    Sonya* reacted to byMarcoX in Why do some dates disappear?   
    Indeed you are right, in English it works well!
    But, then where can the bad translation come from and why just on certain dates and not all dates?
    If you can give me the translation which can be buggy, because if I have to go through 700 pages of 50 lines, I'm 150 years old 🙂
    Thanks

    Can i suggest to add (in the future) Packages which will include not «days» but the "amount of ads"? 
    It’s ok when user want to sell a few items from his stash - it’s free for them.
    But we see that shops owners start to place their product – it can be tens of adverts. So - they gain their profit, and site owner - don’t. 
    So it will be great if we can set Packages in this way (or smh like this):
    1-5 adverts per month - free 6-20 adverts per month - 10$ ... Unlimited – 50$

    Sonya* got a reaction from Josiah Wallingford in Pages: How to use anchors in editor?   
    @newbie LAC, thanks! This helped to figured out that anchor has been broken due to 3rd party plugin No External Links.
    @shahed, thank you! But my editors will not use wiki markup. It is just too complicated to learn it 
    My walk-around to avoid editing HTML: I have created a custom button for the anchor in the editor.

    This button is now available in Pages to set the target of the anchor. When adding link, the editors now just add # with anchor ID. This works.

    In the last few months I've noticed a sharp uptick in my spam reports from Comcast and other large email providers. When I view the spam reports, 90%+ of them contain this auto-response:
    The number of these reports has been steadily increasing over time, so the risk is that my site/domain/server will be blocked from sending email to many large providers like Comcast.
    What is clearly happening here is that bots are trying to post, and are inserting either random email addresses from a spam list, or simply generating fake email addresses. 
    They are being reported as spam by those who receive them because they are spam...these emails were not generated by the users who are reporting them as spam, they are created by bots who are simply using their emails in an automated attempt to spam using my forum.
    Due to this I've turned off the Post Before Registering feature in the admin CP, and recommend that everyone else do the same, unless they want to be blocked from sending email to large email providers.

    Sonya* got a reaction from Nihonto in Size of image adverts?   
    Hi,
    you can see the most common banner sizes e. g. here https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7031480 I would recommend to use common sizes as the most companies/advertisers would have those formats. 
    While uploading you image ads you can check Upload smaller versions? in AdminCP.

    The first link gives you also the hint what sizes should be used on what devices. As an idea, you can use two versions: 300x200 on mobile and 300x600 on the desktop and tablets. I usually do not differ between desktop and tablets.
    The images are resized automatically in IPS, though I would not want to resize automatically an ad format 970x90. It would be extreme small without proper mobile version if resized. In this case I would use 970x90 on desktop, 728x90 on tablets and 300x100 on mobile. 
    There is no tutorial on what banner sizes would be better. It depends on the banner content and location on the page, so that you have to figure out yourself what banner in what size placed in special ad location looks good/bad on different devices.

    Sonya* reacted to opentype in Commerce: deactivate product copies   
    When I add similar products I use the useful “Copy” function in the ACP. Problem is, that the new product with the name “[product name] copy” instantly becomes available in the shop, even though I haven’t actually configured it yet. 
    I suggest that the copy function creates each copy with the default status “deactivated” instead of taking over the status from the copied product.

    Sonya* reacted to ibaker in Localhost Downloading of marketplace apps/plugins (manually)   
    I presume like many many others, I have a test/development copy installed on my local PC using xampp. Here I do all my testing and development of any changes to suit my live site first. I have this development/test environment for unit, system etc testing, I have a pre-production test environment on my live dedicated server for integration etc testing and then I have my live production environment. Nothing, I mean NO ADDONS, NO TEMPLATE CHANGES etc gets to a pre-prod environment until it is completely tested on my local PC first...this is the way I am sure even IPS do it. So why in hell can't I download and test addons etc in my development/test environment on my local PC...why has IPS stopped this with v4.5 especially when everyone is developing and testing v4.5:

    It seems like as IPS progresses further it becomes even more frustrating to use...it seems along with other licensing things IPS is trying their hardest to drive people away from IPS and straight over to Xenforo who make it easy to create what you need and manage your installs.

    Sonya* reacted to CoffeeCake in Localhost Downloading of marketplace apps/plugins (manually)   
    Absolutely a necessity to support multiple localhost development environments and to support the download of application/plugins directly from the IPS marketplace as existed in 4.4 and earlier. The inability to download files directly from the marketplace limits severely limits those that have installations that are not accessible from the outside internet, whether that be an internal corporate install or various development / virtualized environments.
    It also prevents administrators and security folks from being able to audit applications and plugins prior to installation in any environment. At present, one must install an application/plugin prior to being able to review. In the past, we've purchased plugins/applications that upon inspection of the downloaded file, we found that there were breaking changes that did not follow IPS development guidelines and that would have resulted in a degradation of service in our production environment. Without inspecting those files in advance, we would have not been able to identify these issues.

    Sonya* reacted to Numbered in My list of wanted cms/pages app improvements   
    Features that I missed in current IPS:
    we can't export/import blocks from one site to another one (we doing all changes on the staging server before deploying them to the production one) block contains media with their id's. So when we upload the same media files they have different id's. It will fix if the media supports folder and filenames instead of id. We can upload a lot of media files to different websites and copy-paste pages/blocks code contains the media. It might look like {media="some/folder/file_name.jpg"} if we have a lot of pages and switches from one 'main' page to another one we couldn't find on the next time which page is actual default right now. we should click on the arrow of every page to see if the star icon filled or empty. templates (page templates, css, js) - you couldn't understand where the current css file used now. You can only jump into the edition of each page and remember that. It's not useful. cms don't support languages at all. So in every block, we used code  {{$lang = \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->short;}} {{if mb_strpos($lang, 'de_DE') === 0}} some html {{elseif mb_strpos($lang, 'fr_FR') === 0}} some FR html ... additional 10+ languages {{else}} EN content {{endif}} Or you can define variable inside conditions and call them. This is very dumb way to support multilanguage in 'cms'. And, no cache available for all language based blocks at all.
    block editing in ACP is unuseful. we have very little space for the editor (HTML). No 'revert' option (if save will support ajax we'll have a browser default Ctrl+Z option, but.. we haven't it with reload) same as for templates - when we editing block we couldn't understand on which page it used now You couldn't link the block content with template CSS and JS. Mostly it might be the default way to linking (blocks should be self-dependent). Right now it doesn't (in case of css and js). I hope this list helps the devs to understand the daily pains of our content managers.
    Thank you

    These are folders where attachments are saved. You should never delete, move or rename them. If you do all you attachments become broken. Also uploads in Pages are saved there.

    Is there an out-of-the-box way to prevent users from reporting posts without entering any text?
    It is really annoying analyzing reports where users don't explain what is wrong with the post.

    Sonya* reacted to Jordan Miller in Just tried the mobile app... Yikes.   
    My initial thoughts are that if you build a great product, it will become profitable. 
    If your site includes content outside of IPB, like Wordpress, then yes that will be an issue. I used to use Wordpress and IPB and made the decision in February to be fully IPB and it was the best decision I've made for my site (maybe ever). Simplifying is important.
    Custom features and skins... I love my theme, but I also love the simplicity of an app. If there were a few color schemes for sites to choose from that could suffice in the beginning.
    Additional costs to maintain an app... if it's packaged in with IPB then I imagine it wouldn't be too costly as it would be the service they are providing a for an annual fee (perhaps).
    Decreased monetization... apps can implement advertising. I was thinking of giving my paying subscribers access to the app, so it would be monetized that way for me.
    SEO... yea, that's a good point. However, the app would be in addition to your live site just like how this community currently is. 🙂
