Not yet. I am still somewhere in between Custom Links by @DawPi not reinventing the wheel and a plugin preventing linking itself.

I tend to write my plugin though.

Should it work in Pages as well? It seems not adding links to content field.

@Sonya* That's not what he wants as every user would have the same photo with those steps:

 

There were two different requirements. I have quoted the one, that he can achieve without any customization.

One question. Does Limit Link restrict the linking inside a page or a single content piece?

I mean, if I have a topic where a word is repeated again and again in every post, then it will be linked in every post. It would not link twice inside one post, but there would be 10 links on one page if the word is used in 10 posts on the topic. Right?

This is possible out of the box.

1. In your ACP go to the Themes and click on the Manage Resources in the line with the Theme.
2. Search for default_photo.png, edit and replace with whatever you like
3. Then go to Profiles in ACP and enable Use the theme's default profile photo

sounds like this 

I am going to release a new version this week.

Generally, you can create your own JS and CSS files and add them to your page instead of those delivered with the app. JS and CSS will be replaced silently during the upgrade, so you are going to lose all your custom changes if you have modified the original FXPages JS and CSS. 

I will look into it, however, generally I stick to the IPS framework and UI widgets to be sure it works on every theme out there. So I will not heavily modify the standard IPS functionality to avoid a lot of support.

@Stuart Silvester, what Open Search version do you use currently?

Hi again,

Unfortunately still having some issues. Local on nginx every page works without any additional settings. But on the new IIS server only the index works.. all the other pages return a 404. Are there any settings that must be set on IIS before these pages work?

 

thanks in advance!

Check your .htaccess for friendly URLs: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/promotion/seo-r295/#furls Upload it another time, sometimes it is broken after moving.

@MartinLawrence this sounds like something I have made recently.

I have created a custom database in Pages, where records are set to be future published. This database is visible for admin only, so no impact on content presented to your users. It is just a schedule.

Once the record is published (this is done automatically by IPS via cron), the method onPublish() is executed. You can hook into this method to add your tasks. 

The hook is executed only, when the records are published, once they are published, the hook is not triggered, so no need to lock something.

Probably it helps.

I would go with Google Ad Manager or Revive Ad Server. There are tons of other settings you may need if you would like to run sophisticated ad campaigns. IPS will never get all the features the dedicated ad servers offer.

Is there a recommended ad size in pixels for the options given in Advertisements:

Or is it best to ignore the ACP option, and just use Adsense to Turn on all Ads on the website?

If you mean, you let AdSense add ads dynamically, then no. I would not do it, as this way you fully lose control. You also would not be able to reproduce what happens on the user's side. Or what your guests see. It can break your layout without you knowing about it, causing high bounce rates and a bad user experience.

I can see ads on some of your pages

AdSense needs some time to index your pages for the ads. It needs to inspect the content to know what ad would suit best your audience inside your content. That's why you would see a lot of blanks at the very beginning.

Page impressions by IPS are just page views. This number does not tell IF the ad has been shown, it only shows how often the ad code has been called (loaded) by IPS. Even if the ad is outside of the viewport and could not be even seen, IPS will count a page impression for the ad. So, it is merely a page view rather than an ad impression.

The real number of ad impressions is in your AdSense stats.

There is a way to add your own FURLs via AdminCP

However, I am not sure, how and if it will work. There is a long-term bug persisting for years. I would still give it a try.

Thanks, I am not comfortable editing files on the server directly 😄

I thought there would be a possibility to configure Elasticsearch as a multi-node via environmental variables shown above 😉

Elasticsearch is already running on my server, but it is a single-node now and the name of a node is randomly generated. I've got the name from logs. I wish I could define different nodes, one node per project, and name them myself.

Open Search instead of Elastic Search

Why? Are there any advantages of using OpenSearch? 

Can somebody help me to understand how Elasticsearch should be configured on the Plesk Server with Docker extension?

The goal: using Elasticsearch for multiple IPS communities.

Questions:

1. In AdminCP, I have to configure Elasticsearch Index Name (It is important to use different index names if multiple Invision Community installations are using the same Elasticsearch instance). In Plesk I see this:

Where Elasticsearch Index Name is configured? Is it a container name, volume mapping or environment variable? 😵

2. Right now, Elasticsearch does not run. The error is:

at least one of [discovery.seed_hosts, discovery.seed_providers, cluster.initial_master_nodes] must be configured

What of these variable must be configured and what values should be used if multiple communities are supposed to use elasticsearch.

Thank you!

It would be nice to have the same functionality we already have for venues.

1. Select from an existing list
2. If not listed, display required fields for the record
3. Upon saving both records are saved.

So, many guests don't even bother and there's no way to remind someone who doesn't leave any information - so what's the point in the generated invoice?

This is not about guests, but about how IPS is designed.

See the page: _https://irosacea.org/subscriptions/ When you click on one of the Subscribe now buttons, you will be redirected to the Checkout page. The URL of the Checkout page contains the invoice number in its URL, e. g. _https://irosacea.org/checkout/XXX/ and this invoice (XXX) is already created before you even start to fill out the Checkout form.

So it is not that users submit invoices without filling in the information. They will not be able to proceed without filling out the information. This is the IPS that creates the invoice as soon the page is just shown to the user. It is just too early. 

If a user is just curious about what happens after clicking on Subscribe now, the invoice is already generated for being curious. Theoretically, the bots can generate invoices as well. Just by crawling all URLs on the site.

If this really bothers you, create a page in pages with whatever layout you want and make that section a link. 

It would be a nice solution. But it works only partially. A user without HTML and Pages templates knowledge, will not be able to create a page that looks nearly the same as the default. WYSIWYG blocks do not have a background. Long texts placed within a page without a background do not look right. Reported here

I'm trying to modify this using CSS, but it doesn't look like it is possible. Any ideas?

I do use ipsMenu UI widget for this 

I am afraid the behavior is hard-coded in IPS JavaScript. I will look into it next week, as I am not on my desktop now.
