Great mod guys, thanks for all the efforts.

I have a few questions ;

1. I have seen that there are translation strings as "group_pin_icon" for the group icons but I can not find a setting to change the icon. 
2. How does the Enable Profile Sync actually work ? I have the Location field filled by members. They usually write the city names they live in. If I select this field and enable the sync what is supposed to happen ?
3. What happens if the city names are not exactly given or not matched cause of Turkish characters ?

Hello,

Widgets do not depend on the chosen theme. 1 widget for all themes.

In this case 5 skins = 5 pickers, 10 skins = 10 pickers etc

I get your point, you are right but there are also several sites ( like mine ) who prefer to run a single theme made default which this option can easily work. 

@newbie LAC that is what @almax is trying to tell. If a color picker or hex color code field is selection is given to user he/she can choose or write the suitable color code according to the theme used.

I'm looking for people who are willing to help with testing for Facebook/Twitter signups. Both with email validation enabled and disabled. If your forum is available, please PM with ftp and acp login details.

Hi Mike, we found out that Facebook logins did not fulfill our requirements. When Facebook logins are enabled required fields like sex,location and birthday are not filled and if sex field is "required" it autofills the filed with one of the values ( all memebers were marked as female on our case ) which makes the signup useless for our case. So I will not be able to participate the test at the moment but anyway thanks for the hard work.

No worries.

Hi Mike,  I am back and can test the code if you like

I'm going to need some time before I can revisit this but I do have a theoretical bit of code that may work. If you want to test it, let me know and can put together the instructions.

I would like to test it but I am currently out of town. I will PM you when I am back

What user validation setting do you have currently set?

Email

@Mike John I was testing login with facebook functionality and found out that for users logging in with facebook do not receive a welcome message or email.

My forum highly depends on the welcome messages and email the new users receive to get into the community. Can this be achieved ?

Note: I hgave not tried for twitter or other login options. This problem may or may not be true for those

I just realised that there is a conflict with tapatalk

With Auto Welcome 2.4.8 installed I upgraded one of my sites to 4.1.8.1 and it is working properly. 1 email + 1 PM after email validation..

Just installed on 4.1.8 - Will not allow for user authentication via email or admin approval, just goes to a error 500 page. Remove the app and everything works fine. 

Do you also have a cron job set or "Run Automatically with Traffic" setting ?

I'll think about it.

Actually I have been requesting this filter option from IPS for months but still could not succeed. That is one of the most missed option from SMF

Hello,

1. You can use setting "Include forums". Don't select the forum.

2. Currently no.

I am aware but to unselect a few forums I need to select over 100 forums. That is not fair   I believe it would be really helpful to have that option.

Hi @newbie LAC is it possible to add Exclude Forum option ? Cause I need this block and also need to put it by an exclution option. I have a forum that ppl introduce themselves and I dont want them to be seen in this block.

I know it is not possible with most of the widgets but can it be used twice on the same sidebar ?

As I already said: I think it's a bug because the PM will be send as soon as the member joins the community - and afterwards the message will send again as soon as the member confirms his/her mail address. This would explain why the delay between the two PMs can be up to some minutes. (I checked this by using the PM Viewer)

That makes sense

Two languages but only one is active, the other is disabled via ACP.

Ok, thanks,  that may give a clue to @Mike John

The only error I get is that PMs are sent twice. Maybe it's because the mail address has to be verified before you can use my forum? It looks like the first PM will be send upon registration and the second one upon verification. I'll send you login details for troubleshooting.

That is what I was to report. I have the same error. I thought that could be related to number of languages . I keep English so that support can access and help on my issues and use Turkish as my default. 

Do you have two languages or a single one ? 

The other bug I have realised is that when I leave email sender as empty ( in which the board email should be used normally ) it is saved without any problem but I go to other menus within ACP come back and see that my user is set as the sender.

IPB support fixed the issue :

MySql server "Server connection collation" was "utf8mb4_unicode_ci"
They changed my DB and table collations to "utf8mb4_unicode_ci"

All of characters are Turkish in tables now, and forum displays as is.

Thank you.
 

Glad it is fixed.

ith or without "ut8" line, new posts are Turkish charset in DB. But old posts are utf8 charset.

No conversion process between forum - db. Forum displays what you get from db.

 

The behaviour with new posts is what it has to be. 

I am afraid ( and I hope I am wrong ) you will need to convert the old posts to look normal. That was what I had to do long ago when I was using SMF .. I hope support has a better solution for this..

Thank you.
Currently :
Server connection collation : utf8mb4_unicode_ci
Database collation : utf8_unicode_ci
All table's collation : utf8_unicode_ci

I added a line to conf_global.php "$INFO['sql_charset'] = 'utf8';" but nothing changed.

The solution may not be that simple. with cong_global having sql_charset as utf8 can you do a test and post a message to board with Turkish characters and see how the records look like both in forum and db ? If all look ok  you may need to do something with db.

Hello
I created a ticket to IPS about this issue, unfortunately I didn't receive an answer for 48 hours.
I upgraded 3.2 to 4.1. I have a character set collation problem. My forum uses Turkish character set.
3.2 DB has utf8 character set. I see "Özgür" in DB, but "Özgür" in forum - this was OK.
4.1 upgrade tool convert it to utf-8 again. I see "Özgür" in DB, but "Özgür" in forum - this is incorrect.
Also, members login name with Turkish character set can not login successfully cause of this issue.
If I post a new message with Turkish characters, I see my post with Turkish characters not utf8 in DB. I think this is a problem. Upside down

How can I find reason and fix this problem ? I think there is no need to convert tables, it must remain utf8.
Is there any parameter within IPB config files ? Or do I need to change mysql server client/server/connection collation character set values ?

Hi Selçuk,

Normally when collation of DB is set to UTF-8 and configuration of the forum has the charset="utf-8" setting you should see all characters in Turkish form both in forum and DB. That is what I see in mine at the moment.

Would you mind sharing those extra rules? Just want to see how you did it....

Thanks

Sorry for the delay. Here are the rules I have written after the upgrade.  There may be mistakes so any corrections and suggestions are welcome

# Old DB Homepage to new one. Replace dbname with your DB name in production 
RewriteRule ^page/dbname /dbname [R=301,L]
# Old DB articles to new one
RewriteRule ^page/dbname/_/(.*) /dbname/$1 [L,R=301]
# Old forum links to new one.
RewriteRule ^forum?$  /forums [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/?$  /forums [R=301,L]

Did you get a white page?

Like this - Link

This is what happens for me, yet mostly it takes forever to even load.

In a way , yes. Since the page contents on old version differed from the new ones I had to rebuild my blocks and pages. That may be the reason that you got white pages but it is normal cause the templates, block etc all are different from the old version.

Since I had a test site and I know what I was going to see, I was prepared and able to build my pages in minutes.

Did you also notice that your home page and forum also takes almost a minute ( 50-55 seconds ) to load ? I believe you have a server side issue rather than application..

By the way this is what I get when I click the link above ( after almost waiting 3 minutes )

Connection Timed Out

Description: Connection Timed Out

Sure I can but they all depend on the DB names. Currently I dont have access to my .htaccess, I can post them when I go home.

By the way I was told by IPS Support that the redirection would be made automatically but there was a bug. It was tolda to be fixed in 4.1 but still remains. I have an open ticket for it waiting for a reply.

Did anyone upgrade IP.Content in the process from 3.4 to either 4.0 or 4.1?

Probably the worst effected side for me, yet I have managed to get most of it back working. I do find it frustrating, as this seems to be a poor area during the process and now I am left with articles which are unable to be reached.

@Woodsman did you upgrade IP.Content?

My upgrade from 3.4.8 to 4.0.13 included IP.Content and it was flawless. The only problem I had was old URLs were not directed to the new ones for which I had to write rules to .htaccess
