Hi,

I've done some research. In order to use Stadia you have to register a free account. Once registered, you can whitelist your domain within your account settings.

Thank you Martin. Much appreciated. 

Hi @Martin A.

I've purchased your Application as I wanted to understand how it all works.

Quick question, I have tried to set any of the 'Stadia' maps options to show and they are all blank. Checked on Safari and Chrome, both the same.

Jim

@Martin A. and @Steve Bullman,

Afraid my knowledge of what the maps can and cannot do is limited, so maybe some form of restriction from entering a postcode, street name or physically dropping a pin? So this would force the user to only type in a town, city?

However if that is possible, maybe consider some form of user group based permissions...

For example I would want to restrict my members to protect their privacy etc, but I have Club Sponsors who as a business would want their exact location pinning and I would consider having pins for events/meeting locations etc.

Regards

Hello,

Go to the app settings and uncheck the Display flags everywhere or something then you’ll see all the apps you have. Choose the ones you want the flags to show.

Thanks for the reply. I have done this, but by selecting Forums it displays everywhere, ideally I'd like this to only display next to the Members Username alongside their post as per the screenshot:

Could there be some consideration for finer settings where it displays within the forums as there are a lot of places currently...

Regards

Jim

Also the option of it showing on the 'Who's Online' Widget?

Hi @Adriano Faria,

Thanks for the application. Is there a way or consideration for this to be displayed on just the members post rather than everywhere in the forums please?

Hi,

Am I able to restrict how precise a member can pin their location.

I'm happy for members to select their town / general area, but not any more specific than that for security/safety.

Regards

Jim

Hi @opentype

I've probably purchased this when its slightly out of my technical ability.

There is mention of a PDF Guide, but because of the installation being done via the AdminCP, I obviously don't have this. Is this something you are able to provide me please?

Regards

Wrap whole sidebar template bit by this code:

{{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id}}
	...default sidebar template bit content...
{{endif}}

 

Fantastic, thank you Dawid! Really appreciate your time and as always, excellent support!

Doable via manually editing theme. Its possible for you? I can provide instruction. 

That would be great please Dawid.

Top man, thank you @DawPi never even gave it a thought to check there...

I've restricted profiles and search.

However, still have popular contributors showing and some other sidebars... any idea how to completely restrict access to sidebars??

Jim

I'm either missing a setting(s) that's obvious, or what I am after doesn't exist...

I'm setting up a forum for someone who requires a fairly unique setup.

When it comes to guest access, there appears to be limited options to help achieve what I need.

Option 1 - No access to forums:

If I don't allow them to the website, they are simply presented with the login page... there is no menu bar showing (even though its set to show to guests)... this is too extreme as they cannot even read some of the pages I have created... so cannot see this being an option as I can't even add a text box with links that they can view.

So this takes me to option 2...

Option 2 - Limited access to forums:

So giving them access to the website and preventing them from reading posts seems the logical step... however, two issues...

They can view the sidebar blocks... which means they can see members... which in turn means they can view the members profiles... this cannot happen.

I simply want guests to:

• View the certain menu buttons I've granted access to (sorted by allowing access to forums)
• Not see any of the forums (sorted via permission) or
• Not be able to view sidebar (issue)
• Not be able to see members names / access their profiles (issue because of the sidebar)
• Not be able to search (I've set this to one search per day to limit this... I'm really surprised there isn't a setting to stop guest searching)

Any ideas or suggestions how to achieve this??

@Goza Spot on mate, thank you very much, never gave the restricted moderator access a thought!

Cheers

Jim

Ok, so one big issue with my plan...

If unverified users are posting into an introduction forum so that they can be verified, it means they can see all the other unverified posters topics... which is a big issue.

So is there a way to allow someone within the unverified group, to post and reply to their own topic, but not see any other topics within the same forum section??

Jim

Thanks both.

Whilst I know my use case is limited, I'm sure there will be others that could benefit from an feature like this. I've PM'd DawPi to see if he can take this on.

Cheers

Jim

@Joel RThanks for your time to make those suggestions.

I think I'm going to test out DawPi's Referral System as one option existing members to help grow the forum.

Then, as per your option 3... for anyone who joins directly, put them into an 'unverified' group that can only post in an introductions forum, giving verified members the ability to confirm who they are.

I guess here is maybe a potential for an application...

A button within the introduction topic that allows a verified member to click to confirm they know them and automatically verifies the member? Not sure if that's possible?

Just now, Joel R said:

How will verified members validate the unverified members?  With photos, text descriptions, or what?  

Mainly by name as they either currently or used to work with them... however, the obvious issue, if they don't register with their name or their name is different now. So that option is pretty much out.

Hi all,

I am after any advice, suggestions or examples you have implemented please...

I have a new forum that I need to vet/assess new account registrations to ensure they are allowed on... however, I have no way of personally doing this, only the existing members will be able to confirm.

So I can see there is a 'Referrals System' and an 'Invite System' applications which are options, however pose some issues in terms of the invite process as they require email addresses. The Referrals System is the more flexible of the two for my needs.

My only other thought is to allow anyone to register and put them into an 'unverified' group with restricted posting to only one forum section where the already verified members can then reply to their post to confirm they know them... this is obviously tedious for Admin/Staff as they gave to manually move the user to a 'verified' group.

So has anyone else come across this issue and how do you manage it?

Regards

Jim

I think the easiest way is to take advantage of Calendar app and enhance it from there. Or do you want something totally different/new?

Hi Adriano,

I'm really looking for something completely new, ultimately so that it can feel separate to the forums.

Hi,

I am looking for a developer to create an Event Application.

I will explain in more detail with the chosen Dev, however as an overview:

• Interactive Event Map with pins showing locations of events
• Ability for certain users groups to purchase event submission
• Submission of events as one off or reoccurring
• Ability to 'attend' and show list of attendees
• All Events Listed with filtering ability and search Function
• Event Information, including optional images, free text, links

I am looking for someone to build this and maintain in the future, with a view to working on enhancements and bug fixes.

Looking for someone to be able to start this project immediately ideally.

Preference will be to someone who can evidence previous work with IPS Applications.

Regards

Jim

@InvisionHQ

Hope you can help me...

I've disabled the user menu buttons in favour of re-creating them on the main menu.

The only one I cannot do is the 'My Adverts' as the link includes my profile specifically:

http://xxxxxx.com/profile/1-jim/content/?type=classifieds_advert

What would the URL need to be so that regardless who clicks it, it will go to their profile please?

Regards

Jim

Unfortunately, don't. That's how the Commerce works:

 

The money should go to the advert owner as Account Credit. He needs to request withdraw to receive it on PayPal effectively

The problem I see is that the commerce seems to have been made to meet the specific needs of IPS.  There's a lot that needs to be improved to really look like a virtual store / sales site

Ah... I was about to ask this question wondering what I was doing wrong trying to assign a payment method to a user's store submission.

I now see no actual payment processing can be done member to member. A real shame but I totally understand this is out of your control

Looks like I'm going to have to manually add the products for the 3rd party company in my Store and add their payment processing that way.

I'm actually really surprised in 8 years since I was last using IPS, the store/nexus hasn't progressed more.

Thanks very much for a fantastic application 😄

Hi Stu,

Has the issue with using links from Andy's Classifieds system been fixed yet? Would like to use this product, but want to make use of the Classifieds system too.

Regards

Jim

Cheers Stuart :)

Stu,

I am currently using this on a test board, before I upgrade my clubs... I am going to be using Andy's Classifieds system and want to enable the 'required link' submission.

If I use a classifieds url:

http://www.xxxxxx.com/forums/classifieds/item/4-test-product/

Its not accepted.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Jim
