    opentype got a reaction from Matt in Emoji in seoTitle & (un)Friendly URL | 🔥😅😲💛🤩🤮😊   
    Emoji are just characters that happen to be displayed as a color image. Their encoding shouldn’t be treated differently. In fact, I wouldn’t even know how, since they do not even have a dedicated Unicode range. Some were matched to existing pictograms and every year new ones are being added. Maintaining a complete list of emoji to be removed from URLs would be quite cumbersome.

    opentype reacted to JohnCourt in Custom Blocks Location   
    Good day folks. I create custom blocks for a lot of things, temp blocks for an event I'd like to highlite for a time period, blocks for advertisers that have limited times of showing and no longer usable, blocks that at one time seemed like a good idea, and now they aren't.
    As I was going through my blocks and cleaning house, I found it very difficult to actually determine which one went where and if it was being used or not. It would be nice to have a small blurb in the custom block "Details" where the block is being used, or not used at all.
    Perhaps something like "used on acme page" or "not active" or something of the sorts. Thanks for your consideration.

    opentype got a reaction from Sonya* in Feature request: better control of bulk mails per time   
    There is already the BULK_MAILS_PER_CYCLE constant to solve issues with hosts that have trouble with many emails at once. 
    Equally, if not more important, is how many emails are sent in a given timeframe. It’s normal for hosts and email services to have some kind of limit in that regard, but with the way IPS sends out bulk mail, it unpredictable when these limits are being hit and there is no way around this problem when the limits are hit. 
    I suggest a solution like a MAX_MAIL_CYCLES_PER_TASK constant or setting to limit the amount of cycles run each time a cron is being fired. So, for example, I could set 1 run of 100 emails with the cron running every minute resulting in 1000 mails in 10 minutes. 
    I understand that IPS isn’t all that focussed on features that would only help self-hosted customers, but it seems like an easy implementation which could help a lot of users. It’s actually the behaviour that people are already expecting.

    That’s a somewhat dishonest approach. You suggest that the claim “not even good for seo” is proven by the links that the Google search would reveal, yet I checked the best results and they say NOTHING of the sort. The query doesn’t address “seo” in any way and so the results also don’t. They discuss the possibility of having emojis in URLs and agree that they are possible.

    opentype got a reaction from Jim M in Emojis are surrounded by invisible chars ​ 🐈‍⬛ ​ 🥚 ​   
    This is working as intended. The ‘black cat emoji’ is a combination of multiple Unicode values. Cat + Combination Character + Black square. Those ‘strange characters’ are a necessary part of the emoji and they all need to be encoded. Removing them changes their meaning. For example, for the emoji representing people, skin color and gender are represented this way. People won’t accept that as they might accept a cat changing its color. 
    And sure, if you delete parts of it, it will break. Like removing the combination character will result in 🐈⬛ instead of 🐈‍⬛.

    That’s where you set the compression level(s). In addition, you can set the maximum pixel size for attachment uploads. Both of these options combined get you pretty far.

    I've disable everything Facebook in our community, the only that is left is the social icon directing users to our FB page. It became such a hassle, login with FB, Promote to FB, just a PITA.

    Don’t use it. It’s a legacy feature from the time when the software was centered around the forums and cross-posting was the only way to show the forum users the articles. It’s not necessary anymore and only causes issues.

    opentype got a reaction from David N. in [Pages] Create a blog like wordpress   
    You would create a database with one category only and don’t set it to “article mode”. Then you can set certain fields (like the selectbox field) as a filter and drag a filter widget on the page. 
    The “articles” will only be shown in a list mode by default. You probably will not like that. 
    Alternative solution: Don’t use filters and create a category for “PC“, “Nintento”, “Xbox”. Then you can have the “article mode” front page looking like a blog and users would open the categories to see the articles belonging to these topics.

    Suggestion - If you have a lot of blocks you have created over the years, it would be cool to see in ACP if they are being used or not (can they be deleted). I am at fault for having too many unused blocks...🤪

    You can turn off “Post before Registering”. Type “post before register” in the ACP search to find it. 

    Afterwards, guests need to register first before submitting a post.

    That’s what the “closed tag system” is for. You set up all the tags you want as admin in the ACP and then users can only use those tags.

    opentype got a reaction from Marc Stridgen in Feedback: Pages Media in the ACP, Performance   
    While you are working on Pages …
    If the Media section remains as it is, it seems to have performance issues. I have one installation where WordPress content got imported, ending up with around 300 images in the media section. 
    Opening the media page takes forever and can even crash the browser. It tries to load all 300 hi-res images at once. I also can’t get around that and do something else like creating a new folder, because that doesn’t stop loading the images. 
    Other queries seem problematic too, like just opening a folder in that section. Even if it is empty it can take 45 seconds to open on that installation with 300 images in other folders. That shouldn’t be the case.
