    @shahed, I have other plugin for sidebar widget and it has editor available 🙂 In general I am OK with pure HTML input, however, editor would simplify things.

    Sure. i didn't said impossible, just this one proved to be complicated in plugins compared to developing it on app or theme. I might add in future updates.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the plugin. Can you set the countdown description to use editor instead text filed?

    It also would be nice to be able to set custom background image/style, e.g. border for the countdown area.

    Hello,

    I'm afraid not. using full editor/image upload in plugin resource type is proved to be complicated compared to developing resource as app or theme.

    Thanks so much,  I found it.  Like @PatrickRQ is there a way to set it to use the editor?  Otherwise I'm not sure how we would use HTML functionality, like if I want an image, or link people can click?

    It says it's supports html, but is there a way to do it on screen and not go somewhere and write the code and come back and copy and paste?

    Sure. like i said, if it was app or theme, it would be easy but countdown widget is developed as plugin and I'm afraid this type of resources have their own limitation and difficulties for ease of development.

    So at least for now still using HTML text area for this.

    Hello Shahed,

    Got another suggestion... Is there somthing that could be done to alert that there is an update pending approval on the file view?

    There is something on the dropdown menu, but I wouldn't have known to check/approve without going into the ModCD to do approvals.  The default IPS Downloads shows a banner at the top indicating that there is a new file pending approval. It would be nice to be able to see that there is a new version that is pending approval right on the file view for usergroups that have the ability to approve new versions.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the report. it is already fixed for next update. along with tags and prefixes. 👍

    Hi I just purchased, I am not sure where to access the global settings?  Can someone please advise?

    Hello,

    Two way to use this plugin. first is a global setting in ACP > System > Site Features > Plugins // you can click on pen button for the settings. it gives an option to make a countdown section in one of the 3 areas. this countdown will be display everywhere in the website.

    Could contain: Text, Light

     

    Second way is by Block Manager feature. it is possible to make unlimited number of countdown boxes in your selected pages.

    Hello, 

    Thank you for addressing my questions!  I absolutely love this plugin.... I shouldn't say this, but this plugin is something that I would have gladly been willing to pay more for.  This does a lot and really changes the overall look and feel of the IPS Downloads.   

    My apologies... I suck with design, so my example isn't the best.  Was just an idea of having a larger primary image or something.

    This one took me a while to find where this was. I finally found the settings for the Extra Fields... I guess I need to be real selective with what field goes in what position. I'll have to play around with this more... I really don't like how "In a separate tab" works... especially if you have several.

    The screenshots we use are actually fairly big and high quality.  Not sure what you mean by narrow, but the images we use are anything but narrow. The primary screenshots in my example above are roughly 900x650px or so. The tiles are actually trying to take the image and squish it into the template.

    That primary image is actually 1333x1080px at 96dpi. It doesn't seem to be a quality of the image issue.
     

    Thank you for your consideration of my suggestions! 

    You are correct. It looks like this is an application called "FILES TAB ON USER PROFILE" by Adriano Faria. My users use this quite often as it's a really easy way to find files that another user has posted. I will PM you some live test credentials for my site that you can click around with and see how things look. 

    One more question... Hopefully an easy one... Is there an easy way to change the lenght of the "About This File" section? As in the length that section displays before it needs the scroll?
     

    I review suggestions and try to implement them those that works in future updates. about extra fields, I should perhaps noted that those options can be select in create/edit extra fields itself. also about image sizes, 1333x1080px or even 900x650px is pretty much good and quality images will be better in next update. my assumption came from that there were a screenshot you send for single out the primary image, and that sample looks narrow there. lastly for length of the "About This File" I will add plugin option for it in next update 👍

  6. 13 hours ago, Dazz said:

    Suggestion 1:
    Would it be possible to have the primary show as a larger image above the other screenshots? Perhaps something like this?

    Could contain: Arcade Game Machine, Game, Person

    Hello,

    Thanks for suggestions, ideas and reports. about first suggestion, primary image already is on display separately from other images next to file name and byline area. not sure why we need to display primary image second time in there. also design suggestion you have posted here is just not looks good.

     

    13 hours ago, Dazz said:

    Suggestion 2:
    I'm not a fan of is how the additional info/extra fields are currently displayed.  Especially when there is a URL or longer text, multiple selection, etc. Perhaps allow another block on the right above "About this File" that pulls the Extra Fields into an easier view.

    You can display extra field in different places. templates support positioning options from extra fields.

    Could contain: Text, Night, Outdoors, Nature, Page

    For links it probably better to choose bellow the description or tab. sidebar area like the original design, better to be reserved for field with smaller contents.

     

    13 hours ago, Dazz said:

    Suggestion 3:
    I don't see a way to use/add tags or where tags would be displayed.  Please allow the use of tags as a lot of us build dynamic content from them.

    Thanks for report. will be fix in next update.

    Issues:
    Long filenames seem to throw off the template if the file on the cat display is the 4th in the row. Seems to only happen when using Tiles.

    Could contain: Art, Collage, Stained Glass

    This is grid view. I will address this as well.

     

    13 hours ago, Dazz said:

    Grid view images are really squished and blury:
    Could contain: Slot, Game, Gambling

    Most of these screenshots shows images that being selected as primary, is either have low quality or narrow images that being stretched out in new designs. I can make it better with some new options but my suggestion is for new templates, use better quality primary images. primary images in Download app original design usually have limited use and mostly in thumb sizes. however new designs with this plugin use them in a big way, large and styled.

     

    13 hours ago, Dazz said:

    Also, I use a app called "Tip Me" that allows users to tip the file author... This puts a buton on the template that takes the user to a paypal/donation screen. Or is there something easy that can be done to get these two apps/plugins to work nicely with eachother?  I've already messaged the author of that application, but this is how I think that should look with your downloads styler.

    Could contain: File, Webpage, Mobile Phone, Phone, Electronics, Text

    I don't have access to codes for this resource, and seems can be done as a custom job.

    Featured really distorts images. I think it may be better to see just a portion of the screenshot instead of a full distorted image.

    Could contain: Arcade Game Machine, Game

    Yes this is one of the example for a need to select better primary images. Also I have some Ideas for this and your previous suggestion about display big primary image separately. it is going to be started in File View with optional choices:

    What image be use next to file name and byline: primary image (current design) or first uploaded image (new option) // with this, it is possible to always use first uploaded image as the file "icon". primary image can be reserve to select for a bigger and good quality image that can be use in listing pages like category view or download homepage. additionally with first uploaded image (new option) active, primary image can have it's own setting to be display in above the other screenshots or in file description above the content.

    Don't know if this is an oversight or not, but this also changes the look of the Files from Member profile. I personally liked the older view on this specific page.

    Could contain: File, Webpage

    Invision doesn't have files tab in profile pages, so it seems work of a third party resource? in any case, this template seems using default design for category view items, which is now changed in tile view. so display them as tiles is normal, however it can be display normal and just like in download pages. it probably fixable if I could see this page live. if you want you can link this here or in a PM to me.

  7. Legend Styler - Downloads is an advanced plugin, to modify and re-design everything about IPS Downloads app. in 3 area: Download app's FrontPage, Category view and File view, there are dozens of option to style and redesign different sections. from "Featured Downloads" box, "What's new", "Highest Rated" and "Most Downloaded" boxes in FrontPage, to category view and finally for file view, there are options to change how generally your download hub can be looks.

    Hi shahed,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    This has also been on my mind for quite a while and is on my todo list for a future update. 🙂

    This is great to hear. hopefully arrive in a near update 🙂👍

  9. Hello Invision,

    For easier modding, please consider giving every parent elements in IPS Default Theme unique IDs, or any type of attribute to distinguish them. time and time again in the past, I had  problems for modding, and anchoring to CSS selectors in templates. most of the time find a way to get around, but sometimes in one template there are just several exact element with same CSS selectors used as parent for different sections. these parts without any given ID is virtually impossible to anchor and causes repeats. if all parent elements given it's own IDs or again any type of attribute to make them unique, that just make a big help and can be use in all sorts of ways.

    @shahed thanks for your support, I would like to have a next category section for additional link.

    Example, I try to set a forum as Bible with topics as different book.

    I use an additional link for the forum, now it is possible. But a book contains so many chapters, so I would like clicking on the additional link to open up a drawer where contains links items 1, 2, 3...let say it's sub links of additional link. 

    User click on additional link, select number of chapter and open the chapter topic. 

    Could contain: Text, Electronics

    Could you please add Additional link item translable too?

    Something like this

    Could contain: Text, Page, File

    I'm not sure if I understood this new category for additional links means, but if you want to make "menu links" in additional links area, you can use IPS guide to do it. with little tweak it is possible to add menu links in there like your screenshot in second post.

    For example, you can add this code as a link in additional links area:

    <a class='mvnMobileNav_mobileNavMoreLinks' href='#mvnMobileNav1_menu' id='mvnMobileNav1' data-ipsMenu><i class="fa fa-question fa-2x"></i>Menu</a>
    <ul id='mvnMobileNav1_menu' class='ipsMenu ipsMenu_auto ipsHide'>
    	<li class="ipsMenu_item">
    		<a href="#"><i class="fa fa-question"></i> Link 1</a>
    	</li>
    	<li class="ipsMenu_item">
    		<a href="#"><i class="fa fa-question"></i> Link 2</a>
    	</li>
    </ul>

    It is possible to add more menu links with same code, with one change per link... just change the number of those mvnMobileNav1 👍

    Could contain: Text, Number, Symbol

    That's great on search! I still have the challenge where users must login to see the nav as well, but it seems this shows to guests, so it is not honoring nav permissions or what is intended by having users login to access the site.

    Everyone including registered users or guests can see mobile navigation itself (in phone/tablet). however buttons/links inside of the nav may be restricted. for example login button, only appear to guests. or in the case of search button, it is honoring website permissions. also there is Additional Links section as well, which can be display only to selected groups.

    Hey there. We have an ips instance where all users must login and only some of those logged in users may use search.. If we could shut it off for guests and/or pick which groups see the nav+/-search we could use this. Do you think this might be an option someday? We'll compensate for the feature! Thanks

    Hi,

    Sure, search button will honor search permissions in next update. It's not going to be "Who can see this button" in plugin setting, but using global permission that already been set in ACP for who can use search option.

    ---

    Edit: I have checked the code, and search button in mobile navigation already honor search permissions.

    If you want disable search for user groups, go to:

    ACP > System > Applications > expand System > Search > Permissions

     

    It did work for me, let me know if it is works for you too.

    Thanks a lot for the latest updates @shahed much appreciated.

    Quick question, how do I know the font awesome icons I can use? Is there an URL where I can look the icons up? I am using https://fontawesome.com/icons/play?s=solid&f=sharp 

    Do I need to install any other plugins?
    Thanks

    Hello,

    finding FontAwesome class is a bit tricky in Invision, because platform uses a customized and selected version of the font, rather than having entire package. so when you search for icon in fontawesome website, those icons may or may not be in Invision. i think best practice is search css file "fonts.css" in your theme. all available classes are in there. also search marketplace in here... maybe someone added a resource for it.

    Hi @shahed

    I have so many forums are for students and parents and differents schools, I would like use the additional links drawer to host all that school forums. 

    Could you add members groups ability to restrict who can see that additional links drawer? Example, regular members cannot see that drawer. School members can see that drawer and related links.

    Sure, I can add option permission group to see for that part. 👍

    Hi, recently purchased

    1. But due the buttom menu already sticked on screen, I would like disable the logo header sticky functionality.

    Hi, thanks for the purchase.

    Plugin, effects on a new bottom navigation for mobile view and won't make header section sticky. it is unrelated so there is no such functionality that could be disable or enable.

    If your header section are sticky, it could be effect of another plugin/app or a custom theme, which should be disable through them. Mobile Navigation on it's own won't make logo header sticky.

     

    29 minutes ago, kmk said:

    2. I have the hamburguer and ips default navbar hidden, but after that we need place the logo more centered, right now it just left side and right side white space.

    Yes, Mobile Navigation plugin basically have the features of those two, so in order to user won't see two same thing with different design, there are options for hiding hamburguer and ips default navbar. but when they are hide, they don't exist so how is related to logo section?

    Can you provide a link to these? my image is your website must have various customize parts other than this.

    I like your theme 🙂 

    May I ask the techical reason behind this?

     

     

    Hello,

    Changing the theme's name won't change logo section. it is either website's own logo/branding... or the peacock logo, which the latter are active by default with that setting (Theme setting > Main Header > Enable Peacock default logo). it should be disabled in order to website own logo to be display.

    HI Shahed, the sticky sidebar is only working on Firefox for me, not Chrome, Safari, Brave or Edge - Mac OSX 12.5.1. Hide or show sidebar is working on them all. Any idea?

    Hello, I can confirm the issue. will be fix in next update. 👍for now you can add this in your custom.css

    html[data-sticky="side-sticky"] #ipsLayout_sidebar {
        overflow: unset;
    }

    How add icons to navigation?

    nice theme 😀

    Adding custom icons is a bit tricky in Invision platform, but I will try to add some more options in future updates.

    At the moment, there are pre-set icons and there is no option for add custom icons through theme setting. however all pre-set icons are listed in "_mvn_peacock_fonticons.css" and you can see how they work. for navigation links, for now best way is adding CSS class like this:

    .ipsNavBar_primary a[data-navitem-id="xx"]:before {content: "\Fxxxx";}

    for data-navitem-id, you can find id of a link like this:

    Could contain: Text, Number, Symbol

  20. 17 hours ago, bosss said:

    Yes!

    Well in this case I'm not sure it is even technically possible, since a Plugin/App will assign resources in all installed themes without exception. so if you want a plugin feature modify in a specific theme, the only way is manually edit plugin resource in that specific theme.

  21. 17 hours ago, Alex Duffy said:

    The print was a bad choice of word for text, it was late and I was tired.

    Your suggestion worked thank you. I added it in custom css.

     

    html [data-theme="dark"] .SG_record_right_with_image {
      background-color: #40403E;
    }

    I'm new to this system and I'm not a developer, I just learn enough to do our own websites. I have worked with Drupal and self hosting for 8 years, but Invision on cloud is doing what I could not without some training, so far so good. Thanks again

    Sure. glad it is worked. 👍

    @shahed

    Can we choose use navigations tool in theme where we will use?

    Not sure really understand it. you want using for example a toolkit's button in certain theme?

  22. 10 hours ago, Alex Duffy said:

    Great work, I love most of its features, but the dark more is not compatible with much of the print, it just doesn't show. I think that is an important feature and would like to see it fixed. But even without this it's still a very useful plug-in.

    Hi,

    What is the print?

    7 hours ago, Alex Duffy said:

    I should add its not compatible with Pages SuperGrid 3.2. The text does not show up and the images on the listings are also affected. Apart from that it seems to work well. 

    Well... extend of support for public releases are normally limited to Invision apps or my own, as simply I don't own/have other third-party resources, so on that part there is nothing to support to begin with.

    I only can say how my plugin works, so maybe helps to make other templates work with as well.

    • For css file, this plugin uses "navigationtoolkit.css" can be found in your theme edit CSS and HTML
    • Now, any custom class that exist in your website can be put through this format and will change style in Dark Mode:
    html[data-theme="dark"] .customClass {
        background: #333;
    }

    You can add any class in navigationtoolkit.css by this format, and that class will have different style in Navigation Toolkit's Dark mode. 👍
