  1. Spacious ACP Nothing too out of the ordinary here. Clicking on the pencil icon for Spacious ACP in the themes list in the ACP will bring up the theme options. All the Spacious ACP options are under Spacious ACP of course. You can alter both the text color and background color for the header area and both primary and seconday ACP menus. There is a toggle to enable/disable the modern style widgets. That's the difference between the default style... And the new modern style (which removes the blocky header and shrinks the header text)... The modern style uses the Roboto font for the header text. Let me know if your language doesn't have supported character set in that font (it should for most though) and I can option it out later on. Other than that the changes are all under the hood. Tighter tab formatting. Row height and padding adjusted to be tighter getting you more information on the screen at a time. Some font formatting alterations (bold here and there), etc. You'll notice the blocky background color section headers have been removed in favor of just enlarging the section title text. It's a much better (and cleaner) look. What can't be demonstrated too well is the animation effect. When you flip between ACP areas, the main area. Two widgets have been altered directly in the Spacious ACP theme (and not as part of Spacious Widgets). Admins Online now has larger text and the actual admins avatar and the IPS News widget has much tighter row spacing so you can use that widget without it taking up a ton of dashboard realestate. Lastly, I've improved the message alerts and the update available messages. Regular updates have a green background. Security updates have a red background. If you skip a security update and the next update arrives as just a regular update the bar will display green, not red. To carry through the red background I would have to start tracking update types and that's a little beyond a simple theme. Click the bar! Yes, and a modal will popup displaying all that update information that blasted away any usefullness the dashboard would have until you made the message go away by updating. Older users of Spacious ACP will notice the old IPS link section is gone. Too many changes on the IPS side to support those hard links. Maybe I'll make an IPS support app that can bring that stuff back. Very low priority.
  2. Spacious ACP 4 Better visibility! More information! Totally Customizable! Now includes Spacious Widgets! Originally I wanted an ACP theme that would display more options/information on a smaller sized laptop screen (i.e. 1600x900) and provide some customization. I've now re-written Spacious to be a more well-rounded modern look rather than focusing almost exclusively on compact information display. The result is a customizeable ACP that still retains the denser information views of the older versions. Trust me, you want this. More compact primary and secondary menus to fit more more menu options on the screen at a time. Reduced icon sizes as well. Header, primary, and secondary menu background colors fully changeable. Header, primary, and secondary menu font colors fully changeable. Removes the section header background and enlarges the section title for a clean modern look. Margins reduced across the board, interior tab elements styled more compactly. Change the name of the ACP to whatever you want. Latest IPS news and Admins Online widgets have been altered for better display. Optional modern-style dashboard widget format. New look for ACP warnings and new version announcements are now a single alert bar you click to expand to a details modal. No more wall of text destroying the dashboard! Subtle animation effect when moving between ACP areas. Feels app-like! Other under-the-hood changes... New in Spacious ACP 4: Login page customization! Introducing Spacious Widgets! The Spacious ACP theme comes with bonus dashboard widgets to fill in the gaps left by the rather lackluster IPS dashboard widgets. Includes: System Overview: Realtime server load, IPS installation size, IPS database size, memory available (or free), storage space available, options for Community in the Cload customers, and more! Gallery Overview: Mostly a rework of the default Gallery widget but with better formatting and it now displays the four most popular images in the Gallery. Forum Statistics: The most glaring IPS ommission. You get not only the usual topic counts but 24 hour, 7day, and 28 day lookback totals. An 8 week compact bar graph to see how your community is trending. All that again for topic responses, totalled separately from topic first posts. Top three topic starters and responders with thier respective totals. Member Statistics: Member count of course but inludes the 24 hour, 7 days, and 28 days members active count. See how many members are actually using your forums on a regular basis! Also counts members that have not visited your forums in over 6 months. Members online, guests online, and new members over the last 7 days as well. System Errors: Lists last five system errors so you can actually see what problems are occuring under the hood. Direct links to error reports and system error page. SimilarWeb: A website ranking/tracking service. Two SW default widgets for tracking visitor types and relative rankings, embedded in a single IPS dashboard widget. The rankings widget can have two additional websites added for tracking alongside your own site. Alexa: Get your Alexa ranking (for whatever that's worth...) right in your dashboard. Both global and national. Updates on a 7 day basis and flags trending up or down from previous check. Future Widgets? Downloads, Blogs, and Commerce will probably have "something" done in the future but it will be awhile. As far as the next new widget goes it will be a Database Health widget. For a full rundown on all the widgets plus what's on tap for additional Spacious ACP and Spacious Widgets changes and addons please read the Support Topic. Installation: For Spacious ACP install the .xml file as a new theme under Customization in your ACP. Please remove any previous Spacious ACP theme you may have installed. This is a totally new re-write and you should NOT upgrade the old theme. Be sure to assign permissions for the theme to Admins only. As before, this is exclusively an ACP theme; not a front end theme. To change the Spacious ACP settings just edit the theme settings as you usually do. All the Spacious options are under the Spacious ACP tab within that area; you may edit the other options (default theme options) but they may or may not have any effect. For Spacious Widgets install the .tar file as a new Application. All configuration of Spacious Widgets can be found under it's own menu option which you will find under the Customization tab in the ACP. This is where you can configure the System Overview widget if you are a Community in the Cloud customer, change the SimilarWeb widget settings to add up to two additional websites to track alongside yours, and change the appearance of the ACPlogin page. To add the new widgets to your dashboard just click the add button on the dashboard, choose and then drag them where you want them to be. Be aware that both Forum and Member Statistics only support the large display widget area. All the others can be used in the large or small areas. Support: In the support topic. This initial release will have some quirks with responsive css on Phone view plus left-to-right language support is pretty much nil right now. Also language bits. I need to add more variables so you can at least translate some stuff in the widgets. Notes: Some of the new widgets give you a sampling of statistical information you probably want about your site and though you can request that I add some things of this nature to Spacious Widgets they will probably NOT be added as that will require storing substantial information in the database. That's well beyond the scope of an ACP theme and some addon widgets. Better off in a separate application where it can be done right. Keep in mind that in some server/hosting situations some data I try to read for the System Overview widget may not be accessible. Do not buy this if the Server Overview widget is the only thing you are interested in. No refunds will be approved due to some elements of that widget not working correctly on your site. Cost/Allowed Use: $10/$5 every six months. Basically $10 a year once you get going for a customizable ACP and a bunch of new dashboard widgets (with more on the way!). Feel free to skip a renew if you must but if you skip more than one renewal and try to renew more than a year later and I may just have you buy it outright again. Renewals keep us devs going! Licensed for your IPS site bound to your IPS account plus any/all dev boards (localhost or otherwise). Other sites should/need to get their own licensed copy of Spacious ACP.

  3. Note to remind me what is wanted. I've been distracted with Coffeescript and RocketChat Hubots lately. That and working on Spacious. Let's see how far I get tonight...
  4. Looks like something has changed with a recent version. At keast I think it did, 95% sure I wouldn't have missed this when I made this. Seems like it's hooked into a javascript controller now, which is adjusting the positioning on screen width. So, blah... gonna be a bit. EDIT: Nope, something else going on, still be a bit to fix...
  5. The next release will include a translatable field for the forum stats feature. When you turn on topic count as a forum stat, it returns the number of topics within a forum. The languge variable for that actually is a variable key itself. {!# [1:topic][?:topics]} That code says if the number 1 is passed to this langauge key, then display the word "topic". Any other number (0, 29, 456, whatever) then display the word "topics" If you have more than one language installed, without this translatable field you are stuck with those English words. Or, you could translate them in the langauge file but it would be the same for all of your installed languages. IPS includes a translatable form helper to tackle this problem. In the next version of KS you'll see this: If you have just a single language installed, just leave the toggle off and it will be business as usual. If English isn't your single installed language just go and edit the langauge key in the usual spot. I've left the regular language key in place. When you do toggle this on KS will use separate translatable language key/s instead. When you first enable this setting you must paste that language variable code into each of the language fields and then change the words topic and topics to what you need them to be in each respective language. And save of course. If you make a syntax error the word key will not work. The langauge key posted above and also right there in the description text in the plugin is correct. Just try again until you paste it in right.
  6. Anyone here on honest-to-god true shared hosting? Not a VPS, dedicated, or IPS CIC. I need a test site for something on the ACP side of things but it has to be shared hosting. Won't break anything with your site at all. If you feel like giving a hand, shoot me a pm with site address and acp credentials (username/pw) so I can install and check some stuff out. Thanks.
  7. @Tom Irons I patched him up. It's just the tip button display on the post. I have no idea why your selector isn't working with KS or if my thing is even the conflict. div[data-controller='core.front.core.comment'] > div.cPost_contentWrap.ipsPad > ul.ipsComment_controls.ipsClearfix[data-role='commentControls'] Should work. There are no conflcts with the selector on the page that I can see - everything is where it needs to be. No matter, I tweaked it, targeting just the comment controls and it works. No idea why it didn't work before but here we are. ul.ipsComment_controls.ipsClearfix[data-role='commentControls'] Maybe just a bad install or IPS wierdery. Might not be a bad idea to swap your selector out for the shorter version above to save any grief with other plugins doing things. EDIT: And don't forget to refresh/clear cache after installing and such.
  8. Looks like the number of topics displayed in forum view is finally getting an official setting for 4.1.16 so I'll be yanking this out proactively in the next update (which will be out before we get 4.1.16 officially) If you need this setting there is a free plugin in the Marketplace that can tackle this for you to hold you over.
  9. I need to clean up the css on those a bit more. Can you screenshot and paste in what it looks like?
  10. Hmmm, application you say. That might be it. PM me ACP access so I can take a quick look, I can probably fix this on my end and push a new version out.
  11. Go to the plugins page in the ACP. Drag KS all the way to the top of the list. Then try.
  12. Spotted a tiny bug on one of my dev sites. When an update warning is splashed across the top of the page and you have not enabled the pulsating icon feature for these update warnings, KS somehow spashes in an extra div which breaks a single bit of CSS. That, unfortunately, is the top of the page header background stuff (the blue bar across the top of the page on the defualt theme) For now, just turn on and leave on the pulsating upgrade announcements thing; I'll get this patched soon.
  13. I'll add the flag fix to my list. I'll have to think about the quote feature though. I actually recommend hiding that link altogether (does KS do that? Maybe I should do that if KS doesn't let you hide it already) IPS already has the highlight text to quote feature, which you can use repeatedly in the same post and in other posts (the jQuery just keeps grabbing highlighted text and sticking it into the new post editor). It is a FAR superior quote function that forces users to not spam entire posts over and over again. Only problem are mobile users that want to quote. Could always just show the quote button on phone view though.
  14. Using Haze as a test bed, and Tom tells me that all his themes are riff's on the same core theme so this should apply to all of them, here's what doesn't "worK" with KS: Unread Content and Mark Site Read links. In the default IPS theme they are in the breadcrumb. In these themes they've been moved. So the the toggle to turn them off won't work. You can add them to the user menu though (need to add a small css call to better format them there) and you can also just add css to display: none the links on the page itself if you do move them to the user menu. Might be "fixable" with some changes to KS. I'll look later. As exepcted, the follow button changes are a no go. They've been changed into a circle thing and moved. You can move the follow button to the comment control line where the other buttons live but all that does is add the follow template there, and since that is now a circle thing that is what appears there, and of course, KS can't remove the circle thing that already is there next to the title as it is no longer where it is exepcted to be to remove it. Create menu. All good except you need to add a line of css to change the icon size if you swap out the create menu line for an icon. That's it. The rest appears to be good to go. Here, userbar, no create menu at all (the pencil is for theme options), seps removed, user menu link just the user avatar. Might need a line of css to adjust the spacing on the right in this particular scenario. That's it though.
  15. @Tom Christian tossed Haze at me so I'll put it through a run through in a bit (just sparking up for the day myself now).
  16. You mean when rules are set as a link? If so, agree, that looks a little weak. I'll see what I can do though keep in mind I do have a full downloads/commerce/gallery KS thing cooking (allegedly...)
  17. When I update I'll use the above screen shots in the Marketplace.
  18. Next KS release I'll push out the better Follow button style. If fits in better with the standard IPS buttons.
  19. Can't have any discussion of this nature without Simple Points or Carwhile's Points Economy
  20. Let me poke Tom and see if I can get ahead of the game like I did with Ehren.
  21. Where does it say you? You pasted in an error. I listed the three conditions where I have seen it thrown. That's it.
  22. You weren't accused of piracy. You refuse me access to help diagnose the problem. It's working for everyone else.
  23. Without having any of this themes myself but looking over the demo's I'd say better than 70% would work. The follow button he's blown apart for all of his themes so that's probably not gonna work (he's doing a circle thing next to the topic title) He's also split apart the breadcrumb elements. I think the KS breadcrumb stuff itself would work but moving the mark site read and activity links on the right side might not as they are somewhere else now. And, I think a good chunk of the userbar stuff in KS should work even though that's been changed a bit. If his theme has toggles to restore to defualt this stuff then it should nearly all work. If you have one installed now give me ACP access pls and I can test.
  24. You are way way too nervous. The things I've seen and had access to already... No matter, the only times I've seen that error thrown when KS was enabled but the themes worked fine when it was disabled are when: 1) The theme is a poorly pirated dupe. 2) The theme is way way out of date. 3) If default theme, it's been changed either too much or sometimes very little but in a bad place. It's crashing trying to load up the global template.
  25. Can't do a thing unless you give me ACP. I'd need specific access to applications, plugins, and the entire Support area (which is usually just the one menu bit). Or, as a start, you can pm me a screen cap of your system.log (in the support area, lower right corner)
