Hi and thank you for a great plugin!

We have seemed to notice that when promoting a post into an article, it gives you the option to edit the article before posting, but in reality posts the article without the edits. So if I click promote to article and then edit the title of the article, it will still post with the original title.

This is based on not that much testing and when you are aware of it, you can of course edit and save the article before promoting to article. Nevertheless, if it's a bug, I figured it's good that you know. 🙂

Very cool idea - this seems like it could be very handy in an FAQ section. So if I understand correctly, it should theoretically work across applications and even 3rd party plugins that utilize the editor(?). 🙂

You mean they’re receiving the auto reply twice? A few users? All of them?

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. This information is based on feedback from one user, based on a few of these double-replies that he has received.

I haven't had the time to look into this further and it is not by any means a big issue, but I figured I'd share it with you. The same user does not get the double email when I reply to a PM myself.

Thank you for this great plugin - it's really helpful!

I've been told that the auto-reply is sending out double emails to the recipient of my auto-reply. Is there something I could have done wrong, or could you please see if there could be any reason on the code side? 🙂

Kind regards,

Ken

I got help from support and it resolved the issue! 🙂

I'm assuming this is available for anyone with the issue and an active license:

Please go to ACP -> System -> Support -> Something isn't working correctly -> Apply Patch.

Disclaimer: Never run any updates if you don't know what you're doing or what to do if something went wrong. 🙂

I get this sometimes when working in multiple tabs. I'm assuming it's just making you log in again to keep things safe. But that's just my best guess. 🙂

Thank you for your reply @LoPoSt. That's the first place that I looked, but I can't see anything that would prevent the user from making an image display as smaller? 🙂

Hi,

Recently this problem came up in my community where regular users and my writers are unable to change the size of the embedded images are displayed. Well, yes, they are able to change it, but when they submit the post, it reverts back to the original size.

I have tried this myself with my admin account and a regular account and can confirm this does not happen on the admin account. 

Here's an example of a post that was posted with the exact same image size settings, but the regular user image stayed as the big image.

My assumption is that there must be some new setting that I'm unaware of, but I've been unable to figure out what would control this setting.

Thanks for your time! 🙂 

Edit: I can confirm that I have this problem on the IPS forums here as well, so it must be a setting, right? 🤔

Also looking forward to an updated version - love the plugin. ❤️

Hey there,

Is it possible to have the following kind of setup:

• Public read access to Blog and member list and private access to topics.
  or
• Public access to post on topics, but only allow members/moderators of the club to post on blog.

The purpose of this is from a gaming clan perspective: The clan can announce their things in the blog, but are able to discuss their strategies and schedules in private. I'm actually quite surprised that this hasn't been taken into account and that you have to apply the same rules to everything.

On the other hand, maybe you want to have a club where there are specific members who are mentioned as a part of that club, but anyone can write into the topics section. You still wouldn't want anyone to be able to post blog posts on behalf of your club.

Either I'm confused or neither Club out of the box, nor this otherwise great plugin seem to allow what I'm describing.

Thank you in advance for your help! ?

Just to clarify, does this only work on the sidebar, and not in the horizontal sections? Do you have a solution for that? ?

Sure .

sorry we all mist this. I’m going to review this tonight and release a new version if this is really a valid bug 

Great, thanks, you have a new customer! ?

Hi, is this product still supported? I'm thinking of buying it.

Just asking, since there were no replies to the previous messages. ?

That’s the field output defined in the field settings of your custom image field. You can just turn it off for the listing mode. 

Thanks for your help - got it working!

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't been able to make it work despite some fiddling with it so far, but at least I am under the impression that I understand the logic a bit better.

What's confusing to me is that the link to the image is displayed with the default code. I tried adding a new image field to the new database that I created for testing SuperGrid and here's what happened, even when none of the articles have any images uploaded for the new image field:

All thumbnails get this 'Image:' box in the top right corner. The link to the article only works by clicking this little 'Image:' box after that and the link functionality is removed from the thumbnail itself. If I upload an image in the new image field, it puts that picture on top of the thumbnail (and still acts as the link).

I was wondering if you might be able to tell me whether this is something dictated by the SuperGrid code (telling it to look at all fields in the database), a bug, or some forum specific feature?

Otherwise, even if I make the correct image visible by editing the code, I'd imagine will still have that link from field_9 on top of the thumbnail (as in my previous post).

Appreciate your help - thank you!

Kind regards,

Kenneth

Hi there @opentype,

First of all, thank you for putting in the work to create this plugin - it looks great overall!

I just bought the plugin today and I'm having some issues with making it work with my current news content. The issue is that we use a custom field 'news_image' (Template key) as a thumbnail on our website www.nhlgamer.com. We don't use that specific image in the news article itself (besides a super small image in the beginning of the news article).

I have tried to edit the $record->_record_image_thumb part of your code below, but was unable to get it to work. Could you tell me if it's as simple as just getting the syntax correct there and possibly let me know the correct way to call for the image if that is the case?

<div class="ipsType_right SG_image_container_sidebar ipsAreaBackground_reset" style="padding-bottom: {{if settings.SuperGrid_aspect_ratio}}{setting='SuperGrid_aspect_ratio'}%{{else}}50%{{endif}};
{{if $record->record_image}}background-image:url('{{if settings.SuperGrid_image_use_thumbnail}}{file='$record->_record_image_thumb' extension='cms_Records'}{{else}}{file='$record->record_image' extension='cms_Records'}{{endif}}');{{elseif settings.SuperGrid_fallback_image}}background-image:url('{setting='SuperGrid_fallback_image_url'}');{{endif}}">

<div class="cCmsRecord_image">
					<img class="ipsImage" src="{$record->customFieldDisplayByKey('news_image', 'listing')|raw}" extension="cms_Records">
				</div>

Above you can see how it's called by default at the moment on our site.

Edit: Here you can see how it is currently looking:

On the right hand side I am testing with a new database and everything is working as intended. On the left (in the middle) I have linked to the original database, where the thumbnail image is instead now displayed as a text link for some reason (this is with your template code unedited, as above):

image.tiff

I can give you access to the page that I'm currently working on, but I figured the above is probably enough to form an understanding of the issue.

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,

Kenneth
