It is happening with all apps. We are discussing this with IPS. It's a change they made in 4.1.13. We say it's a bug. They don't.
We are waiting for an official reply. There's nothing to worry about. All apps works, your DB is safe, etc.

I will give you an advice that you REALLY should listen: before you buy something, MAKE A PRE-SALE QUESTION! Just because the old version of the plugin has a setting, it doesn't mean that I HAVE TO ADD this setting on new version.
So are you asking to remove the whole security thing from ACP and add a simple check by user group? So if anyone on your board enables it to Guests, it's fine to you?
Will other users that bought this agree with you? This is not a custom plugin made only to you.

@-FP
Is it possible to host javascrpt file on our servers, where we have the forum?

Hey can you add this guide into this please: http://reecea.github.io/ipb4-css-guide/ 

I know the saying - "when its ready" - anyway - could you give a closer estimate on the timeframe for the documentation? This month?
 
 

Any update / time frames?
This is a big plugin for me on my website and cannot upgrade to IPB 4 until this has been updated  
 
 
 

Hello, guys! Good news for @Charlie_IPB and others.
I've added support for French, Italian and Spanish. I hope letters from this post is correct for this languages.
But also I'll rewrite this plugin because now it support 11 languages and logic of my plugin is very bad. At this time you can't use more than one item in dropdown. And I'll organize plugin so you'll be able to use any languages in any priority you want.
Version 1.0.3 is now available here and here. Enjoy

Please, please, please, please re-add the ability to export templates without a database. Lack of premade MP templates for the articles database, including feed block templates, is directly related to Pages requiring we export the entire database, which makes absolutely no sense for the database that is preinstalled, and doesn't actually work for it, and that's not even considering the point that block templates cannot be exported via any means.
Those of us that can code cannot help those that cannot premade in this area with the way it is now. I cannot even do a custom locally with the way it is now, as there is no way to transfer such, which ends up with me working on a live site. Not cool. I was actually waiting for a topic such as this to be made. If somebody with a basic clue and can code like myself is struggling due to this, I can't imagine how painful this is for the layman, and the surprised look from staff was not expected... I put in a feedback topic a while ago begging for this to be restored, and have left it since then, but it is a very real need.

I just feel like every other IPB product works so freaking well, and they are all fairly easy to deal with both front & back end. Then you get to pages & it's a complete mess, it feels like having to code a whole website from scratch... Lets face it, you have to code the template you want, code how you want fields to display... You may as well code the whole thing.... Why need pages.
If Pages was made more like Wordpress, Joomla etc... It would make IPB perfect.
What annoys me more is that every question I ask in support about pages is replied with... This requires custom code so I can't assist. You will need to ask on the forums. I then come on the forums and I see tons of Pages threads with 0 replies, people asking for help yet no one can.
Please IPB, just look at pages & make it easier. We aren't all code genius's. Plus if it's so easy, why can't you provide some tutorials or walkthroughs? It can't be hard to provide some templates right, or do you guys struggle to use it too...
Every other thing you do is amazing. It's just when it comes to pages, no one cares that noobs are struggling. I know that we could use Joomla or Wordpress, but why when we have something created by you guys thats intregated with the forums.

I agree.  The casual hobbyist and enthusiast admin are highly limited with what's out of the box and there continues to be an expectations gap of what IPS markets Pages to be and what we can actually accomplish.  
 

That will be awesome.

Hi,
Before I complain, I want to start off with a nice note. Since joining IPB my users have loved the website, commented on how nice it works compared to VB & I have loved your support. When ever I have a bug or problem you guys usually reply pretty fast, sometimes during the night!
But here is where I am confused, angry & very, seriously sad.
I love IPB. I think it is one of the most solid products in the market, I think it is also the most professional both company wise (how you guys release things when it's ready & not before) and also product wise, it's very professional.
For over a year now, I have STRUGGLED to get to grips with pages. I look at the documentation & it's longer than the bible & not very user friendly at all!
For over a year now I have messaged support asking how to do things in pages & they say I have to come to the forums as it requires custom code! For simple things like adding the article image in the listing page!
For over a year now I have Tried pages, given up... Tried again, given up. There is so much potential in pages - I have seen it on professional website (websites with coders & budget!) but people like me CANT use it.
 
Why.... WHY can't IPB make pages easier. Why can't there be a wizard or Pre made templates!
Front page templates... Do you wanna display articles like a blog (photo to the side with description beside), or like a polariod (image with description below), or like a grid. 1 main article & then smaller articles below etc. Joomla asks you things like... Display title, date, time, author. Main article: 0-10, Secondary Articles 0-10. Its so easy!
Listing pages... Do you want to display the first image in the article, do you want to display article rating, do you want to display article sorting bar.
Article pages... Have a page builder, similar to what you do with blocks. Where you can create fields on a preview page & move them around/edit them. Currently if I want an image uploaded in an article and displayed to the right of the content, I have to custom format it, look up HTML guides on Google etc.
 
I just wish IPB could make pages & frontpage more like Joomla. Joomla frontpage is so easy. Then also keep the difficult custom options for people who are more pro & who know what they are doing.
I am so annoyed by the fact I can't easilly create a beautiful looking frontpage & article area, that I am considering going back to another software. Your forum software is so easy to use, but pages is rocket science.
 
Support won't help me, I have seen users here struggle to create things even when working together and helping eachother, and the only other option is to pay someone tons of money... Please consider making pages easier for noobs. PLEASE
Danny

Upgrade from IP. 3.4.x to IPS4.0
I am bringing this back again seeing there are still many that want to know how to upgrade.
This is an updated version from my original post where the upgrade is explained from start to finish.
So you think you are ready to take the plunge and try a test install / upgrade from your current IP Board to the current IPS4.0 beta and later to the final release. Well we will see.
{Comment} The following steps are with the assumption you have already created a test install of your current board and made all the preparations leaving your current live board intact.
If Not then see the following article. Creating a Duplicate Local Test board from you Live Board. at the bottom of this article.
Step One.

1st, Download and run Get Ready For IPS 4.0 1.0.3 to test your current install to see if it is in fact ready. you can get your copy here. http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/7046-get-ready-for-ips-40/
OK! all is green and good to go then skip the next step and continue on.
But you are showing errors that need to be fixed. OK it's not the end of the world so there is no need to find a cliff or skyscraper to jump from. Download and run IPS UTF8 Database Converter 1.1.13 you can get it here. http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/6823-ips-utf8-database-converter/
Run the converter and let it do its thing, it will take a while. When this is finished re run Get Ready For IPS 4.0 1.0.3 to make sure all previous errors are fixed. If so we can go forward if not now you can find that cliff or skyscraper. NO Just Kidding!!! But you may want contact support with any errors.

Step Two.

1st, Make a backup of your Database call it whatever you like as long as you know where to go if the need comes up.

2nd, Here is a trick I use on my local due to a few corrupt downloads that failed causing me to start a test installs from scratch.

1, Create a _347 folder in your root directory and move all your files into it. Another backup you say? Yep! To go along with the above database backup should something go south on you.

2, Providing you have IP.Downloads copy these files back to your Forum Root Directory from the _347folder.
Copy the following folders, downloads, public, screenshots and uploads along with your conf_global.php file. Otherwise only public, uploads and conf_ global.php will due.

3, Copy all the files from the IPS4.0 zip file you downloaded from your clients center to your new test install directory. From your browser go to your test install site http://example.com/admin/upgrade/ and begin the upgrade process.......... Go to Site!
If the upgrader asks for your license key, add it but remember to use -TESTINSTALL immediately after the license key. 1234567890-12345-123-12345-1234567890-TESTINSTALL
 
 Creating a Duplicate Local Test board from you Live Board.
Setting up a test board for upgrade is fairly easy but time consuming.
In this section of this Tutorial is a guide for those that have never attempted to create a backup test site of the original live site for upgrade compatibility or other testing purposes.
For those of you creating a local test server on your own computer using server software like Wamp, Xampp or Mamp. Follow these easy steps.
Make a duplicate copy of your forum site by downloading it via FTP Forum Root to a location on your PC. Now log into your cpanel, PhpMyAdmin and Export the compete associated database.
In this example we will be using the Wamp environment.
Copy your forum site files into your Wamp - www directory example (C:\wamp\www\test-forum) Go into Wamp via your browser PhpMyAdmin, create a new database and Import the newly saved database into it.
In your forum directory C:\wamp\www\test-forum find  your conf_global.php.
In your conf_global.php settings you need to change these settings.
$INFO['sql_database'] = 'original';   to
$INFO['sql_database'] = 'new_db_name';   and
$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://example.com/forum';   to
$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://example.com/test-forum';
And the same with the sql user if needed.
$INFO['sql_user']       = 'tester';
Now go to the ACP System Settings - General Configuration make all pertinent changes to Path to 'upload' directory and Upload URL. You can find the hint to these new URL's below the text boxes for example:  "IP.Board has detected your uploads path as: D:/wamp/www/test-forum/uploads"  and  IP.Board has detected your uploads url as:
These changes will also need to be made in IP.Blog Settings and IP.Gallery if you have them.
Go to System - Server Environment - Settings: Server Environment click on Update Settings. This will Sync your new server location settings in your new database.
Next go to Look & Feel - Disable or remove all 3rd party skins.
Go to Template Tools in the left side panel  check all boxes under - Rebuild Master Skin Data click the Rebuild button. When this is finished click Recache Skin Sets after. 
Go back to System and Cache Management. Click on Rebuild Global Chaches Cache, Rebuild FURL Cache and then Recache ALL. Though some will say this is not necessary but trust me on this. Your IPS 4 upgrade will love you for doing these.
Next back under System - Manage Applications & Modules - Disable all 3rd party Apps then click Recache Apps & Modules.
 Next step Manage Hooks - Disable all 3rd party hooks then click Reimport Application Hooks...
Now lastly before doing the actual upgrade go back to your testboard front end via your browser and test to see if all is working correctly. Making sure it is an exact mirror to your live board. 
***NOTE***
As you make these changes in the ACP and save each they are also saved in the new Database.
 
(After creating a 3.4.7 test install and all is working....)
​Create a _347 backup folder move all the existing files into it. Thus creating a complete backup of the board you are working with. Do the same with your database by backing it up to another name like "new347-backup". You can do this in PhpMyAdmin.
 If you have IP.Downloads, you will want to copy (duplicate) the following folders from your _347 backup directory you just made back to your forum root. downloads, public, screenshots, uploads and conf_global.php.
 If you do not have IP.Downloads than all you need to copy back to the root is your public and uploads folders with the conf_global.php.
 So if your new forum root directory for the test upgrade is named "my-testboard" or "my-testboard.com" the above files need to be copied there.
After this has been completed copy your latest IPS4 beta files you downloaded from the client center to the forum root "my-testboard" or "my-testboard.com" with the other files you just put  there. Start the upgrade if it asks for your license key, add it but remember to use -TESTINSTALL immediately after the license key. 1234567890-12345-123-12345-1234567890-TESTINSTALL.

Please, add WhatsApp as a Sharing option in site Promotion.
I have just taken a look at my website statistics right now and more than 50% of the visitors are accessing it by cell phones.
It's a must for great community promotion the option to share content by WhatsApp.
AddThis (http://www.addthis.com/blog/2014/08/13/new-services-added-including-whatsapp-sharing/#.VNqycMbZGC8) and AddToAny (https://www.addtoany.com/services/whatsapp_button) already offer WhatsApp sharing button.
There is a ready to use javascript that can be used by IPS 4: http://whatsapp-sharing.com

You can already give Adsense login credentials for your forum to account for forums that can't be accessed by a guest.

4.0 will also allow you to restrict where ads show, which can be used to disable ads in non-guest forums if you prefer.

I have just published 1.0.9 to fix the issue adding new markers.

I've just looked at your site in Firefox, it sits just as it should. The only thing that needs changing is the colour of a shadow (since you've got a dark skin)


Edit the mapGoogleJavascript template.

Find
map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter(), map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds));

replace map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds) with a number between 1 and 19 (Zoom levels between 0 (the lowest zoom level, in which the entire world can be seen on one map) to 19 (the highest zoom level, down to individual buildings) )
