@Square Wheels and @liquidfractal the issue should be fixed now in 3.1.7

Thanks for your help @Millipede.  But I managed to isolate the cause of my site breakage: it is a conflict between @CodingJungle's Keywords and @Martin A.'s Minimized Quote plugin, which I have had to disable.

@Square Wheels, if you have this plugin installed that might be the cause for you as well.

what was the issue? @Martin A. is in a slack channel i troll, i can get with him to figure out  a solution.

Thanks...and I assume these error logs are available through Cpanel's WHM?  Or is there a straightforward way to check them (sorry...not a guru!)?

they should be,i don't use WHM very often so i am not too familiar with it (nor cpanel)

I am having the same issue.  It happened only after this update, no other changes had been made.

If you two find a solution, would you please post it here so I'll know too?

sure, if you could check your apache/php error logs, it would probably help in establishing what has caused this.

Thanks @CodingJungle - is it ok if I follow up on your site just to make things neat and tidy?  Or would PM/email be better?

which ever is better for you.

@CodingJungle It works in the default theme but doesn’t like the theme from Ehren’s IPSFocus... Chameleon

You will prolly have to do a manual replacement of the primary menu, as a lot of third party themes do heavy changes in the area, and there is no way to predict the types of changes. on most of these themes the other locations will work without issue.

I just updated keyword tooltips.  Now my entire site is inaccessible.  It worked fine immediately before the update, now I get a 500 or 503 error, this happened right after the upgrade.

Any suggestions?

I have a problem like this one.  Keywords was working fine until I upgraded from the last version to 3.1.6.  Now my site won't load - I get a blank screen for the homepage and there is absolutely no data in the page when I inspect the source (although I can still get to the adminCP).  When I disable Keywords, everything comes up fine again.

@CodingJungle, can you look in to this?  I love this app and it's important to my site. Thanks!

The only change i made that would effect anything globally was moving the JS from a theme hook into includeCSS to a code hook for front diispatcher. I am not seeing how that could cause this issue. I've tested it in several locations, including a rolling upgrade and did not run into any issue, so it would seem to be  a conflict with another plugin/app that also hos into the front dispatcher on the baseJS method.

if you could check your php/apache error logs, it would more than likely tell you the exact error. if you want you can send me the error in the logs via PM.

Two questions:

1. Keyword Tooltip: have you tested it with built-in acronym expansion feature? If the same word defined as acronym and keyword, what happens then?
2. Joel R has mentioned you here https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/448406-black-friday-cyber-monday-for-ips-marketplace-2018/?tab=comments#comment-2764457 participating on Black Friday action. Will you? 

 

1, yes i have, it supersedes the acronym's, so if you have an acronym and a keyword both with the same name, the keyword will win out.

2. yeah, just got late to the party 🙂 was thinking a black friday sale was gonna be on well, black friday or cyber monday 🙂

Menu Groups Manager

Hey there,

is the MGM pulling the theme from anywhere? I'm using a custom theme where the default menu is styled with CSS. Will the MGM look different from that or is it using the default classes of IPS?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

it uses its own classes. there are  a few different css files depending on what you are using.

block.css will control the look and feel of block menu types. 

mega.css will control how the mega sub menus will look.

traditional.css will control how the single column sub menus will look.

cjmg.css contains all the other styling.

there is also cjmg_custom.css that loads after all these to allow easily override the css rules in the other css.

Yeah, I can hook into specific classes but not the main one. For example I want to make all apps not save a point for the chosen reputation under certain circumstances. I'd have to go around making an hook on each class for each application I want to support. And I just can't go around adding support for any 3rd party apps 1 by 1. I could do it, but I won't. I'll use my time in better ways 🙂

have you tried telling the class to use the class method instead of the traits method? like:

trait FooTrait {
	public function bar(){
		return "hello, i'm a trait method!";
	}
}
class myhook extends HOOK_TEMP
{
	use FooTrait {
		bar as traitBar;
	}

	public function bar()
	{
		return "I am not the trait method!";
	}
}

i haven't tested this, but i can think of a potential problem or two.

Hi, does this application work on mobile devices? Are the links active?

i thought i had answered this on my site, but it doesn't seem to have been saved (will need to look into as why). i've replied there, but i will reply here as well.

yes it will work with mobile devices, it will be styled like links for your theme will. you can aslo style them differently using the class for css keywordUrl  (this is for keywords that are URLS) and keyword (this is for KW that aren't URLS).

it would seem you have an app installed that has a content router extension, but it doesn't have a container class (or it is missing the property for it).

i've put a check in the code to make sure this property is populated and/or the class actually exist before passing it to the form helper.

Yet a Joomla site that I have in another directory didn't show any such errors and opened fine, which makes me think it’s something to do the IPB installation.

My server was recently upgraded to use MariaDB and EasyApache 4, not that I know anything about either. Previously, I only had the PHP Selector, which is where I now switched to PHP 7; now I also have MultiPHP Manager, but I’ve no idea if I’m supposed to do something with this or not when switching PHP versions?

when i first activated php 7.2 on my cpanle/easyapache 4 server, it was missing the php-mbstring and php-mysql, and all i had to do was go rebuild it with the missing plugins and it worked fine, so i'd imagine it is something similar for you, as there are a few plugins IPS needs to run properly.

That said, PHP 5.6 is still supported on IPB 4.3, so I guess there’ll be others still using PHP 5.6. If more recent versions of MGM aren’t compatible with it, maybe the description should mention it?

 

I've gone ahead and rolled back to a early version of the codebase, before the php 7 syntax was introduced and then back ported the fixes (changing them to work in php 5.6 as well).  I will be releasing this shortly. 

most of my new stuff and new major versions for any of my apps will be written with php 7+ in mind. just a friendly reminder, php 5.6 and php 7.0 will reach EOL this december.

oh btw, don't go to php 7.3, as IPS's furl system doesn't work under php 7.3 (due to php 7.3 adopting pcre2, and the subtle changes in it).

Show Preview now works again, thanks.

However, I’m still getting these:

Admin error_log:

Is there a way to backup the menus and settings and later re-import them, so’s I can uninstall and re-install MGM in the hope a fresh new installation will work without all these problems? I really don’t want to have to keep restoring from a full backup just to get v.1.0.3 back... as it's the only version that works for me, (apart from the script being at the bottom in the wrong place).

what version of php are you on? MGM was developed using the new features of php 7.0+.

there haven't been any DB changes, you can just install the last working version over the new one.

Further more, my moderators report, that if a member gets regularly warned via the native IPS warning system (temporary ban as well as indefinite ban), the banned members are still able to go on chatting (while they are banned in the rest of the community and can't use other apps/functions).

check the rooms perms, does the banned group have permissions to use babble? if they don't and this is still possibly, i'll dive a bit deeper into what could be causing this.

MGM V.1.0.4

Well, that was a bit of a disaster, I’m afraid...

The good news is that the MGM errors are gone.

The bad news is that the widget blanked the forum.

I tested the widget: it was blank, with just one word: “Error”, and it had no close button. When I closed the sidebar block manager, the forum went blank with an empty white page. Clearing caches didn’t help.

If I disabled the app, the forum came back (albeit with the primary menu).

System Logs showed:

ErrorException: Method IPS\cjmg\widgets\cjmg::__toString() must return a string value (4096)

The error_log in the root of the forum showed:

The error_log in the /admin directory showed:

As I couldn’t get the forum back without a blank white page as well as use MGM, and I don’t have time to remove v.1.0.4 and re-install v.1.0.3 and restart the whole menu from scratch, I restored the forum from a backup with v.1.0.3 instead as it was quicker.

Luckily, this was on my test forum.

 

the error was caused by the selected menu group being empty, its been fixed and wont throw an error now.

I also moved the footer menu group placement to a place above where the JS is rendered to fix the other issue you had report.

Sorry, I’ve got another possible problem...

I’ve got Themes > Edit> Custom > “Javascript include location” set to “Just before /body tag”.

However, despite this setting, GMetrix is giving me a poor F rating for “Defer parsing of JavaScript”. When I try to investigate why, I see in the source code that there’s this HTML immediately above the closing body tag and below all the javascript:

<div class="cjmg_container"></div>

Might there be a way to fix this please?

i'll check this out, they should be right after the body tag and before the close body tag. might need to check out the theme hook config for them, make sure they didn't accidentally get moved or changed.

 Finally, the statement, "MGM will attempt to remove the IPS default menu navigation, this isn't always a guarantee ..." kind of scares me. Does this mean the default navigation is gone, or just isn't visible but could be easily reversed?

 

it doesn't alter anything on a permanent basis. if you were turn on the setting, it would attempt to remove the HTML associated with the default menu manager found in IPS from the theme at compile time, if you turned it off/disabled MGM or removed MGM your default navigation would return without any issue. (this description actually exist cause of my experiences from CJ Menu and ProMenu for 3.x. a lot of third party themes will change the class names for the css so the hook doesn't work, or will remove the default HTML for the menu, to replace it with something that they created or pulled off something like code canyon. it is why MGM doesn't attempt to replace the default menu like CJ Menu and ProMenu before it had done).

The price has been reduced from $300 to $35, which is great, but I would have paid way more than $35 to have an in-place help file, FAQ or tutorial video. And in retrospect, I shouldn't have purchased it at all without a help feature. The time I've spent just today jerking around with MGM all but eliminated the difference in cost, right out of the gate.

I will redo some of the tutorials videos this weekend for MGM. they can take a few hours to produce, so there isn't a whole lot of incentive to do them when they only get viewed a handful of times. but you are right, there are plenty of features and abilities of MGM (like CJ Menu) that need better explanation. My PM's are always open for questions and assistance if you have any questions or issues however.

FYI, the $300 price tag for CJ Menu is cause not everyone who bought CJ Menu has been transferred to MGM (many wont till CJ Menu stops working or has issues with new versions of IPS, considering i had a client just a few weeks back, who began noticing some style issues, was still running like cj menu version 2. i'm gonna say it might be awhile before a lot of purchasers of CJ Menu notice there is a new, replacement for it). so since i can't disable new purchases, and people still have access to the download to see the description, i set the price to a high value so there aren't any accidental purchases of the app (as it isn't actually supported any longer). 

so like if you have any question or need assistance with anything in MGM you can let me know here or send me a PM. I'll set some time aside to begin working on a new tutorial video on some of the more advanced features.

can you be a bit more specific? if you are talking about a groups settings, go to the group, and you will see a button that says "manage group", click on this and choose "edit" to edit the various options for a group. you can then select where to position it, there are several predefined locations to place a group.

Is there perhaps some way of fixing it for n2a?

not sure of the rationale behind why they hide them at these resolutions, could have undesired results (as n2a just hijacks the url for the avatar, so there aren't actual theme/css changes for where they are displayed).

however you can try this, i haven't extensively tested this, so i don't know all the end results it could have, but you can override the css class that is causing this. add this to your custom.css for your theme:

@media screen and (max-width: 1200px)
{
    .cForumRow .ipsDataItem_lastPoster li:first-child {
        display:block;

MGM

I recently bought this too

Whenever I open the block manager on the forum home page, I always get the following system error. It only happens on the main forum page, not on other pages.

It's on IPB 4.3.4 having recently been upgraded from 3.3.4. My system logs are filled with this error whilst I install stuff and test out blocks and widgets. Is this a bug in the app or have I got something wrong somewhere?

On a side note: in the Permissions tab, what is “Use DB Perms”, assuming “Use Apps Perms” is whatever perms are for the app the menu is linking to, and assuming “Manual Perms” overrides both the DB and Apps Perms?

seems to be a bug in MGM, i'll see what is causing it and release an update when i find it.

if you select a CMS page for the link, you can set it to use the DB permissions, the ones you set for the database (its the view permission it will check against). if you set it to use "app perms", it will follow the ones that are set for the application in system->application. and yes, manual perms will override all them, but if they can't see the app or the db due to db perms, you will just have a menu item that takes them to an error page ?

Sorry to be a nuisance...

It all seems to work fine via my desktop browser. 

How might I be able to fix this, please?

doesn't appear to be an issue with n2a (i don't have it installed here on my dev). seems to be an issue with IPS responsive and the resolution scaling:
