All Astronauts

Well, see, the thing is, you step away from something long enough, and come back to it with fresh eyes and forgotten knowledge and stuff jumps out at ya. Cryptic? I think I solved Wasabi finally. DigitalOcean Spaces probably as well. Both with the signed temporary urls for attachments and Downloads. I might charge a touch as I'm probably throwing this into an app and adding in ACP widgets for the service status stuff. Gonna simultaneously poke things and mull things over, if it is possible to do both at once. It was such a benign, little, utterly ignorable thing too...

The background and avatar stuff can easily be optioned, probably the theme stuff too.

I should change that text there. It's invert being applied, so whatever you have jacked in there (I assume manually?) - it will be stock on 0 and inverted colors on 1, various grays 0.1 to 0.9 and so on. So the text reads o white, 1 black as the default IPS logo is white. What do you mean by responsive? Desktop and Tablet views the logo is IPS code. For phone view I insert the logo (IPS has it completely removed in that view). I see *that* logo of mine does not respect the invert settings though. Might have to give that a think though as that top area usually does not match the side bar colors so applying the same invert might not be best. Might need some more settings for that view.

Wasabi is fantastic for what they are - a storage service - but that's really all they are and that is specifically their niche. For those not in the know, for Wasabi your monthly egress should match more or less what you have stored. Store 100gb? Monthly out should be 100gb, though I doubt they will care much if it is 150 or a touch more. If you are pushing that egress out DAILY you are going to get cancelled. There are two ways around this: 1) Store dummy data. People create a separate bucket, and just manually through an S3 tool dump whatever in there. 100gb real files, 900gb dummy files, = 1tb monthly egress. You get the idea. Need more egress? Add another TB to your storage bill (that would be 2TB for 12/month) and fill that up and now your 100gb of real files have 2tb of monthly egress. 2) The common sense solution? If you are egressing at a massive level daily I have no idea why you do not have a CDN in front of your server. Cloudflare, BunnyCDN, others... This is exactly what they are there for. You end up with a build out as follows: Server: For IPS install, serving the site, some files. Wasabi/S3: Off-load the STORAGE of tons of user generated file content, or Downloads files, etc. This saves you paying for large amounts of storage on your webserver where storage costs are typically not viable (only so much room on the server itself). Not to mention you can blow your egress bandwidth out on the web server. CDN: Takes the massive load off your server and off-site storage by caching and serving all those files. Small hobby sites will never have to worry about most of this. You can get by with just a web server, or a web server and S3-type storage somewhere. If you actually are moving gigabytes to terabytes of data DAILY between your web server and off-site storage you either have the deepest of pockets or you "know a guy" (I know guy who back in the day ran a few Counter Strike servers out of his nationally-known airline regional office for awhile. Think they were in a closet. And then an off-site higher-up opened the closet and then he was out of a job. lol) - or, you've set up your site with a CDN. FYI all, this has been known for awhile but Backblaze is one of those providers that really, really, wants everything signed. I can hack this plugin to be compatible-ish with it but it ends up with attachments and Downloads files to be downloaded as filename.ext.abcd1234efgh5678 as unsigned requests may not contain content-disposition or content-type which makes your browser pull the file "as-is" and that means the IPS appended (and usually necessary) alphanumeric comes along for the ride. Not an ideal situation for your end-users.

Got a patch inbound. This is the limit the # of attachments bit which I *DID* fix (see posts further above) but apparently clipped a leading \ off at some point when calling \IPS\.... No idea... Taking a moment to also double secret verify this is all good. EDIT: Submitted and support ticket opened to push it to the front of the pile.

From File Storage to AMZ S3 while IN_DEV. Works fine when not IN_DEV. Tis' odd, might be something worth poking though. 4.6.3 106117, PHP 7.3.19

Yes... And that's the thing that this plugin effectively "does", which won't work with, as you found out, a number of providers. Someone up-thread (or privately) mentioned that when a user tries to dl a file and hits the temporaryDownloadUrl method there is "something" and the signature is doubled or generated twice or ??? (it's been awhile...) and that might be part of the problem with not-Amazon services as well. I just needed Wasabi to fully work, ran into the attachments dl problem, and threw this down to route around the problem. Everything else?

Its a special hell when services say they are S3 compatible and they are...mostly S3 compatible. Its the mostly that ends up being a hitch "somewhere". Reminder to all about this derpy thing. It does NOTHING at all, anywhere, other than when a user tries to download an attachment - then it wipes the signature in the temporary download url the user hits so they can get it when your non-Amazon S3 service chokes on the signature IPS generates (as IPS is locked in to Amazon exclusively). That's it. If you have problems using alt-S3 services (using the service at all, moving files, etc.), it's not on this plugin. When you try a not-Amazon S3 service, run through the basics. Can you upload a file via the service through Invision Community? If uploads work, can you delete? If so, can you move the files this S3 service and local storage (File System)? If so, you are in probably in business. Then, for completeness, if your users might be able to download the files that are stored on this service (Downloads, Attachments, etc.) give that a try. If it fails, throw this plugin in and see if clearing the signature lets them through (something something public buckets etc.). If it doesn't work you are sol or you'll need to find someone to write a full new filestorage method. FYI, if you go this route, there be dragons. You should have a firm control of your dev ops at a minimum... If IPS support gives you grief if you submit a ticket regarding S3 problems because you have this plugin installed, then just uninstall this plugin and try them again (as stated above this plugin ain't doing much...). That said, I would not expect much from that request anyways as I'm pretty sure they are not going to help you with the S3 problems you have with your not-Amazon S3 service. IPS officially supports Amazon S3. Anything else is going to be outside IPS support scope.

Probably but it's EOL. Last supported was 4.4 That's the up-to-date version, an app now so much more extensible. Will be adding support for lots of stuff.

Pretty sure its fine as is. Apologies for anyone not getting responses to PMs here. I'm... behind. As to this, I need to take another run at this. The problem is IPS will NOT allow any columns added to their own tables any more. Period. Full stop. I have this fixed for Pages for record view, and category view (I think - been awhile). But database index view is a problem as they do not active record that stuff. Its a direct database query. I get a little leery the further up I go, getting closer to lower level functions, for hooking and changing things. I probably shouldn't worry; I usually bullet proof stuff enough anyways to not spill over. But this is not as simple as slipping into the AR routines as Pages is messy in this regard (probably because the entire thing is an abstraction itself) Anyways, I'll poke this bear. FYI most of my junk was updated to 4.6 but IPS staff are back-logged with MP approvals so might still be awhile.

Just a note this is now up in the MP for 4.6

Just a note in this ancient thread that this was submitted for 4.6 (and 4.5). Still working like a champ. Note sometimes after editing the widget settings the widget disappears when you close out the widget management menu. Just refresh the page and you are back in business. Added a css one-liner to remove extra pricing information so now the widget is just the image and the base price. Nice and lean. Available when approved but as you can imagine staff likely have a massive backlog right now.

Just about everything is being updated. A lot of it is already in review but you can understand that Daniel and Stuart and whoever else are swamped right now. This one was submitted two days ago? Something like that. Lies, just subbed it now.

I could tell you another secret for getting the dev files but... <muffled sounds> <you catch a glimpse of a random IPS staffer dragging a limp body into the distance>

2.0.0 submitted. Avail when it's approved. For 4.6 and up, not for y'all lingering on 4.5.x REMOVED! Lazy Load on userphoto template - IPS has included same natively with 4.6 FIX! Limiting attachments in forum posts was either slightly broke or just slightly broke on 4.6; patched. NEW! Recent Status Updates widget now with three possible views AND you can customize the number of lines output per update - no more three line limit! TWEAK! for when displaying both topic and post count stats together to add more room for larger counts NEW! Remove the icon area from Forum index displays. NEW! Append <new> badges at the end of forum titles when new content is within in index view - combine with removed icon area for a clean lean look. NEW! Above also does the same for link forums and password-protected forums. And the usual etc... and 4.6 compatibility yada yada New options to go ambient with forum views (on index, and forum blocks within forums). Remove the icon area, append badges instead of those dot when there is new content, matching badges for password and link forums, yes, on click, they will mark the respective forums read and so on. I do this on my sites and customs and got tired of hacking themes all the time so jammed it in here. Two new status update widget views. Expands the content to fill the block which is so much better and, because I wanted it and no longer could wait for it, you can customize the number of lines displayed per-update beyond the default three. I sound like a broken record but it is so much better being able to read most if not all of the usual updates people post without it getting severely truncated. For those tracking my updating for 4.6, Spacious ACP is probably next, then Viewers, then I need to look at some older plugins that had some problems officially coming up to the 4.5 line. Toodles. 👩‍🚀

FYI this is a dead topic more or less, for ye'olde 4.4.x plugin. For 4.5 and up support with the KS APP go here:

Not sure how they can change that to be more obvious, other than maybe altering the language bit there to say "Changelog / Previous Versions". Maybe make that an actual button rather than just a subtle link? 🤷‍♂️

As I said, it's just an E_NOTICE while I'm IN_DEV but it did stop me from accessing that particular member (and only that member :shrug:) - it's just the += choking so I cleared it with: $rows[$row['time']] = $row['count'] + ($rows[$row['time']] ?? 0); Maybe worth same on your end, or not, ehh... EDIT: 4.6.1 but I looked and is same in 4.6.2

4.6 tools are not going to work with 4.5... not sure why you thought that. Go here: Click on the changelog: Choose the CORRECT version for what you have installed, then download those tools. NOTE: Pretty sure you'll be alright once you get the correct files into your install. DEV TOOLS are essentially the root javascript files, and then each app's DEV folder which just have again, more js, plus css, and templates, and such, but none of the core "code"

@OptimusBain In the forums section of KS, set number of attachments on or off, toggle it on, and then set the subsequent number of attachments field to a high number (whatever you like). Either I spaced that being zero = unlimited or something changed in 4.6 (I'd bet a lot more on the former than the latter - in fact I probably spaced setting it at zero as a default at all) Patched in the new version but that should (???) get you going again.

Of course. KS is probably swept through today.

Whew, almost one year later. Quality bump. V19 inbound once approved, but you can see the changes in the MP description if you like (I just went ahead and changed it) Had to adjust the hovercard hook for Invision Community 4.6 and then killed some time before going to bed (now...) by adding in a new formatting option: anywhere a template calls the template plugin {member='name'} you can format those universally with a new setting. All or nothing with those right now though I *might* let you filter out (or conversely allow specific) apps later on. EDIT: July 1st this was approved and is now available in the MP.

Version 11 is live in the MP. Enjoy.

And here we are with 4.6. Y'all read the change log at all? There is something of some interest in there that affects Sound Board. Namely, notification sounds (for the old ones Sound Board is for, the ones you get while you are on-site and they float up from the bottom of the page) are out. So... Yep. I shall miss them on my sites. Hearing the Gauntlet key pickup sound, or Galaga bonus stage start, let me know stuff was going on on sites of either my doing or frequenting. Alas... Now, could I lobotomize myself and re-insert it this sound making stuff? Probably. The JS library is still there in the IPS software. Are devs allowed to re-enabled/recreate features explicitly removed by IPS in our Marketplace items? No. Once they pull something (feature, code, - ftp file storage for example), we are not allowed to stick it back in. Even if it were allowed I'm not really feeling it. Why fight it? Now, with the new fancy browser notifications going on in 4.6, you're thinking - hey, why not those? And you would be right! In fact, those rich browser notifications are already spec'd out with audio classes, all ready to go. Have ANY of the browsers enabled support for that stuff? lol... So, *eventually* you'll get those notification sounds back. Maybe. One day... So this thing. For one, its fine with 4.6, upgrade your site with no worries. Your users will just have a little happy sound thing on their profile pages. On the plus side though, me no longer waiting for audio attachment players to show up natively means you got that with Sound Board, and going forward that will be the emphasis (until IPS does include it natively in which case that will be that, pour another one out, etc.). Maybe I turn this into the music player/downloader/album browser of my/your dreams? Wouldn't take that much..., aside from the API grind with the various services. Anyways, that's where this is at. Its fine as-is for upgrading. I'll get around to a "formal" 4.6 version later, but right now, the 4.6 upgrade backlog is rather long. @kmk on an entirely different note, I wrapped up a somewhat involved custom involving more or less your junk. Browser record audio, stored in Invision Community, and then voice-to-text extracted by various API cloud services, etc. So maybe? Though right now that code, albeit bulletproof, is a grim wasteland of suckitude I don't want to look at for while, though I will have to anyways to clean up (yes...), and add in new features. When I hit that again, I will remember your request - and probably shudder - but yes, take a look at what I can do. Still might be better as a separate thing though. EDIT: FYI I've been AWOL for a month or two now for reasons, I gotta backlog of comms, if you are in them it might still be a bit before I get back to you.

Been on a bit of break for awhile. Will take a bit to catch up on emails and pms and so on (note - this still might take a few days). Anyhoo, the first update of many of my apps and plugins for 4.6 (fyi just about everything is "fine" if you are upgrading - nothing has exploded on my end at least) This is in the approval hopper so you'll see it when you see it. Yes, you can still output profile fields of your choice. Naturally, as you can see, you might want to reconsider what you stick from the profile on here as it may just blow out the display. Probably best to just output small things instead of long things. Customize the badge count on the card, height of the cover photo, a few other things. I *will* be sticking in a dark-mode for these sometime... it's on the list. Beyond that, I had some thoughts while upgrading this and any steps forward feature-wise will probably push this over into a new app. Fairly warned be thee says I. Now to give the Sound Board people some news...
