Closing the loop on this one - Michael has uploaded an MP3 file in downloads and was trying to use that as a remote link in a forum post. The link to the listing, in Downloads, is what was being used in a forum post - its structure is as follows: https://site.com/files/file/1-name/ That definitely won't work, as it isn't a link to the file but a link to a page from which the file can then be downloaded. So, check the 'Download this file' button and the URL is... https://site.com/files/file/1-name/?do=download&csrfKey=stuff Now that...that can be used as the URL in an audio/video tag (tested, works) but the problems are as follows: The csrfKey is unique to the person downloading the file - one person's csrfKey in a URL will not work for someone else. RESULT: no download There is no way, from the URL alone, to tell if the file is an audio file or a video file, so no idea which player to show No way to determine, from the URL alone, which category the file is in within Downloads (in case you wanted to only make files in a specific category 'embeddable' Number 2 & 3 are potentially items I can figure out but I don't use Downloads, nor do I have a need for it, so I can't develop for it as I can't see its code - and at $75 to add it, with a $10 renewal, it is not something I am going to spend money on. Maybe at a later point, yes...but at this time, no.

Literally what it says...Downloads has a descriptions fields. Any file attached there can be displayed in the player - it was added ages ago for someone, can't remember who. Here was the release information for it, with the use case at the time: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/441703-ne-html5-audiovideo-player/page/8/?tab=comments#comment-2782406 You haven't shown me the link that you are trying to use - this helps me understand what you have to play with. Really wish you had asked if this was suitable for your use case before you had purchased it.

Default theme - if they have a different theme after logging in then the best person to ask that question of would be the owner of the site.

I believe that is then treated as a remote link (I wouldn't expect that it would be then 'attached' elsewhere - I would expect it to be linked) - not a Downloads user, so you'll have to educate me here. If it is linked, then it comes down to the end of the URL....if the end is .mp3 (or any of the other audio/video extensions configured in the plugin), then you are golden as long as the place you've then linked it is supported by this plugin. If it' But if the URL doesn't end in that (Let's say it's http://stuff.things.com/file.mp3.khsdkjhsdhakdhj83838382893) then it won't work. So..educate me...described exactly what it is you are doing, and where you are adding the file after you have uploaded it to Downloads, and what the file name (after upload) or the linked URL is. Working as intended, yep. The settings of the plugin have a number of places which are supported for being able to display the player.

Or the 'tonnn' of users have chosen to disable their PMs. @breatheheavy How many is a 'tonnn', exactly?

Then change the forum when you split the post...

Update on this one - got it working nicely IN_DEV, exactly as I want it to be....allows IPS code to do its thing, then I steam in and change the quote to either expand it or change the number of lines displayed from the hardcoded 7 lines. Stick it on a test site and the order in which things take place is different....my code goes first, then IPS steams in and s**** all over what I've done...the gits. Trying to figure out a way to monitor for IPS completing its thing, and wait for it to complete, before I then do my stuff.

Posting this with Adriano's OK - my plugin (linked below) provides the ability for admins to exclude groups from being mentioned however it doesn't provide the ability for a user to exclude themselves from the listing. Adriano has given me the OK to take a look at adding that functionality to my plugin - in the event that I can add it in then I will include a check for the existence of Adriano's plugin and work on a migration process to move the settings over to mine.

What's new/fixed in v3.1.2? (currently pending approval) NEW: Ability to limit the number of replies/comments shown in a topic/database record, if using the 'Hide all content' functionality. NEW: Content within an embed is hidden if the embedded post is in a forum where the viewer is not allowed to view that content. FIX: Hiding of content in a topic's search results is no longer erroneously tied to enabling the 'Hide content in a topic's first post' setting.

Thank you - I'll take a closer look later today.

All I see there is the 'Search results' tab - you're going to have to show me all your settings, please. I'll test it out here once you've popped those up for me to see.

Hiding content in search results was added in v3.1.0, and a further fix added in v3.1.1 - what isn't working for you? Screenshots help.

That's not an error...that is informational. Look at the 'How to install' instructions... How to Install ThreadStarter: Core has to be installed for the ThreadStarter plugin to work! So, install it...

You've mentioned this twice - are you sure about that? Reason I ask is the truncate functionality looks like it is applied with JS, via ips.ui.quote.js, at the time of post display: /* Set the event handler for opening/closing */ elem.find('> .ipsQuote_citation').on( 'click', _toggleQuote ); elem.find('> .ipsQuote_contents') .addClass('ipsClearfix') .attr('data-ipsTruncate', true) .attr('data-ipsTruncate-type', 'hide') .attr('data-ipsTruncate-size', '7 lines') .attr('data-ipsTruncate-expandText', ips.getString('expand_quote')); I've sussed out how to play with the above but if this somehow controlled via a theme template then I'd love to know which one so I could take a closer look at it for something I'm working on to assist with this 'issue'

Yeah, this is doable. I'm going to play around with some other things that can be done with the quote too - might look into building it into https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/9023-ne-ignore-quotes/ and giving it a rename to "(NE) Quote enhancements"

I'm off out...try to navigate yourself to the following URL: admin/?app=core&module=overview&controller=files&do=configurationForm&id=1 And then modify the field that contains the 'Directory' If you cannot do the above, then either: 1) Search in phpmyadmin for the path you currently have or 2) Log a ticket with support.

What I am trying to guide you through - if I can see what you see then I can see if you are doing what I am suggesting, just to be sure.

Screenshots help...and include urls

Click on this entry - anywhere on it, not just on the options on the right: This is the end result of clicking that actual entry, then modifying the field labelled 'Directory' (yes, it will look different because of your lack of CSS, I know)

Click the entry....it opens up to an edit form...modify the path...save If you've already done the above, then tell us what you have already tried to save us wasting our time. If you really want to dive in to the database, phpmyadmin allows you to do a search

Pride is a horrible thing. Anyway...try clicking the highlighted item and look around...

OK - I'll take a look at it over the weekend, and will upload to the MarketPlace if/when done.

I'll do this but only if you promise to stop claiming that the useful collapsing of the quote is the worst thing in the world ever, and if you stop centering all your posts 😉
