    AlexWebsites reacted to Mark H in spam   
    Just a note for the time being...
    One thing self-hosted folks can do is to block the IP range of the spammer(s) using 109.107.166.230, but that needs to be done in the server firewall.
    This would be the range to block for that service provider, in CIDR format:
    109.107.160.0/19
    which blocks 109.107.160.0 through 109.107.191.255
    And for that spammer in Iraq... that provider has a huge range of IP's, from 37.236.0.0 to 37.239.255.255 so I personally blocked a fairly small range for them which encompasses the one IP that spammer used:
    37.239.8.1/24
    (Note: I've added these on my own server already, and it appears I got to it before my sites were hit.)
    More blocks can be added as you notice them, but try to keep the ranges small. Blocking a too-large range can cause server issues under the right (wrong?) circumstances.

    I haven't had any reports of either things being an issue. Bouncer doesn't really run any complex database queries so I'm not sure why you would be seeing an issue like high CPU usage.
    Please create a ticket here: https://ipb.silvesterwebdesigns.com/support (you will need to register if you haven't already). Make sure you include as much information about the issue as possible and provide an FTP/AdminCP login.

    Yeah.. I was thinking to order such mod for our commerce.. best would be to set the deals/price drops categories or products, selectable from multi-select list.

    Hey,
    Some ideas to add to the Commerce system

    1.  To add when setting up a new product the option to enter the cost price for the product and not just the actual price sold to the customer.
    This way it will be possible to track the net profit and the actual income of the business by offsetting the cost of the product (maybe even adding it to the reports in the control panel, etc...)
    2. To add icons to products, for example: on sale, holiday sale, deal, etc. (icon on the product image in one of the upper corners)
    This will attract customers to buy more and it will be possible to highlight products in sale

     

     
    Thnx !

    I just noticed that mysql process on my server is at times peaking over 100% which I find odd. I've killed the process a few times to watch it go back up. I'll have to dig in. Running the latest IPS version and mysql 8.

    I watched the video and it's great to see that gallery video transcoding will be a cloud only feature...

     
    That's sarcasm...I hope they at least did something with the titles for SEO.
    It really would nice if you allowed self hosting customers to use AWS libraries on their own. Or give a developer the ability to create these features and support with a plugin or app. That goes for all the "cloud only" features. Your cloud pricing is just not comperable to self-hosting, especially multiple licences.

    Feature suggestion...add member content count to statistics so we can sort by members who have posted a good amount of content and dig into why they flagged as spam or have a bounce.

    AlexWebsites reacted to The Old Man in CloudFlare settings   
    No worries, I think to be honest, I'd rather see a proper dedicated section added to the support docs, as opposed to having to find a post or two with the relevant settings to use, no offence to I think it was Jim who shared his methodology.
    Just thinking aloud...
    I think adding support for the Cloudflare API perhaps as a Community Enhancement could be useful ...
    for providing a way to only clear html pages and not all content including images, videos, the kitchen sink etc, plus... for fine grain control when specific content has been updated like a new post, topic or article. It would be nice to be able to see some stats in the AdminCP Dashboard the ability to add a list of pages to never cache, one per line, supporting wildcards (3rd party plugins could hook into or extend) and to be able to have a 'preload' option to effectively prime the cache after clearing, say for all main index pages and maybe top 20 content items, or maybe use the sitemap to help prime the cache. To add blocklist IP addresses, bots etc. I like idea of CF Workers being there as a backup, also should headers do get mangled by Apache, a plugin inadvertently sends whitespace in the header or CF decides to do its own thing and cache stuff it shouldn't. Edge cases I know.

    You're able to see the current pages keywords and the avg position where it ranks on Google.

     
    In a future release we'll log the keywords and use them to generate automatic/semo automatic internal links to get even a much better boost

    Just some suggestions, not sure if they exist.
    Option to default the check box to on for online event and RSVP:


    This is to help ensure members go this route for engagement and see the online event url box. Especially if mostly online events in the community.
    Also better block to use in the suite like:

    Argo is a paid addon. So be aware if you enable it that there are extra costs. There is nothing special you need to use to enable it. Just check the box and agree to pay. What it does is create a second caching layer. When an edge server does not have an object it can try a “regional” server to get a cached object instead of going all the way back to origin for it. 

    Regarding SSL… if you have a valid origin certificate, use Full encryption. It means CF will check to make sure there is a valid cert at edge AND origin. If not, it will fail the request and return an error.  Flexible means it will ignore origin cert check. So if you don’t have a cert, use the Flexible setting.  Strict will check for a valid cert that is not expired and with a valid Certificate Authority. 
    Ignore this if you don’t have a self signed cert that you want trusted by CF’s strict mode.

    Edge certificates would be the certificate served to users when they access your site through CF. The certificate from your host is called an origin certificate. 

    Just use the free universal certificate. It’s valid and works fine.

    Yes.  Here's why:
    When someone makes a request via HTTP for the resource, it's directed to the server.  That very first request is over HTTP until the server rewrites it into HTTPS.  The conf_global will keep it in HTTPS, but that initial load may be over HTTP until upgraded.  
    HSTS tells the BROWSER don't allow this.  For a period of time (say 6 months), the browser will automatically upgrade any HTTP connections to HTTPS for the domain.  
    Basically it's enabling the encryption BEFORE it actually reaches the server (meaning CF in this case).   If you're doing this, you never need CF to handle forcing SSL.  It happens via HSTS and stays that way via conf_global.php in your file paths.
