  1. A Zapier integration bridge sounds exciting. Maybe open a new topic for the Zapier integration? What are the IPS ECAs (events / conditions / actions), that are supported by the bridge? Are conditions implemented at all ("premium filter" availability)? The pricing model only states "starting at 20$/month" (and that's it for single users, but are there any hidden costs on top of that?) Any known limitations?
  2. As a general suggestion for the reactions points: I recently saw an input mask in another app, that allows reactions per forum, as well as for the receiver as for the giver. I think this is a very smart idea, because each forum has another significance for the community. The main benefits of this are: have different points (positive/neutral/negative) according to the value of each section (you can exclude off topic areas for example, or you can assign different points levels for areas of more or less value) while awarding reactions receivers with points, also award reaction givers. this leads to a complete engagement spiral. members (receivers) are being enticed to create high quality contents, other members (givers) are being enticed to make use of their available reactions (which will again entice more receivers aso) if we could add both reactions points types per forums for each reaction, this would allow us a lot better control about how much points are awarded/deducted, and this leads the community members to prioritize areas for their posts creations, which are most wanted by the community
  3. Reactions for issue/item starter posts aren't displayed on mobile view... And I get embed errors with embedding linked contents into the editor (f.e. if I want to cross reference another project manager issue) Template core/front/embed/embedHeader is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme And please check the feature to show an extra badge if you have the time, whom issues/items are assigned to already on the preview/overview pages. It would make working on the project a lot easier. So on the overview pages, currently it shows BUG OPEN New feature request Should look like this -> BUG OPEN FOSTERS New feature request ^^ additional information, to whom the issue is assigned to Please consider this feature. Thanks.
  4. Another important question is: Why are only member groups promotions supported in the membership subscriptions module, that promote members to a primary member group? I'm using a complex group structure of primary and secondary groups and I really require to offer subscriptions, that promote members to secondary member groups only! My members require to purchase multiple subscriptions at once, and this is only possible with "secondary group promotion subscriptions"!
  5. When will the upgrade with the announced new templates or settings take place? Just asking, as I will be interested again as soon as there is a compact, minimalistic display of bookmarks. My communities opinion was, that bookmarks only make sense, if they can find each specific bookmark easily and fast again. With more than f.e. 200 bookmarks and a totally overloaded template, no member ever found his favourite bookmarks again. And my members also like to create complete "bookmark lists" in different "bookmark categories" for other members. Sort of their personal best-of-advices-selections. That's the reason, why categories should have individual descriptions shown on the member profiles, and bookmarks should have an extra field for an individual, personal bookmark note, to enhance the bookmark with personal words... I suggest, just the BOOKMARK CATEGORY NAME and additionally 2-3 lines text description should be shown for the categories headlines (as a settings option). And for the bookmarks, just show the original title of f.e. the topic. And have a second text line for editable personal notes, that can identify the tangible content, if the member wishes to add such a note. (as a setting option) What I'd love to see is something like this: Thanks.
  6. The time buffer is set to 3 hours. Today a member received 3 personal messages (PM) via the birthday greeter (the member is in 2 allowed member groups) Maybe the task is processed once an hour?
  7. Today I discovered, that if a member is in 2 allowed member groups, he received the birthday greeter PM twice (the second PM 1 hour later), but should only receive once. There is something wrong. Probably if mixing allowed and denied member groups, they receive none, but have to go on testing this.
  8. It's showing up after quite a time, probably due to a background task. But if you use different profile categories (=profile fields sorted into categories), the "age" shows in each section in the member profiles. If you have more than one profile field categories, you will see it multiple times on the members profiles pages.
  9. Hi, the following questions: Does the app honor the notification setting "Send me news and informations"? So if opted-out, it won't send any emails, even if the birthday has been entered? For my test user, I didn't receive an email nor a pm: # my test user was an admin (primary group) and a member (secondary group). Settings were on for "admins", but "member" excluded (in exclude groups). Is this a problem? Maybe it would be of advantage to specify who to send to, and not what groups should be excluded? # I read about "you need activity to trigger the send task". What activity do you mean? Is logging in an activity already, or does it require content creation on each day? Is there an overview, how many emails have been sent? Or any other indicator? Or a "test mode" where PMs are sent to the admins, that confirm birthday emails/pms have been sent (with details to whom, when...) Thanks.
  10. I'm interested in the Member Goals add-on (though I think the renewal fees are a bit pricey in relation to the main app). But this makes me ask some informations concerning the future of this add-on: Will this add-on be updated with fresh triggers and f.e. new award types (points, items, more?) regularily in the future? Like the main app? Might there be additional rewards (not only points or membersshop items" but additionally lead to "process XYZ rule in automation rules"? Or additional functionality as "if goal is reached, send a notification/PM to admins" (for custom awarding)? Are more crazy goal types planned like a content-read-per-time-trigger, f.e. "has read 25 forum posts a day"? Or "is very active during night times between 0 am - 4 am"? Or "has been scrolling down on 40 topic pages of a special topic"? Might there be done any triggers like "has received 2 iawards in a week"? (I know the iaward app is not supported yet) Maybe something like "has posted 10 posts in a special forum with at least X characters and/or Y words"? (content measuring) Another idea could be, to have an "iaward" given for reaching a goal (could be done via a rule as well), but as soon as another person will also meet the goal afterwards, the iaward is taken from the initial goal owner, and moved to the new person (= a special trophy that is handed from last person to the next person aso) And: "member has received at least 5 positive reactions for a single content (topic or post…) in an hour/week/month/year"? What happens if I create a lot of goals? Will this be reducing the loading speed of my community remarkably? I imagine there has to be set a counter for each member for every goal, and if you have a huge member database, there might be adverse consequences? Before I start purchasing a lot of membersshop add-ons, will these apps and add-ons be supported until the end of time? ? ? ? To be honest, of course, you can't predict what will happen, but if I start purchasing more and more apps and integrate them to my awarding strategy, I'd wish to hear "the members shop industry is planned to go far beyond IPS 4 or even 5" Only as an idea or a special marketing event, maybe you could sell add-on bundles, like, pay 2, get 3. Thanks for offering such nice enhancements. As soon as I have my strategy built completely, I will go on purchasing more of your add-ons. Your development is highly appreciated.
  11. - the x% they pay to deposit or what ever is set for the chosen usegroup Yes, I was talking about "bank interest per year". I don't know any real bank, who has bank interests on such a high level ? Problem is, that I can only specify "bank interest per month". If it would be "per year" I'd be fine with 1% ? I know, that we can absorb the 12% per year bank interest effect with a 11% deposit fee, but I don't think this is the way to go. Furthermore, and sorry - I'm talking about group permissions again - I found out the following behavior and have to ask if this is intended: I'm an "admin" (in primary group - set to 3% bank interest per month) and also a "system operator" (in a secondary group - set to 2% bank interest per month) RESULT: I get 3% Other example: I'm an "vip member" (in secondary group - set to 3% bank interest per month) and also a "regular member" (in a primary group - set to 1% bank interest per month) RESULT: vip only get 1% So I conclude, that only "primary member groups" are honored. But talking about bank interest, one should get the highest value that is configured for any member group he is in. As soon as you have an individual member group strategy in your community, you will get into conflict there - and as far as I know - this isn't the way how IPS handles permissions, either. Maybe I'm wrong, but currently I'm confused ?
  12. They can not earn points if thet are not active, you set the points to be awarded if they have either logged in / posted content in the time frame of the award tasks Maybe I don't understand this correctly. There already is a functionality to stop members earning points, f.e. for receiving reactions, if they haven't been logged in for a week or a month? Where is it please? That would be extremely helpful as I can only start using these features as soon as secondary groups are honored. I really can't overwrite primary member groups, as there are different permissions inherited already and there is no possibility for a default primary group upgrade from all groups. the application is wrote without decimals so I would need to rewrite lots to have that function which will not be something I am looking to do for a while ( don't mean it won't happen though ) ok, I just want to mention that +12% interest rate per year (for people that purchased points for real money) is extremely high. I'm rating this feature by an economic points of view in relation to my business model usage. Please always have in mind, that some of your membershop users try to develop their own business model! It's not only a fun app for us, as we can lose a lot of money with it. As soon as we start offering points for money, this changes a lot. But anyway, I'm already very happy your app exists in the way it is, I'm just adding my comments for you to have them in mind concerning different usage cases. Thanks.
  13. I don't think there should be a maximum, people enjoy being number 1 in rankings etc, if you limit this, there will never be one number 1, you could have 100 with the max points all with the top member point ranking of 1, if someone was 2nd, you never know they could pay to get some points to be in first place, if you limit it, why would they bother? they will not get 1st place on the leaderboards etc they will sit below the other 100 people with the maximum points, Once you take away or limit the chase you take away the peoples fun they can have Your assumptions are totally true, but only for non-business-orientated points-models. As soon as you start, integrating your points system into a business-model, the following happens: Members purchase points for real money. They don't do it, to be no. 1 in any ranking, but to invest their points into subscriptions, sercives, products, downloads… I even lock the stats page for members, as they shall not know, who are the richtest money investors. As far as I know, the bank is secret anyway, so this terminates your ranking argument If people only earn points by content, and not by purchasing them with real money, a fair maximum amount is extremely helpful to make them invest their points, as they can't gain anymore Points don't run out of control. Nobody can become that rich, that it might destroy my business model one day. that is probably something what could get added, but you need to think, if I paid you $10 / $20 to buy points and went on holiday, came back and see you removed my points because I was offline. I am going to either PayPal or my bank and making a claim, thats a joke. ( Remember to think of how people will react ) We've been talking with another developer concerning this 1 year ago. Our main arguments were: If you've been purchasing points in the Playstation Network (as far as I can remember) or on the Microsoft Xbox console, points of course expire and decay after 2 years time. It's a matter of our terms and conditions. Points are being used to be spent on the platforms, not to hoard and treasure them up for ages. Notice, that we don't want to be unfair. We just want to avoid, that # we have heaps of unused bucks on account, as we might change business models one time in the future # members shouldn't gain additional points during their inactivity time (f.e. for received reactions). Imagine, one opens a high value topic, which gains thousands of responses, but the member isn't active anymore, but then returns after 5 years and is a rich man... This requires a handling
  14. Adjust mobile design: Then create the progressive web app (PWA) with common requirements: My community is begging for an app, and I already lost ~60% of member traffic to Facebook and WhatsApp. Why? Not because my content isn't good enough anymore, but my members use my contents, and afterwards, go on with live messaging/meetings (which is an elemental part in my industry) via Facebook and WhatsApp and I lose control. I can do nothing against it. My competitors don't have contents, but they have active Facebook and WhatsApp groups. The FB/WA messaging functions are way better, and my users require an app icon to remember my site as well as push notifications to their mobiles. Not having an app is blocking my success factors extremely. I'm already considering buying an app development for my WordPress pages (which seems to be cheaper as many developers already did it for the WP platform...), but that would be the point to lose the power an IPS app would have. I'd prefer an IPS app, but I don't have ages to wait for one. We need to speed up any arrangement. I'd be willing to pay, too!!!
  15. Other ideas of high interest: redeem functionality -> to avoid that inactive users gain more and more points and become rich without even being active on the site for a longer time (beside the points depreciation idea), there should be a functionality, that members have to "redeem their gained points". Something like a confirmation button, that has to be pressed from to time, otherwise, awarded points will be lost permissions secondary groups -> currently, the IPS permission use the permissions matrix for the member group with the least permission. In members shop, it only uses the permissions of the primary member group (you can test this with bank interest rates). Additionally to my request above (integrate secondary membergroup upgrade promotion feature), also the permissions in the member groups setting should be honored. BUT: as interest rates for VIP or other groups (in primary OR secondary groups) the highest interest rate should be selected Idea: place membersshop items "purchase" button on other pages or in widgets? so we can promote special items elsewhere minimum percentage in bank? values less than 1% should be allowed. currently they don't even save...
  16. Minor bug found: (1) if translating language strings that use "%s%" - which is used for (1) deposit message above deposit button in the bank (^^ see my report above) and (2) states the interest informations in the bank - then the string isn't displayed. As soon as I change "%s%" to "%s percent" it works. (2) the date of the next interest rate in the bank is always displayed in english, but it should also use the "translated date formatting"
  17. Hi CodingJungle, I'm using your babble chat application for a long time now, and though people asking for implementing a more graphical advanced chat solution with existing mobile apps for their smartphones, that are easy to handle, and neat graphics and sound features, it has 2 main advantages: it's an integrated solution, that alllows us to keep control what's going on. We don't want to move our users to other platforms like discord, where users can easily switch to another chatroom and only using ours for new members headhunting and leaving our section/domain… the chatbots idea! The first version of the chatbots was nice, but after a long time using it, the chatbots start annoying some members, who use the chat frequently. WHY? The chatbots are triggered every time, a keyword is used only know the same answer again and again This should really be changed soon: Implement a "trigger pause" per "keyword": If someone writes "this keyword", the bot responds "understood" and then he will stop reacting on this keyword for 5 minutes. If someone writes "another keyword/keyphrase"", he will wait for 1 hour aso… Implement alternative responses (in addition to the trigger pause), which are selected randomly or sequentially. If someone writes "this keyword", the bots respond "unterstood" the first time, the second time "I already told you, I understood", the third time "please don't annoy me" We can only be creative and integrate more advanced response functionality, if we get the tools to implement our ideas... Without these features, I'm losing my main argument no.2 (^^ see above) for using babble.... Please consider this in a next release. It's an important requirement for us. Thanks.
  18. I'm happy with font awesome, but I'd wish to have any integration for an individual icon font, too. Graphical experience (and customization options) are an important usage animation factor nowadays. Currently I'm using hundreds (!) of individual icons uploaded as png, and according to the optimization of loading times, we would benefit of having options for additional vector integrations. I'm not sure, if it is wise to have 2 icon fonts included and using both of them at the same time, but it seems better to me than my png solution ?
  19. Thanks for this plugin. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on my installation… (not on custom design nor on default design)
  20. Additionally, I would require an option to set the commission settings per category, too. The more I think about it, the per category settings should include selection of the appropriate TAX/VAT class selection of the payment gateway selection fo the commission settings Otherwise, we can't handle private and commercial classifieds together in this app, which is a showbreaker for me unfortunately.
  21. Hi @InvisionHQ, please consider to implement a tax/VAT setting per category. Currently there is no solution, if I want to sell commercial stuff which requires to add tax/VAT, for my own items as well for other commercial company sellers... sell noncommercial stuff, where tax/VAT is not allowed to be added. Private sellers are not allowed to have tax/VAT on invoices. It's a bad problem, as I can't use the classifieds app for both requirements, but it should be able to handle these. If there would be a differentiation between categories (one category for commercial users with TAX/VAT applied, another one for private seller with NO TAX/VAT applied by using a 0% TAX/VAT model), the invoicing would be correct for both usage cases. Please do NOT use a single general TAX/VAT setting for ALL classifieds. Make it a per category setting. Thanks.
  22. Hi, some suggestions/requests if possible: It would be nice to have an effect feature, if onmouseover over a slider image, have a transparent overlay (glow effect while moving over slider images - something like a white opacity effect onmouseover). This would look more dynamic while moving the mouse over the slides, if you can feel the slides change a bit during that time... a colored slider background: I mean the color behind all the slider images, something like a background box, that is colored. "Boxing" is a nice design effect. Why these features? I'm using the featured content app as navigations bars with icon images, as the IPS menu is not suited for my requirements…. Just 2 simple enhancements to consider, if you like them too, which would improve the featured content app even more. ? Thanks.
  23. Some suggestions/issues for/with the bank module: Why can't we have fees for withdrawals? I think it should be handled the same as deposits. No statements for deposit costs: On withdrawals, it says "Withdrawals are free" above the "withdraw" button, but on the left side, it doesn't state anything for deposits, not even how much percentage fees are taken off the deposit. No warning, no statement, nothing… Beside of that this is an important information, it also breaks the design, as the deposit button is located a row in height above the withdrawal button On mobile view, the "transactions" link breaks the design... it gets moved out of the title bar Other important suggestions: membership upgrades to secondary groups (already mentioned above but I list it here again) points depreciation: an option to reduce points by inactivity time if member is inactive (reduce by x percentage per year or per 6 months, if member hasn't been active during this time, I mean something like a negative interest rate) Define maximum total amounts for points on hand as well as for deposits in the bank, so members have to spend their points if they reach the max limit…. New item for members shop: "purchase advertisements in the IPS ads system" on predefined locations with predefined "active time setting" Allow positive/negative points for (positive/negative) reaction GIVERs at the same time, the receiver is awarded with points. I want to award both: (1) the content author receives points for receiving reactions for good contents (already implemented) but also (2) the GIVER for engaging in user engagement. Every reaction counts, so please let us award both at the same time. For example: Is there any accounting overview for users in the frontend? A location, where they can see how much they received or spent for any special actions? Or any option for a daily summary (with an indicator if the user is above or below the community average) Show the points account balance in the header maybe? like this file -> https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/8832-account-balance/ Notification popups or sounds if a member awarded with points is online at that time For donations, there should be a maximum donation amount (per day) - a limiter is requested to avoid misuse. Award points for being subscribed to bulk mail (per day/week/month) and reduce points if not subscribed to bulk email. -> bulk mail is most important for email marketing, so it has a very high value!! Even more points award triggers (taken from another site off my posts): Best regards, and as always: your members shop app is awesome!!!
  24. Will there be an option to deposit different codes for single-time-use? -> a different code for each purchaser? If yes, we could sell discount vouchers there, that aren't bound to a special person, but can only be used once. So there won't be misuse with these codes/vouchers... So how can I put different codes into the "code field" then? If I hit the return key to get another 'key code insertion field', it just saves the item ? but I can't see any option, how to enter different keys, f.e. 10, in there. Shouldn't I be able to insert a list of key codes? Or do I have to create a new item for every single code?
  25. Concerning the membership subscription promotion feature, I think it will be absolutely necessary to have an option to promote member to SECONDARY MEMBER GROUPS only I don't want to touch primary member groups, as this makes no sense, if members want to buy different member group promotion features. The member group promotion feature should be available for different membershop items in addition, which means, members can buy different membergroup promotion items and will be promoted to different secondary member groups. I would kindly ask to consider this important feature. Thanks. Another concern for paid downloads: If I sell downloads for XY points, then it shows the price correctly, but in the files (to purchase with points) the button still states "DOWNLOAD" only, and there is no information on/below/above the Download button, that there will be a points fee, that has to be paid. It would be beneficial, if it could somehow state "If you download this file, your points will be reduced by XX points. To you want to continue?" Thanks.
