    Bluto reacted to Day_ in Night Mode Theme   
    As the theme contains no template edits, they should all automatically be updated unless you have customised them yourself.
    If there is anything that looks wonky let me know and I'll take a look, running the same theme on my site not seen anything come up yet myself.

    Bluto got a reaction from Not Win in Total Time Spent Online   
    I just had a member write me asking me about their time online not changing.
    @Adriano Faria might want to make a note in the marketplace item so that people know this won't work with the "Use Redis to reduce MySQL overhead" turned on.
    I've had the Redis setting on for awhile and never noticed the time not changing until one of my mods reported it.
    Otherwise, it works great.

    No reimbursement is necessary. 
    It's just a constructive consultation to improve the application.

    I had this in another plugin yesterday. Not sure why... maybe a 4.4.4 thing? 🤨

    Hmmm... for some reason the settings weren't saving - had blank fields for both the time and the cookie name.  I had to re-upload the plugin and now it's saving.
    Everything is working.  Sorry to be a pain and thanks for your help!

    Bluto reacted to Sonya* in 404 Management - Supporttopic   
    Hi,
    I have two questions:
    1. Can I define custom 404 page for ALL links that thrown this? I do not want to add individual conditions depending on the URL not found. I just want to have custom 404 and 401 pages. And then a redirection to the custom error pages whenever 404 or 401 occurs. Or must I define it for every URL in the log?
    2. Can I see a referrer in the logs? Sometimes it is easier to fix the broken link (especially if internal) instead of showing error or adding redirect. But in this case I have to know where the broken link can be found.
    Sonya

    Use cleantalk anti-spam it protects the contact form.  It's super cheap and easy to setup.
    Of course, if you're specifically targeted by a person who is spamming manually, nothing is going to stop them.  You can only report their email to cleantalk to help for the next person.

    Bluto reacted to ASTRAPI in Community Guide on Setting Up Wasabi and CloudFlare   
    Hello
    (This is a community guide on how to setup Wasabi and Cloudflare, as a significantly cheaper replacement for Amazon S3 and Cloudfront.  The author has no affiliate arrangement with any of the companies listed in the guide and offers the guide as a free community resource.  You should consult with your hosting provider and / or server administrator before proceeding with the guide.)
    BACKGROUND:
    Invision Communities contain rich content, from forum attachments to gallery images to download files.  These resources add up over time. 
    Here are real examples of communities that I provide server administration for:
    - Website A: 400 GB of total storage and 1.2 TB of total monthly bandwidth 
    - Website B: 800 GB of total storage and 14 TB of total bandwidth
    Invision Community allows a file storage configuration with Amazon S3 and a content distribution network (CDN) of your choice:
     
    WHAT IS WASABI?
    Wasabi Cloud  is faster and cheaper than Amazon S3 for object storage, offers unlimited egress for bandwidth, and compatible with Cloudflare.  One of the biggest hidden expenses of using Amazon S3 is not the cost of storage itself, but the bandwidth to deliver objects in and out.  Wasabi does not charge for egress bandwidth, which can save on the majority of the true cost of Amazon S3. It also provides an S3-compliant interface, which means it can be used as a perfect drop-in replacement for Amazon S3 storage and immediately usable on all Invision Communities.   

    Wasabi is 80% cheaper and 6x faster than Amazon S3, with 100% data immutability protection, and no data egress fees or API charges. Created by Carbonite co-founders and cloud storage pioneers David Friend and Jeff Flowers, Wasabi is on a mission to commoditize the storage industry. Wasabi is a privately held company based in Boston, MA.
    In March of 2018, Wasabi pioneered the cloud storage industry’s first ‘unlimited free egress’ pricing plan. We are excited to join forces with Cloudflare and the Bandwidth Alliance, validating that the early business models of Cloud 1.0 vendors no longer applies in a world that expects unlimited everything.  What this means in practice is that you can use Cloudflare services (including the free plan) like blazing-fast DNS, WAF firewall, performance improvements on the fly, and much more.  Forums users will request a topic, and all static content can be picked up from Cloudflare's optimized services that will connect to Wasabi.

     
    At the moment, Wasabi offers three Datacenters:
    1)US-WEST
    2)US-EAST
    3)EU-CENTRAL 

    One price. Lightning fast speed. No hidden fees.

    You can check and compare the prices above.
     
    GUIDE:
    BEFORE PROCEEDING, PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DATA FIRST!
    YOUR FILES WILL BE IN PRIVATE MODE AND WILL NOT BE ACCESSIBLE ON YOUR FORUM !
    YOU MUST GET A PAID PLAN TO BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE THE INVISION FILE PERMISSIONS AND GET YOUR FILES ACCESSIBLE AT YOUR FORUMS.
    JUST ADD YOUR CREDIT CARD NOW (AT YOUR PROFILE PAGE) AND THEY WILL CHARGE YOU 5,99$ FOR A MONTH FOR 1TB STORAGE AND UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH.
    THE FREE TRIAL WILL NOT WORK FOR INVISION !
     
    Step 1: Create a CName at CloudFlare
    We start by creating a cname at Cloudflare:
    cname -> cdn -> cdn.yourdomain.com.s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com  <--For Europe datacenter
    or
    cname -> cdn -> cdn.yourdomain.com.s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com  <--For US-WEST datacenter
    or
    cname -> cdn -> cdn.yourdomain.com.s3.wasabisys.com  <--For US-EAST datacenter
    Like this:

     
    Step 2: Create a bucket on Wasabi
    First we sign up for a free account at Wasabi Cloud: https://wasabi.com/sign-up/
    Then we create a bucket:

     
    It is important to name it as: cdn.yourdomain.com
     

     
    Then keep default suspend Versioning and Suspend Logging:

    Then click CREATE BUCKET:
     

     
    Step 3: Retrieve your Access Keys
    Go to the menu on top left and click Access keys on the left. Click on "Create New Access Key."

     
    Copy / save the access key and the secret key:

    Step 4: Setting up a new file storage in ACP
    Login to Admin Control Panel and navigate to Overview at the Files category and then click at the right side at Storage settings:

     
    Then we click at Configurations and at the right side at Create New:
     

    We select Amazon s3 and we add the following info:

    Save it.
    Step 5: Set the new storage at storage settings
    Navigate to Storage settings and select from the drop down menu the new Amazon s3 bucket.

     
    Keep only at your server your theme resources:

    *Attachments and Downloads doesn't work out of the box as it seems there is some hardcoded code at Invision related to S3...
    To make them work you just need to install the addon bellow: (tested with Invision 4.4.4).
     
    Then wait for any Invision background tasks to finish and check.
    I hope that you will benefit from this tutorial and get better performance while saving a lot of money 🙂
    Enjoy!
    OTHER NOTES:
    If you are already using S3 then it is very easy to move straight to Wasabi by following the above tutorial as it is NOT needed to move back your files to server and then to Wasabi.

    Facebook also introducing dark/night mode to their main app now as well as messenger. 
    Twitter have recently added a lights out mode as an alternative to their existing dark/night mode. Twitter can also automatically turn it on in the evening and off in the morning. 
    My cobbled together CSS changes only Night Mode theme has 56 downloads in the first week.
    Whilst not mega numbers, shows there is interest, all these large social media platforms and mobile operating systems would not be wasting their time if it wasn’t in demand.

    As promised, the Dark Theme I created for my site has now landed in the Marketplace, even got myself a fancy new Contributers badge thing.
    The theme has no template changes, only CSS, if you notice any bits I've missed let me know as and I will get them fixed up straight away. 
    Please remember this theme has only been tested on the Forums, Calendar and Gallery app as I do not own Blog or Commerce.

    Version 1.2.0 has been released!
     
    This is a major release that primarily adds support for either prompting members with disposable e-mails to update on login (optional), or forcing members with disposable e-mails to update before they can access any area of the site.
    This additionally adds the logging feature requested by @Gabriel Torres.
    Next on the update list will be better member filtering and support for taking actions against members with disposable e-mails in bulk.
    Also, if you've been enjoying the application so far, please consider giving it a review! It'll help me a ton and I'd be very thankful ヾ(^-^)ノ
