  1. I'm forking my platform and am trying to migrate some of my forums.
  2. Thanks. I will give that a try and revert. Much much appreciated!!
  3. Thanks. So, in conf_global.php it's blank single quotes, so nothing. What I actually need are forums and users. Forums: forums_ ?? Users: ?? Anyone know? Thx.
  4. Likely silly question but what is the database prefix used by IPS, notably for forum topics. Is it core_ or ipb_ Thanks
  5. The main reason you hire a developer is to obtain a product that works. I've used Adriano to program a highly complex application and it works! Adriano knows IPS better than anyone. Not sure how long, or if he was among the first to work with IPS, but his applications are second to none. As for his knowledge of IPS, just peruse the IPS forums and see who is usually both first and right when answering people’s issues. Indeed, I took the option of buying his VIP package so that I could access all his apps permanently. Currently, I have about ten of them running on my board and never get errors, or rarely anyway, and when I do, they get fixed immediately. Importantly, as IPS continues to rapidly evolve into increasingly sophisticated technologies, it will be imperative to rely solely on well-built applications by reliable developers, hence the need for Adriano. Last thought, sure, Adriano can be a little gruff sometimes, but so is my motorcycle mechanic and I wouldn’t take my bike anywhere else. I heartily recommend Adriano for both his applications and custom development work. 👍
  6. Thanks for the topic move!!
  7. I'm looking for someone who may have experience going back and forth to BuddyPress or BuddyBoss from IPS. I'm primarily interested in migrating users and forum content. Passwords are not mission critical and might be the more difficult part anyway. So two different needs, export from IPS to either BuddyPress or BuddyBoss and import back to IPS from the two. If anyone has experience doing it, please feel free to PM me.
  8. I know that images can be downloaded one at a time. Is there a way to download entire albums?
  9. Apologies if asked and answered. Is there any way, or app, to easily take an image that was posted in a forum thread and copy it over to a gallery album? Thx.

    Posting reminder

    Perfect but rather than notified 'daily' IF it were possible, the ideal would be to set one's own reminder schedule. If I want to be reminded of something in six months for Christmas, being reminded daily might become obnoxious.

    Posting reminder

    Understood and somewhat obvious. But if we use that logic then there are several functionalities that need not be built-in. Allowing someone to remind them to post, within the system, contributes to engagement. I’m not saying it will increase it by 50%, but every little bit counts. I still think that this would be a useful addition.
  12. This would, I believe, make for an interesting app or core offering... the ability to remind ourselves to post in a given topic. I just had a member start a topic. It's a great topic and I want to answer, but I want to think about it for a couple of days first. I would love to be able to set a reminder for that specific thread, much like we do with an event. Another scenario might be a mention of Christmas in a thread at which point you want to remind yourself to come back and post in time for Christmas. Etc... I would just do it forwards, as in: Remind me in... 6 hours, 2 days, or 6 weeks. Feasible? Others?
  13. Works fine for me also.
  14. If asked and answered elsewhere, please feel free to give me the link. As a satisfied and dedicated self-hosted client, who plans to remain so for a while, I just wanted to ask IPS about the self-hosted vs. cloud functionality differences. Are the differences technically-driven or business-driven? In other words, e.g. courses, who is viewing this topic, etc. are on cloud only because the implementation on self-hosted would be too technically complex or is it a business rationale to motivate a likely more lucrative cloud offering? Clearly, IPS is entitled to business-driven decisions, but I think it would be useful to know what drives the growing number of benefits to the cloud offering: programming or revenue? Another question, which I respect IPS may not wish to answer, is the current % of self-hosted vs. cloud clients. Again, I respect it if you prefer not to say, a private corporation is private for a reason, but I thought I would ask nonetheless because it will give us an idea of the probable longevity of the self-hosted commitment. If self-hosted only represents 10%, then I can see the rationale for putting maximum effort into the cloud offering. If self-hosted is still over 50%, then I feel more comforted that we'll be supported for a longer time. Both these questions are asked with an understanding of IPS' stated commitment to a self-hosted offering for the 'foreseeable future' (as per an IPS response on TrustPilot). But, admittedly, as you know, some of us in the self-hosted realm are starting to feel like an annoying cousin. Thanks in advance and, not to be too repetitive, I am an IPS supporter and love the product. I just want to be further reassured of the benefits of my/our continued commitment to the platform.
  15. Another app I have and LOVE.
