    Use at your own risk
    The following will place the member's achievement points total below their group title
    Edit forums > front -> topics -> postContainer
    After:
    {{if $comment->author()->member_id}} <li data-role='stats' class='ipsMargin_top'> <ul class="ipsList_reset ipsType_light ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center ipsFlex-jc:center ipsGap_row:2 cAuthorPane_stats">                    
    Add:
    {{if isset( $comment->author()->achievements_points )}} <li> <a href="{url="app=core&module=members&controller=profile&id={$comment->author()->member_id}&do=badges" seoTemplate="profile_badges" seoTitle="$comment->author()->members_seo_name"}" title="{lang="achievements_awards_points" pluralize="$comment->author()->achievements_points"}" data-ipsTooltip class="ipsType_blendLinks"> <i class="fa fa-bathtub"></i> {number="$comment->author()->achievements_points" format="short"} </a> </li> {{endif}} Result:

    Very broad range you've given me there.
    It will be ready when it is ready, and no sooner - I am not giving any ETA, and I will be in touch with some testers soon to try it out.

    @Nathan Explosion Any rough idea on when the new version should be out? Do you think it's likely in the next few weeks or less likely until 2022?

    watchhead got a reaction from Hexsplosions in Achievements - When is a rebuild necessary?   
    It would be automatically rewarded to any member that meets the criteria no need for a re-build.
    A re-build would only be necessary if you are changing the amount of points awarded for existing achievements.  
  6. Agree

    So far so good!
    One comment I'm getting frequently, that I believe others have mentioned, is the ability to show what Offers have been submitted, so other members can outbid one another versus blindly submitting an offer. Thoughts on that?
    Appreciate the hard work on this one overall! Super powerful. I'm in love. I'll circle back in the coming days as I learn more if that's alright 🙏 💜

    Does this work with 4.6 beta or do we need to wait for an update?

    watchhead reacted to Matt in Option to delete own account   
    We have considered this and we would only make it so the member could request it, but not actually do it. There'd need to be a cooling off period, etc. Easy in the heat of the moment to delete everything and then ask for backups the next day.

    It is, I promise - my main pain point with it what to do with old rolls that exist...to 'upgrade' them or not.
    Here's a few screenshots of the new version so you guys can see the improvements that are coming...

    SVG dice - not using fontawesome to display a pseudo-dice...and now the RPG players have their own dice too.

    IPS may be doing some testing and review of the code individuals submit on the marketplace. IPS also undoubtedly does review of their own code. Yet, as we are all imperfect humans, and as we run these applications in a multitude of environments and in an multitude of configurations, best practices say that we should be testing and performing user acceptance in controlled circumstances that mirror our production communities.
    Just as IPS tested 4.5 prior to releasing it to us for beta testing, and just as talented developers do due diligence prior to release offerings on the marketplace, we too will continue to find unforeseen issues in spite of their best of intentions. A healthy development and integration ecosystem is dependent on the ability for thorough review of any modifications we make to our communities prior to our deployment on production environments. Having the ability to run local analysis and testing within a localhost environment furthers our ability to mitigate against unforeseen consequences for the individuals that have come to rely on our communities to simply just work, and to work well. No software company, given a near infinite resources (think Microsoft, Google, Apple) is successful at anticipating and eliminating critical bugs prior to shipping code. Any software company that thinks they can get this right in advance and offers that as a reassurance that things will just always work isn't taking the best perspective on the matter.
    Limiting the mechanism to install and test things in a local development environment, as well meaning as it may have been, and for all the positives that may have been considered surrounding licensing, piracy and ease of use, ultimately hinders self-hosted communities from following these best practices and puts them at a disadvantage. It discourages the best practices of a thorough testing plan that, in my opinion, should be strongly encouraged by the vendor. A good portion of IPS customers use their cloud offerings and likely never touch code. They don't want to, and this works for them.
    However, the ability, even if in some sort of controlled opt-in mechanism (i.e. the distribution of the IPS dev package), to download resources directly from the marketplace is a need for self-hosting communities that follow best practices. The vendor's willingness to enable and encouragement of development best practices, by extension, furthers their brand and reach as the stability of the platform on the various sites that run their solution is noted by others who ultimately end up becoming new customers.
    I don't think IPS is trying to do anything other than to minimize the support overhead for existing customers. I'm sure, in their best of efforts to simplify things, they missed the use case for those of us who use a similar methodology to their own, and I'm hopeful they'll acknowledge this oversight and course correct quickly. We are, after all, imperfect humans, and this is just the sort of thing beta testing should highlight.

    This is correct, but now having been told that I cannot login via a localhost (obviously, my mistake), I went to download or EVEN redownload some apps to test, but I cannot... I don't want another live test install on my server. I now prefer to do it in a localhost.

    I do not have a live test of 4.5, so how am I meant to install files now that I cannot access them... I really don't think it's such a big ask to allow us to download files directly in the marketplace.
    So now you have two issues, 1 people can't inspect files, and 2 you cannot download locally.
