The Dark Wizard

Thanks, good to know.

Hey All, Trying to see what the correct workflow for promoting someone to a group is manually. I assume it has to be done via subscriptions in Commerce? What is our use case? We accept currency via Patreon instead of our current forum currently (still working on our live conversion) and we manually give people an upgrade and an expiration date when a Patreon pledge comes in every month. Trying to replicate the same thing in IPB. It seems if I do "Free Forever", I can then go in manually and add an expiration date. I do not want the board to currently invoice or pester the member about anything, we are just trying to handle the automation of groups. After we finish our live conversion in the future, we will see about doing our own Patreon plugin or see if an existing one on the marketplace is updated or move to commerce, but currently manual is the way to go as we've already been doing it that way for years and we don't want to delay any more then we have to.

I guess not :(.

Perfect :D! We will take care of this on our end by the end of the month.

Then what we can do is utilize core/BBCode which, I believe, is indeed run for the rebuilding of content and then migrate to a full CKEditor plugin in the short future.

Would you happen to know if we design our custom plugin and install it before the conversion, if that would correctly format older posts or is that what we’d need core/BBcode for?

That was deprecated in 2017, though, and the guide is still up. We can use it now, to at-least get formatting done for the conversion and eventually switch over to CKEditor Plugins and Web Components. Out of curosity, if we design a full-fledged CKEditor Plugin, is that something we can use, or are we limited to just buttons?

We have a decent process to handle things among the staff, but I believe switching to IPS was unanimous. I assume this still works: Going to make a couple custom BBCodes we are missing at the end of August before the live conversion. Any plans to get rid of core/BBCode any time soon?

So happy to report back that apart from what @Daniel F is helping us with, we should be good to go after another test conversion or two. Styling is done Features/Third-Party Plugin shopping list is done Staff onboarding is mostly done. And just about everything else is mostly done, except writing user guides and staff guides, which is going to begin in earnest at the end of the month. Currently, the timeline will be: August - Staff meet up to finalize anything September - User Beta Site October 1 (or first week), the site goes down for the live conversion. Our excitement is barely containable.

Any plans for 4.7?

Indeed. IPS has some of the best stat view I've seen in a piece of software in the ACP, there's a lot. Giving some of that information to users like if their topic is popular, etc. would be pretty neat.

Hey All, I was wondering if there was supposed to be a prompt or suggestion for Push Notifications? I don't see any settings that would suggest such a thing. Furthermore, I only just realized I didn't have Push Notifications enabled for this community, only because I was looking around my settings casually and found it.

Yup :). Make sure that your third-party apps if any are also compatible or have a new version, but yeah, once you confirm everything, then it's as simple as hitting that update button.

Right, thank you 🙂

I thought priority support was no longer offered?
