Suggestion: is it possible that you hook into the profile as well? It would be nice if the icon would be shown on the profile page:

Thanks

It shows ok to me, installed directly from marketplace. 

I have made fresh install as well. 

Adding 'parse' => 'html' has solved the issue

$form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Radio( 'cui_icon', \IPS\customusericon\Member::loggedIn()->cui_icon ? \IPS\customusericon\Member::loggedIn()->cui_icon : 0, FALSE, array( 'options' => $icons, 'parse' => 'html' ) ) );

Can you please update the app? Thank you!

Any idea why user profile setting can look like this?

This is a product support board, not an emotional support board.  Enough with all the touchy feely emojis, gifs and any other means of expressing emotions, whether positive or negative.  All communications should be done in a completely neutral fashion.

I would miss something like this https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/459696-flag-ipsdbselect_sql_calc_found_rows-not-working/ if there would be complete neutral fashion. IPS could you please stay a bit ... unneutral? 🙂

After upgrade to 4.5 we have broken images that have been previously cached through image proxy feature. The source looks like this:

<a href="http://othersite.com/fotos/30d2eb4f33948317.html" rel="external nofollow noopener" target="_blank">

</a>

Does it work as desired? I have not seen any rebuilding task after upgrade. Should there be any? Any possibility to start it?

We have upgraded last night to 4.5 from 4.4. The big issue we have (default theme) is that there is no more possible to get into primary nav items, only secondary items are displayed. Example how it was on 4.4:

On the 4.5 we miss this primary item point:

The users ask how they can reach the primary menu item on mobile. No more possible?

an active license of what?

Just active license of IPS. If you are self-hosted and your IPS license expires, this mod will not work. 

And this one 

No spam via contact form since I have installed it.

@Daniel, how would you replace this in German? Dem Club beigetreten, in den Club eingeladen, im Club gepostet and so on... 😉

Just now, Daniel F said:

Have you tried creating a plugin to replace every langstring  containing clubs with e.g. guilds just before the strings are returned?

No. This was just an example for English usage. 🙂 For my case, I need something to upgrade my Russian and German projects more efficiently 😉

Just a note that this helps with fully English projects as well. We often use different phrases and words for built in features and use the translation/language tool to maintain this.

Yes, the best example are Clubs. Some communities keep Clubs, others want Groups, there are also Guilds or Teams. Changing those strings makes you actually non-upgradable. All new strings go to default language, and you have to update your custom language somehow manually.

I have some non-English projects, where I have made some changes to the language strings. These changes should be permanent. There is also a language pack in Marketplace. When I upgrade the project, I have to make many steps to keep my custom translations. This is how I do it:

1. Download the custom language as XML (Custom package)
2. Download Marketplace package as XML (Marketplace package)
3. Copy Marketplace package (Merged package)
4. Upload a new version (Custom package) on Merged package
5. Change the name of the package back to Merged
6. Set Merged package as Default
7. Disable other language packages

When I'd like to change some strings in my project, I have to go this way

1. Make changes in my Custom package
2. Download Custom package as XML
3. Upload a new version (Custom package) on Merged package
4. Change the name of the package back to Merged

When there is an upgrade for Marketplace package:

1. Upgrade Marketplace package
2. Download Marketplace package as XML (Marketplace package)
3. Upload a new version (Marketplace package) on Merged package
4. Upload a new version (Custom package) on Merged package
5. Change the name of the package back to Merged

This is quite time-consuming. I wish parent/child construction (like themes), where my custom changes just overload the Marketplace package. Additionally, a filter where I can see what translations differ from parent version. This would help to prevent all these steps above, keep my custom translations and still use Marketplace updates without loosing my custom changes.

You should use a background-repeat property. E. g.

body {
  background: url(https://...forumbackground.png);
  background-repeat: repeat;
}

Language strings are defined as key/value pairs. To add/edit a language string, just open the /applications/<your app>/dev/lang.php file and add/edit an array element.

I have custom upload (image) fields. I do not see any way to delete the older content (images) I've uploaded.

There is actually a bug in Pages that does not clean/delete uploaded record images and images uploaded via fields of type Upload. The images are indeed orphaned. I have reported the bug and this should be fixed in the next release.

Hi,

I have an old community here, grounded about 20 years ago. There are over 250 000 registered users over the time. The nature of the community is that the users are only active for some years and leave then. My issue now is that over the half of email addresses (estimated) are not valid anymore. I would like to "purge" the database setting users with invalid emails on validating to prevent sending emails to them. At the end of the day I need a "clean" database to send out newsletter to valid emails only. What is the best way to achieve it?

Right now I am using G Suite Business to send out and receive e-mails. I pay around 45 Euro monthly. This is my email stats from ACP:

Any advice of what is the best solution in this case? 

Thank you,
Sonya*

When you send a bulk email, what if you excluded the group of people who subscribed? So they don't get that particular email. 

This is about notifications. They all include ads if you set them once 😒

I'll have to create a new database each time since it needs to post to a different forum each time. 

No, you don't. You can overwrite the forum setting for each database category. Just edit a category and switch to Forum tab. This way you only need a new category and not the complete database.

Still, visible to 1 or 70 will generate duplicated content. 

When I hear "duplicate content" I always think about SEO 🙂 There is no duplicate content regarding SEO.

However, you are right, the user who created the article with future publish date will indeed see the article AND the post. To prevent this, a custom solution (like redirecting every article to its assigned post) will be required. In this case, they will not see anything else as the post itself.

Some of them are not at all technical. 

I can understand. This is indeed something that should be considered if you have non-technical users. Redirecting article to the assigned post can be solved within the article template, so that they will never see the original article after it is created.

A user needs to post an article using a future date, right? When it gets visible, it creates a topic in the selected forum. At this point you will have an article and a topic with same content. It will require a manual action from a moderator later: either to delete or move the article to a hidden area.

If the database (not forum) is only visible to the those 70 team members, then nobody else would be able to see the database. So, why should they delete or move something that is only visible to those who have created it? Or do you mean those 70 team members should not be able to see their articles afterwards? The posts visibility depends on the forum permission and not on database.

2 minutes ago, Antoinette Westberry said:

Regardless though, we really do need this as an actual function. We have nearly 70 team members that should be using this function and we simply cannot give them access to create pages

This is simple permission like creating new posts in forum, though. You can create a secondary group where all these 70 team members are. Give the ability to create articles within one database, not pages as single page. There is no really a great difference if you allow them creating scheduled posts in forum vs. allow them creating new entries in a database, where future publish date is enabled. The posts in forum are created automatically upon articles are created.

Duplicate content seems pretty weird. So members would post an article to get a topic and in the end would have an article and a topic? Then request to delete the article later? 🥴

There is no duplicate content if the database is only visible to the moderators, though.
