    Thanks for the reply.

    1) I meant choose which member groups can take a quiz (of my choice), not which member groups can take "any" quiz. 

    (i.e. there are some quizzes which perhaps you only want certain groups to be able to take and so on). 

    @Adriano Faria correct me if I'm wrong (don't use the app myself) but wouldn't your current permissions cover this requirement already. Simply, put the quiz in a category of its own and use the settings that Adriano showed above.

    • Forum plugin which will display a HTML5 audio or video player for audio/video attachments and/or remotely linked audio/video files.
    • Ability to enable/disable the player for audio or video or both (disabled by default, so effect will not be immediately seen on posts)
    • Ability to enable/disable the respective players from handling remotely linked audio/video files.
    • Ability to control the initial size of the video player so as to avoid 'large' videos pushing outside the post container.
    • Ability to include the original link, to act as a fallback for users with browsers which cannot either
      • display the HTML5 player or
      • play the audio/video file
    • Admin configurable list of audio/video file extensions.
    • Plugin is compatible with IPS 4.1 (tested with 4.1.19.4) and IPS 4.2 (tested with 4.2.5)

    Please note the following:

    • If you require support then please post in the provided support topic. Do not use PM and do not use the review functionality.
    • Plugin support does not extend to assisting you with adding support for playing a specific audio/video file/codec to your browser (Google is your friend in this situation)
    • Want to test your browser's ability to show a HTML5 player? Go here: https://tools.woolyss.com/html5-audio-video-tester/

    Questions:

    1. Why are you charging more than your usual $5 for your plugin?
      • Development of this plugin took longer than others, and I envisage future development and support will be time consuming too.
    2. Will the plugin be extended to work on other applications in the IPS suite?
      • I will try to develop it to work within the Pages application, however other applications will be more difficult due to me not owning licenses to use them. Never say never, but for now it's a 'No'

    I'm currently working on version 1.1 of this plugin - this new version will allow the admin to put multiple dice ranges in place, thus allowing different games to be created. Currently the plugin only allows one set of dice ranges only, so is limited to that.

    I've also spotted a bug with the use of 2 (or more) dice of the same type resulting in only one of those appearing in the result. Example: 1-2,1-6,1-8 will result in 3 dice rolling. But 1-6, 1-6, 1-6 will result in only 1 dice rolling. This will be fixed in version 1.1 too.

    Like your "Group Mention" plugin.

    I haven't developed a "Group Mention" plugin.

    Your request is outside of my intended scope of the plugin, really - the plugin was intended to enhance the list displayed as you type, and not to modify the functionality or look of the resulting mention. Additionally, the resulting mention is placed in via the ipsmention CKEDITOR plugin, and I have no plans at all to even attempt to modify that. If I do decide to put this feature in then it will not affect the look of the mention when it is viewed in the editor - but will affect the mention when the post is viewed instead (i.e. it will look normal in the editor, but would appear coloured when viewing the post)

    Viewing your site as a guest, looking at the blog poll you put up the other day:

    image.png.4fa371c0fcf4043aff3512923f2cb067.png

    Theory: guest cache settings = wait for the cache to clear so it works.

    It's because you are expecting this plugin to do something that it is not advertised as doing - it doesn't allow you to mention groups, it changes the look/content of the results of the default mention behavior, which is a user list.

    If you want a group mention plugin then:

     

    Asked via the review system (last time I will be responding to a question in there)

    Quote

    I did not understand what icons you can explain to me?

    What do the icons represent?

    As mentioned in the description of the plugin, they represent the options that have been chosen by the person in the list for their notifications. Inline, by default, is a bell (look at the top of this site....bell = notification list = inline) and email, by default, is an envelope (explains that, I think)

    Where do these icons come from?

    As per the settings, they are font-awesome icons. Refer to http://fontawesome.io/icons/ for the full list.

    If someone has inline notifications for mentions enabled then, by default, a dark bell is displayed (fa-bell) and if disabled then, by default, a light bell is display (fa-bell-o)

    If someone has email notifications for mentions enabled then, by default, a dark envelope is displayed (fa-envelope) and if disabled then, by default, a light envelope is displayed (fa-envelope-o)

    How do I change them?

    Use the plugin settings and replace the icon reference in the relevant fields. And don't leave off the fa- otherwise it won't display the icon....I may guard against that if people make the mistake too many times.

    version 1.0.4 released, fixes the following issues:

    1. Unable to save settings when 'Allow dice to be quoted' enabled
    2. Replying to a PM resulted in an 'Out of Range exception' when the plugin was enabled.
    3. Fixed issue with database prefix.

    Thank you - and it was indeed inspired by that topic. Had a little 'coding block' on another plugin and needed to change my thinking away from that one for a short while, so jumped on this as a test.

    I don't believe a review can be posted without purchasing, however.

    Apologies for lack of presence in the last few months - been 'off the grid' for a while due to personal issues.

    I'm a little behind the times with IPS versions now so just need to get my license renewed and get myself back in to the swing of things to refresh my head.

    No misunderstanding at all...

    In my experience, I wouldn't put PHP 7.x in place until after an upgrade as it has always resulted in issues previously for me.

    In your experience, it worked fine for you.

    The above shouldn't influence anybody's decision at all - the results of someone's own testing should influence it more.

    I have not completed one single successful upgrade with PHP 7 as the version before IPS4 is actually in place. All my test upgrades (I've done way too many at this point) that complete successfully are on PHP 5.x, none on PHP 7.x are successful.

    While PHP is suitable for running IPS 4.1, it may not be (I'd say "isn't") suitable for an upgrade from 3.4 to 4.1 at all.

    Suggestion: lower down to a PHP version that is supported with 3.4 then perform the upgrade (or even do the test change via phpmyadmin) Once done, go to PHP 7.0.x

    Where can I verify the URL?

    By looking at the URL, and determining what it (and other urls on that same site) starts with and determining the commonality between them. Then drop the http:// or https:// and BOOM...you've got the entry.

    I have not filled it, but it work....do you know why???

    Because you've entered it directly via the source method - works fine, and isn't controlled by that setting. But you're not going to be allowing everyone to use source mode, are you? So then you need to allow people to post certain urls...and that is what the setting is for. You then need to provide them with a method in the editor (ie a custom button) to allow them to use iframes.

     

    What exactly are you trying to achieve here, as I've a feeling this is going to go around in circles very soon. The above information has been covered a few times on here, and a search for 'iframe' should pull up any other informaton you need.

    No idea what it should be for you - what is the url of the items that you are trying to put in the iframes in your content? Does the URL start with http://jotform.com/embed? If so, then yes jotform/embed is what you need to put in there.

    What is the difference? Well, without it filled then you won't be able to out foreign URLs in iframes within your content. With it filled you will be able to put foreign URLs in iframes within your content - it's that simple.
