The page content settings goes off the screen in iPad tablet landscape mode, and isn’t shown at all in portrait mode when viewing the API oAuth settings tab for Rest API scopes. (iPadOS 16.3.1 Safari)

After double-checking this regex found I needed to change this:
<DirectoryMatch "^/home/(.*)/public_html$"> AllowOverride AuthConfig </DirectoryMatch>
to:
<DirectoryMatch "^\/home\/(.*)\/public_html$"> AllowOverride AuthConfig </DirectoryMatch>
in order to get a valid regex match on my hosts public_htmls, but after restarting Apache the AdminCP warning still shows the server doesn't support Authentication headers.

Sure, I just did a quick test with and without the plug-in and it made no difference. I think its just that there are no images for those forums anymore, at least according to the source code in the dev tools.
TEST 1 Firefox DuckDuckGo Extension Disabled:
Some images not showing
TEST 2 Firefox DuckDuckGo Extension Enabled:
Still some images not loading
Advanced Development forum image is in the source code and is a jpg, but Marketplace for example seems to have no image set, I think that's the reason:
Pretty similar in Chrome with the DuckDuckGo extension enabled too:

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve modified it to:
Quote<DirectoryMatch "^/home/(.*)/public_html$">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</DirectoryMatch>to match all users public_html directories but the warning message about authentication headers in IPS AdminCP API Key settings hasn’t gone away.
Also modified:
SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$0to
SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
Using an API key via URL query works okay on the core hello endpoint, but no luck using a header instead, I still get:
REQUEST DATA
[]
RESPONSE
{ "errorCode": "3S290\/9", "errorMessage": "INVALID_ACCESS_TOKEN" }

Thanks Jim, will do. It might be the DuckDuckGo privacy extension, I have that installed on the Apache.
-
Thanks I’ll have another go. (Sorry the code button isn’t showing in this forum on tablet, only quote).
re errors, I get:
QuoteRESPONSE
{ "errorCode": "3S290\/9", "errorMessage": "INVALID_ACCESS_TOKEN" }
and
{
"error": "invalid_client"
}I’m just trying connecting with API Tester app on my iPad which seems really good with lots of examples to get you going. It also supports both REST and GraphQL, so I figured I would try to create an oAuth for it rather than simple API URL key as I’ve done in past for connecting via Wordpress. I tried to use the oAuth page options that don't prompt a login screen because I want to eventually run the code as a script both within IPS and externally.
If I go to the IPS API key page, I see the message:
QuoteYour server does not support authentication headers. As you will need to pass the API key in the URL, we recommend you set up IP address restriction.
However I know my server does as far as Wordpress’ health check tool is concerned.
I’ve tried everything to get authentication headers works for IPS. I’ve tried the various suggestions found online about adding CGIAuthPass to htaccess, allowing Authconfig to be used via AllowOveride in htaccess via adding this to post_virtualhost_global.conf
Quote<Directory "\/public_html\/">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory><IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header merge Access-Control-Allow-Headers *,Authorization
Header merge Access-Control-Expose-Headers *,Authorization
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET,POST,PUT,HEAD,OPTIONS"
</IfModule><IfModule mod_headers.c>
<IfModule mod_setenvif>
SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$0
</IfModule>
</IfModule>but so far IPS always reports that message so I thought oAuth would be better.
I realise that selfhosted server config is beyond support’s realm, but I just want to make sure I’m at least trying with the correct oAuth settings, given there are so many and the help docs don’t say which options to configure for use with the API and GraphQL.

Is this the latest version of firefox you are Seeing issues on? Im not seeing any issues at all on firefox my end
Yes it was the latest version for Windows 11 PC.

When creating an oAuth there is a bewildering array of options which change depending on which previous options you have checked. Once I have tried a few times to connect and tweak the settings on the client side, IPS blocks me but there is no reset option in the AdminCP.
Please can you confirm which settings and options I need to generate an oAuth to be able to connect externally to access the GraphQL and REST API features?
-
Actually, it's a bit confusing. Just looking at the homepage of the forum here the images aren't showing in Firefox on my PC. Then when I checked the source code, its because there are no images for those categories any more!
Looking at other websites on that old iPad, it displays images just fine, aside from WebP of course.
-
Just curious... What type of images are not being displayed? IPS still supports the basics like JPEG/JPG, PNG, GIF.
Updated:
I just dug out my trusty ye olde iPad 3 with IOS 9.3.5 on it and I see what you mean! It might be to do with the IPS version of lazy loading.

After upgrading to 4.7.8 earlier, I’ve found that the moderator drop down list doesn’t work properly when in the new grid layout mode. The list of actions displays, but selecting any of the does nothing. Works fine in the traditional table layout though.
(Tested using default IPS and custom themes but only using iPad with iPadOS 16.3.1 Safari).
Also, the grid layout doesn’t show in /files/categories/ view, but this may be by design.

It also works correctly in Activity Streams 🙂

Thanks, do you think it should?

I understand, thanks anyway. Search results aren’t cached for everybody though are they?

Unfortunately, there is not a way for this to happen in the core software. Please feel free to submit a Feature Suggestion for further evaluation in a future release.
Thank you, apparently it’s been a long awaited request.

Not perfect but better than the current layout.
Thanks for the option.

I missed this topic, but completely agree after being advised it’s not possible to achieve this in the Downloads app.
It’s pretty silly to be honest if clients have waited such a long time for this basic functionality that is present in other areas of IPS and configured this way for the Marketplace here.
Honestly what’s the point of having a totally empty parent category that misleads users into missing the content inside the subcategories.
-
Hi,
Is there an existing or planned way to extract data from the Statistics section of the AdminCP via GraphQL or REST API?
I'd like to create an exporter plug-in.
Thank you.

Hi,
I have a category of Downloads which is just a category with several sub-categories containing various files. The sidebar widget shows them correctly, but when I navigate to the parent category, it says "No files in this category yet."
I noticed it does this here in the Marketplace for example in Themes, but not on my own site?
Many thanks!
-
Hello Marc,
Yes, definitely not cached content as far as I'm aware. I've also noticed that content from ignored members is showing in search results as well, so unsure if connected.
-
If you ignore a member, you still see their content within the "Popular posts" and "Top posters in this topic" sections of the sidebar. Presumably, it's the same when set to "Under the first post".

$api_url = 'https://your-forum-url.com/api/rest/';
The endpoint might not be correct, I used /api/core/hello for example but we were on 4.3 back then.

So tried to see if I can use the Rest api to get the blog records and move them to the database, but I am getting "401 Unauthorized" error saying
"errorCode": "3S290\/9",
"errorMessage": "INVALID_ACCESS_TOKEN"
If you get your key working, you may not need this but I had a similar difficulty and found that it was easier to Authorize the requests by sending the API key as the key parameter in the request, a key locked down to the server by IP in IPS.
Also to avoid "PHP Warning: parse_url() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given", the request needs to be a concatenated string, not an array.
$request = $communityUrl . $endpoint . "?key=". $apiKey;

I've been trying for some while now to do this and was hoping Adriano had a plugin to do it!
My members have not used Blogs for several years, but of the 30 or so blogs with 400 comments, I really wanted to preserve a few from members who have passed away or where they were behind-the-scenes-style community project blogs.
I've had mixed results with RSS, as some RSS feeds don't include the formatting and of course, you lose the associated comments, tags and reactions. I didn't try REST API for this but I did use that to convert from IPS Gallery to WordPress Gallery which worked fine for my needs.
I've just started getting familiar with GraphQL which seems useful.
I know it's a one-time conversion to move Blogs to Pages, but Adriano if you have an existing solution that would be a big time saver.

Is there a newsletter sign-up widget?
in General Questions

There were a few obscure places and dusty crevices a few years ago where the newsletter widget was visible to guests only, but I think IPS removed most, if not all of those overlooked widgets.
