Let me your forum in private 🙂

For vertical menu maybe in tot the future, it's very easy to modify.It's like megafooter from ACP!

Sorry, was away for the holiday weekend here. If you still need access, please let me know.

Gallery:

Main Nav: I'm glad for the horizontal option, but the Vertical option should also pull from the Menu Manager built into IPS rather than having to be built separately.

Also, building the menu is exceedingly unwieldy. There should be a way to pull and style the main Navigation Menu from within IPS itself. Certain blocks and widgets without editing turn out White on this dark theme, notably caused by #fff found in the CSS such as with .cGalleryLightbox_info. Found so far in Pages and Gallery. The user dropdown menu needs an arrow indicating that it is still there and still able to drop down. If the MegaFooter is disabled, the regular footer should take it's place, currently it doesn't and hides theme and language options.

Just a few thoughts on the theme so far. I and my users agree though that besides some of the issues with it, the theme overall looks absolutely stunning.

Hello! Just purchased this theme, is the ACP side supposed to have unassigned language variables?

Another question for you @TAMAN. Is it possible to change the "Collapse Menu" button or add Text to it? Currently the three bars isn't very intuitive according to the users on our site.

Cheers!

any problems?

 

Fixed this bit myself. Had to add a z-index of 9000 to the navbar ul li. It was dripping in behind profile pictures.

Hi @TAMAN! Have to say I love this theme, however! Would it be possible to have the Navigation menu Collapsed by default?

Also, a way to fix the Navigation Z-index?

Cheers!

Hi @TAMAN!

When using the Different Articles styles, the Display Templates are broken:

This is fixed by reverting to the default "Display" template for now, but we were using the s1 One Column template. We have the new version of the plugin installed, and the templates included in the new version of the themes used.

Hello,

Any idea what was the issue? 

Have you edited any swiper slider templates? 

No, nothing. It was a fresh install. Sorry.

Hi Taman! We are having an odd issue here:

That template error is from a Pages feed from our Developer Blog database, which anyone including guests can see. This is from the guests POV. Members are also reporting this issue. However, it appears perfectly fine when viewed from the Admin side:

It displays and swipes as expected. Any help here appreciated, thanks!

Edit: Fixed, but had to do a complete reinstall.

I've seen posts from members, myself included, asking for more patreon-like features like this for clubs.  I was kinda hoping they'd be added before 5.  Our club usage has decreased rapidly because our artists would prefer setting different sub levels instead of having to average out a one level deal for the content they want to provide to supporters, and being able to do this directly on our website instead of having to have a separate off-site account is our end goal with clubs for now.  😞

Agreed, and for basically the same reasons. It would be nice before 5.0, but I'm not sure that'll happen. Thus it's here.

Is it a possible conflict with the Clear Notifications plugin?

We haven't used salted md5s since v4 😉 We use bcrypt.

Good to know, thanks! Would it be possible to implement other forms of password encryption? Would this even be necessary? 

Continuing thoughts on this, architecture a little bit.

With the ever increasing threat of compromise (dont tell me that it won't/can't/isn't likely), perhaps it's time for a different method of password management? The md5/sha1 types are outdated, and I'm fairly certain that's what Invision still uses? Would be better to use Argon2id and XChaCha20-Poly1305, or something similar, if this hasn't already been dealt with.

At this stage, any discussion about 5.0 should be about the architecture (dev side) of the product imo. Unless a drastic new feature is planned that would warrant going to 5.0. Nothing the topic starter has suggested would qualify. 

All these features could be introduced in the 4.x series. (not that they should).

Forgive me but I disagree. If a discussion of features wanted isn't also started now, then there isn't really a point in also discussing the architecture. Besides that, I believe one of the IPS staffers has already stated that they have no plans at the current time to move away from php dependency. Though you are correct that things do change. Whether its wise or not remains to be seen. Regardless, this is an overarching discussion, so I don't see why both architecture and features cannot be discussed side by side.

As far as the suggestions already made, could some of these be planned into 4.x? Sure. Will they be? It's doubtful. Anyways, that's enough of that being said, moving along.

More descriptive error messages for Gallery. If "minimum number of tags" is set, and members attempt to upload images without tags, all they get is a generic "there were issues, please check indicated uploads".

Also for Gallery: have a Browse option that doesn't involve albums. A "fluid" version, if you will, for browsing the Gallery. I understand that if albums aren't used, this can be accomplished, however users like to sort and organize their images, and Albums allows them to do so.

Clubs: allow different club membership levels/subscriptions. Allow the club manager to open new areas depending on the member's subscription level. Think Patreon style. Also allow the club manager to add pages which they can organize (from the Pages app).

1. I applaud you for starting an IPS 5.0 feedback topic before me.  Props to you.  

2. Customizable homepage - no.  I want to control the display and presentation (and I will admit, the ad placement because I'm a greedy admin farming my user's data.  Take that GDPR!).  

-- 2a. I'm okay with personalizing the content on the page. For eaxmple, pushing content from followers or prioritizing popular content for more interesting and relevant content.  But not the overall layout.  

-- 2b.  If this were Blogs or Profiles that are tied to the user, I could understand.  Those are "individual spaces"in the where it makes sense to give more design control.  But again, not the homepage which is a community homepage.  

4.4. See how I skipped to this number.  IPS is taking it's sweet time.  

Oooh, do I get brownie points for that?

2a. I suppose that's more the request being asked for. Some users would like to be able to modify certain front page blocks pertaining to content feeds (like the New Posts, new images block) to only see certain areas, or to users they follow. I'd be ok with it being an admin set layout where users can modify the content.

2b. This would be useful. Gives users the ability to make their profile unique. This might be a better suggestion overall.

Another admin thing occurred to me as well: email templates. These are difficult to modify currently for those with little experience. Would be nice to have easy to edit color settings.

I know, I know. 4.4 isn't even here yet, and here's a topic for 5.0. How dare I! The shock and horror! In all seriousness though, I think it's a perfect time to start talking about what kinds of improvements can or should be made for Invision Community 5. Some of these may not be possible, some might be, some might not even be thought of yet (oi, post those too). So let's start:

Something many members have asked about, and something I would absolutely love to see, is a member-customizable home page. What I mean with this is the ability of a member to customize what content and blocks they see when they log in. Some members want to rearrange how content is displayed on the home page, and currently that isn't possible. As an admin, I can do this for everyone, but not all members agree with certain choices in this regard. Allowing a member to customize their user experience going forward would be a huge gain.

Another thing to consider in regards to users is Profiles. Currently, clicking on a user link takes you to the Activity feed for that member. An option to select which tab is the "active" tab when a user link is clicked on could be useful for those communities who wish to prioritize, for instance, the About Me section over activity.

On the moderation side of things, the report interface is somewhat lacking. For those of us with the "gallery" application, when an image is reported, that image is not forwarded to the Report center. All that the report center gives is a link to the image and/or the album that was reported. This should at least update so the image reported it available directly and immediately in the report. This will save a lot of time for image heavy communities.

I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, as I'm at work, but I'm liable to post more later.

Thanks @AlexWright...but for some reason the custom.css code isn't doing anything, and I had already checked the page liting and don't have a "home" selection. Double whammy!

EDIT: never mind...for some strange reason the home page is titled differently, so the home page issue is worked out.  But apparently the persistence link underlining is a CSS issue according to some quick Google research.

Can you PM me a link to your site?

Hi @TAMAN,

I bought both your Swiper Slider and the News Ticker. ? A couple of things:

1. I tried using the code for the "Buy now" button, and the button comes up but the words have a link underline where ideally I'd like them to not be underlined. Is there more inline code I could include to change the word style?
2. Could you please explain how one gets the slider to appear only on the homepage, as you indicated I could do?  I obviously know I can select certain apps and pages, but as I'm not sure how Pages classifies the homepage I'm not sure how to exclude the SS from every page except the homepage.

Thanks!

If you're using the above "link" code, in Custom.css add:

.ta_sliderButton a { text-decoration: none; }

Then in the ACP > Swiper Slider > Settings:

Find out which page your home page is, exclude all others by selecting them.

Update is fine. 1 just needed to be uninstalled to remove the col from the member table.

Got it! And tested, works fine. Thanks again!

Just now, All Astronauts said:

Sorry bout that, grab it again now. If it still happens for new quote makers I'll need to investigate further but it appears I just derped this momentarily (should have just used the request id in the first place)

Alright. Can this "new" version be uploaded as an update, or should I uninstall and reinstall again? Thanks!

It's just the redirect I put in - before, when you saved, the page didn't reload so the displayed quote stayed the same until you refreshed. Prob just passing the wrong thing to the redirect method - two shakes, have this patched.

EDIT: Done - dl again, etc...

I just redownloaded this, and uninstalled and then reinstalled. Getting the same issue, but only for folks who haven't set the quote before it seems.

Hello,

I can tell by the screenshot that you didnt update the theme properly 

During theme updating, sometimes a window pops up to select templates between your edited versions and The new update versions. the issues you mentioned is because you have selected your edited versions and not the updated version

 

Do another update and this time make sure to select New version of templates when it asks. if you have already done that and it doesnt ask to select templates then you would need to manually update the templates, in this case send me a message i can explain with screenshots

Did you upload behemoth theme file as dreadnought theme update! ? updating another theme can not effect any other themes. unless you are doing some parent/child theming? 

Nope, not at all. These were 100% new uploads, not a theme update.

Hello @TAMAN,

We have upgraded the theme, however there seem to be some issues and errors. We have your Swiper Slider addon installed. We have disabled "Swiper Slider" in the theme settings. This is what's happening:

We can "enable" swiper slider in the theme, but then they're stacked one on top of the other. Help appreciated.

Edit 1: It also seems this has messed up another theme; Dreadnaught. No idea how or why.

Edit 2: Reinstalled Dreadnaught, seemed to fix it.

Edit 3: Had to comment out the Slider template to fix this.

So far I think I'm the only one on our board that uses it. I don't mind a reinstall, @All Astronauts
