No, not yet. A lot going on, sorry. To be honest a lot of bugs IPS could verify for themselves, creating tickets for bugs is so time consuming for both parties so I try to limit to priority issues.

It's now 2021 and I spent probably 4 hours today so far trying to resolve this. Apparently the editor toolbar is supposed remain visible by default whilst you scroll up and down whilst editing your content. I'm assuming IPS disabled it. It's a nightmare trying to format a Privacy Policy, add links etc, without endless scrolling up and down on a tablet. 
It should work similar to this, so no matter where you are editing the UI is available to you:

https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor4/latest/examples/fixedui.html

Or it also supports floating toolbars showing buttons relevant to what you are currently editing.

I wish IPS would enable a toggle or let it be fixed as you work.

Thanks Matt, as I understand it then, clearing the Redis cache in this manner would effectively mean the Redis cache size should visibly increase, since the existing data isn't purged, it could potentially double in size. Depending on the size of the cache and how full it is prior to clearing, it should be very noticeable. However it stays the same according to the Dashboard. 

Monitoring it live in real-time with Netdata, it should show a sudden influx of new keys, but I don't think I've seen that. I'll have to check again to be sure, but certainly the Redis data size in AdminCP stays the same, it should at least change which confused me.

Hi,

Shame, IPS inserts the blurb for you automatically in the Third Parties section of the Privacy Policy if you enable the option in AdminCP. I don't know if it's extensible though.

Hi Nathan,

Suggestion: I've no idea if this is actually possible, but maybe add the brief privacy policy links to show automatically when the relevant options are enabled in the plugin to be included in:

Hi Matt,

Thanks. Do you consider it necessary that Clear System Caches in 4.6 should clear stored objects from Redis? I realise you do add expiry to them, but to flush the object cache at the same time as other system caches?

Hi @Daniel F

Thanks, I still have the one open for you since 15th July from the issue with random bulk Gallery upload inconsistencies. Do you need a new one for this?

Meanwhile, I have been able to copy and paste 2 of the 3 texts back in to their respective fields from the working front facing text. I should have copied all 3 before saving the AdminCP page because Guidelines disappeared as soon as I saved the Terms and Privacy. I may be able to recover the guidelines policy text from the 4.5 backup I created or my main PC.

Here's something to check... One of my sites, actually the first I upgraded to 4.6 seems to lost all of the privacy, terms, guidelines and cookie policies. They are all empty! 🤮

This is weird. I'm starting to wonder if 4.6 is cursed. Bring on 4.7.

I posted earlier about how all my policies are gone from ACP > Terms and Privacy section, but I've just noticed they are are still showing properly on the front end! I went back to AdminCP and sure enough they are all empty.

Thanks for highlighting this!

Thanks. Do you mean table prefixes in the MySQL database, if so yes. 

Thanks SJ77, perhaps IPS will update the integration at some point. 
 

@MattI've read good things about alternative Riskified, apparently they only charge you for approvals and have better detection methods.

I have noticed that using the new Clear System Caches button in 4.6 doesn't clear stored data from Redis 6.2.5.

Hi @SJ77

Did you get anywhere with this? I was just looking at their site directed from 4.6.5.1 and where it says you for best results choose v1.3 or above, that link takes me to an error page, even though I'm signed into their site.

There is no page in the Help Guide here for this community enhancement.

Hi,

I'm unsure if you would class this as a bug but I've been trying for quite a while now to import some IPS Blogs into Pages via their RSS feed.
I need to preserve some important team project blogs including some memorial blogs before removing the Blogs app which hadn't been used for years. The Copy to Database feature only lets you import from Forums, so I can't use that. I don't think Adriano's plugin does it either.

I originally had to wait for a Import RSS Feed bug in to be fixed, now I'm having issues with the actual images in the articles. No matter which of the 3 image import options I select when setting up the RSS import, it imports the blog entry images as the lazy loading spacer image, instead of the actual image, resulting in this.

<img alt="100_2089.jpg" data-loaded="true" data-src="https://example.com/forum/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" src="https://example.com/forum/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" style="height: auto;">

This is how the image appears in the source of the original Blog entry:

<img alt="100_2089.jpg" data-loaded="true" data-src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/username/House/100_2089.jpg" src="//example.net/forum/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" style="height: auto;">

I'm now back to square one and the Blog licence is no more, I had to move it to a another site. It doesn't import the comments either but that's aside.

Has anyone else had this issue and found a workaround?

Hi @HeadStand

When you have time, please could you update SparkPost Integration for 4.6? Seems to work okay.

Many thanks!

Awesome, thanks Ryan.

Hi @Stuart Silvester

Can you confirm that this has been fixed in the recent updates, please?

I think I fell foul of this recently whilst experimenting with it from a Wordpress plugin and gave up thinking it was me at fault.

Thank you.

Hi,

Is there a timestamp available in IPS somewhere or perhaps a background task timestamp for when the theme's files (js/css) were last rebuilt/cached?

Basically I need to compare it to another timestamp inside a plugin background task to decide whether to trigger a cache rebuild. I don't want to reinvent the wheel if IPS already stores the timestamp or age somewhere already.

Many thanks!

Hi Afro,

Hard to say, I haven't done any specific benchmarking either with v6.2.5 or prior but I've found in my particular usage cases (site traffic, DB size, VPS specs etc) that it seems to be snappier and more responsive experience having it enabled for data store and reducing Mysql overhead enabled, but disabling Redis to cache pages, that definitely seemed to make things more sluggish. As Brandon once said, it make cost more in efficiency and resources to cache all the pages if you don't have that much traffic.

Hi,

I've added native lazy loading on some non-IPS website pages which display a up to a couple of hundred thumbnail images on each, it works fine on my iPad (2017, ios 14.6) but you do still have to enable it under Safari > Advanced > Experimental Features > Lazy image loading.

Thanks!

I  just tried it on a 4.6.3 site and switching to IP 127.0.0.1, my Port No. and no password works on that too.

IPS are looking at compatibility. It looks like a workaround by switching back to using a port and IP address instead of my usual Unix Socket.

IPS 4.5.4.2 still reports caching isn't working but it seems to be according to the increasing keys. Perhaps the red banner goes away after a while.

Hello,

I was asked to post this in the feedback section in response to my support ticket...

Please could you update the Redis configuration settings in Advanced Configuration, to include a USERNAME field for compatibility with the latest stable release of Redis (currently v6.2.5).

https://redis.io/download

IPS needs to be able to pass the username as part of the configuration, whereas previous it was just an optional password (due to changes that came about with the improved security and ACL feature).

Many thanks.

Thanks Daniel, I've just created one with site access.

Thank you for the clarification. Really these latest releases are giving a headache... it seems that it doesn't go through tests... complicated.

Yes, I'm sure there is some QA in place, and a lot of hard work going on, but it is frustrating. It's quite possible one user may never experience the same issues I'm having, and vice versa.
