Hi @stoo2000 We have a community with half million users that is online for almost 20 years. 70,000 users represents only 0.15% of our community... It is far from being a large number (in our case). Thanks for telling me how to import our old data.

@sto2000 Hi, I decided to give Mandrill a shot. Since it gives me 2,000 free email sends, I think I can test it for a couple of days to see the email volume we generate. I've just bought your app, I think it is a good investment, even if just for trying it out. I have an interesting question. I have a list of users who have broken emails from a previous tool I was using before with 3.4.x (https://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/6846-sd-outdate-emails/). The structure of this other tools is as follows: mysql> describe sd_outdate_emails; +----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | outdate_id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | outdate_member_id | mediumint(9) | NO | | NULL | | | outdate_member_email | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | | | outdate_time | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | outdate_set_member | mediumint(9) | NO | | NULL | | | outdate_ip_address | varchar(46) | NO | | NULL | | +----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ This table has over 70,000 records (all hard bounces), so if I could import them it would be super, as it would save us time, bandwidth, and money with Mandrill! I see your structure uses core_members with three rows: | bouncer_disabled | tinyint(1) | NO | MUL | 0 | | | bouncer_warning | tinyint(1) | NO | MUL | 0 | | | bouncer_spam | tinyint(1) | NO | MUL | 0 | | Please advise if all I need to do is to set bouncer_disabled to 1 on the records of members that match my old tool. I will leave this here also as a suggestion for you to add a conversion script for users like myself upgrading from this other tool. Thank you in advance, Gabriel.

Ok, meanwhile, it would be possible for you to tell me which file I need to edit to fix the language issue?

Everything is working fine now. Thank you so much for going the extra mile and provide an outstanding support!

Thank you for going the extra mile and providing an outstanding support.

Adriano, 1. the by/By issue was fixed by editing the membernotes > widgets > memberNotes template. Thank you very much! 2. thank you for detecting where the issue is located. You rock!

@stoo2000 thanks for bringing this outstanding app for 4.1.x. It is a shame that the developer of the Classifieds app abandoned it. I installed it successfully, and it imported all data we have from 3.4.x, which is fantastic. Anyway, I have a few very simple questions. 1. There is one word I can't find where to translate it. See attached screenshot. If you could tell me the word key for it I'd appreciate it. 2. How to make the qualifications to show up at the user's posts (i.e., below his/her avatar)? 3. Where/how the user can leave feedback? Thank you in advance.

@Adriano Faria Regarding my issue #1 above, you are incorrect. The template membernotes > widgets > memberNotes uses the word "By" as follows: <span class='ipsType_light ipsType_small'>{lang="By"} {$giver->link()|raw}, {datetime="$note['note_date']"}</span> Note the {lang="By"} That is showing up in English, not Portuguese for some reason. Please refer to the result of the MySQL query posted above. Regarding issue #2, I still don't see the "note counter" on posts or on the hover card. I have "can view notes" enabled for my usergroup. If you could take a look at that using the credentials I supplies I'd appreciate. Here is a link to a topic where you can check this out, as the topic starter has several notes and the counter should have been there. http://forum.clubedohardware.com.br/topic/1140038-sugest%C3%A3o-teste-de-fontes-mais-vendidas-atualmente/

4.1.5.2

@Adriano Faria I will dig deeper regarding the first issue later. As for the second issue, modcp_members_notes is present. In the modcp it shows up correctly. Note that the issue is not only on the hover card; it is not also showing up below the user's avatar on his posts as it should. I've just checked and all permissions are correctly enabled.

Hi @Adriano Faria! This one is working fine and it was able to correctly import old notes from IPB 3.4.x, which is great. I am facing a couple of silly layout issues, which you can see in the attached screenshot. 1) I am not able to translate the "By" phrase. I've tried everything... See below. (lang_id 1 = English; 2 = Portuguese) mysql> SELECT * FROM core_sys_lang_words WHERE word_default = 'By'; +---------+---------+----------+----------+--------------+-------------+----------------------+---------------------+---------+-------------+-------------+------------+ | word_id | lang_id | word_app | word_key | word_default | word_custom | word_default_version | word_custom_version | word_js | word_export | word_plugin | word_theme | +---------+---------+----------+----------+--------------+-------------+----------------------+---------------------+---------+-------------+-------------+------------+ | 6912 | 1 | core | by | By | NULL | 101016 | NULL | 0 | 1 | NULL | NULL | | 17938 | 2 | core | by | By | Por | 101016 | 101019 | 0 | 1 | NULL | NULL | +---------+---------+----------+----------+--------------+-------------+----------------------+---------------------+---------+-------------+-------------+------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) 2. I am not able to view the number of notes on the member's profile, neither on the hover card (shown in the screenshot) nor on the posts. Please advise! Thanks!

Hi, I tried that and it didn't work. I will provide you with ACP details. Sending you a PM.

@Adriano Faria that indeed solved the issue of duplicate phrases, but now I get messages like "[[Template core/global/plugins/memberAwayGlobalWarn does not exist. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]" This is happening probably because I tried to remove the plugin, and it is seems part of it was removed. If I try to uninstall it, I get: This webpage is not available ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED The webpage at (hidden) might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. I tried to upgrade it with itself, but then I get a 500 error. I wonder if there is a way to force this plugin to be removed or a manual way to get rid of it, as right now my only option is to disable it... Thanks.

Thanks for the help! I will try and let you know what happens!

@Adriano Faria here is the thing I am stuck at the moment with this plugin. I need to uninstall it and install it again, but I am stuck. The maximum I could do was to disable it. If I try to uninstall it, the page goes blank. So I guess I would need to force its removal or do a manual removal, but I don't know how to do it. Or, I could simply leave it installed and manually delete the duplicate phrases. I don't know how to do it. In fact, I asked you to tell me how to do this manually, but instead you provided us with a new version. I know that you wanted to help me out, however due to the issue I described, I believe it is better to simply delete the duplicate phrases. Can you help me? Thanks.

Hi, I've just bought this plugin but it doesn't work correctly. When I click on "Add Reply", it starts displaying a pop-up/modal screen and then suddently I am redirected to my profile page. Please advise.

@Adriano Faria Here is the thing, and I hope you will understand my feedback. If I simply upgrade the plugin, the duplicate language strings are still present. So I assume that I have to uninstall the old version and install the new version. However, the install/uninstall process of this plugin takes forever, eventually giving a server timeout. This happens because the install/uninstall script creates new rows at the core_members table.This works fine for small forums, but on a big forums like ours, with half million users, this is simply not the best way to do it. Any addition or removal of new rows to the core_members table on a forums with 500.000 records will take several minutes. A more intelligent solution, IMHO, is to create a new table with the data you want. The creation/removal of this table would be very fast, and this table would take up much less space on the database as well, since there won't be too many users using this feature at the same time, and this table would hold data only for the users that have the member away feature enabled. If the member_id is not in this table, this means the user doesn't have this feature enabled. BTW. This is an issue with several of your plugins. I don't want to play down the importance of all your plugins, but usually they are tested at your side on a forum that doesn't have too many users/topics/posts and they work fine, so you are not able to see the issue I am talking about. So, in summary, I am stuck, as I can't remove the plugin, as the uninstaller times out probably while trying to DROP the rows it added. I don't know if it would be safe to manually drop those via command shell and then try to uninstall.

@Adriano Faria please provide me with a query that I can run here, I have no clue about the new database structure... Thanks

@Adriano Faria I am having a silly issue with the new version of this plugin for 4.1.x. See attached screenshot. A couple of language bits are duplicated with uppercase/lowercase. As you can see from the screenshot, even if I fill the contents of both of them and save, one of them doesn't save, so I end up with English phrases at the front-end, even though theoretically the phrases are translated. I don't know how to solve this. Thanks.

Hi. I loved the idea of this plugin. However, I don't use Mandrill as of yet. So, I have two questions: 1. Do you know of a plugin to handle bounces through IMAP/POP3, as we run our own servers? 2. If that doesn't exist, I can even consider moving to Mandrill just to automate this whole process. However, I have no idea of how much that would cost me because I don't know who many emails per month goes out of our current server, so it is a little bit tricky to budget this functionality. Since you have way more experience managing large forums, any input about this would be highly appreciated.

Sorry, I haven't see that Kirito is already managing a topic that has exactly what I was looking for... Therefore I am moving the discussion there: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/397051-pagespeed-web-server-module/ Admin/moderators can even delete this topic if they want. Thanks.

Had to disable defer_javascript today... A few users complaining that JavaScript-based features were not working for them (but working just fine for me).

After playing with this for a couple of hours, here is my current configuration: pagespeed EnableFilters defer_javascript,collapse_whitespace,combine_css,combine_javascript,elide_attributes,extend_cache,remove_comments,insert_dns_prefetch,lazyload_images,inline_javascript,local_storage_cache,outline_css,outline_javascript,prioritize_critical_css,rewrite_css,rewrite_javascript,rewrite_style_attributes,trim_urls; The option that gives the best result is defer_javascript. Especially on our forums, where we have several advertising banners running, this made the page load first, and then the banners. Fantastic results. However, this option generates a conflict with the >Lazyloader hook, and the images are shown as broken The solution was very easy: I disabled this hook and enabled the integrated lazy loader (lazyload_images). Additional comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

Hi, Following Dmacleo's advice, I installed ngx_pagespeed. Now I am stuck with how to configure it... There are too many options! http://ngxpagespeed.com/ngx_pagespeed_example/ Any suggestions of the options that will improve IPB load time and won't generate any kind of issue? Thanks, Gabriel.

Ops, yes, you are right... This was something I was playing with six months ago, now I remember... Sorry for bothering you and thanks for the clarification!
