    IC5: Theme Tools

    Yeah, I have to say I'm also worried about ad placement. We need a lot of control over how and where they are included. For example we have some ads which should display as a "horseshoe" around the content. To achieve this currently we have our own wrapper class around the necessary elements etc. Also, from looking in the video from Ehren there is a lot of settings to control and clicking into all sorts of menus with settings. Will there be some way to control it by editing a json file instead for example? That would make it easier and faster for many of us frontend and backend programmers to copy theme settings between different installations etc. Essentially what I'm asking for would be a "source mode" for the theme editor settings view on the frontend.

    IC5: Theme Tools

    A few questions at the top of my mind, I'll probably have some later too. Currently I've made a shared core theme where all our customizations for five different forum installations are. So the HTML, Javascript and CSS is kept the same, but some different output, logic and elements are displayed or utilized based on logic that depends on the value in custom theme variables. I assume there is still some tool to export and import/upgrade custom templates and template hooks? Having to log in to each admin panel and define all these custom templates and hooks would be a pain. Is custom theme variables still a thing and accessible within these templates? And will theme variables that have been modified on the installation be reset or kept upon upgrade/import of a theme? Will the same variables and functions we have available to us when making a template hook today be available to us from these new custom templates and hooks? I realize the names of methods, how you may invoke them, template logic etc., will be different, but my point is; will all the variables and functions that can be used in the template we hook into be available to us?
  3. The "Geolocation based registration filtering" sounds good, but maybe you could also provide an option to flip it to a whitelist? So you can choose a global setting that'll apply when a geolocation filter entry for the country is not present, and then you'll add the countries that should be treated differently/whitelisted instead.
  4. Sorry for the delay, things have unfortunately been hectic on my end. It also turned out I locally had a slightly different version of 1.2.3 which caused me not be able to reproduce. I've seen in a new minor update, 1.2.3.1, for Marketplace review. Hopefully it gets approved soon, I've sent a headsup to someone at Invision 🙂
  5. Hi, could you post the error here or send me a PM? I don't get any such warnings myself.
  6. It seems the only way to get push alerts on iOS is to choose "Standalone" as the display mode in the manifest. Problem I see is that if any page in the community takes a bit long too load, it looks to the user as if nothing is happening. In the standard Safari iOS browser you can see the loading indication under the address bar that pops up when you click something, but nothing like that appears in a standalone web-app. Obviously slow loading times should be investigated and resolved, but I feel there should still be some feedback from the UI that loading is in progress, otherwise the user will just try to click multiple times. I'm not sure if there's something that could be added to the manifest to resolve this, or if you could work on something else, but I think you should investigate some UX improvement here.
  7. I think it's good SEO-improvements is done, but in this case I feel it's at the expense of guest user experience. Why can't this be solved with indicating nofollow or adding it to robots.txt? If the link is not gonna take you to what you expect as a guest, then why have it be a link for them in the first place.
  8. I'll be working on a project in a few weeks which would require parts of the community to be embeddable on an external site. They should be able to do basic actions such as registering, logging in, reading topics and replying to topics all within the iframe on the external site. The height reserved for the iframe on the external site should be dynamic and change whenever the height of the embedded page changes. My idea thus far is to solve this by asking them to include an iframe on the external page. I'll obviously be adding a Content Security Policy so the community can't be included everywhere. My initial thought on the approach to do this would be to create a separate page or pages on the community where I add the required elements one by one/create the templates/CSS/javascript etc. from "scratch". So for example the URL for the iframe would be: Community.com/iframe/Topic.php?tid=10000 However, I'm starting to think that a better apporach might be to solve this by creating a very simplified and stripped down theme optimized for iframe-embedding. That theme would then be used automatically when the community is embedded in an iframe and/or when a certain URL-parameter is added to the URL, for example: invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/458426-critical-resource-updates/?display=iframe Which approach would you recommend, and do you have any other tips or things I should be aware of? I'm just sort of in the phase of thinking a bit about it in the back of my mind, so any pointers and hints on the best ways to approach and develop this, and the tools to use, would be appreciated!
  9. I recently upgraded a community and we noticed guests no longer get the ?do=getLastComment link on "timestamp links", for example the timestamp link in the last reply column in topic lists. The link is now the same as the title link which just goes to the first page.
  10. Can the default action when deleting a member be changed from Delete to Leave? In our case it will always be "Leave" and "Continue to attribute" (we change member name to random string before deleting)
  11. I'll also jump in here and confirm that our moderators get this error a lot. Examples: Unknown or bad format (P-1Y11M24DT2M3S) #0 /data/ipsdiskcache/prod/template_2_e554b6dcaef0395bbd7d6d63ba187d0a_modcp.php(6271): DateInterval->__construct('P-1Y11M24DT2M3S') #1 //system/Theme/SandboxedTemplate.php(61): IPS\Theme\Cache\class_core_front_modcp->warnHovercard(Object(IPS\core\Warnings\Warning)) #2 //applications/core/modules/front/system/warnings.php(116): IPS\Theme\_SandboxedTemplate->__call('warnHovercard', Array) #3 //system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(107): IPS\core\modules\front\system\_warnings->view() #4 //system/Content/Controller.php(50): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute() #5 //applications/core/modules/front/system/warnings.php(42): IPS\Content\_Controller->execute() #6 //system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(153): IPS\core\modules\front\system\_warnings->execute() #7 //index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #8 {main} Exception: Unknown or bad format (P-1Y11M24DT2M3S) (0) #0 //applications/core/sources/Warnings/Warning.php(400): DateInterval->__construct('P-1Y11M24DT2M3S') #1 //system/Content/Item.php(463): IPS\core\Warnings\_Warning->processAfterCreate(NULL, Array) #2 //system/Content/Item.php(143): IPS\Content\_Item::createFromForm(Array, NULL) #3 //applications/core/modules/front/system/warnings.php(140): IPS\Content\_Item::create() #4 //system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(107): IPS\core\modules\front\system\_warnings->warn() #5 //system/Content/Controller.php(50): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute() #6 //applications/core/modules/front/system/warnings.php(42): IPS\Content\_Controller->execute() #7 //system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(153): IPS\core\modules\front\system\_warnings->execute() #8 //index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #9 {main} #0 //init.php(1029): IPS\_Log::log('Exception: Unkn...', 'uncaught_except...') #1 [internal function]: IPS\IPS::exceptionHandler(Object(Exception)) #2 {main}
  12. I see the following error a lot in our system logs after updating from PHP 7.4 to 8.1: TypeError: in_array(): Argument #2 ($haystack) must be of type array, int given (0) #0 /*/system/Content/Content.php(1714): in_array(300, -1) #1 /*/system/Content/Controller.php(3001): IPS\_Content->report('', '2') #2 /*/system/Content/Controller.php(2271): IPS\Content\_Controller->_report('IPS\\forums\\Topi...', Object(IPS\forums\Topic\Post), Object(IPS\forums\Topic)) #3 /*/applications/forums/modules/front/forums/topic.php(1240): IPS\Content\_Controller->__call('_report', Array) #4 /*/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(107): IPS\forums\modules\front\forums\_topic->__call('reportComment', Array) #5 /*/system/Content/Controller.php(50): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute() #6 /*/applications/forums/modules/front/forums/topic.php(39): IPS\Content\_Controller->execute() #7 /*/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(153): IPS\forums\modules\front\forums\_topic->execute() #8 /*/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #9 {main} This TypeError doesn't prevent the report from being submitted, but it causes a redirect in the browser (because of an ajax call not receiving the expected reply) to the report page for the content, where the user will be told they've already reported it. In Content.php at or around line 1714: <?php if ( ! in_array( $item->mapped('container'), $perms[ $container::$modPerm ] ) ) As seen in the error pasted above, the first parameter was 300 (referring to the forum id), while the second parameter supplied is -1. The value of $container::$modPerm is "forums", and the value of $perms['forums'] is just -1. This is because, while the moderator or moderator groups is restricted, they are unrestricted in which forums they are able to operate, and then you save it as -1 to the forums-key in the json value for the perms-column in ibf_core_moderators.
  13. After upgrading the server of one of our communities from PHP 7.4 to 8.1 I found the following error message popping up a lot: TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, string given in /www/system/Data/Cache.php:151 This was caused by some custom code being referenced in a custom theme which requested a value with \IPS\Data\Cache::getWithExpire. This is how that function looks currently: <?php public function getWithExpire( $key, $fallback=FALSE ) { if ( !isset( $this->$key ) ) { throw new \OutOfRangeException; } $data = $this->$key; if( \count( $data ) and isset( $data['value'] ) and isset( $data['expires'] ) ) { // ... } else { unset( $this->$key ); throw new \OutOfRangeException; } } After some debugging I found that $data was indeed a string, and thus can't be counted. My first thought was that you should change from \count( $data ) to \is_array( $data ) in this function, which I still think you should, but the next mystery was to figure out why it would be a string, since you always expect it to be an array, and I used the regular storeWithExpire to save to Cache. I found the culprit to be former abundance of caution, or what might have been a good reason at the time I implemented it (many many years ago): My code would first request the cache key from \IPS\Data\Cache::getWithExpire. If it didn't find it saved in Cache or it was expired, it would move on to check \IPS\Data\Store, with a 1/15 chance of unsetting it in \IPS\Data\Store to prevent the value from "never" being updated. If it didn't find it in any of them, then it would request the value from an external source and save it to both Data\Cache and Data\Store. But if both methods utilizes Redis, then it means the second method will just overwrite the cache entry that the first one saved. Data\Cache stores an array to the cache key in Redis, but then Data\Store would immediately overwrite the same cache entry with a string. You can reproduce with this code: <?php require_once 'init.php'; $cacheKey = 'storeItPlease3'; $saveToCache = 'Hello world :-) | ' . date(DATE_RFC2822); $expire = \IPS\DateTime::ts( time() + 60 ); try { $cached = \IPS\Data\Cache::i()->getWithExpire( $cacheKey, TRUE ); echo $cached . "\n"; } catch ( \OutOfRangeException $e ) { try { $cached = \IPS\Data\Store::i()->{$cacheKey}; echo "Found in store: {$cached}\n"; if ( rand(1, 15) == 15 ) { unset(\IPS\Data\Store::i()->{$cacheKey}); } } catch(\OutOfRangeException $e2) { echo "Couldn't find in Data\Store!\n"; } echo "Didn't find {$cacheKey}. Write it!\n"; \IPS\Data\Cache::i()->storeWithExpire( $cacheKey, $saveToCache, $expire, TRUE ); \IPS\Data\Store::i()->{$cacheKey} = $saveToCache; } While I understand this kind of situation arising being rare and you probably don't expect people using both methods simultaneously like this, I thought I would still make you aware of it in case you encounter similar reported issues in the future and maybe make some changes to your code. Having a key name be the same in both Store and Cache could also happen by accident, although I guess the chance is rare. Consider use is_array() rather than, or in addition to count() in \IPS\Data\Cache::getWithExpire (Do you even need that first check, maybe it's enough with the isset()-calls?) Consider prepending or appending to the cache key for one of the storage methods to differentiate entries in Redis saved by Store and Cache (Alternatively document that one shouldn't use a key for Store that's already used by Cache or vice versa)
  14. I activated the \IPS\CACHING_LOG to debug some issues, but I noticed that I could only open the dialog/modal for the top ones, the cache entries near the bottom I was unable to open the dialog for. Looking into the HTML, the issue seems to be caused by a sudden change in the naming style of the div that's referenced by data-ipsDialog-content. See the attached image: For the working items (that brings up the dialog) the form of the name is #elCachingLog<timestamp>_<id>_menu, but then it suddenly changes to #elCachingLog<timestamp>,<id>_menu (It uses , instead of _ between the timestamp and id)
  15. This is what I would've done. I was in a similar situation as you, but I got us upgraded from 4.5 to 4.7.3 last week. This week I'm in the process of upgrading our servers to PHP 8.1. Then I might try to update to 4.7.4 sometime next week. So download 4.7.3 now from the client area and do a manual upgrade on PHP 7.4. Then update to PHP 8 and then update to 4.7.4++
  16. Hi, On topics with a lot of replies the moderator history log can contain a lot of edited comments. Could you consider automatically filter out editing actions where the author of the post and the member editing the post is the same? Or let us be able to filter out these editing actions of ones own posts manually, by providing a checkbox we can check, or something. While you're at it, you could even consider introducing more filter options for this tool. For example being able to choose which actions to show. (multi-checkbox) But I think the most useful filter option, that makes the most sense, is to filter out moderation actions where an account edits one of their own comments. This is one example from our community: Thank you for the consideration.
  17. I didn't know November only lasts two weeks this year 🙀 Which dates gets thrown under the bus?
  18. I think there's a bug in 4.7.3 with admin group restrictions for Stock replies. I have checked this: Upon giving the restricted admin group this permission they are able to see the list of stock messages, but they are not able to add new stock replies or even edit existing ones.
  19. Could you allow us to increase from for example mediumint to int without the database checker complaining/fixing? I have a forum where I every time have to manually fix member_posts-column because some member is above the limit of mediumint. In my opinion I would say that we should be able to change this, as long as it's change that is able to contain a bigger integer value.
  20. Is it disabled only if the installations uses PHP 8 or is it disabled on 7.4 too? Is the next version 4.7.2 requiring PHP 8 already, or does that come later?
  21. When you specifically choose to follow content you get the option to choose whether you follow it anonymously or not. However, when you follow content automatically because you reply it's always followed publicly. Maybe implement a setting members can choose together with the other notification settings on what should be the default behaviour.
  22. I've also received this feedback from multiple members and communities, that members find it confusing they are all marked as unread when opening the notifications. Has there been any more discussion on this internally?
