  1. Note: There is a character limit for the short name field, but I'm finding inconsistent information on exactly what that number is because it can be different for Chrome or iOS, but err on the side of shorter. That said, Cheers & Gears does just barely fit... so for iOS, that limit might be ~14
  2. I like how the chat questions turned into questions here, but when there is a reply to the question, shouldn't the username of the question asker be in the header of the quote?
  3. I didn't realize forums were that popular with the rest home set.... but I've been running a forum since the WWIV BBS days. Eventually, the fix is going to be users upgrading their hardware. We can't and shouldn't expect IPS to hold back the entire suite just so a few users can keep using 10-year-old iPads. I don't think IPS should have reverted that code if it benefited the suite. If it has been several years since Apple has supported the device, there's no reason that IPS should be.
  4. Thank you @Marc Stridgen, @Matt and the IPS team for getting this update out to fix the date issue. I updated my site last night and was able to schedule embargoed content for 12:01 am.
  5. Do we expect a growth of the API to support the exiting applications like commerce and support tickets so we can interface better with other services?(Jump to the answer in the video)
  6. I understand. I see that in the Beta release notes. I am asking that IPS puts the details of such a removal of functionality in the release notes in the future, even if it is a temporary situation like this.
  7. Being told about that removal in advance would have been appreciated. I would have just skipped the latest update until it was resolved. The removal of the functionality if using forums for comments is not mentioned in the release notes.
  8. Yeah, I didn't realize how important this was to me until it was gone. I don't post as frequently as you do, but car show season is fast approaching and it's going to cause me major issues.
  9. Yes, when you're done, your forums will have the same URL they do now.
  10. I use SuperGrid and I'm on 4.7.8. No issues noticed.
  11. This is correct... a step that I had forgotten. This should be done immediately after you complete step 2. $INFO['board_url'] = 'https://mysite.co.uk/forums'; to $INFO['board_url'] = 'https://mysite.co.uk/';
  12. What you want to do is 1. Activate Pages and build your initial basic home page. This will put the url at something like mysite.co.uk/forums/articles(or)pages. Stay at this step until you're happy with what appears when you visit this URL. It will be your new homepage. Probably buy one of @opentype's excellent article and page template plug-ins if you intend to write articles. 2. Go into your file manager and move your entire IPS install + all subfolders down to the root folder for your domain (remove wordpress first!!!). This means everyting currently in your public_html/mysite.co.uk/forums/ folder needs to go to public_html/mysite.co.uk/ 3. Log into your IPS ACP and set Pages as the default app. Pages will now reside at mysite.co.uk, and your forums will reside at mysite.co.uk/forums. 4. Celebrate
  13. Did you just upgrade to PHP8 right before this?
  14. Yes, I know PHP 8.2 is not currently supported. I'm starting this topic for the eventual discussion and to possibly help IPS with support in the future. I moved my site to 8.2 this morning, and it seems to be running fine so far. I will log any errors or issues I spot in this thread.
  15. Does this mean there will be future publish date in Gallery eventually? (Hopefully?)
  16. Couple of things here. Without being able to see your PHP configs, I'm going to guess that they don't match from one version to the next. If you are using WHM/CPanel or some other control panel, you should be able to look through your PHP config on a version that works, print out all the PHP extensions it is loading and then make sure the 8.x versions have those extensions installed too. You'll want to make sure you include the same "Disabled PHP functions" line from the older versions of PHP as well. When you're done all of that and your site is running on PHP 8+, you'll need to go into your crontask and update the php version on the command line.
  17. Is it possible, and if so how, to elect not to renew an app at my next renewal date?
  18. The solution is to find another provider. There is a lot of competition in this space.
  19. This fact should have been in the release notes. I did read them knowing about the past dates issue, and it said nothing about losing the ability to schedule posts if comments were synced with forums. I upgraded and now I’m stuck. This was a failure on IPS’s part to fully communicate this change.
  20. If the comments on that article sync with your forum, you cannot schedule to publish in the future.
  21. Agreed. I was originally going to hold off on upgrading because of the backdating feature being an issue, but then they said they fixed it, so I proceeded to upgrade. But what wasn’t communicated was that we’d lose all scheduling options if we use the forums for comments which was a key selling point of IP.Content a decade ago. Scheduling of articles in the future is a key and core requirement of a CMS.
  22. Can confirm. After the latest upgrade, the publish date field is gone. arg! This is completely unacceptable. I get the reasoning for not wanting to be able to move it to the past with a forum involved, but future posting is a must. I only used the backdating feature occasionally, but being able to schedule content posts is an absolute must. I get embargoed content all the time that I am not allowed to post until some day/hour in the future (usually inconvenient, like 1 am or something) . Now you're saying I have to give up future content posting if I want comments to be in a forum? This worked fine for a decade and now you've taken it away. Please IPS... consult with your users before arbitrarily removing features!
  23. If anyone else finds this issue also. IPS found the bug and is releasing a patch in a future version.
