button for SETTING my Tutorials that point to a specific support forum?

    It looks like I need to run the Create Support Topics for existing Tutorials in Tools in some fashion. However, I'm not sure and really don't want to hose the database by doing something wrong or out of step.

    It's pretty simple and obvious and it's been like that since version 1.0.0, when the other dev created this app for IP.Board 2.

    In SETTINGS you have 2 settings for the topics.

    1. forum

    2. Template for the support topic. This one you have to fill if you want to use topics, regardless the forum setting (global or per-category).

    For every app I know, SETTINGS is a global configuration for various things. If you want something specific for a category, go to category!

    It's simple: choose a forum on SETTINGS if you want to use THE SAME forum for ALL your categories. See the text below the forum field, indicating that you can use different forums for diffrrent categories. If you want FORUM1 to be used on CATEGORY A and FORUM2 in CATEGORY B, then DO NOT choose a forum on SETTINGS. Choose it on CATEGORY instead.

    You don't activate the button on tutorial view manually. Simply choose a forum (globally on settings or per-category) and create the tutorial. The button will be there.

    And please, use the right terms. The confusion only gets bigger at every new post you do.

    What is SUPPORT FORUMS? I have no idea!

  5. Please, Michael, be clear. What you mean by "post being moved to a tutorial" ? You can create tutorials in 4 ways:

    1. using the form (that's not the case it seems)
    2. tutorializing a post (clicking on a link on each post)
    3. using the tool on ACP.
    4. copying an existing tutorial
  6. I'm created new categories, and then added the tutorials individually. I saw the option in Tools for creating Tutorials from topics but it looked like something that was not reversible if there was problems. Also I think it said multiple in the title.

    When you use the tool, it replaces the content of topic first post by the topic support template text; so if you run it twice, you won't get nothing than the support template text.

    I think that allowing the 'Views' counts to be moved along with the topic would be more natural?

    Personally I don't think. Although the tutorials can be based on a topic, they're different content from different apps and not true I say a tutorial has 1,000 views when in fact it was created 1 min ago and has 1 view. But I can easly add a new option on that Tool form, so admins can decide if they want to use the topic views as tutorial view. No big deal to me.

    I'm not real sure how the Move option works. It appears that it removes the original Topic, but have not actually tried it. Maybe allowing the Topic to remain in the original location, and do a copy as an option? Not a big deal for me as I have backups of my tutorials offline if something happens. The big thing would not to loose the view count.

    No, it doesn't delete anything. If the new category uses a different forum from the source category, the topic will also be moved to the proper forum. It the new category uses forum but the source don't, the topic will be created. This is handled by the framework itself.

    Also, My topics reside in the support forum. I see this in the settings. I'm not sure how that works, as it looks to be global.

    As I said here https://community.invisionpower.com/topic/417126-ips4-tutorials/?do=findComment&comment=2562259, this is used only if you want to create all topics in same forum. If you want different forums per-category, then you have to choose a forum on each category.

     

    2015-06-28_9-58-54.thumb.png.ad0dc62c513

    I'd just like a easy way for the client to jump to the support forum right from the tutorial page?

    If you mean SUPPORT TOPIC, if the the tutorial category has a forum and the tutorial has a topic associated, then the GET SUPPORT button will appear, as it shows on screenshot of this app:

    Capturar.thumb.PNG.573859a9b07e85808bd0f

    My tutorials are all HTML. I did not create them within IPB. I can't edit my HTML code within IPB, I have to use an external editor and then past the HTML code back to the IPB editor and save. For me I prefer to do it this way because it forces me to make sure I have current backups. My tutorials have evolved over the past 13 years.  They are heart of my website.

    Once my HTML is saved in the IPB editor, IPB preforms some sort of sanitation service to the text before the save, or possibly when it is pulled back into the editor. This actually changes parts of my original HTML when I pull it back into the editor.

    I'm hoping the 'Move' post to tutorial will not require me to go back in and past my original HTML back in for each of the moved topics. However, I have backups. I don't want to use the 'Move' option until it can move the view count along with the topic.

    The editor of this app will work exacly the topic editor, or the Articles (from Pages app), or the Gallery editor or the Downloads editor, etc. So if doesn't work here, expect it to doesn't work in all other areas too. The editor is a central feature of the framework. I can't use a different or "make some magic" to your tutorials works on it.

  7. My tutorials reside in the forums. I'm moving them out so the existing view count will be lost. Is there a way for me to transfer the view count from forums to Tutorials. I'm comfortable editing the database tables if needed?

    How are you creating the tutos ? There's a tool that create tutorials from topics, the third one on Tools screen. I can make a quick edit (just to you, not to the package itself) to update the tutorial view with the topic view.

    So far, with the new update, all is going as expected. Very nice addition :)

    Thank you. :thumbsup:

  8. I'm not sure where to post a topic for support?

    When you add/edit a category, you'll notice a tab called IP.Board Topics:

    Capturar.thumb.PNG.8459b0b5f1d1da7ae26a0

    This tab will appear ONLY if you have FORUMS app installed.

    This is used only if you want to create topics in different forums, per-category. If you want to create topics in one forum, regardless the category, use the setting FORUM TO USE FOR SUPPORT TOPICS on this app settings.

    I can add a category but when I try to add the permission to view:

    2015-06-27_23-13-09.thumb.png.f812ba9afc

    I turn on View system and I get:

    2015-06-27_23-13-38.thumb.png.b04f951ff0

    The same thing happens in Members and Groups when I try to turn on the who can view switch.

    I just noticed in Applications it says locked.

    2015-06-27_23-28-51.thumb.png.fc9e6a17ce

    Sorry, both issues above fixed. Download the file again, uninstall your app and reinstall it.

    Is there any documentation on how to turn on what permissions, and how to add tutorials to categories.

    Do you really think it's necessary? It works exacly like all other official apps from IPS and 3rd-party apps.

    You go ACP and create the categories; give the groups the proper permission. Then go to public side and on +Create, choose a category and then create tutorials.

  9. I may be missing something here, but where is the link to the 4.0version? I can only see link to 3.X version plus a link above showing eror code 2D161/2.

    The submission is approved now. :)
