MLS

This is very helpful!   

I wondered why I should have to pay for a plug in for "actual numbers" when I know the software is counting views.   

There should be a control in AdminCP on how we want the numbers displayed, modern friendly or the exact actual numbers.    

Nevermind - found the plugin for $10.00 that lets us disable the friendly number format.

We are a fan fiction community where the writers want to know the actual number of views, so instead of 12.3K they would like it to see 12,345.   How does one change back to actual view numbers instead of the friendly number format?   

We are on version 4.7.11.1 

I'm not a programmer just a volunteer novice, so any help is appreciated.

Hello @Marc Stridgen,

Sorry to make an addendum to this post, but it seemed more efficient than starting a new one for a similar error.

We just upgraded from ICS 4.6 to ICS 4.7.4 today.  Up until our upgrade we had no problems logging into the Marketplace, now when I try to upgrade several plugins we get the message after I push the "Continue as MLS" in the ISC Oath pop-up window:

"There was an error authenticating with the Marketplace. Please try again later or contact technical support for assistance.

Our Marketplace server received an unexpected response from your community. Please ensure your community is up to date and web accessible (localhost installations are not supported) and contact technical support if the issue persists. (server_error)"

 

I have cleared cache and disabled all third-party customizations in the Support area of the ACP as well as made sure that invisioncommunity.com is whitelisted on our server and am still receiving the above error. 

 

Can you please advise?

Thank you.

 

 

 

File Under Nevermind, as soon as I took the site Live I could log back into Marketplace. This is a bit of an odd error, as many times it is preferable to do all of one's updates when the site is Offline.

No.

Editing the templates (or hiding it via CSS) would be the only way.

Thanks! I truncated in the templates.

Hello,

We just got and installed the Bookmarks app. Two questions:

1) Is there a section, other than Template Editing, in the AdminCP where there is Settings and Controls for the App beyond what Groups can see it.?

2) If I wish to Excerpt/Truncate the Post in the "My Bookmarks" and in the "Export Bookmarks" is there a way to do that, or I should I head to Template Editing?

And small note, like @PPlanet above, our "Bookmarks" is showing up to the left of Quotes.

Thank you.

We have our email notifications in IC 4.5.4.2 set to be truncated, but the digests are coming down the pike with full text.

How can I truncate the email digests?

We would like no more than 2 sentences and then a link to the content.

Thank you.

Hello Nathan,

Happy Thursday. I am back with another small adventure.  Our board recently upgraded to 4.5.4, and the (NE) Content Limits for Editor worked great in our Test space.

Last week, in live production of ICB 4.5.4, the plugin claimed it needed updating and then after the update CLfE moved into Applications.  And then things got weird.  Here are the two issues:

1) I can't select all Member Groups or even get a select dropdown like in your screenshots for the app, instead I get a text field where I have to set the settings for every darned legacy group.  Please see screenshot #1.

2) When I set a word limit of 10,000 words for a certain group and then save it.  It does not give a word count in the bottom of the editor or tell me when I have gone over. See screenshot #2.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for the Truncated email toggle, it is perfect for our community as we don't want full topics or comments going out as emails. 

Is it possible to be able to choose how much text is truncated?

Just looked further at this - as mentioned, you can download the earlier version via the change log. If you don't see v1.0.3 in the list then let me know and I will send it over to you.

Thank you, NE, it worked. I hope the wedding was good.

Thank you!!!

I posted too fast.

FYI, Marketplace is now allowing a download of the file for 4.4.  See attached screenshot.

Sorry, Typo.  The marketplace is NOT allowing me to download 4.4.

Thanks for the interest! If you purchase it, the 4.4 plugin version will be available for download via the 'change log'

Hello Nathan,

Is this plug available for 4.4?  The listing in the marketplace only lists 4.5.

We aren't upgrading to 4.5 for another month or two, but would like to purchase and use your plugin now for our current install.

Thank you.

Yes, it's still supported and works with the latest version.

 

Glad you were able to figure it out! This is actually the only way to do it - I never was able to implement anything on the topic row level, as I couldn't do it generically and have it work automatically with all content items. It would have required manual template edits.

As for the label and fieldKey.... you can do that as

{$row->template_fieldKey}

So for example, if you have a field with a key "field1", it would be $row->template_field1. You would do the label like

{$row->template_fieldKey_label}

Hope this helps.

Thank you, @HeadStand !

Hello @HeadStand

Thank you for an awesome app.

I have quite happily added the Template System to a few forum topics where I needed it. But now I would like to take the data and add it to a topic listing  (TopicRow) in the forum index page. Is there any documentation on how this?

I have used the manual view code and it renders as empty. I have looked in the database to see what the saved template rows/tables are called, so that I might call them separately and have not found them.

We are a fanfiction forum with a wide variety of readers who really want to know if the content is adult or for everyone before they click on the topic listing.

Thank you in advance for your advice.

I have officially solved my own problem and possibly yours, too.

How to get the Info from the Template System app to show up in your Forum Topic Row:

1) AdminCP -> Appearance -> Edit your Theme's html/css </> button.

2) Go to Templates -> forums -> front -> forums -> TopicRow

3) In the TopicRow template, I placed the following content after the second </h4> nestled in with the metadata, as that is where it worked best for me. The span classes are my own, the Template System tags simple:

	<div class="story_ratings_tr">
		{{if $row->templateSetContent()|raw}}
			<span class="storyRating">{$row->templateSetContent()|raw}</span>
		{{endif}} 
	</div>

It is not quite the fine level of control at the label and fieldKey level, but good enough for what I needed to do for now.

Perhaps @HeadStand could give tips on how to use the label and fieldKey data in the TopicRow.

I just noticed actually on Vodafone NZ's forum that the hook title is "Lastest Discussions" - seems misspelled ;)
