  1. Thanks
    bfarber got a reaction from Davyc in Small issue in the ACP under Pages menu   
    Yes, when I've seen this come up in the past it has always been due to multiple languages being installed, but the translations for "Records" are not stored in the language pack being used somehow. In any event I'm glad you're all sorted!

    While I don't believe there's a true security concern here (think of the situation like logging in to a third party site using Facebook...if you log out of that site you are not inherently logged out of Facebook too), I can appreciate the confusion and concerns raised in this topic and have brought the discussion up internally to take a look at. Thanks everyone!

    bfarber got a reaction from Jordan Miller in What kind of blog content are you interested in?   
    As an old person here, you could explain how you choose the most appropriate memes for every situation. Meme images to steer clear of, whether to use the built in giphy integration or fetch memes manually from third party sources, those sorts of things. It would be a fascinating read.

    @Jordan Invision sent in a support request and @Marc Stridgen sorted it.  It was all down to the language file being used in the ACP, one quick click and done.  Support, as always, on top form.  Thanks to Marc for getting me there, I'll sleep tonight lol 🙂

    Merging threads will retain a time-based post order from oldest to newest. The thread you merge into will be the URL retained, however the post order will respect the timestamp of each post.
    Whichever post is the oldest of all merged threads will be the first post in the resulting thread by design, no matter how you merge them. I believe there is a plugin in Marketplace that will let you change the timestamp of a post. That may be what you're looking for.

    Thanks for your comment @bfarber. The crisp team was able to identify that, since it was going into PHP code, $crisp was being interpreted as a variable. They had me take out a section of their given code and it worked. 
    Code to take out:

    bfarber got a reaction from Cooking in What is ipbcore_output_cache and why is it 17GB?   
    This table would hold entire cached pages, and be pruned periodically by a background task. You can alternatively store these caches in Redis or in a remote database, and you can change how long the pages are cached for with the CACHE_PAGE_TIMEOUT constant.

    bfarber got a reaction from Maxxius in How can I run rebuild posts on 4.4?   
    I would second running a one-time REPLACE SQL statement for this specific purpose.
    Back up the database, then run something like
    UPDATE forums_posts SET post=REPLACE(post,'http://wrongDomain.com/','http://correctDomain.com/'); Note that you may wish to check other similar tables (blog entries, status updates, personal conversations, etc.) but the method is the same, just the table name and column will vary.

    bfarber got a reaction from IP-Gamers in Problem with Post Before Registration and streams (bug?)   
    Sometimes a ticket is the easiest way to diagnose a problem, even if the issue can be duplicated on a fresh install. When you look at the steps necessary to reproduce a problem and it can take an hour to set up your test installation to duplicate the problem, but you already have a live example we can look at, it's often more effective and efficient to look at the live example.

    bfarber got a reaction from sobrenome in Spam via Contact Us - Call to Arms!   
    We have discussed this, but it's tricky. For instance, I considered looking at calling our IPS Spam Service for emails sent through the contact form, but we decided that this couldn't be done because a valid user who was blocked from registration by the spam service would then have absolutely no way to contact the site admin to let them know or get assistance.
    Unfortunately, if you leave a contact form in place, spammers will use it. It's tricky to block spam effectively here without resorting to "hacks" (like scanning the email for specific text which may not actually be indicative of spam).

    bfarber reacted to CoffeeCake in Database: I have tables of type InnoDB and MyISAM...   
    Bob is giving some poor advice. Don't perform schema changing SQL operations via phpMyAdmin. phpMyAdmin can be a useful tool to do some basic row level inquiries/modifications if needed and basic exploration. You should get into the habit of using a proper client on the database server itself for significant write and change commands. Changing the underlying engine of a table is a significant change. Connecting via terminal and using the mysql command would be a far better approach.
    Command line documentation:
    https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql.html
    If your host doesn't give you the option to make the row format dynamic (you may be on an older version of MySQL, and/or your database may be using the original Antelope file format and not Barracuda, the newer InnoDB file format required for dynamic row format), and you're not having issues, then you should be okay for now. It's a recommendation but not a requirement.
    The steps required to do all this are going to require reading up on the documentation and better understanding your specific hosting environment. Take a look at what version of MySQL you're running, the schema properties of your database, and how the database engine is configured.

    Thanks, bfarber. I have already set it up. But only after logging in I can view the Grid, the guests still see the table view.
    Edit: I changed it to other option and then changed back, it seems work fine now. Thank you.

    In the AdminCP visit Members > Profiles and add a custom profile field.
    Likewise if you have such a field set up there already, you can control who it displays to, and whether it displays next to member posts within topics.

    bfarber reacted to kims79 in Rest API : Allow filtering on databases custom fields   
    Hello !
    Today we have an endpoint to get all records from a database with the Rest API : 
    /cms/records/{database_id} Some usefull parameters are available, to get records from a catagory, or to sort by a default field.
    But there is some lack. It could be very nice to allow the Rest API users to do more things : 
    To filter the records according to a default field (even if we can use the core search endpoint, but which is limited to title/content) and for custom/complex fields . To sort by a custom field This kind of filtering probably already exists in IPB, because we can add filters in IP Boards databases, with requests like : 
    ipboard.com/games/?advanced_search_submitted=1&&csrfKey=XXX&content_field_54[1]=RPG&&sortby=record_publish_date&sortdirection=desc&record_type=all&time_frame=show_all  
    What do you thinkg about it ?
     
    Thank you !

    bfarber got a reaction from sobrenome in redis question   
    We have a concept of a "datastore" which is like a basic cache, regardless of whether you have a caching engine enabled or not. Datastores are usually stored on disk, or in a MySQL database table.
    With Redis enabled, Redis is used for both "datastore" content, as well as true caching.

    There are no public plans for anything at this time, but we are aware of the needs/desires of many administrators to improve video handling within the software. I was mostly just stating a fact, but that doesn't mean it's something we've not looked into either.
