Hi @All Astronauts I've bought Kitchen Sink mainly to move the "Mark Site Link" to the user menu, and that's fine. Now, is there a way of achieving that without touching the streams I have in the breadcrumb?

You see, I had removed "Mark Site Read" completely already, and there I have 3 other streams instead. So basically is there a way to make your script do the work in the user menu but not interfering with the current links in the breadcrumb. I looked among the templates to see if there was one replacing the breadcrumb template but didn't find one.

Hi Adriano. I believe I'm experiencing a similar problem with the very latest version (not so with the one right before it). I'll PM you the log.

Cheers

Cool, thanks.

Okay, cheers.

Okay, even if the forum it's posting to is set to not increase the post count? It was different in the 3.4 version.

Sorry Adriano, and regarding my other question?

Then if I want to add the member name to the message, do I need to add an extra field? Or I'm not seeing any because it's just me testing it as an admin? In case I need to add a field, is there a way for the system to detect the member's name?

@PPlanet, this is not a content item. This is not supposed to increase content count. If it were, it would be solicit in the file description. It works like default CONTACT US form; it doesn’t increase content count 

But for some reason it does. I don't mean the person sending the message, but the user selected to post it to the particular forum. We have a member which is a bot for all that type of things and its post count is zero, yet two tests in two subforums (which are set not to increase) and its post count now is 2.

Hi Adriano,

I've just installed the app (and therefore I'm just getting familiar with it).

However, first thing I've noticed is that when you post to a forum, which is set not to increase post count, it does anyway.

I have 5 random ads to be shown after 2nd post. How do I ransomize them? 

I use a javascript for that:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--

//Javascript Created by Computerhope http://www.computerhope.com

//store the quotations in arrays

images = new Array(5);

images[0] = "<a href = 'https://www.example.com'><img src='https://www.example.com/banner1.jpg' alt='Alt Text'></a>";

images[1] = "<a href = 'https://www.example.com'><img src='https://www.example.com/banner2.jpg' alt='Alt Text'></a>";

images[2] = "<a href = 'https://www.example.com'><img src='https://www.example.com/banner3.jpg' alt='Alt Text'></a>";

images[3] = "<a href = 'https://www.example.com'><img src='https://www.example.com/banner4.jpg' alt='Alt Text'></a>";

images[4] = "<a href = 'https://www.example.com'><img src='https://www.example.com/banner5.jpg' alt='Alt Text'></a>";

  
index = Math.floor(Math.random() * images.length);

document.write(images[index]);

//done

// --></script>

You just create an ad using this code and change to suit you. Cheers

Ah great. Thank you, very happy to see it was just me overlooking.

Hello, I'd need a clarification about expired ads behaviour, and apologise if this has been already discussed.

When I first tested this app, my assumption was that expired ads were only seen by their owner (and Admin/Mods). Having logged in as another member, I now realise that everyone can see expired ads.

Is this the normal behaviour?

If it is, may I ask if there's a way to make them invisible for whoever is not the owner or admin/mod?

On my site only services are offered (not products) and, for whoever is searching, it won't make a difference if the ad is expired or not for as long as they can see it in full.

Okay, thanks. Look forward to it.

SuperGrid, like many block templates is checking the $orientation value. So if there is a problem, it probably has something to do with that. 

Cheers @opentype. I hope that @Fosters may suggest a tweak somewhere.

I wouldn't go as far as saying I have the same problem (apart from the tab simply called "forumblocks") but it looks like there's some incompatibility with my Supergrid blocks. It shows the records horizontally (and therefore all squeezed in the sidebar) instead of vertically as they normally would show when assigned to the sidebar from the front end.

Hi @Fosters, any suggestion what can be done about this. I'd be fantastic if it worked with the supergrid for pages block.

Ah great, no need to worry any longer past that stage.

You are right. Description will be removed during the upgrade.

applications/forums/setup/upg_40000/upgrade.php

        $description	= \IPS\Db::i()->checkForColumn( 'forums_topics', 'description' ) ? "DROP COLUMN description," : '';

 

While I see this thread up, I'd like to ask a question about what's quoted above. With every upgrade within the 4.x version series in my test installation, I've been commenting that line out before upgrading (I even need to trick the IPS upgrader lately because it detects a file has been changed, so I need to make the switch after step 1 of the upgrade).

Now, is doing this really needed once you have upgraded to 4.x? Or is it only needed when upgrading from 3.4.x to 4.x?

Great. I had not noticed that one. Thanks.

Hello, I've just noticed on mobile view that there are two links to Classifieds in the menu; one that corresponds to the navigation bar, and another (with submenus) that belongs to the user menu. While this works great on desktop view, is there a way to remove or hide one of them from the mobile menu? I understand this may relate to how IPS menus work in the first place, yet I doubt there's a switch I could enable or disable for that, and I'm just not good with CSS stuff, so any help will be appreciated. Cheers.

Thank you for doing this. Expending the plugin to be used with other user groups opens its possibilities a great deal; particularly when thinking of different membership levels.

I tested it (albeit very quickly) and it works really well.

PS, not to mention the possibility of excluding subforums. I wish IPS did exactly the same you did for the streams content.

Thumbs up. Working as expected. Thank you very much.

Pm sent.

Please do so if you can, because that's pretty much what I need.

Following from my questions in the other thread (enhanced adverts), is there a way of placing the ad before the first post?

Okay, great. Will get the app and probably then hit you with many questions.

Cheers

@newbie LAC Happy new year! I've been wondering if this app could help me implement something similar to this that I did on 3.4 (with one of Dawpi's apps that he hasn't updated to version 4)

Basically adding the advert above the first post of a thread in something that looks like a post container. Of course, I'm looking for something similar on 4.2, for desktop and mobile (actually I'm after more mobile than desktop, even if the picture here corresponds to a desktop view). The idea is for it to look as close as possible to the other posts, whether it's desktop or mobile. As you see there's something in the place of the user details (a site avatar, site name, and instead of the user's name a short phrase or description)

I'd also need to have the capacity of showing this on some subforums and not others. (Which I assume possible going by some previous posts here)

Is this something, that if I get the app, you could help me achieve here? or would be something more of a job commissioning nature? (that I'd be happy to do too). I simply don't know the level of difficulty so that's why I ask.
