Yep - here you go 🙂

Thought I'd put this here with this bug @Marc Stridgen, rather than create a new topic. This isn't via translation like Chris above as our website is English - this is showing when you have many events showing on the Browse By Month view.

Thanks @sound, however I'm trying to not touch custom css as much as possible so it caters to as close as the product IPS offer. Whilst I'm happy to support your suggestion, i'm also realistic - I'm trying to focus on the most needed fix to the newest code deployed as I know we can't get every little change possible. I've wanted the RSVP ability to auto switched on for a long time now but I can handle that abit easier as i've tried my best to educate our community on how events worked for the past 4-5 years. I don't believe I can even toggle off the 'Online Events' section either on the overview so as you can see, trying to work out an overall workaround is proving difficult.

I'm hoping after the recent release there is some form of Hypercare or post-live support changes where we can make amendments to newly live functionality. We need the ability to toggle off one of the ways events can be made to stop unnecessary re-work from admins and mods correcting Events post creation. Ironically I had to re-work the existing Calendar function already into Events some years ago with Translation and used the physical addresses as the 'online' places people would get together. As we are a gaming family (and many here are too) this is more considered to be via platform/console rather than Zoom, or business calls. So we're now in a tough spot because I need to work out if we have to reverse engineer the options and words on the Events system because a user can select to make it an Online event easily (and logically they will) whereas actually its better to make it a 'physical' event because people like myself have updated the Physical addresses for the set virtual places people meet already. With an option to be able to toggle off Online or Physical Events in the small settings it has in the AdminCP, this would be the quick solution. I think there are better ways to implement a change but arguably take longer to code so I'm looking for that quick tactical fix like other companies do post launch. I feel a little sad as I don't like to be too critical of changes - I want my comments always to have a positive spin on them, even if there is some constructive feedback involved so we can keep moving forward. I feel with this change, it wasn't what anyone expected and with the ability/chance to give feedback earlier in the process I think these types of changes that feel common sense, could hopefully be avoided in the future on first release. Fingers crossed you can still make quick changes on this Overview as soon as possible. I've adapted our way of working over the years to the Calendar/Events and converted our members to understanding the way to still make it fun and engaging - I'm just trying to ensure we don't have to backtrack any further than necessary. Thanks in advance to anyone that can support this change.

@Marc Stridgen where should I give feedback? Suggestions area? I'm really hoping we can get some quick changes and improvements to follow the recent update.

Thanks @Daniel F for confirming. @Adriano Faria, hopefully the update to 4.7.3 isn't too difficult for this app to be released soon? Many thanks both.

Hi @Adriano Faria, which IPS person can I tag to see where the pending version of this one is at all? I thought I double checked all of the plugins before upgrading to 4.7.3 but alas this one has triggered the compatibility marker and been disabled. Thanks for your help as always.

Thanks Adriano for the quick reply. Are you aware of any other plugin that gives this information at all?

Not sure how I didn't see you create this one @Adriano Faria, I've been using an old plugin here from Jimmo to show all content posts which looks exactly like this one. Installed yours now, as this detail is fantastic and helps drive engagement for each function - I can see it being more valuable than the standard Leaderboard that comes with IPS due to the options and detail this has. How can we see total Posts as a filter at all? This is probably the remaining function missing that can will allow me (and others) to make all these blocks stand out on a standalone page via Pages. Thanks for another great plugin Adriano.

Hi @Matt and @Jordan Miller, this suggestion seems to have picked up some fantastic traction! Any thoughts on whether this could be part of the core in a soon-ish release at all? I'll obviously believe the 'Who Was Online' functionality is one which definitely would add significant value/enhancements to your block thats currently available out of the box. Thanks in advance! 🙂

Actually, I need a few more polls from users using your poll system to see if they don't pop. I have basic Achievement rules set up on the back on 'New poll created' and also if they vote on polls. I'm searching for clarification as to the IPS system recognises your polls as official polls so these rules will still work. I assume they will but I wanted to get confirmation if so. I'm also thinking @Kirill Gromov that once you update the app with all other polls, if a member creates a poll in the IPS standard way, it will show on the Poll page? I'm updating today, so if you can let me know when the next update of this is out that would be great so i can manage member expectations. Thank you!

I don't think polls are hitting the activity feed @Kirill Gromov. Also, don't think the system is picking up that its a poll either which will break our achievements unfortunately. Any chance you can take a look when you get chance please? Thanks

I haven't upgraded yet as i'm waiting on a few applications to be compatible... are they very visible in terms of the view, especially on mobile?

Ah, I tried that already but didn't work sadly!...then I thought I was doing something wrong with the commas so posted here 😅 Happy to try again now though.... EDIT: The clear cache in ACP did the trick after re-entering as I did previously, thanks @Nathan Explosion!

Oh wow, didn't expect something like @Nathan Explosion, cheers for looking into helping! Just had a look at changing them, how can you override the options? Also, you might be interested to find that the current default Page order doesn't match the numbering already, so I actually don't think Database ID dictates the order unfortunately.

Well, I added it to the Suggestions based on your responses (although I hear @Nathan Explosion's fingers furiously typing quickly 😅), as I'm hoping it can be part of the core IPS, just like Menu Manager is. It makes complete common sense to do so as its one of the main functions people use as they come to an IPS driven website. 🙂 They're all waiting for you though, Nathan...... 😉🍻

The Create feature is a core function and I was today years old when I found out you can re-order the large IPS applications in a certain order on the Applications page to help with this. However, Pages is the most powerful IPS feature here and allows every user to define different things to use to make their websites more valuable and useable. I now understand that the order follows the database ID rather than any particular common sense logic you would probably expect in this section. The create function works in very similar ways to the 'Menu Manager' function. These two go hand-in-hand for your journey around your website and adding content. I'd like to ask for the ability to change the order on how the Create function looks in the core IPS - my suggestion would be that all the ability you need is within the Menu Manager function already, so duplicating this feature for this menu would be the most ideal way to deliver this. A few screenshots on what I'm referring to below: Create menu with in random order for Pages functions Menu Manager core function showing the necessary functions needed for the Create bar Hopefully if people agree, we can get some reactions and comments below. Thanks in advance all 🙂

Ahhh @Nathan Explosion, that gets me somewhere very quickly! Can't believe I didn't see that order before, thank you! In terms of the Pages order though, as they can have multiple pages and items, I can't see that the order correlates with the Pages databases in our AdminCP...so is there any tricks to easily manipulate these items at all?

Wondering if someone can help me understand how to change the order of this core feature. The '+Create' function is always in a strange order depending on what people have active on their website. I need the ability to change the order so it follows common sense in what people want to do most of first, as well as potentially change some wording if required to make more sense. I think wording with some I know I can change within the Pages database when you create them as you can give them a name, but if there are other ways please shout up. Main issue really is the order of things....it does feel like this seems to be a core function most of us have that would be better suited alongside the 'Menu Manager' but obviously I know thats more of a suggestion to add.

Thanks for the quick response @aXenDev, I'll ask in the Help & Support area. Cheers! 🙂

Oh man, that would be amazing if you could! Main reason is i've used Polls Wall for a long time and reviewing our Applications as part of the latest software update, I don't believe it will be kept updated any longer and I would rather invest in yours as yours does far more than that one in the way you can create polls - in some ways you've answered an IPS question they asked the community a while back on how to improve the polls function! I'll explain to our members that the existing will show on the page at some point in the future when you have the next update out (if possible) and we can hopefully start using your way of doing the polls now! Last question for now....if this ever had to be removed/lose this app, will the polls stay on the website as effectively forum posts with polls? I assume so as you must be using the Poll settings in the IPS core?

Hi @aXenDev, still loving this theme, not felt the need for change for a long time now! Wondering if you can help me understand if this feature below can be added to the theme perhaps? The '+Create' function is always in a strange order depending on what people have active on their website. I need the ability to change the order so it follows common sense in what people want to do, as well as potentially change some wording if required to make more sense. Is this something that can be included within the theme edit options at all? Thanks in advance!

Morning @Kirill Gromov, looks like I bought it thinking this was a page that brings in all polls....but it doesn't show any existing polls on this page? Are these polls that IPS recognise? As in a forum post with a poll? It will break my structure if its seen as anything else unfortunately.

Thanks for that @LemonGrenade - glad there is something more up to date if people are desperate to spend more to get the data working now. However, I think what @drawncodes is looking for is for this to be a core function rather than an additional plug-in we've paid for separately before, I know I certainly am 🙂 From an aesthetic point of view too, seeing the profile avatars rather than just the profile name, suits the way many websites have evolved. A bit like this: People connect visually more so of late and they sometimes look out for their favourite user by their profile avatar.

Super! Looks like I'll move to this shortly then from the Polls Walls I was using! Just waiting for other applications to be compatible before upgrading to 4.7.3 and then I'll purchase this app too so it can go live with the new events look. Thanks Kirill!
