  1. Is it just me or any one else that uses Grammarly not able to use it with the CKEditor here or on your own sites?
  2. In my development with clients (database development - totally different then here ) we have a concept of a Development server and Production server, and we also have a Staging server. With feature requests and bug fixes I work on the Dev server it may have a sample set of data contains all the new schema and logic. Then I can migrate a clone of the Dev version merge it with data from live in to the staging and then have client test, once approved I can move Logic and Schema from the Development to the Production server preserving production data. So for the past many release cycles things have been pretty solid yet the latest beta and release had some hiccups based on the postings at the time. I post this in suggestions as I wonder what is "DATA" in our database. There is Structure that we as admins have defined and modified as how our site looks and behaves, we have Content which is uploaded content and data from users. And we have Schema that is part of the core operations. Would sites be more performant if there were separate databases, for various bits of the site? (it's a different database realm so I am not certain here) Would backups be more efficient? Test / Production I would love to see at least Test / Production process on IPS if you announce a new beta or version we could snapshot our current live site over to Test run the updater on Test and if things go belly up it doesn't affect Production. Once we iron out all the kinks or wait for more stability or consume copious amounts coffee, we're confident things are working, we migrate Production site. The other thing here is we may wish to push out many changes at once vs as you get to them by navigating the ACP. Examples: Create new category or forums move things around add new plugins / applications configure new products configure new payment processors probably more but but you get the idea If there were a way to batch all these changes in to a post update process once complete the live site re-opens. I only have a small glimpse of how this all works I imagine its like swan on a lake its all pretty above the water line but so pretty below. 🦢 😄 Food for thought and welcome discussions.
  3. I think the process is a bit putting cart before the horse. I would love to see the process workflow better: user purchases Advertisement spot and terms and conditions. makes payment takes them to a page for them to provide content (artwork / url) doesn't require them to have assets prior to purchase. admin approves advert go live date renewal starts Also when user wishes to modify url or assets they should be able to manage this during active campaign. When they submit replacement the system should pause while pending admin approval.

    oh I know but you still have to manually select the text to read - some devices are easier then others.

    Reading Time

    for long articles I wish there was an add-on for speed reading like this http://www.readsy.co Or even a button to read this article to me option that would select your content and use your computers text to speech.
  6. I was trying to promote the most current file added to the downloads area.
  7. It is totally broke if set it to DISABLE Twitter it fails to post to FB or Our Picks
  8. tired again - nada. said not to distribute to twitter as it already posted but it hadn't posted any where else and now can't edit the promotion.
  9. I promoted post never show up in Our Picts and got this warning. but it shows up on twitter but not Facebook or Our Picts
  10. I dislike how the version number is so prominent on the subject line for a download. My File 1.0.0 Can we reformat this? My File version 1.0.0
  11. when a topic is posted and referenced back back to the file in downloads it would be nice if edits on the download record would update the topic. you know typos etc.
  12. or if you have phpMyAdmin you could create a duplicate of your database I usually do so call it prefix_month so that I have a duplicate of my db I'll keep a few around then delete them later Remember the two most precious things are the database and the uploaded content.
  13. I had a few invoices expire for a client but the ad is still running. They had a few ads, I am not sure which one to disable. The invoice has no direct link to the actual AD asset. Is there a way to identify the ad or in the future add such related references from ad to invoice and from invoice to ad.
  14. scroll to the area of Recovery Mode you can add that to your constants.php
  15. Is there a way once the system deleted content that it will also slate for deletion attachments that have been orphaned?
