Support Topic for SuperShow (YouTube/Vimeo Feed Widget)
opentype replied to opentype's topic in Marketplace
I’m not seeing any official Twitch RSS video feeds that I could use. -
As explained on my FAQ page, I cannot help with customizations. The support only covers the features listed on the product page.
-
Please do. It doesn’t happen on Facebook.
-
On Facebook’s URL debugger. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/

It embeds, but I can’t make it play in Safari.

As a joke, this is really funny. We are going in circles. Describing WHAT one wants is not a description of the WHY someone wants this. It keeps coming back to “having to figure out the specific time”. Fine! Now why do you need that information, user? 😉 There must be a reason. (Not that I have a horse in this race arguing for or against how IPS or your site should handle this. I’m just making a logical point. Not wanting to drag this out. Sorry.)
-
I would dig deeper and continue asking. Just saying they want a specific time doesn’t explain the reasons. The reason would matter though to decide if I would want to take actions. Maybe it’s just a matter of “that’s how we are used to it”, which wouldn’t mean much to me. Or they somehow don’t use the “read markers” properly and want to judge from the time whether they have read the post already yesterday or something like that. Could be anything. It’s easy to make the case for relative time, especially online where people could be scattered across the globe, even on non-English communities. So having that as a default makes perfect sense. They would need extremely good reasons to have their system be better and worth setting as a default.
-
You can change the aspect ratio in the plugin settings depending on your needs, both for the listing and the record view. I probably won’t do more than that. If one uploads a portrait-mode image as a header and it would scale to the full width and height, that would look really bad. Forcing a certain size is a good compromise for this type of header use and it’s standard practice (e.g. for news sites).
-
Not really sure what you are asking. My guess is that you are opening a category (“news”) that doesn’t have articles, but only sub categories (test news, test2 news …). In which case you get a list of sub categories. That’s perfectly normal. It’s how Pages works and there is no way around that. It’s like opening a folder on your computer. If there are just other folders in there, that’s all that you will see.
-
It’s already included in a lot of places. If you see errors, I would suggest to open a support ticket. If you want to add additional one, be very careful about it. You site could drop in ranking if you make errors. The markup is easy to misuse and Google penalizes sites where it detects problems. Also, take Google’s recommendation with caution. Their goal is to answer as many user questions on their site as possible without having users to actually visit the site. Being able to retrieve data from the site and show it in search results is a way to do that.

It’s only available on the IPS Marketplace. I have no control over the payment options.

Everybody is choosing "Night Mode" nowadays....
opentype replied to TheWorldNewsMedia.org's topic in Feedback
It’s not that simple. The brightness of the background is just one of dozens of legibility/accessibility factors and a dark-mode doesn’t easily fix any problems—it just reverses the contrast. As a result, people struggling with the glow of the background now struggle with the glow of the bright text on a pitch black background, which can be equally bad or even worse. All the factors need to be carefully balanced in either mode to get good results. -

The IPS app coming with 4.5 has a dark-mode option. Regarding the community suite, I would rather expect it for 5.x. It might also be worth to code it not as a full theme at all, but using the CSS declaration which are in development for this. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme -

That’s interesting! If I ever create dark-mode CSS, I will base it on what I see in Chrome. Works surprisingly well. -
SuperBlocks is a block template. Blocks only create a feed of items and link to it. They don’t define what happens after the click. That page that opens on the demo is using the SuperGrid product, which is assigned to the article database.
-
Pages already has a record image which will already be set as OG:image when uploaded for the record. This plugin therefore only affects the forum, where there is no “topic image”.
-
RSS doesn’t really have a native feature for this. But feed readers like Feedly don’t need it anyway. They will crawl the target page and use the Open Graph image from there.
-
They are not installed in the plugin section. Please follow the instructions in the PDF.
-
Install which file?
-
In theory, yes, but I’m not gonna do that. A) it would double the amount of code to maintain. B) There are several load-time saving measures included already. C) a higher-res image isn’t necessarily too big on mobile devices, since the screen resolutions are getting higher and higher on mobile.
-
But you also gain the power of dedicated custom fields specifically tailored to the content you want to collect and show. I would prefer that over the MediaWiki approach most of the times.
-
Yes, this is possible. Pages database have a Wiki functionality. It doesn’t really work like MediaWiki, but it allows members to work on records together.
-
It should be up to six on desktop for all feeds.
