Thank you very much. I am heading into a form builder in our internal wordpress util site.

Thanks!

I am looking for a robust selfhosted solution for form data submission, and i want to explore the possibilities that IP gives me.

What i need is rather simple

• Users to be able to submit a form.
• Preferably custom form logic (fields to appear under condition e.t.c).
• Email when a new entry is entered.
• Export to Excel/Spreadsheet.

Can i leverage pages to do it?

Check your conf_global.php file, the `base_url` should contain https:// if it is http:// update it and then clear the caches via the AdminCP > Support page.

Indeed that was the issue. Stupid enough not to be check it at first, but i did not change it and i am sure it was https. How that could have changed?

Community seems to be working just fine.

Some days ago i noticed that some actions did not work.

Examples: 

• Changing page in search results.
• Hide simple notifications.
• Cannot login to admin area.

I found out that the reason was mixed content.

Trying to hide the notification produces the following in the console:

I also cannot login to the Administration area:

After inputting the password:

And console:

Server seems healthy, did malware check and everything, nothing showed up.

I took another look at your community and while the task is called, it's not really processing anything.

I have created a ticket so that we can look at this further.

Yeap that seems to be the case.. I double checked that the cron job is running and the tasks are indeed running from within the admin panel and got the same feeling as you.

Just looking at the first one there, that topic is not yet archived. As my colleague pointed out there, its archiving in the background, so you will not see everything archive instantly. It will happen very gradually over time

The topics that are archived actually say archived on them when viewed

Is it normal that 2 weeks now the process hasn't been completed?

Hi,

the task is working and it's archiving topics in the background.

Do you have any post example which shouldn't appear? It's fine to just reply with the ID instead of the link to the post if you don#t want to share the URL in public.

It is easy to check.

Search for the term "blanket". Every post that will come up shouldn't come up because it is part of the archive.

First IDs that come up: 2134, 2132 , 2012 e.t.c

Thanks!

We would need to look further into this for you, however the access details on file appear to be incorrect or missing. Could you please update these details by visiting your client area, selecting the relevant purchase, then clicking "Review/Update Access Information" under the "Stored Access Information" section. 

We look forward to further assisting you. 

 

I think that my status hasn't changed., The search results bring my archived posts. Did you have time to take a look at it?

I have refreshed the credentials in Client Area.

Thank you!

The content isn’t archived immediately after changing the settings, instead there’s a background tasks which will iterate over your content meeting the criteria for archiving and archive it  

I see. Can i trigger this job myself? I don't see any background process active in Dashboard.

Hi I have enabled archiving:

and i just pressed SAVE.

But i don't see any difference in search operation. I still get the results from the archived posts. Do i have to do anything else to actually archive my posts? The only thing i have done is to enable the archive:

Oh shoot, I see now. Thanks!

Do you know of any other options that can be added for more intuitive use, like with a button and in-browser view? Thanks!

Maybe add alink / button on page with 

window.print()

?

I added all of this in Custom but it did not show up anywhere. Any suggestions for what I may have done wrong?

The result is viewable when you press CTRL+P... In print preview you should be able to see a "clean" output....

If not , use F12 developer browser tools to find out what you need to adjust in custom css.

Thank

In the AdminCP under Customization > Themes, click the </> icon next to your theme. On the template editor page click the CSS tab, and then click on custom.css.

Add this to the end of the file:

@media print {
  /* Custom styles go here */
}

And then add whatever CSS you need to (i.e. to hide unimportant page elements) where you see "/* Custom styles go here */".

Thanks!!!!

In my case , everything id nicely printed to PDF by using the following:

@media print {
  .ipsBreadcrumb.ipsBreadcrumb_top,
  .ipsBox_alt.ipsPhotoPanel,
  html[dir="ltr"] .ipsFollow,
  .ipsList_inline, .ipsList_reset,
  .ipsBreadcrumb.ipsBreadcrumb_bottom,
  .ipsGrid.ipsGrid_collapsePhone.ipsPager.ipsClearfix.ipsSpacer_top,
  .ipsItemControls,
  .ipsType_reset.ipsType_medium.ipsType_light,
  hr.ipsHr,
  .ipsTabs_panels.ipsTabs_contained,
  .ipsTabs,
  #ipsLayout_footer,
  #elCopyright,
  header { display:none;}

  .ipsBox { border: none; }
  
  .ipsLayout_container { padding : 0; }
}

So this rules will aplly when i use ctrl+P ,correct?

It can be done easily with just a few lines of CSS. You essentially just add a “display:none” for everything you don’t need. Sidebar, header, footer—whatever it is. 

But it makes sense to do that as a custom job, not a site feature, since what is to be included might depend on each site or even each page as your request demonstrates. 

Even so, what you be an "organized" manner of doing it in IPB? A custom plugin? A template edit?

I am surprised that is not apparent. Probably we did not explain it well.

For forum topics maybe your solution would be sufficient if you had an option to print multiple page topics in one go.

But In my case i am using extensively the Pages subsystem to organize our hundreds of support articles for our users.

What i need is an option somehow to be able to print our articles BUT ONLY THE ARTICLE BODY, not the rest of the webpage.

I think that this is a must in the articles section (Pages) at least.

...and 2020.

I have build nice Knowledge bases and help support for our users in Pages, but now i need to hav ePDF versions of it or Microsoft Word and i realized i cant 🙂

I believe this is a core request for Pages at least.

Thanks.

You could consider adding a batch update for those that find your plugin after having a lot of users  It would surely boost sales.

Can i use this plugin having all my users already created?

I mean i need to BULK update the followed forums for all my existing users

I am @ 4.1.3.1 ...

Since 4.1 i noticed that there are SPECIFIC new topics that do not appear in my new content activity.. I cant figure out why they dont.....

Does anyone has the same issue? I have opened a ticket already...

Actually that sounds like a bug.

indeed.

I opened it here. I am trying to make them see it...

take a look form the video i uploaded from here : https://community.invisionpower.com/4bugtrack/active-reports/410-top-level-menu-without-children-not-executing-on-first-time-r8682/

Did a fast test upgrade from 4.0.13.1 -> 4.1 Everythign seems ok. just one thing i noticed and researching.

If i have a toplevel menu item with no childs i need to click 2 times to load the link.On first click it just enables the tab...This is good if you have sub menu items .But what if you dont?

Hello !

First of all, I would like to thank you for the tutorial. I've never made installation or upgrade tests.

My community's database is 9Gb big and my public_html directory is about the same size. What if I create a duplicate website on my server, instead of using softwares like wamp ? I suppose it will be easier ? What should I care about ?

Thank you  :)

I have done it many times....

I just created a subdomain of my main site and make the test upgrade there ....

3.4.8 to 4.0 upgrade

If you renamed your admin folder in 3.4.8, how would you proceed to upgrade 4.0???

Thanks

If you see the guide in forst post you dont need the admin folder to do the upgrade.

So you perform the upgrade and you will have a new admin directory.

Then rename it as you want.
