UncrownedGuard

I tried creating a cloud beta but I just get "Error code: EX6". A configuration or server error has occurred

I'm not sure if it is part of the Beta testing or if anyone has played around with it, but I am quite curious as to how Zapier is involved with IC5. I'm assuming it has not been removed, but I am at a loss on how the formatting will go now that HTML support has been dropped for the editor. I played around with the test site a bit and it does not appear to offer Header or list support on markdown nor does it seem to handle paragraphs well. Obviously, I am making huge assumptions as I do not have a Beta site running and I have no idea how Zapier will be integrated, but I was hoping for some more information.

As of right now, if Zapier is used to create an item, it can almost do everything. In fact, it can do all sorts of neat things like setting IPs and statuses that I didn't even know were in the software, but oddly it cannot fill in Meta Keywords or the Meta Description on the pages app. The only other fields it cannot seem to utilize are upload fields and I can write that off as a technical thing, but the Meta Fields are just text-based. Maybe I have missed something? But with how great AI is for meta details, I feel like this is a lacking option.

I have tried enabling/disabling the login method via my Admin CP. I signed out via my site and signed by into the Facebook connection. And I signed out of Facebook on my site and also removed the site as an app in my Facebook settings for a clean link and while I can login with my account, the picture still does not load. No logs were generated in IPS and no errors given via the login process. EDIT: If I try to set my Facebook profile picture as my account image, I get an error of "The profile photo URL is invalid" on the page, but no log in the admin CP.

The only system log I can find about this matter (nothing was generated when I resynced today) is this one from 5/8: There was a token or something in the backtrace, so I put "REMOVED ID" in that spot as I don't know if it was sensitive or not.

Hello, I use Facebook Login on all of my sites, but one is giving me trouble and I actually have no idea why or what to do at this point. Uncrowned Gaming is the site and the setup and app are mirrors of my other sites. Apps like this are not an item I am very good at. Facebook is saying they are getting an error message during the testing and I cannot reproduce an error. However, this site does have an issue where it does not pull the profile image correctly. This is the message from Meta: Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

These changes look really good! I am super happy to see the sticky toolbar and the embedding will be a great addition! Plus, that means my custom Pages pages will now embed like everything else on the site. I do have a question, will the embedding be editable in the editor? Most importantly resizing things like YouTube embeds and potentially allowing users to make embedded links into squares, rectangles, etc? Also, will this hopefully fix YouTube links posted via Zapier to be auto-embedded?

I would love to see this. Just turn it off by default and let admins turn it on and figure out how it works right on their own.

You might want to check the log for Uncrowned Addiction as it happened today. I know it is abnormal, but I would never expect a perfect system and this mitigation seems pretty simple.

I just logged onto my Cloud site here and found the entire news database and all my "pro" features were missing. Basically, all the content of my site was MIA. I logged into my admin panel and just needed to refresh the license key and everything worked perfectly fine. However, the problem is that this just seemed to be a simple connection issue that I normally would not find as odd by any means, but the outcome is devastating to a site as it basically means all traffic and even all of our AdSense grinds to a stop as soon as the connection issue occurs. Not to mention all the errors it will create in Google for the content's indexing. How about a simple 24-hour warning "Hey, your key is expired or missing and your features will soon be disabled". This would allow any admin to log in and see what the problem is. A delay seems like a practical solution that would safeguard my site from IPS Cloud issues that I cannot prevent on my end and would still pull features from people who simply didn't pay. I highly doubt the number of users that would abuse it to get a free 24hrs is any reasonable number compared to the potential to damage all cloud customers.

Don't want to bring up an old topic, but this is the exact issue I am now having on both of my cloud communities. Guest's have no posting permissions, but I do have "Post Before Registering" allowed. Guests are currently able to post replies to topics and send them for approval. Guests are shown this message "You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.", but when they add an email and submit the reply, it pops up that the post was sent for moderation approval and no registration form appears.

If we could just take that little catcha box and place it in the site offline wrapper, it would likely be an acceptable integration for most sites. Give us the site name and a style of box that matches IPS's layout and it would improve multitudes times better.

Well I'm not seeing it anymore, so that seems better. But if you are talking about the look of it, then I don't know how to force it to pop up.

@Marc Stridgen yes, the change seems to fix some problems. But even as the admin I had to sit and wonder if I had some sort of malware when it popped up. A solution that can pull the page wrapper or at least some branding/formatting would be a huge step to improve this.

That is a very likely answer. It does have a terrible Amazon design look to it.

I just got an update from my monitors that my sites are reporting degraded service and long response times in numerous areas. I'd guess IPS is having server instability at this time and likely a DDOS given the catcha prompts. But of course, this is just with information I can pull from my own sites and no official notice from IPS. This is probably an automated system they have on play, but a automated notice for us would be an amazing feature.

On a side note, if it is a DDOS attack or something, they are doing a good job of keeping the sites up compared to the last few DDOS issues, but we really need communication or a notice system as just guessing is not a great experience for anyone. I'm okay with a system like this if it helps (granted, it really needs a redesign), but we need info as customers to when things are being turned on and turned off.

Ya, it does not appear to have a memory or anything of who is using it as I need to enter it multiple times in the same session now.

I have gotten it on my sites and here, so I would assume that it has been deployed to everyone. I have no news or information to share about it, but the design looks like a Google spam ad and that is pretty bad IMO. Hopefully, it is just temporary due to a DDOS attack, but we never get that kind of information.

Ya, I remember IPS.Chat. I loved it, but the per-user plan thing was kind of strange. I do feel like being able to pull features from live topics to use in other ways would greatly improve the product as I personally have little use for the package as is.

Would love a chat box like the one used in Live Topics, but just as an independent block we can place on a page. Otherwise is looks like a lot of nice changes!

Ya, I can second that today has been a poor day for the servers.

I would also get behind the share topic button having the topic link without needing to click the more button. Just like the share comment button includes the comment link with the share icons. I doubt it would make much of a long-term difference, but I don't really see a reason not to support it. Mostly due to the action being the same for mobile layouts and an easy-to-copy link starts to become a bit more important with mobile users and terrible mobile browsers.

Everything looks awesome so far! One thing that I would love to see addressed with the notifications in IC5 is a better link between the actual notification menu (the red bubble where you can see a quick list of your notifications) and the little popup on the screen you get a notification while viewing the site. Currently, if you click that popup box, you get taken to the item in question (great feature), but it does not clear out the notification in the menu bar. A minor issue, but it does lead to some redundancy in the user experience. E.G., if Matt was on when I quoted this post of his and he clicked that pop-up box on the bottom of the screen to see the quoted message, the notification tray would still show him that he has an unread quoted post even though that would no longer be true.

That is great to hear!! It is mostly getting the Zap to trigger. Let's say I post a webinar on the community calendar for June 10th, 2024. The current setup will fire the Zap as soon as the event is added (let's say today) and that isn't exactly ideal. Now I need to add more steps to the Zap to try and schedule the further steps for 7 months from now. The only way I found to do this with success is to have the Zap schedule the tasks in either a spreadsheet or a social media manager, but now it will not accept edits to the event. So, if I change the start time, the Zap has already fired and is not going to process the changes to wherever it went. If I wanted the change based on a group change in my community, yes. But I cannot flip that and have my community make a change based on something else. We only get an Update Member action and that is just a few options (name, email, password). I can add/remove secondary groups, but it a fairly limiting in potential.
