Hi guys,

Thanks for the reply. This has now been resolved. The error occurred due to a member having a negative post value.

When performing the upgrade I chose NOT to install the new points system.

I have changed my mind and would now like to have this new system installed, is there a way that I can now apply it?

Looking for technical support - site broken.  Can a staff member please contact me privately.

When I try to get technical support through Admin dashboard getting this error:

UnderflowException: lang_not_exists__health_system_log_title (0)
#0 /home/honeycomb/public_html/applications/core/modules/admin/support/support.php(1340): IPS\_Lang->get('health_system_l...')

Did recent upgrade and getting this error 1264:

You can display ads to logged in members, however if Adsense requires that a page be guest-viewable in order for ads to display there, then any pages which guests are unable to view would not be able to display ads.

Some sites lock everything down and only logged in users can access basically anything. Some sites are pretty much wide open, guests just can't post. There's a lot of variation in how a site can be configured, so it's hard to give a one size fits all answer.

In order to display ads to logged in members the Adsense Crawler needs authentication (the crawler needs access via a login as explained in Adsense tutorials).

To clarify, is IPS Forums setup to allow Google Adsense Crawler, thus does it have the ability to allow adsense to show to logged in members?  

Having the ability to show Adsense ads to our members should be out of the box, wouldn't everyone agree?

@bfarber, it is not about how forums are set and visible to guests. There is a feature in Adsense, where you can provide access credentials, so that adsense crawler can login and see the content in the login-protected area. But this does not work in IPS. Even providing right credentials, login attempts of adsense crawler fail in IPS.

@Sonya* explains this further.

So just to confirm, as of today there is not a simple or effective way to enable Adsense ads to display to logged in members?

Is this correct IPS staff?

Does anyone have adsense working successfully on logged in pages?

A basic format that I've used for years is

If member has 0 content > delete account

If member has content > remove email > change password > move to a "closed account" usergroup

Send notification email once process is complete.

Thanks Adriano.

Have installed and it's almostttt perfect lol ((sorry))

Even if I don't allow a usergroup to edit their country or see any flags they can still see this in their profile:

Ideally they should only have the ability not to see them if they have permission to see them in the first place.

Know what I mean?

Hi there,

Are the above errors fixed?

I encountered a red error on install.

I entered the icon field as eye-slash.

I can't see anything.  No option to go invisible, etc.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

lol maybe I just thought it was working. 

Thanks for adding it in the next version Adriano, I appreciate it.

OK, so this setting doesn't apply to the profile page?

I had it working successfully for a long time and then it changed.  Perhaps this is what you are referring to.

For our community I use this as a tool for our staff to detect trolls and spammers.

We are also diligent about privacy and so it's not very user-friendly for members to have their country revealed to others on their profile.

I'd love for the plugin to be able to respect the permissions settings on the profile page also.

Thanks for considering.

Thanks so much for the video, it was very helpful.

I have installed latest version, disabled all plugins and add-on apps, plus tried the settings you have outlined above and other combinations (including no view permissions at all for anyone) and it still shows the flag to all usergroups.

 I've had to disable for now until I figure out why its not working. 

Thanks again for trying.

 

Hi Adriano,

This is still happening for me.  The permissions are not working.

Has no-one else reported anything similar?

I'd greatly appreciate help in fixing it.  I can see that it works for you in your demo but this is not how it works for mine.  I tried replicating the same settings and any other combinations I can think of but no matter what all members can see the flags.

I have tried disabling all plugins.

This didn't happen in the version prior to December last year.

Automatic account deactivation should be an option for our communities.

I noticed this topic was started and then closed because Admin was reluctant to see the value of this feature.

Could you imagine Facebook or Instagram not having an option to disable your profile? Or better yet, you need to write to the staff to manually get it done?

It's ridiculous that we have to do it manually.  People care about their privacy - whether you think it is a big deal or not that they close their account, it is important to them and it is an expected right with social media sites these days.

This plugin is great but it's nearly $100 for what should be a basic social media site function.

I also already forked out USD$35 for the same plugin which was then discontinued and rebuilt. 

I am still going to purchase the above again because this is something I desperately need.

Does anyone else find themselves wasting time on manual account removal requests and feel this should be part of the core?

I had to remove my adsense.  We were getting impressive traffic stats but virtually no clicks.  I couldn't figure it out what wasn't working.

Would love to know if you get it working well with your forums.

Would love a colour option that is White Background and dark gray/black text.

Just on the chat issue...

The main problem our members are having is that the Online Users is constantly showing a number of people who are not really in the chat room

I have embedded the chat at the bottom of every page, and it seemed to start after this.

It's as if any member browsing the page is automatically logged into the chat room - so what we end up with is most of the people appearing to be in the room are not really.

It would be great if I could find a solution to this.  It's making the chat not really attractive for our members, since they never know if anyone is really there.

Thanks heaps for sharing @liquidfractal, I've added this today. Very easy.

I also want to advocate for a "To Top Button" (again). I know about the possibility to use plugins, but in my opinion this should be part of the core software.

Absolutely.

Could this be added to make IPS more user friendly on phones?

The scrolling that needs to be done on phone devices is mammoth and there's no easy way up to get back to the top.

Anyone else struggle with this?

The only addon in Marketplace I could find is from 2015 and no longer compatible.

He is normally very active on his own site which he offers support from.  I've had really good success with the Babble chat app and his support on his site for it has been very quick and effective.

Hi,

I am struggling to get the Adsense crawler to login successfully to my IPS forum so that I can display ads on member only areas.

These are my settings:

I am using POST

auth = username of my bot account

password = pass of my bot account

Can anyone who is successfully using Adsense on their site confirm the correct settings?

Thanks for your help.

Thank you  

Thanks Adriano,

Have you tested it as working for you?

Hi,

Several members have requested the ability to view more than 4 lines.

Is this possible?

Thanks
