I would highly discourage using your web server as the final MTA.

Why?

Why? 🙂

If the table core_applications has been added in 3.X first, then:

• Upgrade routine from 2.X to 3.X will create it. The upgrade assumes you upgrade from 2.X.
• Upgrade routine to 4.X assumes the table is already there and you upgrade from 3.X

Just thoughts. I have no idea in what version the table has been added.

I would upgrade to 3.x first, then to 4.X. 😉

Please add a possibility to exclude some databases from search engine indexing. There should be a possibility to add

<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

to all database records in one database at once (probable via page database), and to exclude certain databases from the sitemap.

Examples:

1. Databases with thin content, like database relationship records created only to group the main records.
2. Databases with quotes, citation, news snippets - not unique content.
3. Databases created from forum topics, blogs etc. - duplicate content.

Thin, not unique and duplicate content is terrible for SEO. It would be perfect if we could control, what databases should be indexed and what not. 

Thanks!

Surprised this hasn’t been addressed really, just curious as to how others are doing this are successful platforms using a forwarding service ?

I use own server. 

• E-Mails are sent via SMTP.
• I have SFP, DKIM and DMARC.
• abuse@mydomain.com and postmaster@mydomain.com are set as alias

Have you checked if your domain or IP is blacklisted? E. g. here https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

Do those apps have their online system? A.f.a.i.k. they do not.

There is no online system per app. There is a list of online users https://invisioncommunity.com/online/ You wrote "fake members will appear to read random topics". If Forums is not installed, there cannot be any random topics. I assume that your app assumes Forum exists and enabled. You can add a check: 

if (!array_key_exists('forums', \IPS\Application::applications() or !\IPS\Application::applications()['forums']->enabled)) {
            \\ do not pick anything to read or check other apps to pick random items (like articles or products)
        }

Damn, you got us. We werent supposed to add such fantastic performance improvements 😉  😄 

Just to inform you: demo for SuperReviews (Mode 2) is broken https://www.opentype.space/mode2/ 

I have a German project. The date is shown like:

September 20, 2021

It should be:

20. September, 2021

Where can I change this? I have Plesk with Debian (both latest). The Locale for language in ACP is correct.

This is not crucial, but I do not like this. Can I change it somewhere? Is it OS, Plesk or PHP setting?

Could you give me the link to your stream? I can take a look and see whats happening for you

https://invisioncommunity.com/discover/1007/

I have created activity stream to see if there are new or updated guides. My settings are:

The sorting of the activity stream is weird:

What is wrong with activity stream or with my stream configuration?

Please consider to add stock photos to upload field. I have Pixabay enabled. How it looks like for the page record:

How it looks like in your plugin

Thank you!

There's a lot more going on behind the scenes than you may think. 🙂

This was not meant negative. Just an example how urgent help topic can look like.

Me, personally, I hate ticket support in most cases 😄 I like community support:

1. Searching before ticket can give a fix within minutes. Writing down and waiting for support can take hours.
2. See if the issue is a known bug. When a support thread becomes hot or there are many similar threads, I can see that the issue is a bug and just wait for solution instead of ... you know, writing down 😄
3. Get several ideas, brainstorming. While waiting for solution, I get answers from community, that probably do not contain a solution, but kepp me busy (I hate waiting). 
4. Just browsing through threads a while. It's a kind of permanent knowledge update for me. 

1 and 2 save IPS support time that is (hopefully!) invested into developing new features 😉

Even if I can understand the reasons, why others would like ticket support, I am happier with community support.

Can you walk us through a support scenario where a customer without priority support has a downed site as a result of an IPS upgrade or some other unexpected IPS behavior with corresponding error message

I do not have a scenario, but there have been a thread recently with urgent help needed 

Hi, there is a small issue with the block. If user belongs to the user group that is forced to log in anonymously, then he is logged not anonymously via your plugin. It would be perfect if the app could consider the settings of the user group. Thanks!

Is the bug still on the roadmap? 

Hi, I do not see a way to copy/create an alternative database template for Category Articles.

My database has no categories and is set to Show records like articles. When I create a new database template, what this should be based to start with default Category Articles?

Sorry, but "support" from the community on forums is inherent in free software. When a client pays money, he wants to have a private communication with the support (there can be many reasons for this).

To be fair, consider support communities for paid software:

• https://talk.plesk.com/
• https://community.kaspersky.com/ 
• https://communities.sas.com/
• https://community.adobe.com/

Searching for already fixed issues can save time.

Would previously purchased Marketplace items still function as they did previously, just without future updates?  And I would like to add that I would lose IPS spam fighting tools as well if I fail to renew. 

Yes, all Marketplace add-ons will continue to work. It is just like frozen development, no new feature, no bug fixes. But it works.

I do not rely on IPS spam fighting. I use CleanTalk that works whether your license is active or not. It is free for the first 7 (?) days. The prices are democratic, worth to try.

And to add to this, the payment will be processed on Sep 23rd or 24th based on previous renewals. So actually, I have LESS THAN 9 days notice to prepare for a payment that is more than twice my anticipated renewal costs.  100% unacceptable!

You do not need to pay. You can just not renew. As long, as you like. You will not get any update, you will not get IPS support und you will not be able to use Marketplace. But your site would be still online. It does not depend on renewal.

There are still "online visitors" instead of "page impressions" in the Frequently Asked Questions section https://invisioncommunity.com/buy 

I hoped there would be better condition for niche communities and/or multiple licenses holders. E.g. self-hosted licenses entirely without support. Or affordable monthly cloud price. 

1. Import, export database including records, categories, page, CSS and JS, blocks and so on.
2. Include CSS/JS templates and database page into application like HTML templates.
3. Field Button with custom PHP actions on pre-save, post-save or display (alternatively bind fields to hooks)
4. IPS classes from CSS framework in CKEditor, like warnings, section header, blocks, any kind of typography.
5. Custom areas in template where the fields are placed (above or below the content is not enough). 
6. More control for the forms, like selecting tabs, adding AJAX, toggle on/off, generally all options we have in Field class.
7. Field keys and record data available in the form - this is really essential
8. Include custom CKEditor plugins into applications. 
9. Rework filter block to use and/or logic, filtering by Address field
10. Language (my personal pain). Just 5 options in language tab are not enough for the most languages out there.

@Sonya*will you update it for IPS 4.6.4? I am going to purchase it, but it is unavailable on IPS 4.6

I did, but update was rejected because of one language string not implemented properly. 😐  I will resolve the issue and hope it will be approved soon.
