In viewing the code for Pages database records, the open graph meta tag og:type is added for each display record: <meta property="og:type" content="object"> This is true of all our different databases records. I cannot find reference to an og:type of object and should be at least one of the types listed at the open graph spec: https://ogp.me/#type_article How do I change or modify the content value? And where is it coming from so that I can change or specify the correct value: in my case either "website" or "article"

In Pages, is it possible to call a block from within a Editor field? My goal here is to create the content to display, like an article, but then add a custom block call in between paragraphs to place an ad or Call To Action. Thanks, Mike

Yep, I see that the system does not move users into an arbitrary group. Does anyone know of a plugin/app that can help me manage this? Or add tasks to perform based on configurable criteria?

We're using 4.4.x and contemplating using the subscription system versus the products as subscriptions. The Products as subscriptions with renewals seems a bit more flexible at this point so we're leaning that way. One thing we're trying to figure is how to move users into groups once the product or subscription expires. I can see that the user will be moved into the previous group they had, but we don't know what group they may have had when registering or purchasing the subscription product. Is there a way to automatically move the users into a specific group(s) once their product subscription expires? Or better, an automated system task that changes a user's groups once x-action happens. I'm aware of the Group Promotions area, but it does not affect user's that have been changed by the Products or Subscriptions.

Ah that's better than commenting out every line. Now, if only the ACP editor had a command for that like: ctrl|cmd-/ Thanks!

From my experience, the template excutable code surrounded by {{ execute this; }} like the following still gets executed, even while in <!-- --> Following should be blank, but the template code still execute and will throw an error <!-- This gets executed This gets executed {{$var 20;}} and throws the error Does this print? {$var} --> The following will NOT throw an error: Following should be blank, and is commented out correctly <!-- This gets executed This gets executed {{ // $var 20;}} but does NOT throw the error Does this print? {$var} --> Since executable template codes needs to be on one line for each command, is there a fast way to comment out each of these execution lines?

@SMen Wondering if you can post or DM the subscription expiration script? We can move the request to a developer forum if needed. We're stuck on 4.4.x for the moment due to the need to continue using Post Anonymously by TSP. So we cannot use 4.5 Free trial system at this time. Currently I am using the signup form (from Guest -> Member) to place users automatically in a TRIAL group. So in the initial TRIAL Group, users have access to the TRIAL features. After 7 days, the Group Promotions sweeps all TRIAL accounts that were created 7 days ago into the TRIAL EXPIRED group ( oh how I wish we could add features to the list of automated systems tasks! ). The next time they log in as TRIAL EXPIRED, we can try to upsell them to a subscription. I can't help but think there is a better way to manage these as a product/subscription (well of course there is, in 4.5!) but in 4.4. So wondering if the script will do the trick to sweep certain accounts, and I could go back to having a regular signed-in, non-privileged member accounts. Thanks, Mike

@Sonya* and @Morrigan Thank you! You are both so helpful! I really appreciate it!

@Sonya* I don't know about the workarounds, can you point me to a place where they might be listed? Can you use a database to link to events and then "feature" those database records in a feed of some sort? Or help figure out how to mark an event in some way, (featured is OK, but the 'featured' does not automatically come off once event has passed) and loop through a feed of events in a block, selected based on date range, or some feature. Thank you

@A Zayed Could you elaborate on this? I do not see any place to select a Pages database from within the converter app.

I appreciate the confirmation. The header on all these pages looks very blank. And for internal pages like /privacy and /terms, I don't understand the benefit. The menu bar and account top bar both disappear for these pages leaving the user to only be able to go backward rather than navigate to the next item.

On our site, when logged in, the account bar (notifications, PMs, Account Name) appears at the top of the page. However, when a user purchases a product, the CHECKOUT page does not show the Account bar any longer. Same if we're showing an internal page like /privacy or /terms, the Account bar doesn't show. I checked this site (invisioncommunity.com) and find when I purchase a product, the checkout page DOES show the account bar. Is there a theme setting or system setting that manages showing the account bar when in these pages? Thanks

I'd like to manage user content permissions "errors" by redirecting them to signup pages, or other specific pages. Is there a plugin/app that allows us to intercept the error pages and based on context or error codes, present the user with either custom error messages or redirect them to specific pages or locations? For instance, when allowing guests to view topics but not posts, the user receives an error code of 2F173/H no matter the forum, and while we can add a custom message per forum, the "look" is still the error page. I'd like to redirect them to a page, based on the forum, that explains member benefits etc. Or similar, display a popup that allows them to register or see the membership levels. Instead of this: I'd like it to redirect to this:

Thank you @Meddysong and @Paul E.! I did not know that was there! I spend so much time in the AdminCP, I never thought to look there! Thanks very much!

Is there a built-in feature (or plugin) providing a clickable announcement at the top of every page? Like this one:

How can I add a query (or filter) to a Pages database template set or display, without the user first selecting it? For example, we have a database of coupons. When looking at the category or listing index, or even searching them, I want to always filter out coupons that have expired. So any time a user is looking at a list or searching coupons, the query will never show (or allow to be searched) records that are past their expiration date. Thanks.

I'd like to use this to manage our community of paid membership subscriptions. Is there any way to sync additional fields from products/commerce? On our system, when a user signs up for the site, we put them in a TRIAL group. I'd like to sync the group name, the join date, along with the user info. If they purchase a subscription product, They are moved into a MEMBER group. I'd like to sync their new group name, their product purchase date, the product/subscription expiration date. Thanks!

Yes, I'm interested in seeing all system and user errors for our IPS site. I'd like them in a central location, divided by environment (stage and production), and pushed to our Slack. I'd also like events and logging pushed to a central location (loggly, splunk, etc.) if possible.

Has anyone experience in integrating IPS with Rollbar (rollbar.com) or other error and/or system event monitoring tools? Thanks, Mike

@Adriano Faria I would be interested in testing this. We have a closed tag forum system on to which we are also building Pages databases and Calendar events with those closed tags. We would also like to use such a content tag selection system for all types of content, not just Forums.

Yes, thanks. I do have those items. They are good, I agree. Are there other template examples (they don't have to be plugins/apps) or did @Lindy and IPS ever release the examples he was referring to? Besides the documentation (Release Notes example, etc)

@Joel R Sorry this is old, but I'm interested in what you mean. Are you saying the IPS templates @Lindy was open sourcing for instruction are held by @opentype and @TAMAN? or to purchase the template pages plugins like SuperGrid, and Pages Article Styles ? I am still very interested in real-world examples like @Lindy is suggesting about (I think) the IPS site. The IPS site is an excellent example of what can be done with Pages, but it remains beyond me to figure out how to duplicate some of the better parts of the site. With templates like from the IPS site, seeing the code behind the result would be an amazing boon to using Pages for CMS layouts. Thanks.

If you're using the 1.1.0 version of the plugin with 4.4, I want to affirm that setting a dummy user as the anonymous user is a workaround to getting the plugin to work as TSP states above. For our community, we cannot have all anonymous posts as one user, so we're waiting for an update to the plugin.

Thank you very much for letting us know! We really appreciate the work. If I can be of any assistance: external testing, etc., please DM me. Happy to help in whatever way I can.

@TSP Wondering if there are plans to upgrade your plugin for 4.4? Our users rely on it for our forums and we're hoping to deploy 4.4 in the next few weeks. We would appreciate knowing if the upgrade is in the works. Thanks very much.
