    Ok. It was the session save path wrong location (null and /tmp) then the folder permission was wrong which in my case its the interworx user. So I made it past the error and the upgrade completed normally. 
  2. Thanks

    Mopar1973Man reacted to teraßyte in [BUG 4.7.0] Cannot setup extra fields in Downloads to be included in topics   
    When adding a new extra field in Downloads the option Include field in topics? is never saved correct. Enabling it will always show it as disabled when you go edit it again.
    The issue is caused by the code in \applications\downloads\sources\Field\Field.php on lines 152-157:
    if ( \IPS\Application::appIsEnabled( 'forums' ) AND isset( $values['cf_topic'] ) ) { /* Forcibly disable include in topic option if it is a paid field */ $values['topic'] = ( isset( $values['downloads_field_paid'] ) AND $values['downloads_field_paid'] ) ? $values['cf_topic'] : 0; unset( $values['cf_topic'] ); } The code checks if the paid field option is active and disables the include in topic option. The problem is that the code above does the opposite and always disables the include in topics option when the paid file is NOT required.
    I swapped the values to fix it:
    $values['topic'] = ( isset( $values['downloads_field_paid'] ) AND $values['downloads_field_paid'] ) ? 0 : $values['cf_topic'];  
    Another bug related to this setting is that when the topic is updated the pre-edit value is used. For the edited value to show up in the support topic you have to re-edit again the file and then it properly shows up in the topic content.

    At least on my server the uploads are scan by anti-virus software nightly for virus or malware. I'm not hosted on their cloud setup but on a VPS server I manage myself.

    Mopar1973Man got a reaction from Richard Arch in Commerce - Selling diesel parts and services   
    Ok I've done it in the past about 5 years ago but the IPS software has changed since I did it last. I was able to create a email I could send out to my vendor with the full invoice parts, part numbers, and quantities. Then my vendor will box it up and drop ship for me. My problem is I've lost my old template from way back when. Basically I want to take and use the product notification and send a email invoice to my vendor with the stuff the customer is wanting to buy. 
    So take this which does me zero good...

    Then email this which covers everything... I have the product listing that is readable, who order (Mopar1973Man.Com) and then who is this product sent to (Customer name and shipping address). Now my vendor bills my account and process my order to ship a injection pump out to X customer in Y state. I like the email notification method because my local products I sell don't require this so I leave the feild blank. But if the product comes from Utah Supplier I got to make sure to pass along the info... So email notification works good.

    My question is how to build this into the email so all the info is passed along to my vendor. Shipping address, product names, I can lose the price because my price will be different from public. I do need all shipping and customer information emailed for sure hard to ship a product without a address and customer name. This way the product is order from my vendor instantly and and mailed out to the customers with my business name on the package. 
    ANOTHER SUGGESTION --- Provide Fractional Quantity
    Being I do do Diesel Mechanic work I need to bill out in fractional amount a lot of times and it a big pain in the rear end to have to hand calculate everything for fractional amount. 2.4 hours at $85 and hour since the IPS can't process it I got to now hand math which is $204 for the 2.4 hours and the set it for 1 quantity. Instead of setting the price at $85 an hour and placing 2.4 in the quantity. This one is time waster being simple math of fractional quantity is a common feature to even Quickbooks.

    Like what I'm used to...
    BEFORE Payment - Purchase Order this where the customer wishes to purchase an item but not paid yet. 
    AFTER Payment - Invoice is generated because the customer has his/her goodies in shipping to them and been paid for.

    That's what I did for 5 years... Losing traffic and search rankings dropped. Now I'm focused on speed and meeting Google requirements and gain over 20,000 people per month and still growing. Traffic is improving and speed is getting slower because the server is getting busier. So what I did in the last 3 month netted me more than leaving it alone for 5 years and watched it fall apart. Better your speed ranking the better your ranking of SEO with Google.

    This is the preferred way since it allow for re-targeting as well as align with legal requirements that @opentype refer to. You also tie stock to purchase order to make soft reservations (usually with some rules, so you don't run out of this to sell based on soft reservations). Purchase Orders also often have a defined lifespan, so they are removed from the system after a certain time and so soft reservations are released even earlier.
    The advantage with this setup is also that you can work with FOMO to show live data on how people place things in their basket (which has a good impact on CRO).

    Still waiting for the Google to retest all this. I've managed to knock the LCP (Largest Colorful Paint) to just a mere 421 URL left. I'm in the process of backing up all the attachments and now going to recompress all my attachments and photos. I found a GUI style picture file compressor called "Trimage" then there is a terminal based called "jpegoptim" that work directly on your server terminal. I'm going to do most of the processing at home and re-upload the files again this way I don't tank the server load with monster recompress of 8 GB of files. Currently on the desktop side the only poor I got is CLS (Content Layout Shift) again waiting for Google to retest this out. I'm my testing I managed to reach 0.08 on most pages. 
    The biggest is the CLS and diving into the CSS and do a search for "google" it will pop up. Now you can set the amount of space in the CSS to fix the CLS or at least reduce it. I aimed for reduction mostly. Kind of hard with dynamic layout design like Invision.
    Timing is basically getting your server optimized as best you can then start drop out the drag. More or less how I build diesel truck for customers. Lose as much drag and weight then start adding power to the engine. This way your not adding power to huge archor or excessive weight and trying to drag the weight. (Switch back to web) More or less ditch the heavy graphics as much as possible, go more "Plain Jane" now you can add back in the goodies and watch till Google whines about either content shift or timing. 
    Maybe that's why I drive a 500 HP Diesel Truck that most just think is stock...

    That's cheating... Yeah IPS might have a zero CLS shift because they do not have any Google Adsense being displayed. Where most of us use the Google adsense for income. Another thing to look at is the test during peak traffic hours vs quiet time. I typically do my code work in the quiet time so my test in the morning typically better than mid day or evening time when busy. Timing wise is tough to work with growing traffic and times get longer. As for the CLS you can fix that for the most part but adsense ads tend to create huge amount of CLS.

    Like currently to gain more speed and reduce timings here. I've now downloaded a copy of my entire website. Now taking my attachments which are mostly photos. Copied again on my local hard drive and going month by month to re-compress all the photos down. 
    cd .. cd monthly_2021_02 jpegoptim -f *.jpg optipng *.png In doing so I've seen several files with as high as 30% saving in space now. Just the month_2021_02 I made at least a 25 MB space savings. When you run through all the folders there might be a considerable saving of all the photos being re-compressed the marginal pages I've got will most likely pass when I get this project done. Now figure my website started way back at 2007 orignally so there is a close to 8.5 GB of files on the attachment folder and going to take me awhile to process down.

    Like myself, I managed to pull it off... Marginally but did it... I've expanded more ads on the thread listing page and the forum post pages too. Still managed to squeeze through barely making it all fit. Ugh!

    I'll use any web based test tool from the outside. I can't really use my browser developer tools being my local internet here is slow. So the scores are always a touch lower and never quite reach the mark ever. Now web based test like GT Metrix works well being it like any customer coming to the site.
