I think the alert to new members only should work. I started working on a mod and I decided to wait a bit cause it may or may not be applicable to Ver 5.0... I learned a long time ago that I don't like creating, testing and deploying the same thing twice.

This is not really a "Problem" per-se but. Is there a way to have all the preexisting content marked as read for new registrants so that they only see content created after they have validated or registered as "unread"? I've had about 3 new registrant "complaints" that new registrants couldn't tell new content until they "complained" and where told to click the "Mark site as read" button. I had never really thought it but it kind of makes sense that they want to see only content since they registered marked as "new". I looked for a setting in ADMIN CP and searched here but didn't really find an answer. Thanks.

Need whatever is new to be secure and defensive against hacking and spam. The Zingy-est UI and features are only as good as they are from tampering. Please include a security review before release. Thanks you!

So do we know what defines the constants or where constants are defined on the hosted environment since there is no constants.php. Does the installer use "something" else... I checked HTACCESS... didn't see anything there. It doesn't matter really... I'm getting my PHP debugging environment set up and then I'll figure it out. I always figure stuff out. Thanks for your time!

I did create one... and it did work... I was just trying to understand why? it works. I've been a software developer for like 20 years... but I've worked on the kind of software that you need to know why everything works like it does because the customers had low tolerance for not knowing why something didn't work but they always wanted to know why a change made something work when it didn't before. Why is it needed in one environment and not in the other. Non sibi sed patriae

I've been wanting to learn about Dev Mode etc. So I have been building a localhost site on my dev box. Windows 10 with IIS 10.0 MySql 8.0.28 PHP 8.1.22 I've spent several hours moving the code and the DB over from my hosted test site and finally did a full install of IPS 4.7.13 and that helped a lot but still couldn't everything to work then I ran the checker again and it asked me to create a constants.php file. <?php define( 'TEMP_DIRECTORY', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/uploads' ); This was the final key to what looks to be a fully working localhost test environment. But I am puzzled. I don't find a constants.php file on my working hosted site. Does something else take the place of this.... I'm searching a reading for constants.php in the forums... I guess I just wanted to take the easy route this time.

So as a software developer with 20 years experience, 5 of those in PHP a few years ago, who was about to start learning development techniques for IPS... I should just wait for Version 5 to release?

I realize this is probably the wrong place to ask since I have my email configured to use my hosting services SMTP because I could not get the PHP email to work dependably BUT. Is there anyway to filter out anything from an email ending in ---> .ru <--- you know... Russia. That seems to be the only place I'm getting consistent spam on the "Contact Us" link. I tried setting up a filter on the hosting service SMTP server but it wants @mail.ru or @something.ru ... those Russian programmers are pretty good and constantly use a different domain ... thx

No modified email templates. But Even though I was updating a topic using Chrome where I was not logged into a google account (guest only)... my Firefox on a different physical computer was logged in to my primary site. I have notifications turned off and emails turned on for my account... so I don't get a notification or "bloop bloop" sound. My most current test did see an email come through. I'll check with the other users that noted it as a defect, but I suspect it's functioning correctly. Thanks again!

I'm having a similar problem so I searched and found this thread... My email setup is to have my hosting service (Dreamhost) SMTP send email. (I tried the PHP setup and got some sporadic responses for "followed" content but none of the "contact us" links would send any mail. I've checked the logs and they show no failures and checking the dreamhost account there are no returns/unables. But (1) Tetst email works from ACP and "Contact Us" solidly works. First... are you still following the content you are wanting to get notifications for? Double checked for followed content and checked with other users and they are not getting followed emails either. If so... have you checked to make sure your see if your settings are still configured to notify you via email? (Click on the bell and then "Notification Settings".) Still set to "A notification when new content is posted" --->Email If those are all working... are you receiving ANY email from your site? Test by going to ACP > System > Settings > Email Settings > Test Settings Received test email OK If you are not getting the test email, it means IPB has sent the mail, but your outbound mail server was not able to deliver it to you. Should that be the case, it may be a SPF/DKIM setup issue. But let's start with those and see how far we get. 🙂 I have to think its just a notification/email setting since the other emails (test/contact) are going out ok... but I don't know the code. Any help appreciated

Been checking this off and on and they run periodically some every 5 minutes and some once a week ... So I guess that's good!!! Thanks! Randy Calvert

Ok thanks

I tried to figure out how to create a gradient in the Easy Theme Editor and I don't ever get a screen that matches the "Help Guides" https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/themes-and-customizations/getting-started-with-themes_324/creating-a-theme-with-the-easy-editor-r112/ Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm on IPB 4.7.10 on my test site.

Now big warning so guess I'm ok!

Yeah! Dreamhost doesn't give you access to the cron logs. I see the attached in admincp->System->Settings->Advanced Configuration on the Server Environment tab. And when you click on the View Tasks link the dates don't seem to be changing. This is a very low volume site.
