I can try to get a video up later, but here's the general steps: 1. On the user menu drop down, select "My Security Credentials". 2. I selected "continue to security credentials". 3. Select Policies. Create new policy and name it what you like. Under the permissions, select ALL of the s3 permissions (s3 Full Access). 4. Go to groups, create a new one, attach the policy you created to a group. 5. Create a new user, place user into the group you created. 6. Once that user is created, select it and then select Security Credentials. Generate an access key. Done iirc.

Will do. Over the last 2 weeks since we switched to s3 and CloudFront, AWS is reporting a $0.10 charge. Heh.

Yeah, we moved everything but the Downloads files over to the s3. It's been fantastic so far.

Thanks, perfect! Yeah, I set up an s3 bucket and the CDN for it. Would you say this is good for images only, or for all storage settings?

Maybe I can help or maybe the mod authors can. Essentially I just have Rules which say "When member posts in X app, add new canonical URL of Y". Thats then forwarded on to the APA. But seriously if IPS fixes this, it wouldn't be needed.

Here's hoping this is fixed in 4.3...

I'm guessing CloudFlare is the recommended choice? Or are people starting to use Amazon's? Thanks Joel.

Hi all, We are a large image-sharing community and are looking into cheaper options for Storage. I've started to float the idea with the other administrators of storing images off-server and onto Amazon S3. Is this a good idea? And if so, what storage settings should be on the S3, and which should be server-side? Thanks, Nowe

It should update all associated furls, though you may want to check them.

The issue here is the top-level portion of this, the "topLevel": "forums", bit will always be included in any URL while inside of the Forums app. I do not believe this part can be changed while this current bug persists. Edit: On 2nd thought, this might be able to be done by using the "Rules" and "URL Paths" addons: You would probably be able to do this with these two applications. There is an APA-Lite, but that only supports up to 25 URLs IIRC.

Really? I was able to change all of my URLs using this trick.

Ok so I've found a way around this, but it's more for advanced users. @forumdev99, this should work for you: For FORUMS: Find the folder public_html/applications/forums/ Open up the furl.json in your chosen editor (I use Brackets). Inside this file, you should find the following code: /** * Friendly URL Structure * * For each value in the $furl array: * The key should be the "SEO Template" - an identifier which you'll use when displaying a URL. * The value should be an associative array with two or three elements: 'friendly' and 'real', and optionally 'verify': * 'friendly' * The friendly URL to use - encase variables in {curly braces} containing a symbol, followed by the name of the parameter that matches in the "real" URL * The symbol should be # for numbers or @ for strings * For example, if the "real" URL contains id=XXX, where XXX is a number, you should include {#id} somewhere in the friendly URL. * You can also use the tag {?} for the "SEO Title" (that is, any variables that shouldn't be part of the real URL, such as the name of the topipc being viewed). * If you want to support more than one SEO Title, you can give them zero-indexed keys like so: {?0} {?1} {?2} * 'real' * This should be the base of the real URL. You should not include parameters which will be parsed out from the friendly URL. * 'verify' * This should be the name of a class that contains a loadFromUrl() and an url() method. The dynamic URL (i.e. app=core&...) will be passed to loadFromUrl(), and the url() * method will subsequently be called to retrieve the correct URL, ideal with ActiveRecord pattern classes. * * IMPORTANT: Ensure values are listed with the most specific ones first. This is to ensure that non-FURL redirects are done correctly. For example, if you have these FURLs: * /index.php?app=myapp&module=mymodule&controller=mycontroller&do=myaction -> /myfolder/myaction * /index.php?app=myapp&module=mymodule&controller=mycontroller -> /myfolder * They must be provided in that order, otherwise the former will redirec to /myfolder/?do=myaction rather than /myfolder/myaction */ { "topLevel": "forums", "pages": { "forums_rss": { "friendly": "forum/{#id}-{?}.xml", "real": "app=forums&module=forums&controller=forums&rss=1" }, "forums_forum": { "friendly": "forum/{#id}-{?}", "real": "app=forums&module=forums&controller=forums", "verify": "\\IPS\\forums\\Forum" }, "topic_copy": { "friendly": "topic/{#id}-{?}/copy", "real": "app=cms&module=database&controller=topic" }, "forums_topic": { "friendly": "topic/{#id}-{?}", "real": "app=forums&module=forums&controller=topic", "verify": "\\IPS\\forums\\Topic" }, "forums": { "friendly": "", "real": "app=forums&module=forums&controller=index" }, "topic_create": { "friendly": "submit", "real": "app=forums&module=forums&controller=forums&do=createMenu" }, "topic_non_forum_add_button": { "friendly": "startTopic", "real": "app=forums&module=forums&controller=forums&do=add" } } } The things to change here would be the "friendly" parts. For instance, to change it from yoursite.com/forums/ to yoursite.com/forum/, replace "topLevel": "forum". This is in the same location for -all- installed applications. After reuploading the file to the same place, you will need to run "Something isn't working" in your "System -> Support" page. After that, you can edit or install language files to deal with the rest of it. Regards

Bumping, as this still isn't fixed.

Concurred. Any ideas on when this'll be fixed?

Shame. Will do.

Ah, cheers. I figured as much, as I had found that topic earlier. Here's hoping!

Sorry, another (probably not quick) question. Is there a way to rename the app from "Classifieds" to "Commissions" in the URL? We've managed everything else in the language file changes, I think. Editing the FURLs to /commissions/ just changes them to /classifieds/commissions. Thanks again Adriano!

Perfect, thanks!

Hi there, we just purchased this application for our suite. Is there a way to disable the member dropdowns? I think it's these two hooks: clUserBar.php \IPS\Theme\class_core_front_global clMobileNavigation.php \IPS\Theme\class_core_front_global Thanks!

That would be the general plan. I don't mind displaying less than 20 records per page in the forums. Though my thought was more for the Gallery.

Greetings @Ryan H., I am wondering if this system can allow users to White List or Black List certain tags from appearing as content for them? If so, that is amazing and I will be looking into getting this system for our site. If not, would it be possible to add? Many thanks.

I'd also support this. Would certainly be useful for repeat offenders. After more thinking actually, perhaps something such as this: Report From: User1 Report Against: User2/Post # This user has been reported X number of times. [Links here to the other reports] Issues/Report Here

Ah, that seems to have done it...Why I don't read the blogs is beyond me. Thanks all, Edward

Wondering why I'm set back to a member? I've got an active license for IP.Board, and was looking for support before I was going to send a ticket in, but now it appears (for the moment at least) that I will have to submit a ticket instead.

Much agreed.
