  1. Again, I'm missing some welcome topics.

    For the latest 5 registered members only two welcome topics have been created.

    All normal account signups? i.e. not Facebook. The Auto Welcome app is still going to skip SSO signups until I've found another way to hook into this.

  2. It works great and looks great with the theme.  Just one question so far... in the main area where it lists "New Videos" or you have the option to put "Featured Videos", is there any option to have the categories listed in this way?  Thing is, due to the layout of my site I can't really have the categories where they are as I need the site sponsor's MPU in there.

     

    Just to follow up on my post above, I think it would be great if the categories currently in the sidebar could be a widget, then can be places where desired.

    I really like the "latest videos" section, but would also like to be able to have categories, with image/thumbnail in the main part of the site, like on the gallery app. 

    So just a direct copy of the fixed sidebar categories block into a widget? I was toying with that idea when I first built the home page. Might be an issue if you've got a lot of categories though. I can include a widget next version that is just a copy of the current block if you want?

    Like the Gallery albums at the top, like how it shows the latest image from each album? That actually might be a better option and more media focused then the current approach. Let me know if you have any further thoughts on this. The only issue might be if someone had a lot of categories, might need to be some kind of cut off that will link to the view all categories page.

    I know this is the videos support but can i just say mike. the system you use to show videos and the tile/list view etc would work great with articles. You should maybe do another app for those. I know i would buy it because the default ips sucks if you wish to use categories and have a lot of articles.

    Have you considered the Tutorials app? I try to avoid as much as possible releasing new apps if someone has already built it.

  3. yes please, that would be great. 

    Also, will it be styled by the theme I have installed (agile by ips themes) or as its a separate application would I need to style it myself?

    I sent you a PM with the test board login details. Let me know if you need further help setting it up.

    I'm not aware of any skin issues with the Videos app currently. Generally if the skin is designed well and follows proper standards then it should be compatible with any of my apps. If you've got a skin you would like to try, the demo board includes acp login details so feel free to install the skin to check it's compatible.

  4. Provided all the other settings are the same and you just need to reward 30 days for each $5 amount donated. I would delete all but one of the "Member Rewards" and extend it to cover all donation amounts. Then change the "Options" setting to "Per Amount", this would issue a promotion for X amount of days for every dollar donated. So enter 6 days as the promotion time and $5 = 30 days and $10 = 60 days.

  5. Adds status replies and add reply support to the "Recent Status Updates" widget, similar to how IPB 3.4 worked.

    Features:

    • Expand/collapse toggle for displaying status replies. 
    • Add status reply form and save using ajax.
    • Set a status reply limit before directed to members profile page.
    • Enable or disable text truncate for status replies.
    • Optional setting to include status reply reputation.
    • Modifies the existing core widget, just upload plugin and your done.

  6. I would personally be fine with just cookies. There would need to be some unique identifier for each message so new messages wouldn't get hidden.

    I'll log this as a bug report and if easy to add, add next bug fixing update. If not, then it's been noted for a future version.

  7. but i reinstall new version and working good now , its needed ?

     

    Oh ok, if working fine now. Not not needed anymore.

    If you do have any more issues, let me know as another bug fixing update will be coming soon.

  8. I did the update and everything is OK. What is this extra option Video - adds a new title and URL address - what is their purpose?

    If you've got a series of Videos that you want to add in 1 place. Maybe a playlist or something similar.

  9. Thanks Mike as always for all the work you do for us, I changed the code on the index but no joy, the background should be transparent but showing as white. Any other ideas where to change the news background so I can make my theme transparent?

    I'll need admin cp login details to troubleshoot this further. Without knowing what the skin is doing I have no definite instructions for a better style to use.

  10. I just noticed that in auto Welcome topic IP listed in upper right corner of the post is new member IP not mine despite me being set as topic's author:

    Is that by design?

    No that's a confirmed bug, I've logged a bug report to fix next version.

  11. one more bug : i cant go to my profile

    after ticket support , staff ipb told The problem seems to be with the third party application "Form"

    but i did uninstall and reinstall and now working now with new version 

    Can you PM me admin and ftp login details and I'll need to troubleshoot this further.

  12. haha I might need a pair as well, completely missed that.

    The problem is any change you make needs to be applied to the topic poll and sidebar poll widget. Try this, open acp > customization > edit theme > core > global > global > poll.

    Find:

    <span class='ipsType_normal ipsType_light'>

    Replace With:

    <span class='ipsType_normal'>

     

  13. Total vote count.

    Per choice shows number of people who voted for that choice and percentage. That works fine.

    You'll need to check with IPS as to why it no longer shows the total vote count as I'm using their template bit to display the Poll in the widget.

    I am considering creating a new template that doesn't rely on theirs due to some other issues, if I do go ahead with that I'll see if the total vote count data is still stored and if so I can add that.

  14. Donations dont show up on front nor back end. Not being kept track of at moment.

    1. Do you restrict guest access to the application?
    2. Have you followed the Paypal gateway instructions and setup Paypal's IPN feature?
  15. In side bar, donation goal, keeps showing latest goal even though option is set to 'featured' goal and there is only one. Currently only way to set it so that the featured goal shows in that box is by manually selecting the goal. However, that box also shows all previous goals including disabled goals to me (not sure if this is intended or a bug).

    This is a confirmed bug that will be fixed in the next version. Until then, please select the "Latest Goals" option instead for that widget.

  16. In default is doesn't show either.

    Have you made any changes to the language strings? The "module__portal_portal" language string would be what's suppose to be displayed there.

  17. If I'm not mistaken it used to show how many people voted in a poll.

    I don't see that number being displayed anymore.

    The total vote count or per poll choice? The later should still be showing. I'm guessing IPS removed the total vote count.

  18. 1 - On the videos homepage we want to show the last videos of the category Asia (where there are subcategories for countries like China Thailand etc), the problem is by selecting Asia in the videos feed widget, then it shows nothing, even if there are plenty of videos in the subcategories ! of course nobody would select the "Asia" category as they are subcategories for every countries of Asia, so this is a problem, it should show all videos of all Asia subcategories instead

    Same problem when we click on "Asia" in the categories list in the sidebar, it says "no videos here" quite disturbing for the visitor, even if they are many videos in subcagegories, so same here it should show all videos of all Asia subcategories instead

    The later part is actually a bug, if you've got the "Category Only" setting enabled it should be hiding both video listings and add video buttons. I've logged a bug report here. Regarding the video widgets I'll need to think about this. It should be disabling categories like Asia as content can't be posted in it. Including sub forum support into that widget may be a resource issue.

    2 - On every video from the Thailand category for instance, i would like to add the last 6 videos of the Thailand category below the video, which makes sense, the problem is if i add a widget for this, then i would show the last 6 videos of the Thailand category below all videos ! not only those of Thailand, so i think the best would be to add by default a box with the last videos of the same category below each video

    Could you just expand a bit on this and what your trying to do?

    3 - On the videos feed widget, it would be nice to add a "See all videos from this category" link at the end, which could be optionnal, because now when adding a widget with the last 3 videos of the Thailand category on the videos homepage for instance, there is no way for the visitor to click to see the entire Thailand category

    That's a good idea. Maybe if it's triggered if a specific category is selected. It could link directly to that category versus the current view videos page it currently links to. Will note this for the next version.

    4 - The category list is nice on the videos homepage (now it seems to work perfectly), but when browsing categories or videos, then this block disappear and there is no way to browse categories anymore

    So we thought a lot about this and how to improve it, what we thought by looking at other sites having the same problem, a good solution would be to show always all categories in the sidebar, only first level categories, and then if you click on one top level category it shows the subcategories below it, one click again and it hides them

    When looking a specific category, then the subcategories would show in the sidebar automatically (but this block should still show all other first level categories so that the visitor can easily switch to another category)

    Couldn't you just add the same widgets to the browse pages as well?

    I've gotten some competing feedback on how the categories/sub categories should be served. So anyone who was to provide feedback is open to reply or PM me with their suggestions. Generally I'll use the same approach that the default forums and apps use to maintain the same design standard but if there a better suggestions out there, I'm open to them.
