Maybe he made a lot of money and gone on vacation in the alps.

 

Guess I need to get a refund for my renewal fee I just paid? InvisionHQ has not checked in here since May 29th and has not logged into his own support forum since April 30th

This is the one thing that is always concerning when buying apps and plugins. Disappearing developers. 👎

@Durango, why you keep mentioning me in this topic? I’m not InvisionHq’s wife or something! Please stop! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can't they download the .ics file for the event and import the file into their google calendar or are you looking for a connection/feed?
On a different note, I've just created this feedback topic as I think an expansion on the calendar app and integration with Google API would be very helpful.
 

We agree. The widget / drag n' drop system is planned for improvements at some point.

I would like to see additional widget container options as well, including full footer and full header spots. Not just above and below main content so that there's an option to have full width and still a sidebar.

I’d be interested in those features as well. Maybe a premium version of this?

I'm interested in this too.
Would you be able to make amazon and Ebay affiliate program work with this app?

Has anyone using this app incorporated ebay listing using ebay's api? My thought is to have ebay listings under the ads within each category as an option. There's a good earning potential with ebay's affiliate program. We used to run a classifieds section years ago and are looking into it again. We had ebay and amazon listings below with affiliate links using their api.

I saw an article about it today and its going to be leveraging more privacy and going as far allowing users to hide their emails by creating alternative emails with the 3rd party. Any emails to that created email will then forward through apple to the user. https://www.engadget.com/2019/06/04/sign-in-with-apple-privacy-security-google-facebook-wwdc/

I don't recall but if a user visits their notification settings and un-checks to Send me news and information, the check mark for the newsletter is still on. Do they receive the newsletter still with the main setting off? It doesn't shut off the newsletter toggle.

I still think having this in two different areas is misleading to users. Maybe a link under the notifications section to manage newsletters would be helpful. some don't find it right away.
I find that I can shut off the IPS setting in ACP but can't under the member page do this with the newsletter(s), so I have to login as the user and visit their settings when there is a request. It's too many steps as an admin.
Would be nice to have a setting under member view in ACP alongside and within the notifications settings.

Hi @TheJackal84
many thanks for your work.
1) Do you plan a counter in the menu how much members are in chatrooms as described by @AlexWebsites?

2) I think all users should be in the "Who's online"-list. Could you implement a setting if users can be anonym in chatroom or not?
3) We don't want to have chat messages in search, activity and so on. Is it possible?
4) If an user enters a chatroom all old messages should be killed. The chatroom should be empty. Is it possible?
 

You submit RSS like sitemaps, same area, they are just listed along with your sitemaps in the Google Webmaster.

I was of the same thought that the more you index will correlate to more traffic, but it just isn’t so if the content is not quality. Pages with what google sees as not valuable content (empty profile pages) can get dropped and if they don’t, don’t rank for anything good anyway. IPS default sitemap does include profile pages but excludes ones with no content, which I think is better. You don’t want spiders wasting time with pages that have no valuable/ranking content.
However, I do think some forum pages are not getting crawled for some reason and it’s likely due to content not being of value to Google or spiders not getting there. I also think older topics get ranked less than newer ones.
One thing I know works is to have well written topic titles, which in turn are your page title tags. I’ve edited many topic titles and have seen them rank better afterwards.

The more pages you send to Google to crawl, the more pages Google has to split its resources over. Google will have a finite "crawl budget" for your site - how much resources it will spend crawling your site. If you send Google a ton of links to crawl that are low quality, you ultimately take resources away from Google crawling your higher quality content. You will find that as usual, it's quality over quantity.
You are incorrect about profiles not being included in the sitemap (there is an option to toggle it off in the AdminCP - make sure it's enabled).

I have run an experiment for over a month. I have increased the number of entries in one sitemap from 500 to 1500 and have added lastmod date to the sitemap index that contains the last modification date of the newest entry in the sitemap (and NOT the timestamp of sitemap generation). Result: there was a slight increase in page indexed by Google, BUT there was no change in organic search traffic. 
For me it is not worth just increasing the number of pages in index if there is no influence on traffic. That's why I have given up to "optimize" the sitemap. Can somebody here give a prove that number of pages in Google index correlates with organic search traffic from Google? I mean the traffic is the goal at the end of the day and not the number of indexed pages.

The question is, has your organic traffic gone up with more indexed pages from your new sitemap?

Not yet.
If you hear nothing about it then it's purely because I haven't looked in it - when I do, and I make a decision, then I will update here.

It works on my end now, thank you.

I've uploaded a new version fixing this.
