  1. Any chance of customizing how hidden content is displayed? I enjoy some of the sites that utilize the style of redacted content to give a sort of preview to guests and encourage them to sign in to view the unredacted content;  I believe the term for the technique(s) is either "Skeleton Loading" or "Placeholders"

    I think this would give some extra UI points to the experience for guests vs just the single sentence of text. 


    See demonstrations below from SwiftUI and React:

    View of quotes.Icons showing with placeholder text.

  2. Some bug reporting:  @CodeBite

    Syntax error that prevents certain plugins from working with this theme, already reported to dev:

    Try to edit the theme > core > front > global > globalTemplate

    Find

    <html lang="{expression="\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->bcp47()"}" dir="{{if member.language()->isrtl}}rtl{{else}}ltr{{endif}}" {{if theme.sendo__color_on == '1'}}class='theme--{{if \IPS\Request::i()->cookie['userSendo_color'] == 'white'}}white{{elseif \IPS\Request::i()->cookie['userSendo_color'] == 'dark'}}dark{{else}}{theme="sendo__color_default"}{{endif}}{{else}}class='theme--{theme="sendo__color_default"}'{{endif}}'>

    Replace by

    {{$themeColor = \in_array( request.cookie['userSendo_color'], array( "dark", "white" ) ) ? request.cookie['userSendo_color'] : theme.sendo__color_default;}}
    <html lang="{expression="\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->bcp47()"}" dir="{{if member.language()->isrtl}}rtl{{else}}ltr{{endif}}" {{if theme.sendo__color_on == '1'}}class='theme--{$themeColor}'{{endif}}>

     


    Menu bug that prevents icons from showing and menu from working with smaller resolutions/windows. (Note, icons work when in full size menu, just not in the "more" menu)Could contain: Text

    On this version the secondary menus fail to open at all:
    Could contain: Text


    Unsure if related to theme, or something with my server. But images intermittently fail to save or are reset when saving the theme. As seen above, my logo was cleared. This correlates with the theme options page bugging out and failing to display as a tab after a "save and reload" click as seen below:
    Could contain: Text, Plot, Page, Diagram

    I have seen this reported in other themes, so I figured I'd include it here.

    It's a really nice theme, hoping some of these issues get sorted. 

  3. I wasn't able to tell from the images, but will this application allow for members to categorize their own collections? 

    For example:

    Collection Category (i.e. Fire Departments)
     ----- User Created Collection (i.e. Los Angeles Fire with description)
    ----------- User Posted Item 1 (i.e. Fire Engine 28 with images/specs)
    ----------- User Posted Item 2 (i.e. Rescue Truck 42 with images/specs)

  4. I was having an issue with S3 not allowing me to install items through the Marketplace. I would get a "There was a problem loading this content" error. 

    I believe the issue was related to my CORS config as it was resolved after including "PUT" and "POST" in AllowedMethods[]
     

    [
        {
            "AllowedHeaders": [
                "*"
            ],
            "AllowedMethods": [
                "HEAD",
                "GET",
                "PUT",
                "POST"
            ],
            "AllowedOrigins": [
                "*"
            ],
            "ExposeHeaders": [],
            "MaxAgeSeconds": 3000
        }
    ]

    Unsure if anyone else has run into this, or if this is the ideal setup for CORS, but it seems to have resolved the issue.

  5. User_posts is only required for timeline status update imports. You do not need the permission enabled for social media login to function. You do have to turn off the import status updates feature in your community though.

    Unfortunately, user_posts now requires business verification from Facebook, effectively killing that feature for any individual owners without an established business.

  6. Hi there,

    For some of the widget/block feeds that are available in the IPS Suite there are many different variables you can select to enable/disable items from displaying such as Featured, Pinned, etc. 

    I think it would be nice to add the option to restrict/allow items/records from displaying based on if they have a cover image/screenshot associated as well. In my specific case I am referencing blog entry feeds, but I believe this would be helpful in page records and downloads as well. 

    Thanks for your consideration.

    While I can't guarantee the mod will work on all third-party themes, it should work without issue on most themes that do not significantly modify the core layout of the forum index, and it is fully compatible with the latest IPS release.

    Any themes that drastically alter the way templates are structured risk breaking compatibility with not only my plugin but others as well. That's unfortunately not something I can control.

    Regarding support for newer versions of Font Awesome, the reason it only supports FA4 is because that is the version currently bundled with IPS. Generally, I'd prefer waiting for IPS to update this library themselves, but I can look into providing an option to replace FA4 with newer versions.

    I appreciate your work on that, and my issue isn't with your mod at all. It's more so that I really believe that this is something that should natively be a part of the IPS forum settings without requiring custom CSS replacements or a third-party modification.  🙂

    Hey there. What kind of icons would you like to incorporate? 

    I'm rooting for Font Awesome 5 integration.

    For example:

    • fa-comments (as seen here)
    • fa-tools
    • fa-cog or fa-fogs
    • fa-question / fa-question-circle
    • fa-life-ring

    But there are too many to list and every community is different in their selections. If it is too difficult to integrate something that would allow us to select an icon, enabling .svg uploads of icons (which are provided by Font Awesome for free) would allow for an easy compromise.

    Or use CSS to change out the font awesome Icons.

     

    I already mentioned that mod in the OP. That mod doesn't work well anymore. It only supports Font Awesome 4, and isn't guaranteed to work if the mod is used on a custom themed forum. 

    The goal is user friendly switches. Not custom CSS fixes. I am capable of doing a lot of things with CSS, but for user experience, this shouldn't be one of them. 

  10. Can we get support for Font Awesome instead of png/jpg graphics for forum icons? 

    If not, can we get support for SVG to upload Font Awesome icons instead of  solely raster graphics?

    There is one mod out there do this, but it only supports up to FA4.

    You dont need to create extra theme settings for a custom color as it will cause you a headache later if you needed to reinstall the theme

    You can simply add another line of code in custom.css to setup the default color with targeting body tag except color schemes classes

     

    
    
    body:not(.taP_colorScheme1):not(.taP_colorScheme2):not(.taP_colorScheme3):not(.taP_colorScheme4):not(.taP_colorScheme5)
    .grpAdmin {
    	--theme-grpAdmin: 0, 0, 255; /*<--- This is the default color in raw rgb*/;
    	color: rgb(var(--theme-grpAdmin));
    }

    basically, this will change the .grpAdmin color value but only if body tag has no classes like (taP_colorScheme1, taP_colorScheme2...)

    In your case you also do not need to use raw rgb color values in palette theme setting as its complicated to customize the colors. (Im only using raw rgb values in palette because ips uses almost all kinds of color with rgb)

    you can simply use HEX values in palette like  --theme-grpAdmin: #fff;   you will also need to remove the rgb tag in the color property     color: var(--theme-grpAdmin); 

     

    Thank you for the tip!

    That solution works great. 

  12. Hi there,

    I was trying to wrap my head around this but haven't figured it out just yet.

    I am attempting to adjust my user group formatting based on the theme selected. It's fairly straight forward for the custom palettes.. I have each group setup with it's own class tag within a <span>. 

    <span class="grpAdmin">Admin</span>

    I then added a custom theme variable to each palette, for example:

    --theme-grpAdmin:255,255,255;

    and then setup some CSS in the custom.css

    .grpAdmin{
    color: rgb(var(--theme-grpAdmin));
    }

    This works great in allowing me to set 5 custom colors based on the users palette choice. But the default palette returns no styling for the group class, I assume because there is no option set for that in the theme editor. Any chance you can point me in the right direction to get this working?

     

    EDIT: Figured it out. Had to go into designers mode and add some custom settings for the default. Im guessing those will get overwritten with updates, but at least I know how to do it now 🙂

    Good afternoon.
    Found problems, can they be solved?
    1. In the settings, it does not save the selected groups for which the display is available.
    2. The logo image is not displayed if social networks are not enabled.
    3. Social network icons are not displayed.
    4. Twitter lettering on top.

    I fixed this by editing the template:

    Templates > Core > Global > Plugins > widgetFooterHtml

    Change 

    <i class="fa fa-{$media}"></i>

    To

    <i class="fab fa-{$media}"></i>

     


     

  14. You're not the only one who's gone down this path 🙂 Easiest way is as CoffeCake describes. Delete the system files (keep your uploads and such), and upload the fresh install files directly from Invision. That should give you a functioning community, login to your AdminCP to finish the setup/ license key verification then run the setup tool to resolve the rest of any issues. 

  15. I'd really love to see something that resembles how Discord displays their emojis. It makes a large selection of options far more manageable by showing your frequently used emojis first, followed by custom ones, then the standard ones. The side bar option makes navigating very fast, and it also show all the different codes to trigger that emoji all in the same box. Oh and GIFs as well 🙂

     

    Just as individual discords can have their own emoji sets, there is an opportunity to integrate that idea into Clubs and allow each club to have their own emoji set they can use elsewhere in the Suite (or not depending on the setting).

    All in all, any improvements are more than welcome whatever the case.

    I've been experimenting with some options that should help improve the behavior in an upcoming release. 👍

    Awesome. I was just trying to figure out why my block that pulls a feed of randomized featured images from the gallery wasn't displaying random images, but the same ones over and over.  Hoping this fix will resolve that for us!
