Sorry for the time it has taken to get this done. I had lots of issues with my test install and required help from support.

Finally got the new version upload and waiting approval from the moderators.

This new version has a ton of new features, changes and many bug fixes from the previous version.

Sorry guys, It got kicked back to me for a couple of issues, these have been sorted and I am waiting on it being approved 🙂

Invision Super Groups v5.3 is the version we have this penciled in for.

I was hoping for at least Invision SuperPages 5.1 too.

An improvement like that will not be introduced in a point release. It will be something for a major version, just to be clear.

Hopefully not IPB (Or whatever you are calling your software now) v6.50 then 😛

I'm currently in the process of updating all my applications and plugins, hopefully should be up by the end of the weekend.

Thanks! It would be nice if this didn't have its own top level icon in the ACP. Probably fits better under the Community area. Very much a set and forget type thing, if we're making wishlists 🙂

I will have a look at finding out how to do that 🙂

This means they are on an OG iPad, ipad2, iPad 3rd gen, or iPad mini 1. Basically, hardware released at latest in 2012 (and possibly earlier) where Apple only supports up to iOS 9. iOS 9 has been out of security support for a few years now  

This also means the hardware is at least 8 years old. That’s a long time for mobile/tablet device compatibility, especially given how much changed over the last decade.

Can’t support everything forever. For the software to improve, it’s gotta look ahead. I’m sympathetic given how expensive it is to update what otherwise “works”, but also selfishly glad they are not burdening this software with legacies from the past. 

And as @Charles alluded to, someone on iOS 9 is gonna find 90% of the web unusable, not just IPS. 

I already new this, and was just looking for confirmation in case this might have not been the case.

Some members are not too happy as they only vist the site using their outdated IPad's and trying to explain to them why the forum worked one day and not the next, does gets old after a while..... But what you expect with football fans 😂

@TDBF - are you planning on a 4.5 compatible release?

Already done, just have some other plugins to update and I will release them all at the same time.

Yes, of course. That's where I read about it. But whatever appears in the ACP for the folks who don't follow along here doesn't seem to be doing enough of a job of saying "HOL UP! Go learn about this and consider carefully before deciding to press that upgrade button."

It's a pretty upgrade button that looks the same as all the other upgrade buttons and I think some folks are getting click happy, thinking it's a minor change when it's anything but.

Sorry Paul, but it has been well hammered on in this forum that 4.5 was a massive update, and it would break a lot of applications, plugins, themes and forums.

My forum is heavily modified with custom Themes, Pages, Applications and Plugins, and I knew full well what I would be getting myself into before I started. I even told my forum members a couple of months back, that when we started the updates there would be some disruption to the forum.

I update, because I have seen first hand what happens to a site and software when they are not updated. My brother co-hosted a pretty large Unix site which was built on v-Bulletin. The software wasn't updated past version 3. They had a ton loads of custom code written over a period of 10 years, and when they finally decided to update, they either had to start again or upgrade all their code to work on the newer version. I offered to give them a hand, but once I saw the state of the code, I decided against it.

Just to note, we did list this change in the deprecation section for 4.5. We always recommend reviewing the release notes, especially for major releases.

I have had a few people who use IPads IOS 9.3.5 or < who have told me that they cannot view the forum now because it is broken and unworkable. Hard to tell them that they need to upgrade their hardware as they cannot update to newer apps.

That's a bad analogy right there...
 

There's a difference here though, one is a collectors item and the other is a penis extension.

I am talking about a car for every day usage here. 😛

You’re correct, I do use it for browsing privately. I like it personally, I never really understood what all the fuss was about.

The simple fact is that I feel it resonates with me in a way that I just don’t with other browsers, I just don’t like them, particularly Chrome which I think is awful.

I don’t mind Safari on my iPhone, I do kind of like that, but not on a desktop computer.

How old is your car, phone, computer or TV? I bet for a fact that they're are all newer than the browser you are using.

So would you use your phone from 2010 to do what you are doing on your phone now?

Very often, these folks are at the mercy of their IT infrastructure requirements. Large (and small) enterprises have dependencies on IE for mission critical applications and IT departments will lock them into using dated browsers because the things they need to work were coded to work in IE.

If you have a large number of members in certain industries browsing from their workplace, you'll find that many have no choice in the matter and your community not working may mean they go elsewhere.

Sorry, but this has been known for a long time, and it is up to those companies to stay up to date with more secure and stable software which follow the industry standards.

I did a lot of development in the last decade and during the whole IE v6 fiasco, and that browser alone held back web development for many years, all because Microsoft refused to updated it. They had the numbers back then, and lost out to Firefox and the Google in the end and rightly so.

I got to a point were I said enough was enough and point blank refused to develop for that browser, even after a lot of complaints from users of my software.

As far as I am concerned, the quicker IE dies out, the better it will be for the web industry and if people still use it, then they only have themselves to blame. Update or die.

When editing plug-in hook templates via tfrom the ACP, I always feel that I am editing through a letter box. The editor height is just too small and uncomfortable to work with for long period s of time.

At the moment it is currently set to 300px, would it be possible that this could be doubled or the text-area made resizeable.

Also, would it be possible to show line numbers by default as well or at least toggle able like the theme editor area?

If this is not possible, can you show me were I can edit the Code Mirror config so I can do this myself?

Also, while I am thinking about it, can you place the Text editor area above the 'Action' options. This way I do not have to keep scrolling down past the action options to edit code all the time. To me the Text Editor is more important and used more than the Action settings.

I cannot believe in 2040 that there is still not a proper solution for this! 😉😂

Anyway...back to my lasagne.

Enjoy 😉

I asked this same question a couple of years ago, and was told that it would be looked at.

The issue is that the the placement of the ipsItemControls is 'messy' and not static depending on the post text. This makes the GUI unpredictable and quite frankly an mess.

Would it be possible that the "ipsItemControls" could be place in an absolute position at the bottom for all posts instead of floating around in no man's land?

Renew your license then 😄  - the person the comment was aimed at will see it, so all good.

I get those error messages as well, even with a full license.

Well, I wont be using this any more.

I am not going to pay for a product which I already bought, and then start paying an extra $6 every 6 months.

Screw that!

As recommended, I'm creating this topic to reinstate the option to download files manually from the Marketplace.

It's bad enough you don't allow the download of apps we purchased when our licence has expired. But, to completely change the way file downloads are handle is a little much.

Please don't get me wrong, I love the idea that we can now do it all with ACP, but you shouldn't disable/change the way that a lot of us download files for localhost setups to test our sites before going live.

Please, please, please allow the option to download files manually like we've done for so many years!

 

(Edit: Happy 600 posts to me, woo!)

This!!!!!! 👍

Any reason you couldn't incorporate the site name into the logo? I get what you're asking, but that's an easy workaround.

To save me from having to continually customise my theme just to display a logo and title everytime I create a new theme.

Is there any chance you could change the behaviour to allow the Logo and Site Title to be dispalyed together, rather than one or the other as the way it is now.

how can i keep this  in the end of the page  ?

I would need to see your forum to know what is going on?

Can we have an option to hide Donation Goals from the public, and/or a date range to close said donations please?

We have seasonal donations which we like to have open for a couple of months, and the only way we can remove this from the public is to delete the donation goal. Would be good is we had a closure date to prevent people donating to that goal, or hide it from public when the goal has ended.

Having to delete a goal removes all the information, donations and those who donated, and we like to keep that information.

Hello,

In your screenshots the links in blocks appear to have a dotted separator below each link.

How do you do it? Is it a css class that I need to use or what? I'm using WYSIWYG as block type.

Thank you

Chris

Sorry for the late replay.

Add class="wf_quicklinks" to the ul like:

<ul class="wf_quicklinks">
<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/">Forums</a></li>
</ul>

Go to the ACP, Site Features and Plugins. Click on the Website Footeredit icon and select the Block Settings Tab. You will find the block settings from there.
