I can't reproduce this!
1. we have the cleanup code in the Widgets delete method
2. I can confirm that it's called 
 
Please don't forget that it won't be removed immediately, there's a cleanup task which calls this frequently.

As far as I remember your widget didn't have a delete method?

I have created a reusable widget in my plugin and im using translatable form fields to save a title and content. and i do it just like how ips does it for example in Most Contributions widget ...\core\widgets\mostContributions it is a reusable widget with a translatable form 
 
i have added the delete method in my widget like this
public function delete() { \IPS\Lang::deleteCustom( 'core', $this->configuration['tacw_title_lang'] ); \IPS\Lang::deleteCustom( 'core', $this->configuration['tacw_content_lang'] ); } $this->configuration['tacw_title_lang'] returns the unique language key to delete 
but it does not delete anything and the key is still in the core_sys_lang_words in the database table 
@Daniel F  the default ips Most Contributions widget seem to have the same issue. the language string used for the title is not deleted in the database when the widget is removed! can you please help
 
 

this theme was updated recently to support latest ips version. only a bit of code in globalTemplate was required to change tho
if you have any issues with the theme please let me know 🙂 
 
 

I had some issues the last time I upgraded IPS before the theme update came out so I think I will wait until everything is hunky dory before going ahead. Now if somebody could reiterate to IPS that this infernal system update message that appears every day is seriously annoying..... 

I was delaying updating to the latest Invision software but after reading this thread, I ignored the warning and did the update.  Everything seems to be fine.  
Thank you Taman for your responses.

@TAMAN Wait, I think I get it now... I was so sure colors was pulled from the group formatting settings. Changing the color codes in your themes palette raw rgba values settings did the trick.

Actually I can't. I can't reproduce the problem. I just deactivated all plugins and activated them again and it started to work. So probably no fault on your end. Maybe even a cache problem or something.

Hi,
1. I uploaded a new version for ips 4.6.x today, it will be available to update 🙂 
2. if you still have the issue after the update you will need to check your modified templates and revert them back to default 
 

a new update was released please be patient as it gets accepted in ips marketplace 
whats fixed in the new update?
location issue was fixed. now you can select under user bar without haven any glitches or messing with userbar elements.  fixed z-index issue on sticky news ticker widgets.  
 
 
 

never tested in themes but you can check how translatable form fields need to be created by looking at ips templates  example... \core\widgets\achievements.php
basically, you would need to add the $value to core languages and then return that instead of the theme setting value
 

I dont see any issues on my sides 
plus achievements is new nothing of that is modified by  me to cause anything 
if you have modified templates then you will need to revert them back to default or update them for ips 4.6.x

I'll take a look. The original change was introduced for security, so we'll want to test any changes thoroughly to ensure there's no regression on that front.

@Stuart Silvester or @Ryan Ashbrook, is that right? IPS 4.6 uses it and we can't build resources:

I'm switching to 7.4.9, building the app and then going back to 8.0.7 to test the resource.
PHP site:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.libxml-disable-entity-loader.php

Apache Version: 2.4.48
PHP Version: 7.3.1
MariaDB Version: 10.3.12
 
I didnt fix shait i was unaware i switched back to php 7.3.1 which has no problem downloading plugin lol
i do not get the error on php 7.3.1 but 8.0.7

I don't have developer mode on.
I didn't think this was the normal behaviour, hence the reason asking for clarification on this.
I will update to version 4.6.2 and see if that fixes the issue. If that fails, I will do a fresh install instead.

not normal
unless you have enabled developer mode! which is... normal in that case 🦝
 

no worries the plugin will be updated soon just a few days maybe 2 😉 

Yeah, I updated to 4.6 before installing the plugin so IPS is kinda screwing me on that. Looking forward to a update xD

Hi,
The current version has no issues and will continue to work if you have already installed it!
but this plugin will also be updated soon for more improvements and new settings 🙂 

yea i removed it because i wanted the news ticker to be more customizable for example i dont want that red dot between image tickers. the red dot was always there before no matter what.
you can manually add a ticker and use it as a separator. for example a nice little red dot with font awesome icons https://fontawesome.com/v4.7/icon/circle  
simply add the below html as a ticker and paste it any where in the tickers field. ( in your case you need to paste it between each tickers )
<span><i class="fa fa-circle" style="color: red; font-size: 14px;"></i></span> --in the code above, the dot is red and the size is 14 px 🙂 you can change it. you can also change the font awesome tag with anything else 
for example another solution to add a nice separator between each of the tickers. you can add emojis.
 e.g. on windows 10 while adding/editing/creating tickers on your website. press (Windows + . ) on your keyboard to open emojis. then simply select the emoji 🙂 nice dots  🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣🟤⚫⚪
use case
<span style="color: red; font-size: 14px;">the color will be blue!🔵</span> you can also do it with css each news ticker has a unique id which you can apply on. but the above way is more efficient 
i have already uploaded a new version since yesterday but its not yet approved in marketplace. the new version included with one more location setting to show news ticker above user bar which is on top of the site 🙂 
also, in the widget news ticker you can already do that but the news ticker becomes sticky on top of the site.
no worries! ^^ 
 
 
 

Okay. I had been copying your code into the test site ticker which was still the old version – and as you have seen, that didn't work correctly.

I've now copied the code into the custom ticker on the live site – and it works perfectly. Obviously I should have done that first of all.

Couple of little things – the old ticker used to have a nice little red dot separating each message. It was a nice touch. Anyway that I can get that back?

Also, are you able to give me the tagline to move it up to the top?

If I can get that sorted, I'll leave you in peace! But thanks very much indeed for all your help.

the colors needed to be set on the ticker and not inside the ticker items, there was also no point haven links inside li tags
so the below code is the same thing as your old one and should work for both old and new version as well as future versions 
its also easy to understand the code if you wanted to change the colors!

Hi,
font size can be changed in the settings including colors! 
i also tested before posting the code to you. plus its only links and they show as tickers and it works when i just tested again!
what i posted to you, must be in custom tickers field and Not in any other elements inside the custom tickers. if you paste it in any element they WILL overlap on each other. this could also happen if this "testsite" you talking about uses older version of news ticker!
it could also happen if your news ticker was not properly updated. for example if you have edited the news ticker css/html templates, they will be marked as custom and custom css/html templates does not update during plugins/apps//themes or ips upgrades if you customized them.
 
 

last time i checked there were no changes in templates so all works fine if you update your site 
there is a new version coming tho with many new changes hopefully in the following weeks

trying to download a plugin in my dev localhost on ips 4.6.0 and im getting this error
