    @Davyc You can combine both codes to make the icons more distinguishable.
    For example:
    nav .ipsNavBar_primary li[data-navext="Forums"] a[href="https://axendev.net/test"]::before {content: "\f015" !important;}

    Thanks for the feedback - it's definitely early stages. We'll be looking to improve performance as time goes on, as well as add functionality. There's only one codebase for both iOS/Android, but that is indeed (currently) separate from the main product. It's very much 'work in progress' right now 🙂

    Davyc reacted to opentype in Is it safe to delete these folders from the server?   
    That’s intentional and the lesser evil. Otherwise one folder will get all the images, which often leads to the situation that it can’t even be opened anymore—via FTP for example.

    Davyc reacted to Sonya* in Is it safe to delete these folders from the server?   
    These are folders where attachments are saved. You should never delete, move or rename them. If you do all you attachments become broken. Also uploads in Pages are saved there.

    Pretty sure it's not going to be that simple - what you are asking is for the "Content" of the first post, which is not included in the SQL query which results in the data available for the topic listing. "Content" becomes available when the topic is read.
    Why? Well, why return the "Content" of the topic when it's not needed? Think about the potential size of that data set if the "Content" was a 10,000 word essay.
    I reckon you're going to need a plugin which does the following:
    1) Parses the "Content", strips HTML, truncates it to X number of characters
    2) Adds that to the data set returned to the template
    3) Modifies the template to display the parsed content

    Used Invision Community in the Cloud for 3 months before we had to cease operations for our business.
    I would like to leave good feedback for Rhett, their Support and Cloud Manager. He was the one who answered almost all my support requests in a professional and prompt manner. Hats off to him.
    Will use Invision Community again for possible future endeavors.

    I don't think we need anything like 'Stories" in IPB, I still can't figure out what the Status Updates age good for!  My members seem to get confused and try to post regular posts in the status updates, they treat Blogs as regular posts instead of creating blog type posts...I'm sure stories would just be misused as well!  As a matter of fact, I wish there was a way to convert status updates and blog posts into regular threads, but that is a different topic!
    I strongly believe that forums need to COMPETE with social media but NOT BECOME social media!

    There's a few barriers here.
    The technical: to allow 'stories' to be posted, you'll need a fair bit of storage for the videos, you'll also need a queued system to take in raw video and transcribe it into a more friendly and compressed format which is beyond the reach for most self-hosted sites.

    The strategic. No one comes here to see what I'm up to. They come here for help with their Invision Communities, or they come here to post advice for others, or to learn how to manage their communities.

    Forums are discussion led platforms. The discussion is the star.
    Social media are people led platforms. The person is the star.

    Allowing random members to upload stories about what they're doing and so on cross-circuits the purpose of a discussion led platform.

    Social media is great at being social medial. Forums are great at being forums.

    Davyc reacted to Morrigan in Make warnings public   
    Okay, so I want to put this out there as a "for instance". If you do something dumb do you want EVERYONE knowing about it or only the people that have deemed the disciplinary action?
    I akin public notification of administrative/moderator actions to something of right of knowledge the only people that NEED to know are the reported person and the moderators/administrators. Anyone else that wants to know is a nosy ass Karen that needs to get her nose out of my ass.
    To put it more plainly. Just because Karen reports me doesn't mean she needs to know if I was reprimanded or fired. Its none of Karens business.
    To me you need to setup a better expectation for your members to not be informed of something like that. Its not their business and unless it involves harassment (which is a different circumstance and requires a different approach administratively but still doesn't require public ANYTHING). You need to make a clearer line there IMHO.

    Edit: I realized another point against this. Public notification of staff actions is a fear tactic. Its a way to scare people into abiding. Certainly not the best way to grow a community.

    Yes, that is what is weird though...my light and dark theme are both default however, I created the dark theme around beta 8 so it is probably different than the beta 1 light theme.
    Thanks for the help @Davyc

    Davyc got a reaction from RocketStang in after upgrading to 4.5 beta 8 issue in logo   
    OK add this to your custom.css file:
    #elSiteTitle, #elLogo { margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; height: 150px !important; } Change the height to whatever your logo height is, or a percentage thereof in pixels (don't use percentage sign %).
    The margins can also be adjusted to suit - just gives the logo a little breathing room.

    Davyc got a reaction from Joel R in 4.5 Beta 5 - Page Builder: Text Widget   
    That option exists with WYSIWYG rich text editor option in the Pages list of options - the problem with the WYSIWYG is that you don't have the finite control that you have with the text box as it is limited in scope; the text box removes those limitations, but with a caveat - you need to understand code.  It's really not difficult once you grasp the basics and the more you learn the more creative you can become.
    I can understand your frustration - but turning it into a WYSIWYG edit would just be a duplication of what's already there.  I doubt very much that the advanced options can be applied to the WYSIWYG as it is based around the CKEditor and that doesn't have the options you're looking for, unless there are additional plugins that will allow more control.  I would say that was the whole point of creating the text box so that more finite control could be exercised that the WYSIWYG could not provide for.

    You can but it's a faff as you need to edit the image when you go into the bio of the person look under the media tab and click on profile; I used this as an example, but make sure that you can actually get a decent image of the person before you delve into the guts of the site.


    If you click on the + in the circle you can add an image.  It's a tricky move to get to this but give it a go.  I've done it and it works 🙂

    You could potentially change what happens inside each entry to deal with the pictures in a different way. That won’t interfere with the masonry layout.

    Davyc got a reaction from sobrenome in Our Picks change number of columns   
    That sounds like a lot of work and probably not worth the effort. It's a shame that it's laid out this way without any settings for preference.  The images I'm using are movie poster images and need a little extra space in the length department and a lot less space in the width, otherwise messing with the image sizes makes them gargantuan and somewhat pixelated.
    Thanks for taking the time to reply and point out the work needed to make it fit - I'll take your advice and leave well alone 🙂

    I love the new text box as it allows you to get creative.  Yes, you need to have a grasp of HTML and CSS but it's really not that difficult and there are loads of generators online to help you get the look you want.  I created a simple box with a welcome message inside - this:

    The HTML part is:
    <div class="box">Welcome to Movie Buffs</div> And the CSS part is:
    .box { font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; text-align: center; font-size: 36px; color: #FFF; font-weight: bold; line-height: 100px; background: rgb(103,9,121); background: radial-gradient(circle, rgba(103,9,121,1) 0%, rgba(61,91,175,1) 47%, rgba(103,9,121,1) 100%, rgba(0,212,255,1) 100%); } The CSS goes into the Advance section below what is already there. I also removed all of the padding using the drop down controls.  It's a really nice way to get creative.
