Hi,

I wish we had a way to specify the order of the databases displayed in the Search and in the +Post features of the community. Currently, there is no way to specify the order we want them to be displayed, so they are listed according to the primary_id_field. I wanted to change the order, so the most used/popular databases are listed at the top and the least used/popular are listed at the bottom of these lists. Examples:

In these two places, I wanted to change the order of the databases.

Proposed solution

A new 'order' field in the databases.

In the ACP > Pages > Databases screen, the databases would have the drag & drop reordering feature that is present in several other places in the ACP (e.g. ACP > Pages > Blocks).

Wherever in the front-end that databases are to be displayed, they would follow the same order set in the ACP.

I hope you can implement this.

Cheers,

Gabe

Thanks @Marc Stridgen! Here we go:

Hi,

Two questions regarding the search option:

1. Is there a way to change the order of the Pages database in the list of avaliable places to do a search? See below. It seems the databases are listed based on their ID (primary_id_field). We want to change the order, to place the most popular databases on top and the least popular at the bottom of the list.

2. Is there a way to disable the "Pages" option(Páginas in our translation, see above) from being listed? Because it is the first option and for us it doesn't make sense to leave this option available, as our static pages has little to none value for searches. I know that we can disable each database from being feature in this menu, however I am not being able to find a similar option for static pages.

Thank you in advance.

@Sonya* Thanks for the prompt reply. It worked like a charm! 🏆

Hi,

With article in pages, the platform automatically creates the description meta tags based on the article contents. In our databases, we have a custom field with a summary that could be better used as description. Is there a way for us to use that field instead of the default behavior? If not, that is a suggestion that I leave for a future version. Ditto for the keywords fields.

Note: I know that I could adjust this manually using the SEO editor. however we have thousands of articles, using this editor is simply insane.

Thanks.

@Hisashi No. This is an issue that IPS is already aware of (see previous posts).

Hi,

If I create a child theme  in the ACP, this theme shows out of order at the front end. See below the theme "Bravo 6 - tema escuro - Avatar quadrado".

Thanks.

Thanks @Marc Stridgen! It was, in fact, the anonymity option, which I couldn't find, as in order to reach the page where it is located, one needs the user's password! 🙂

@Marc Stridgen Please try the following IDs:

39710

39658

39597

(Note: at the moment we use a plugin that adds the usergroup at the header of each comment, however, with this plugin disabled, the same issue happens, as shown in the screenshot).

@Marc Stridgen My second thought, after caching, would be the anonymous login. However, I am not being able to find this option/setting to check it out. Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.

Hi,

One of our moderators is complaining that his name doesn't show up in the online user list widget when he is online. I tried using the "Sign in as" option available in the ACP to pretend to be that moderator, and in fact, his name wouldn't show up in the list. However, I tried sign in as other moderators, and it worked fine: the username would show up in the list. Then I stumbled upon another moderator that, when trying to sign in as him, his name wouldn't show up in the online user list as well.

I have no clue on what is going on or how to start debuggin this. I tried removing and adding the widget, and clearing the system caches, at not avail.

Please advise.

Cheers,

Gabriel.

Hi,

On mobile devices with lower resolution, in the comments of the report section, if the moderator name is too long, the ellipsis overlaps the reputation counter/moderator name. See screenshot below.

Note: screenshot taken using the default, unedited IPS theme.

Thanks!

@Matt

One new suggestion:

Disallow: /discover/content-started/

@Stuart Silvester In our case,the reviews are only enabled in two databases in Pages: books (which lists our books) and courses (which lists our online courses). Maybe an option in Pages to select the kind of property, i.e. a setting that we can select the proper property (e.g., Book https://schema.org/Book or Product https://schema.org/Product), depending on the kind of database we have. I believe this would fix the issue. Just an idea. Because right now the platform lists everything as Article.

Hi,

After the improvement in Review microdata added in version 4.6.8, Google is now complaining about this:

Invalid object type for field "itemReviewed"

Sample URL: https://www.clubedohardware.com.br/livro-redes-de-computadores

Where:

"aggregateRating": {
        "@type": "AggregateRating",
        "reviewCount": 5,
        "ratingValue": 4.8,
        "bestRating": "5"
    }

If you run this URL at https://search.google.com/test/rich-results, you will see the same error being pointed out.

Please advise.

Cheers.

Hello,

In the email template "Reported content notification", the following part:

{$email->language->addToStack("go_to_this_x", FALSE, array( 'sprintf' => array( mb_strtolower( $email->language->addToStack( $report::$title, FALSE ) ) ) ) )}

Should be replaced with:

{$email->language->addToStack("go_to_the_report", FALSE)}

Explanation:

With the default code, the button "Go to this report" that is present in the email is created based on the go_to_this_x language string. While in English this works fine, in other languages it creates two issues:

1. "this" can be either a male or a female word, depending on the noun. So we end up with a gender mismatch in this particular case.

2. In English, the word "Report" can be either a noun or a verb. However, in other languages, the noun and the verb corresponding to "report" may be different.

In summary, in Portuguese, we end up with "Ir a este Denunciar", while the correct form would be "Ir à esta denúncia".

The fix is very simple, however, as the platform already have this phrase in its correct form as go_to_the_report.

So simply replacing one key by the other solves the issue.

Thanks! 🙂

Hello,

I've just noticed that in our install, going to ACP > Customization > Emails, a few email templates, instead of displaying a name, are displaying a language key. It seem these strings are missing from our install for some reason. I don't know if this is only affecting our install or this is affecting all IPS installs.

The missing strings here are:

emailtpl_emailNoWrapper

emailtpl_notification_new_badge

emailtpl_notification_new_recognize

emailtpl_password_reset_forced

emailtpl_unsubscribeStream

emailtpl_notification_mine_solved

emailtpl_activity_stream_subscription

emailtpl_notification_new_rank

emailtpl_notification_my_solution

emailtpl_notification_keyword_used

Please advise!

Cheers!

@Chris AndersonThanks, buddy! Kind of hidden!

Hi,

I can't find a link to the "release notes" that used to be available in the navigation bar.

New 4.6.8 version is out there and I want to share the release notes with our staff members.

Cheers! 🙂

Quick update: the link is https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/

It seems it is available only inside the Client Area. So, this is more a suggestion to add this link here in the community as well. Please move this topic to the suggestions forum. Thanks.

@Matt Following up our conversation about the excelente upcoming Robots.txt feature, the new, updated tutorial on Robots.txt is excelent, as it has several lines that we didn't have in our robots.txt. However, we ended up with a few lines that we have added in the past that we want you opinion/feedback on:

Disallow: /notifications/
Disallow: /tags/
Disallow: /checkout/
Disallow: /subscriptions/*/?do=purchase
Disallow: /index.php?*
Disallow: /*?app=*
Disallow: /*/?do=download
Disallow: /*?do=email

Note: we have the tags feature disabled.

Should we keep them? Should we remove them? What is your opinion?

Thank you in advance! 🙂

Just a follow up: the block that I am seeing the issue is an old third-party plugin called "General Statistics", which is no longer available, and is clearly "buggy". Sorry for having bothered you guys with this! I could swear that this was a built-in  IPS block. Thanks!

Many thanks @Marc Stridgen

Hi @Marc Stridgen I've already answered this... EVERYTHING in our setup is set with the Brazilian timezone. If there were something wrong in our setup, the date/time in the "Last registered user" block would be incorrect all the time. As I'm explaining in this thread, that block is almost always with the correct date/time, but from time to time we see a "Last registered user" with a date/time in the future. Hence my opinion that the block is being cached with the timezone of the user who triggered the caching.

Is your computer/browser set to use UTC? https://webbrowsertools.com/timezone/

Opening this website showed that my computer is in the correct timezone (Brasilia time).

I wonder one possibility. Most likely that block is cached, and maybe the IPS code is caching the date/time present there based on the timezone of the user who triggered the caching, instead of using the server/website/platform's timezone.
