    jair101 reacted to Jim M in Changing Test Install URL   
    A sub-domain can be pointed to the new server via DNS. This is the benefit of doing a sub-domain so you don't have to reset the Test URL on your license each time you want to change the server 🙂 . However, as a one-time courtesy, I have done so here.

    jair101 reacted to Marc Stridgen in Migrate to cloud - how to handle updating additional database table.   
    In terms of the data, its your data. All you would do is submit a ticket requesting this, along with your verification code (a code requested for you to add by the client area as a customer). We would then provide you with the backup. If thats once a month, no problem.

    jair101 got a reaction from Flybc.ca in Reactions Per User Group   
    Suggestion, would ti be hard to make this per user, rather then per group setting? Some of my users abuse reactions, for example they use "Funny" in a sarcastic way. I want to disable this reaction to them, something like "Ban from using reaction". 
    But creating additional user groups only for this capability is not very practical.

    Thanks. I am interested in mode 3, but I anticipate many reviews and it is not practical to list all of them. A combination between few recent reviews+link to all of them would be perfect if this is possible.

    Going a step further, the invoice pdf can be sent as attachment via email, this is becoming a standard as it can be easily forwarded to the relevant department or event automated:

    jair101 reacted to SeNioR- in Has member title been removed?   
    I just moved the members' titles to the custom field.
    Just create a new text field with a maximum length of 65 characters.

    My field has the ID 7. In the query, change the field ID to yours.
    Additionally, add a prefix before the tables, if you have one.
    Make an SQL query
    UPDATE core_pfields_content t1 INNER JOIN core_members t2 ON t1.member_id = t2.member_id SET t1.field_7 = t2.member_title; Caution.
    You do everything on your own accountability.
    Before executing the SQL query, make a backup copy of the database just in case.

    Seriously 😕 
    Custom member titles are part of the profile identify, please make sure there is an option we can preserve them somehow. I guess the query to copy them from member title to profile field shouldn't be overly complicated, can someone from the expirienced devs advise on that?

    jair101 got a reaction from Rikki in Hump Day: Sneak Peek at Achievements   
    Any further details how points can be obtained? Is it going to be through regular content creation - i.e. number of posts, articles, images, etc.? Or it will be more flexible, for example based on where the topic is located (post in professional category might be worth more than one in humor section), or based on word count or number of attachments? Even better if we can set the weight of points ourselves 🙂

    We have a very tight anti spam defense. Almost all the new registrations are legit. Out of 46 people who registered today, two were flagged in one way or another, and maybe one or two others have a slightly iffy email address.

    At the moment, yes, @jair101. Though we have been monitoring load and usage to see if the pricing makes sense to offload additionally from Compute Engine.

    jair101 got a reaction from LiquidFractal in IPB native Points System (IP.Subeconomies? IP.Points?)   
    Just check the popularity on the point systems. There are a few on the marketplace (you hardly see any competition with multiple mods with the same purpose) and the one linked above has close to 300 purchases (very high for a paid addon) and its price tag is not insignificant.
    Seriously, you can hardly expect more definite proof on "generated enough interest". Now, if you are looking for a way to politely deny the request for the time being as the priorities are different, thats fine. But there is enough interest and it is proven, IPS don't need to wait for that.

    jair101 got a reaction from Joel R in Translating the community without translating the ACP ?   
    As you are English native it is understandable to have these questions, probably the reason IPS decided to "simplify" it by merging everything together. But for all users with translated communities the effect on this is huge. The main reasons are:
    1. Much less effort in translating. Translating the software takes a lot of time and is mindbogglingly boring. Like really. Trust me. As most communities have only 1 or 2 people with ACP access and usually technically apt people have also reasonable English, it is not necessary to have the English in the backend as well. So reason number 1 - having the strings separate saves you a lot from translating strings that no end user will ever see. 
    2. Not sure how it is for other languages, but for mine, it is much easier to communicate technical terms in English. Sure, we do have localization on windows, android, all major pieces of software, but it is much easier for me to keep it in English as I have learned what this button does and what this label actually means in English. This brings two benefits:
    - first I know what IPS is talking about when they say for example "Admin control panel notifications are improved", if I have "admin control panel" and "notifications" in my language, it is more difficult for me to realize what they are saying. 
    - I can easily communicate back to them using the same terms. If I have ACP translated, I will have to translate back when asking for support and the back translation won't always be accurate. For example "notifications" can be translated in my language and when I translate it back it might be "news" or something like that. If I raise a support ticket "My news are not working", you can see there will be tons of confusion and my example is extremely simple. 
    Really, even with simple and mundane buttons like copy/paste/cancel, you might have issues once they are localized. Even if I had a free professional ACP translation provided to me for free, I would still prefer to keep it in English. 
    Hope this clarifies it.

    jair101 reacted to Morrigan in Translating the community without translating the ACP ?   
    That's totally fair. I was just curious, I figure some people prefer that they have their stuff in their native language so translating everything is better for them overall.
    Your reasoning is equally as fair.
    Biggest thing is to avoid anything that says "ACP" in it. that will eliminate 20 pages for you to translate.

    I think most of the discussion here is focused around Pages as an app, not pages as landing, ad, etc. I.e. most people hope for full IPS.Pages app functionality - databases, custom fields, view templates, etc. I think this clarification needs to be made to avoid someone purchasing your app and in result not receive what he is expecting.

    jair101 reacted to Nathan Explosion in (NE) Topic Summary - Images Controls   
    For reference, the Topic Summary itself fetches an array containing ALL the information about the images in a topic (not the images themselves, just the information about them) and then they slice the top 4 (the first 4) out of that array to then process for display. I randomise the array that they initially fetch, and I've written it in a way that shouldn't cause any major issues (you can see the method I've used here) - however I haven't tested with thousands of images (just a few hundred, at this time).
    Keep in mind: if the number of images to display is increased from the default 4, then obviously that increases the content that then has to be displayed in the browser.
