  1. KS 10 released: NEW! Option for a more compact star rating display and yes, you can still change the rating on the fly (if allowed) and the text will update. NEW! Move the follow button to where the other buttons are in topic and forum views. Support for other IPS apps too! NEW! Format the follow button to match the size and style of the standard IPS buttons! NEW! Customize the error page with your choice of Font Awesome icon or swap it out for an image (animated if you like.) Many formatting options for the text displayed too. NEW! On topic view, add a time since last reply blurb that uses conversational language. Support for a number of non-English langauges available (ask in support topic). Star rating and follow can be found under the Global tab. Error page gets its very own tab. Last reply blurb is under the Forums and Topics tab. To the guy looking for topics with hidden responses, sorry, it didn't make the cut for this release. Also, for KS I'll just allow you to flag a forum where *ALL* the topics will have hidden responses. To have this feature available on a topic-to-topic basis I have to hit the database and I don't think I want to do that with this mod which at the moment has zero database involvement so I'll try to release a separate mod with that feature later on. Note on the follow button moving. For downloads and gallery, category views (or whatever they are called per app), the row of buttons where you would like to move the follow button to does not get built out unless the user has the ability to add a file or image. The rub is that the entire IPS template is constructed so that I can't get a hook into it to move the follow button. So for those apps you'll have to live with it until IPS fixes the templates (already asked) or I get really really bored for something to do and write a ridiculous chunk of jQuery to maybe possibly do it that way. FYI I think I have another leaner new follow button style inbound as well but the one provided should be fine for now. Oh, and if you elect to move the follow button but not change the style be aware that since the defualt follow button is not as tall as the regular IPS buttons it's gonna look a little strange alongside those other buttons. You may want to throw some css in your custom file to fix that however you feel like fixing it... And lastly, KS is getting so big I wonder if I'm under-pricing it. Max I'd bump it to is $15 and the renews are never going up (period). If I do bump it I'll give myself some wiggle room for future holiday sales and what not. Fair warning to those window shopping (not that a whole $5 is gonna make that much difference...). I might, I might not, eh... This is it short term for KS as far as new features go (pending that hidden response thing above probably) as I have to start finishing up the other five-or-so mods that are sitting here at 85% done. Here - have some screenshots of the new stuff: PS: Yes, the conversational style time formatting could be applied elsewhere in the suite and it is on the KS to-do list but the underlying jQuery has to get a pull request approved first to allow for turning on/off the initial prefix/suffix words otherwise it would say "last reply" everywhere which really looks silly when you see that spammed down the length of a column. PPS: I think I have a cleaner, more ambient, follow button format inbound as well if you don't like the new full box style. Here: I like that better. I'll either swap it out for what is there now or make this another option.
  2. I should really just delete that other version already...
  3. Worked with @ehren. tonight to track down some ipsfocus themes vs. KS problems. Short version: KS works fine with ipsfocus themes. There are occasionally some theme blips that pop up - if you run with ipsfocus stuff and have a problem just yell, the fix is almost certainly a tiny bit of css code in your custom.css to fix the problem (duplicate avatar in userbar is the one I encountered). Granted, as with any theme, once core elements have been moved or duplicated, plugins may no longer be able to hook in correctly to do what they need to do so you will need to expect some loss of functionality the more the theme has been altered away from the IPS default. However, as is the case with all IPS 4x stuff, you MUST keep your themes up to date. If you somehow are running 7 or 8 or more point versions behind since you updated your theme and your theme provider has provided updated themes - what's your excuse? The problem site this evening was running a number of ipsfocus themes, two of which crashed when KS was active in the plugin list. With KS disabled those two themes resumed working. How and why? No idea. Hell, I have no idea how they functioned at all those themes hadn't been updated in months which is an eternity in IPS time. More power to you if those out-of-date themes still function on the latest versions of IPS but once you start adding on plugins on top of those ancient themes who knows when something is going to tip the theme system over the edge and crash out. KS 10 soonish.
  4. After jumping in to DangerDick's site a moment ago I realised I didn't alter the plugin description to alert people to this. So, FYI for everyone, be sure after installation, on the list of plugins in the acp, grab KS and drag it all the way to the top. The order of plugins does matter - it is the order in which they are built out, and KS does a lot of things. If you have KS on the bottom it may or may not break something enough to bork the site, not through any fault of it's own, but becasue a plugin above it is expecting x, y, or z and now it is not there, so the theme/site throws an error. The other reason is that KS may just over-write any changes a plugin above it has made, making it appear that that plugin doesn't work at all.
  5. Reports back to me (plus one instance of me jumping in and doing the install myself) and both the languge file import bug and the url-too-long bug seem to be stomped out.
  6. Add to your custom.css a#elCreateNew i.fa { font-size: 40px; } Change size as needed. That targets only the create menu font awesome icon. I'm pretty sure IPS doesn't support the fa-5x class calls so that's why it didn't work. Since I'm here just FYI all I'm wrapping up KS 10 right now (three new things, maybe more) - give it a day or two or more though. Depends on how much I want to push in and how far I take it. Also please do let me know if those installation problems are now being resolved with 4.1.14 officially out.
  7. It does disable correctly but if due to the IPS install bugs it did not install correctly in the first place there will be problems. PM me ACP access and I can take a look.
  8. Betting you have more than one language pack installed and it got through some of the install but not all of it. PM me ACP and let me look.
  9. KS is a super-large plugin. There are two installation problems that can occur (that we know of) due to a combination of IPS flaws and server configuration. 1) If you have more than one language file installed, the plugin will stall out during installation. 2) If you have Suhosin installed in your PHP and url_value_size_length (or whatever) is set at the default 512 the plugin will either stall or loop over and over again. Both of these are marked as fixed for 4.1.14 which is apparently being released on Tuesday. If neither of them apply to you PM me ACP access and I'll gladly pop in and take a look.
  10. PM me ACP access and I can look right now
  11. KS 9 released: Fixes rare problem with Edit First Posts enabled. Also fixes a somewhat rare condition where the post options dropdown menu choice appears but there are no options available. Also moved that hook point mentioned in the previous post.
  12. Just tested KS on the 4.1.14 Beta 1 release. Everything works (including first post edit) but for one thing. Moving the default feed and mark site read links to the usermenu dropdown is broken. I'll look at getting that patched for the 4.1.14 official release but otherwise it's business as usual with 4.1.14 EDIT: Actually, not really broken at all. I insert those elements after the My Attachments link. That only displays if you have 1 or more attachments and since I just fired up this beta installation my user didn't have one of those. Still, will change the hook point to fix this as there are certainly going to be many users who never add an image or something to a post and those links will never display until they do so.
  13. KS 8 released: Just fixes the missing messenger date-time line when you have KS show only post date option enabled.
  14. Didn't think it was that much of a show stopper. No matter, I'll push a new version out in a couple of hours.
  15. Nevermind, I got it. Next KS release this will be fixed.
  16. PM me access and I can take a look. Do you by chance have more than one language pack installed? EDIT: Is this in the messenger? Wonder why my bit is getting used there with messenger_ appended to it.
  17. @Vanucci Forgot I did some testing for you last night so signed back in. Moving KS to the top seems to fix it, or at least makes the link appear. I didn't want to actually promote a post to article to test; I'll leave that for you to try. However, I do have more information for you on your slow site problem. It's fine for regular users, really, but if you are an admin the front (main site) is really sluggish. So whatever you have on the front end that is affecting what admins do/see; I'd start there. BTW, left KS at the top of the plugin list but did disable it once again. Just turn it back on when you are ready.
  18. I'd have to take a look in your ACP to see how it conflicts. Try this first. In the list of plugins, drag Kitchen Sink to the very top of the list. The order of the plugins *does* matter and this might just be that Promote to Article can't hook in where it needs to if KS is at the bottom (effectively over-writing the Promote to Article hook stuff).
  19. A couple of weekend notes: 1) If you have more than one language installed you might not be able to install KS. That appears to be the cause of the installation problems that have been reported to me. I could create a parallel KS with a ton fewer language bits and you would be able to install it but the cost would be staring at variable names in the plugin settings instead of words. Bug report filed with IPS as this is a problem with the plugin installation routine. 2) Got a request to set the edit first posts to just the post content and not the title as well, Doable, but give me awhile to get around to it. Yes, toggle choice between the two so you can keep allowing users to edit titles too, 3) The new posts separator. Make sure you give it some time when testing this, or get used to swapping between user accounts when you do, All KS does is grab the the line that is displayed and swaps it for a div. I don't touch any code at all that triggers the appearance of the new posts sep line. If you are testing this while changing the setting you need to make sure you always move out of the topic on the front end and into forum or home view *before* changing accounts. That is, if I make a post in a topic, then sign out, and back in again under a different user, if I never left the topic in the first place the new sep line will not show. You need to make a post, move somewhere else in the suite (back out to forum view or home), then sign out, back in under a different account, and then go to where that new post was made. You'll see the new sep line then.
  20. MichaelR never responded to my request for access so I've never been able to help with the usermenu bits (it has to be ipsfocus theme related though and probably an easy fix) As for install on the live server I'd love to take a look. Both dev install and live please, There are a handful of people who have problems installing this when it comes to the language file but i still haven't got traction from IPS on getting this solved (long story short the plugin installation routine is apparently less robust than the application installer routine and on certain servers or ??? large language files in plugins break the installer - but since it is "plugin related" getting someone to look at this is nearly impossible)
  21. Pm me ACP access to your site and I can take a look in the morning. Confirmed working on 4.1.13.2 just now on my dev install.
  22. I really hope pages db fields other than title and content are included as well in the overhaul...
  23. KS 7 released: By all that is holy, no mas editar primeros puestos bichos. Super awesome robust now. Also $this. Thanks @Bill Edwards
  24. KS 6 released: Fixes broken report links when viewing reports (Mod CP or directly linked)
