Yes, that's what support is for
 

The one that posted that review must be on a free host.
Thats 15 on my settings and it causes no problem on my site ( shared hosting )
 

I forgot to detail the biggest new feature that's now available with 4.1
Feedback can now be left for most content items (not just topics), You can select the content type in AdminCP > Community > Feedback > Settings. This list of content items is dynamic based on the apps that you have installed. It will also work with other 3rd party apps.
The form on the frontend now has a new autocomplete input, it works based on the title of the content item. Just start typing it in and then select the item the feedback is for.

You'll need to wait for 4.1 to be released

The next update will include the ability to delete Feedback
It only allows topic links at the moment, I have plans though.

I'll push out 2.0.2 tomorrow
That was a bug report, not a ticket. Close enough  - I believe I've already fixed this anyway (it MUST be a topic URL).
I do have a plan which may help with what you want to do (it's the main reason I was holding out on the linking functionality).

Hi,
Before I complain, I want to start off with a nice note. Since joining IPB my users have loved the website, commented on how nice it works compared to VB & I have loved your support. When ever I have a bug or problem you guys usually reply pretty fast, sometimes during the night!
But here is where I am confused, angry & very, seriously sad.
I love IPB. I think it is one of the most solid products in the market, I think it is also the most professional both company wise (how you guys release things when it's ready & not before) and also product wise, it's very professional.
For over a year now, I have STRUGGLED to get to grips with pages. I look at the documentation & it's longer than the bible & not very user friendly at all!
For over a year now I have messaged support asking how to do things in pages & they say I have to come to the forums as it requires custom code! For simple things like adding the article image in the listing page!
For over a year now I have Tried pages, given up... Tried again, given up. There is so much potential in pages - I have seen it on professional website (websites with coders & budget!) but people like me CANT use it.
 
Why.... WHY can't IPB make pages easier. Why can't there be a wizard or Pre made templates!
Front page templates... Do you wanna display articles like a blog (photo to the side with description beside), or like a polariod (image with description below), or like a grid. 1 main article & then smaller articles below etc. Joomla asks you things like... Display title, date, time, author. Main article: 0-10, Secondary Articles 0-10. Its so easy!
Listing pages... Do you want to display the first image in the article, do you want to display article rating, do you want to display article sorting bar.
Article pages... Have a page builder, similar to what you do with blocks. Where you can create fields on a preview page & move them around/edit them. Currently if I want an image uploaded in an article and displayed to the right of the content, I have to custom format it, look up HTML guides on Google etc.
 
I just wish IPB could make pages & frontpage more like Joomla. Joomla frontpage is so easy. Then also keep the difficult custom options for people who are more pro & who know what they are doing.
I am so annoyed by the fact I can't easilly create a beautiful looking frontpage & article area, that I am considering going back to another software. Your forum software is so easy to use, but pages is rocket science.
 
Support won't help me, I have seen users here struggle to create things even when working together and helping eachother, and the only other option is to pay someone tons of money... Please consider making pages easier for noobs. PLEASE
Danny

Here's a small teaser for you.

Still a WIP, subject to change etc.

​
I did briefly talk to Andy about classifieds 4, the initial IPS4 release won't have any integration in it, but items already in your database will be preserved.​
 
​I'm still working at it, time is the limiting factor at the moment.

​I'm still working on it I'm afraid, I'm incredibly busy at the moment (as I'm sure you can imagine). Working towards a deadline later this week, hoping to get this finished up after that.
Sorry for the delay.

Seems as you are good to go... Have fun with it and Good Luck!

1. It should work just fine... I have been using this exact procedure for years from 2.0 thru 3.4.7 and now IPS 4.0.
2. On mine I converted both ways and to be honest I am seeing no difference. But then again I am not using any of the apps and languages where utf-8 MB4 is actually needed. But just to be the devils advocate and to see if they worked I did them both then reported any and all errors I ran into.
 

Upgrade from IP. 3.4.x to IPS4.0
I am bringing this back again seeing there are still many that want to know how to upgrade.
This is an updated version from my original post where the upgrade is explained from start to finish.
So you think you are ready to take the plunge and try a test install / upgrade from your current IP Board to the current IPS4.0 beta and later to the final release. Well we will see.
{Comment} The following steps are with the assumption you have already created a test install of your current board and made all the preparations leaving your current live board intact.
If Not then see the following article. Creating a Duplicate Local Test board from you Live Board. at the bottom of this article.
Step One.

1st, Download and run Get Ready For IPS 4.0 1.0.3 to test your current install to see if it is in fact ready. you can get your copy here. http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/7046-get-ready-for-ips-40/
OK! all is green and good to go then skip the next step and continue on.
But you are showing errors that need to be fixed. OK it's not the end of the world so there is no need to find a cliff or skyscraper to jump from. Download and run IPS UTF8 Database Converter 1.1.13 you can get it here. http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/6823-ips-utf8-database-converter/
Run the converter and let it do its thing, it will take a while. When this is finished re run Get Ready For IPS 4.0 1.0.3 to make sure all previous errors are fixed. If so we can go forward if not now you can find that cliff or skyscraper. NO Just Kidding!!! But you may want contact support with any errors.

Step Two.

1st, Make a backup of your Database call it whatever you like as long as you know where to go if the need comes up.

2nd, Here is a trick I use on my local due to a few corrupt downloads that failed causing me to start a test installs from scratch.

1, Create a _347 folder in your root directory and move all your files into it. Another backup you say? Yep! To go along with the above database backup should something go south on you.

2, Providing you have IP.Downloads copy these files back to your Forum Root Directory from the _347folder.
Copy the following folders, downloads, public, screenshots and uploads along with your conf_global.php file. Otherwise only public, uploads and conf_ global.php will due.

3, Copy all the files from the IPS4.0 zip file you downloaded from your clients center to your new test install directory. From your browser go to your test install site http://example.com/admin/upgrade/ and begin the upgrade process.......... Go to Site!
If the upgrader asks for your license key, add it but remember to use -TESTINSTALL immediately after the license key. 1234567890-12345-123-12345-1234567890-TESTINSTALL
 
 Creating a Duplicate Local Test board from you Live Board.
Setting up a test board for upgrade is fairly easy but time consuming.
In this section of this Tutorial is a guide for those that have never attempted to create a backup test site of the original live site for upgrade compatibility or other testing purposes.
For those of you creating a local test server on your own computer using server software like Wamp, Xampp or Mamp. Follow these easy steps.
Make a duplicate copy of your forum site by downloading it via FTP Forum Root to a location on your PC. Now log into your cpanel, PhpMyAdmin and Export the compete associated database.
In this example we will be using the Wamp environment.
Copy your forum site files into your Wamp - www directory example (C:\wamp\www\test-forum) Go into Wamp via your browser PhpMyAdmin, create a new database and Import the newly saved database into it.
In your forum directory C:\wamp\www\test-forum find  your conf_global.php.
In your conf_global.php settings you need to change these settings.
$INFO['sql_database'] = 'original';   to
$INFO['sql_database'] = 'new_db_name';   and
$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://example.com/forum';   to
$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://example.com/test-forum';
And the same with the sql user if needed.
$INFO['sql_user']       = 'tester';
Now go to the ACP System Settings - General Configuration make all pertinent changes to Path to 'upload' directory and Upload URL. You can find the hint to these new URL's below the text boxes for example:  "IP.Board has detected your uploads path as: D:/wamp/www/test-forum/uploads"  and  IP.Board has detected your uploads url as:
These changes will also need to be made in IP.Blog Settings and IP.Gallery if you have them.
Go to System - Server Environment - Settings: Server Environment click on Update Settings. This will Sync your new server location settings in your new database.
Next go to Look & Feel - Disable or remove all 3rd party skins.
Go to Template Tools in the left side panel  check all boxes under - Rebuild Master Skin Data click the Rebuild button. When this is finished click Recache Skin Sets after. 
Go back to System and Cache Management. Click on Rebuild Global Chaches Cache, Rebuild FURL Cache and then Recache ALL. Though some will say this is not necessary but trust me on this. Your IPS 4 upgrade will love you for doing these.
Next back under System - Manage Applications & Modules - Disable all 3rd party Apps then click Recache Apps & Modules.
 Next step Manage Hooks - Disable all 3rd party hooks then click Reimport Application Hooks...
Now lastly before doing the actual upgrade go back to your testboard front end via your browser and test to see if all is working correctly. Making sure it is an exact mirror to your live board. 
***NOTE***
As you make these changes in the ACP and save each they are also saved in the new Database.
 
(After creating a 3.4.7 test install and all is working....)
​Create a _347 backup folder move all the existing files into it. Thus creating a complete backup of the board you are working with. Do the same with your database by backing it up to another name like "new347-backup". You can do this in PhpMyAdmin.
 If you have IP.Downloads, you will want to copy (duplicate) the following folders from your _347 backup directory you just made back to your forum root. downloads, public, screenshots, uploads and conf_global.php.
 If you do not have IP.Downloads than all you need to copy back to the root is your public and uploads folders with the conf_global.php.
 So if your new forum root directory for the test upgrade is named "my-testboard" or "my-testboard.com" the above files need to be copied there.
After this has been completed copy your latest IPS4 beta files you downloaded from the client center to the forum root "my-testboard" or "my-testboard.com" with the other files you just put  there. Start the upgrade if it asks for your license key, add it but remember to use -TESTINSTALL immediately after the license key. 1234567890-12345-123-12345-1234567890-TESTINSTALL.

There is a hook included in the package which does it. Search for it in the hook section in ACP and activate it!

Been running on my forum for a wee while and its pretty slick :)

I'm about to package it up...

Not related, but possibly caused by the upgrader recaching.

Follow the first part of this: http://www.invisionpower.com/support/kb/_/manually-rebuild-skins-and-languages-from-xml-r42

Hi Stuart,

i have the previous version. To upgrade i just need to upload the new files?

P.S. - Just uploaded and upgraded: all ok!

They're also pure CSS, whatever colour the admin chooses for the background will also be inherited in the stem.

v2 implementations are automatically upgraded to the v3 API, it's not guaranteed to work and doesn't for many users.


User-added customer markers would be able to do this for you (planned feature).

-----------------------

As a teaser for yourselves, if you'd like to see what the 'new' HTML based pushpins look like, you can see them here: http://ipb.silvesterwebdesigns.com/membermap/ (You may need to CTRL+F5 if you've look at this map recently).

Too right, There is always the possibility for a bug fix release after the IPS4 version is out too.

Any idea when we will be able to add custom markers?

Sure, feel free to email it over to me, I'll take a look and see what can be included.

admin/applicatons_addon/other/membermap/sources/classes/mapLib.php

Change line 169 from

'url' => $this->registry->getClass('output')->buildSeoUrl('showuser='.$members[$id]['member_id'], 'public', $members[$id]['members_seo_name'], 'showuser'), to

'url' => $this->registry->getClass('output')->buildSeoUrl($this->settings['board_url'] . '/index.php?showuser='.$members[$id]['member_id'], 'none', $members[$id]['members_seo_name'], 'showuser'),

?

Bump ...

PS - Happy to buy this mod if a premium version were made with greater customisation out of the box ............
