    It works. Favicons are heavily cached by the browsers. Reloading a page doesn’t refresh them if they were changed.

    The prefix is added to the title and that can be helpful for users and SEO. For example: a prefix could define the type of topic, e.g. “Question”, “Feature request”, “Bug report” or specify other details. For example, let’s say I have a forum about Adobe products. I could give users the choice to put “Photoshop”, “Illustrator”, “Premiere” and so on in the title, so users will instantly know which app the topic is about. All that being said: I don’t use prefixes on any of my sites. While there are these benefits, it requires users to use the system correctly and that is rarely the case. So it might do more harm than good. But that would depend on the community and the tags setup.

    Yes. A topic cannot exist without the original post. You might want to reconsider whether you allow members to delete their posts. Usually it is best to only allow “hiding” and personally, I even only allow that for VIP members.

    This plugin also has the option to remove that entire column without template edits.

    I do on this site: https://www.typografie.info It’s a Pages page with blocks, not the Pages database index for those articles. There is a little more flexibility this way.
  6. opentype
    It’s how the framework works. Blocks are added to “pages”, not “content items”. Just like you don’t add specific blocks to a single forum topic. A store product falls in the same category. What you are asking for is probably better achieved through a theme customization (plugin). You could add your (for example) videos as a custom product field (if you need it separate from the product description) and then change the product view template to add a column where your custom product fields will show.

    I guess it could be used this way, but it will only show “records”, so you would have to create a new database where the records represent your categories. Not sure that’s a good idea unless it solves something that couldn’t be done with categories normally.

    I’m 99% on Macs, so how do other operating systems deal with PDFs these days? I generate IPS invoices almost every day. I open them in the ACP, then click CMD + P to print them (for my bookkeeping which I have to store for 10 years) and from the very same dialog window I just click on “Save as PDF” to create my digital copies.
  10. opentype
    Well, the logic works, but the mentioned products create grid child elements with each loop, so throwing ads in there at random points will probably break the layout. So the IF query would also need to end the grid container first and potentially start a new one after the ad.
  11. opentype
    Yes. If you just cut off the content field, you can cut off HTML tags and brake the page. But you can shorten the truncated text.

    The email settings either work or they don’t. If verification emails are only sometimes not coming through, then they are likely treated as spam by the receiving email provider. You can look into improving your deliverability by looking into things like SPF/DKIM/DMARC… records and there are lots of “mail server test” tools which help you with this. You send a mail to them and they tell you what looks problematic and could use improvements.
  13. opentype
    It is not possible. (Foster’s app only works if Pages is already the default app. So you can only change between different pages, not other parts of the suite like forums, profile pages and so on.)

    You could buy one or more of my other products, even if you have no immediate use for them. That would work equally well. 😉
  15. opentype
    I don’t think what you ask for is possible. The sale discount only applies to single additional products. If you put in a 9, it means your 10th item will get a discount. And then the customer has to buy 20 items to get 2 discounted because he hits the 2 times 9 threshold.
  16. opentype
    Firstly, please remove that larger chunk of code. That’s commercial software I sell. It should not be republished publicly. And to answer your question: unfortunately not. IPS’ function to get topic images doesn’t give access to a thumbnail. Otherwise I would have already done that.
  17. opentype
    Seen this?

    What you can do: Make sure RSS feeds for recent downloads are turned on in the Downloads settings. (If you need more control: Create a new stream and use the RSS feed there). Register with a service like IFTTT. Connect your Twitter account. Use a “RSS to Twitter” module, so every entry from the RSS feed is posted to Twitter.
  19. opentype
    By the way: You can set the store product so it can only be purchased once. That prevents these kind of purchases. Unfortunately, it creates new problems. If someone lets the invoice expire without paying, they can never buy the product again. IPS never solved this issue.
  20. opentype
    With the stock options, that’s not possible in a sensible way I would say. A custom block with custom MySQL query would be needed. Unless you structure the content itself, e.g. by putting all “A” entries into an “A” category. Then you can easily show entries from that category.
  21. opentype
    Yes, but you should rather identify which tables are actually too large (e.g. in phpMyAdmin) instead of using purging options hoping something improves.
  22. opentype
    Sure. Custom Feed block. Number of entries: higher than record count. Order by: title.
  23. opentype
    You can’t do that in the template code, because when it is parsed on the server, the server doesn’t know what device it will be displayed on. However, the IPS framework has CSS classed to achieve this, so while both statements would be in the HTML code for everyone, one part could show on mobile devices only and another one only on desktop.
  24. opentype
    It’s a template. You need to create a custom feed block and then assign that template. Then you access that custom block on the front page. Please follow the instruction in the “Additional Information” tab. It walks you through every step.

    It’s a personal setting in the account settings: https://invisioncommunity.com/settings/links/
