    Yes.  You keep your database on IPS cloud but.move all user attachments to S3.

    I don't know if there are still CDNs that are origin push only, but those would no be supported by IPS.
    In this particular case, the Google Cloud CDN imposes restrictions on the origin.  Not sure whether Google Cloud Storage is among the acceptable origins, though.

    Any CDN is already supported so half your request is already done.

    The Support Tool is complaining about the database structure. The support team solved the issue for me, and I am attaching the file to this post. The explanation is as follows:

    I recommended it too a while ago. Makes perfect sense to support these Twitter meta tags along with the ones Facebook looks for. Tweets with images are so much more likely to get clicks than just plain links. 
    If you can’t wait: it’s surprisingly simple to add it to certain templates. For example, I added this to my video database in Pages:
    {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['twitter:card'] = 'summary_large_image';}} {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['twitter:site'] = '@TypographyGuru';}} {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['twitter:title'] = $record->_title;}} {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['twitter:description'] = 'Watch this video in the collection of the best typography videos on Typography.Guru';}} {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['twitter:image'] = (string) \IPS\File::get( 'cms_Records', $record->record_image )->url;}}

    You should copy-and-paste any information from ACP > Support > Error Logs or System Logs which can help him diagnose much faster.

    Well, bought KS the other day and I have to say @Flitterkill I'm pretty impressed. I wasn't sure if I'd be that impressed but I am. For the sheer joy of changing my error page alone...

    Totally off topic.
    But I do think a Totalitarian vs Libertarian debate regarding the political leanings of certain plugins would be totally fascinating.  Like iAwards by @-RAW- is such a capitalistic pig for grossly incenticizing performance, or Account Deletion by @Adriano Faria is totally like the Anarchists who can destroy society.  Clearly a great political debate rages on in the Marketplace.

    Automation Rules does take some time to understand since it can be a fairly complex system, but within that complexity is a lot of power.  
    The basics:
    - First define your award in iAwards.  This means uploading the icon, writing the description.  You need to do this first before you can actually trigger the award in Rules.  
    - then define the rule in Automation Rule.  This means writing the event, conditions, and actions which trigger the award.

    KS 10 released:
    NEW! Option for a more compact star rating display and yes, you can still change the rating on the fly (if allowed) and the text will update. NEW! Move the follow button to where the other buttons are in topic and forum views. Support for other IPS apps too! NEW! Format the follow button to match the size and style of the standard IPS buttons!  NEW! Customize the error page with your choice of Font Awesome icon or swap it out for an image (animated if you like.) Many formatting options for the text displayed too. NEW! On topic view, add a time since last reply blurb that uses conversational language. Support for a number of non-English langauges available (ask in support topic). Star rating and follow can be found under the Global tab. Error page gets its very own tab. Last reply blurb is under the Forums and Topics tab.
    To the guy looking for topics with hidden responses, sorry, it didn't make the cut for this release. Also, for KS I'll just allow you to flag a forum where *ALL* the topics will have hidden responses. To have this feature available on a topic-to-topic basis I have to hit the database and I don't think I want to do that with this mod which at the moment has zero database involvement so I'll try to release a separate mod with that feature later on.
    Note on the follow button moving. For downloads and gallery, category views (or whatever they are called per app), the row of buttons where you would like to move the follow button to does not get built out unless the user has the ability to add a file or image. The rub is that the entire IPS template is constructed so that I can't get a hook into it to move the follow button. So for those apps you'll have to live with it until IPS fixes the templates (already asked) or I get really really bored for something to do and write a ridiculous chunk of jQuery to maybe possibly do it that way. FYI I think I have another leaner new follow button style inbound as well but the one provided should be fine for now.
    Oh, and if you elect to move the follow button but not change the style be aware that since the defualt follow button is not as tall as the regular IPS buttons it's gonna look a little strange alongside those other buttons. You may want to throw some css in your custom file to fix that however you feel like fixing it...
    And lastly, KS is getting so big I wonder if I'm under-pricing it. Max I'd bump it to is $15 and the renews are never going up (period). If I do bump it I'll give myself some wiggle room for future holiday sales and what not. Fair warning to those window shopping (not that a whole $5 is gonna make that much difference...). I might, I might not, eh...
    This is it short term for KS as far as new features go (pending that hidden response thing above probably) as I have to start finishing up the other five-or-so mods that are sitting here at 85% done.
    Here - have some screenshots of the new stuff:



     
    PS: Yes, the conversational style time formatting could be applied elsewhere in the suite and it is on the KS to-do list but the underlying jQuery has to get a pull request approved first to allow for turning on/off the initial prefix/suffix words otherwise it would say "last reply" everywhere which really looks silly when you see that spammed down the length of a column. 
    PPS: I think I have a cleaner, more ambient, follow button format inbound as well if you don't like the new full box style. Here:

    I like that better. I'll either swap it out for what is there now or make this another option.

    I've suggested this before myself, and it would be a helpful and visual indication of the difference in categories.  
    I used this feature to really customize my forums, and it really helped each forum board differentiate themselves.

    Worked with @ehren. tonight to track down some ipsfocus themes vs. KS problems.
    Short version: KS works fine with ipsfocus themes. There are occasionally some theme blips that pop up - if you run with ipsfocus stuff and have a problem just yell, the fix is almost certainly a tiny bit of css code in your custom.css to fix the problem (duplicate avatar in userbar is the one I encountered). Granted, as with any theme, once core elements have been moved or duplicated, plugins may no longer be able to hook in correctly to do what they need to do so you will need to expect some loss of functionality the more the theme has been altered away from the IPS default.
    However, as is the case with all IPS 4x stuff, you MUST keep your themes up to date. If you somehow are running 7 or 8 or more point versions behind since you updated your theme and your theme provider has provided updated themes - what's your excuse? 
    The problem site this evening was running a number of ipsfocus themes, two of which crashed when KS was active in the plugin list. With KS disabled those two themes resumed working. How and why? No idea. Hell, I have no idea how they functioned at all those themes hadn't been updated in months which is an eternity in IPS time. More power to you if those out-of-date themes still function on the latest versions of IPS but once you start adding on plugins on top of those ancient themes who knows when something is going to tip the theme system over the edge and crash out.
    KS 10 soonish.

    After jumping in to DangerDick's site a moment ago I realised I didn't alter the plugin description to alert people to this.
    So, FYI for everyone, be sure after installation, on the list of plugins in the acp, grab KS and drag it all the way to the top.
    The order of plugins does matter - it is the order in which they are built out, and KS does a lot of things. If you have KS on the bottom it may or may not break something enough to bork the site, not through any fault of it's own, but becasue a plugin above it is expecting x, y, or z and now it is not there, so the theme/site throws an error. The other reason is that KS may just over-write any changes a plugin above it has made, making it appear that that plugin doesn't work at all.
