13. reacted to AncientMariner in Create PHP composer bundle of IPB
I'd just like to raise this thread from the dead and add a +1. Modern PHP apps use Composer. We extend IPB a bunch and it's hacky atm. Having IPB be accessible via composer would make updating IPB much easier too. It's totally fine if the packages were behind a client login, very used to this on other projects.

This will allow easy integration via services like Packagist.

Why? IPS software isn't publicly available unless you've purchased a license. The source code would still have to be behind a client login.

So I understand your argument, piracy will always exist, so let's make it easier for them? Did I interpret that right?

I don't think you understand how composer works, we will add a custom URL with our authorisation tokens for our projects which will fetch directly from Invision's servers directly. It's no less secure than how the current update system is implemented already, just provides another method of integration.

There’s a plugin for this.

It would be a lot nicer if @mentions, images, and links worked in the status update block.

<meta charset="utf-8"> must be the first element in <head> in the default template in order to keep code valid even if Custom tracking code is long.
Current placement causes problems with validation. Example:

In this announce new feature called "quote collapse" was mentioned. It would be nice to have the same feature for code blocks. Thanks.

13. reacted to bfarber in Locking topic, auto prune followers
Administrators and moderators can often reply to locked content. It's also not uncommon for some communities to lock certain news announcements they don't want discussion on, but you may still want to allow sharing and so forth.
I guess what I'm saying is I see your point, but I don't know that a blanket change would work for all communities.

13. reacted to AlexWright in [Group Promotion] Add Age
It would be very useful if we could add an age (in years) to use the Promote feature. This is handy as it would help sites that have age-restricted areas. Right now we are using Kevin's Rules application to handle this, but a built in option would be much better.

Suggestion.
I would love to see separate limits for positive and negative reactions in the IPS:
Thanks.

13. got a reaction from TDBF in Automatique Ban IP
No, it should not be in IPS. It must be implemented on different level: on your server side. fail2ban is good solution for this kind of bots.

@breatheheavy, I am sure that you understand that this is just a special case and has nothing to do with the situation as a whole.

13. got a reaction from CoffeeCake in Mobile App, Progressive Web App (PWA) For IPB
We said it many times.
We do care about Android. Apple is insignificant on the global mobile market in terms of devices number. There are a lot of IPS customers who have more than 90% of mobile users with Android. Why should they suffer and even care about crazy Apple's politics, while these incredibly useful features work great on Android and could benefit your customers and most of their users today?
Wasting years to create separate apps from scratch instead of a couple of weeks to create PWA based on code which was developed and improved for years and almost ready for it... Does not sound "sensible".
I understand, you hope what native app could become another source of $ when it's done, and (unfortunately) this looks like the only real reason why you don't want implement PWA. Because the argument about Apple does not look significant at all, given their real share of users.
I hope you re-evaluate the amount of time it takes to develop PWA vs native applications and will finally make the right choice.

I've said it many times.
Apple will never make PWA a first person citizen on its platform; this means complete with full service workers and notifications.
They do not want a mass App Store exodus. They want that 30% in-app payment slice.

We can definitely do more with our PWA implementation, but we decided the sensible approach was to create native apps.

The interface has unnecessary duplicate elements in some places. It would be great to get rid of this duplication and thereby simplify the interface and make it more clean and readable.

13. reacted to The Old Man in Font Awesome 6
FA4 was rather amazingly last updated in 2016 and almost 3 years since FA5 was released, but despite multiple requests from clients, IPS didn't/wouldn't support it. Somewhat frustrated, but fortunately not in a sexual way, we chuckled cheekily that FA6 would be out by the time FA5 was integrated, but more seriously it is IMHO still a missed opportunity as there were a lot of really good features like Pro, Duotone and Light icons and of course the super useful themed Icon Packs.
So I personally think, respectfully and sadly, that IPS 'dropped the ball' by not utilising a team member to update the outdated FA4 integration. If IPS had launched an integrated proprietary awards and badges feature (er, hello?) for members after adding the automated rule logic of member promotions, it could really have shined by supporting FA5's theme packs and new styles like the multi colour Duo Tone icons.
Some time ago FA launched kits for FA5 with the ability to upgrade to FA5 on the fly, but the FA4 to FA5 shim although super useful, meant accepting a performance hit, especially if you use more than one style of icon.
So here's hoping that Font Awesome 6 once released later this year will be integrated into IPS a lot sooner.
If you have a Pro licence for FA5, look out for the limited time discounted FA6 Pro upgrade offer.
If you haven't already seen it, enjoy the crazy video (that probably should have been shorter!) 🤔
