  1. Oh wow, thank you so much, that is so helpful lol ohh I wish I'd known this was a thing so long ago! Thank you!
  2. Is there a switch in the admin cp somewhere that I can't find, or some other way for you to set the timeline as the default landing page?
  3. Simple idea: Wherever it says "Badges" (ie on the member profile it says Recent Badges) change "Badges" to "Awards", and then allow categories of Awards to be created by the admin. Example categories could be things like badges, trophies, medals, etc, or things like X related Awards, Y related Awards etc. (To push it just a little to far, it would also be nice if awards had hovercards, or something comparable like a page.) Thoughts about the details: On the admin cp, visually those would probably look like collapsable sections with titles (similar to the forum tree) each containing their respective awards in a vertical column just like they are now. That and the addition of a "create new award category" button would do it. Ok and maybe adding in section header category titles in the member profile's award(badge) display page. The way it is now, all awards are essentially lumped into a single category called "badges", and when you're on a members profile looking at their badges page it doesn't take the addition of too many badges before it's sort of a confusing mess to look at. It feels to me like allowing admins the ability to categorize them, and thereby vary them beyond "badges", it would not only look better but thematically it would open more doors for user individuation.
  4. I'm having an issue where many of the buttons for my CKEditor have names that don't correspond to their icons which also don't correspond to their functions... would someone mind taking a look? Also, there's a very small possibility this was done maliciously, and I'd like to rule that out if possible.
  5. The CKEditor uses a single image file for many of its button icons: icons_hidpi.png What I've done is to edit that file, so the button icons are colored. The problem is, when I re-upload the edited png and replace the old png file, it does not update visually on the site. If you use the browser's inspector to look at the CKEditor in action, you can see it's using the correct file in the correct folder path. Yet the image being displayed is the old version of the png, from before you uploaded and replaced it with the colored version. It usually stays this way for a couple days before suddenly it just starts using the new colored version of the file. Therefor it seems to me like the system is somehow caching this particular file for upwards of a week before reloading it from the server. Which, finally, brings me around to me actual question: How do you bypass this wait period? Is there a way to trigger the forum software to reload the file from the server? _____/ THE FILE'S LOCATION AND CONTENTS: applications/core/interface/ckeditor/ckeditor/plugins/icons_hidpi.png
  6. I feel compelled to reiterate that adding this functionality would not detract from or even change the existing functionality at all, in any way.
  7. About a year ago I set up SSL on my site through LetsEncrypt. Since then there have been occasional problems with people getting verification emails. Usually it works fine, but it's become a semi-regular issue at this point. In the admin cp > Email settings, under Advanced Settings there are the following options. I just want to double check before I change these to make sure this isn't going to cause problems. Here's where they're at now (attached image). I believe I should set SMTP Host to "ssl://localhost" and SMTP Protocol to "SSL". The options for SMTP Protocol are Standard / Plaintext, SSL and TLS. Are these the correct choices?
  8. Consider Discord or Mewe for examples where many many more emojis are used successfully (and all with consistent usage) than what I'm implementing. They both essentially allow the entire available catalog of emojis on the platform to be used as reactions. Hundreds, not dozens. And it works very well. Imo better than what IPS is currently doing, although IPS ability to decide which reactions effect reputation and how would put IPS a step ahead. A further possibility might even be allowing toggles for individual "groups" of custom / uploaded emojis that appear in the CKEditor to be accessible as reactions.
  9. Ok, for my dev build I emptied the entire database, and rebuilt it by copying the tables from the main site. I then moved all the files out of a subfolder in the main sites root folder, and into its own folder in my hosted root directory. I then redownloaded and uploaded a fresh copy of the entire uploads folder through ftp. I downloaded the latest version IPS and uploaded that into the new dev root directory, overwriting all files it required. This gave me an almost 100% fresh install of my dev site, and it works just fine, except that the same problems mentioned in the op are still persisting: 1 - Editing a theme's html and css will show none of the template or css files in the left panel.* The only files accessible there are the global html template, and custom.css neither of which can be saved after editing. Trying to save either throws the ambiguous error "This file can not be saved!" 2 - Adding buttons to the toolbar does not work. You can drag the button to the toolbar and drop it and it will stay in place until you refresh the page, then it will be removed from the toolbar and returned to the unused tray. I haven't tried uploading plugins yet to see if that works. ---------- These problems intuitively seem to be stemming from the fact that this dev build is on a subdomain. Essentially: devbuild.mainsite.com "Failed attempts to save" seems to be the consistent issue here. The designated save locations in "AdminCP > Files > Storage Settings" are all correct. I do have Cloudflare as a CDN, and its DNS rules are not identical for the main site and the dev build. However creating a custom rule on Cloudflare that essentially disables everything for requests related to the dev-boards subdomain does not solve the problem. Turning Cloudflare off does not solve the problem. Turning the browsers security features and my vpn off does not solve the problem. This has been persisting for quite a long time now, which is making development a headache. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here???
  10. Here's the thing, sometimes custom css is paired with custom buttons, and when that's the case those custom buttons no longer work when you're editing page tops and forum rules etc in the admin cp. To remedy this, adding a 4th option to Admin CP theme Auto, Light, Dark and Custom would be nice. That way you can use your custom css in the rules / page tops.
  11. Cool, glad you like! Yea we're trying move away from using reactions to allow people to guide each other, and more just to react in a general sense, just to make it more expressive and interesting, rather than "good / bad". Part of this was removing negative impact on rep, and just having either positive or neutral. I can see where people are coming from who do want to use it as a guide method, but I think adding a little css to allow for this way too could accommodate both approaches, without shorting anyone. And in my experience it was a pretty easy addition to make. UNNECESSARY EXTRA CONSIDERATION: For people who are using it as a good/bad guide, and for people who are using it the way I'm describing, also adding the ability for certain reactions to increase or decrease rep by more than one (an optional number, or number between 1-3) would be pretty sweet too. I know in my case there are a few reactions I wouldn't mind allowing 3 rep for earning.
  12. As it stands now, when you go to react to a post, and you hover over the heart in the lower right to get all the reactions to pop out, they all pop out in a straight line, regardless of how many of them there are. Which sucks. It means if you want to upload a full emoji set for reactions you're limited in the number you can upload by the fact that the reaction select panel doesn't wrap. So really, at most you can get like 10 before it starts looking awful. With some custom css I was able to get the behavior I wanted (still trying to get it to work on mobile view) but this type of wrapping really should be the default.
  13. I use zFast for hosting, I don't host it myself. I do use SSL through Lets Encrypt, and Cloudflare as a CDN, which also includes its own end to end encryption, so that could also be a factor.
  14. You guys should update your favicon by increasing the resolution and using a png to take advantage of transparency, because the antialiasing that's going on now looks like it's designed only for browsers with no dark mode, aside from being low res. Just a thought to help you present yourselves a little better.
  15. Never mind, I deleted the folder the plugin created manually through ftp, and now it's at least let me log into the admin cp.
  16. Chatbox is being served from my site, google is being served from google. What do you mean by allow it? Like this? admin cp -> advanced configuration -> Allow community to be embedded in an iframe -> content security policy: default-src *; frame-ancestors 'self' *.google.com That's one setting I tried. For the content security policy I also tried default-src *; frame-ancestors 'self' *.script.google.com
  17. I'm pretty sure I ran the system check multiple times but it was a little while ago. At this point, however, I tried installing the "toggle Developer Mode from admin cp drop down" plugin, and it totally corrupted my admin cp. Now, every tab I open from the left panel presents the error that hextorgb plugin is missing. Nothing was possible in the admin cp, so I emptied the database, and rebuilt it as a duplicate of the sites current database. Trying to log into the admin cp now, shows this error:
  18. Is there anyone else who has their live development build on a sub-domain of their original site, and also their file structure in a folder in their sites root (not their server root.) My dev build constantly experiences problems, and I'm wondering if it's this particular folder / sub-domain structure that's causing it...? Like is the software getting confused because some series of backslashes is finding the folders it's looking for at too high a level in the folder tree or something? Should I move it outside of the sites root to the servers root so it's parallel to the main sites folder structure and not inside it? Here are just some of the issues: • Theme files can not be saved. Trying to edit a theme's html / css results in "File can not be saved!" error. • Opening up a theme's html and css for editing reveals ONLY the global template. The rest of the templates that are supposed to be listed in the left hand template selection list are just gone. • Uploading some plugins fails. Simple plugins like "toggle developer mode in admin cp menu" • Adding buttons to the toolbar fails. • I know there are more I can't remember. (Apologies I think I've posted this in the wrong forum)
  19. I'd like to embed a page from the website (namely chatbox) into a google apps script, and then embed the google script onto my site. There are a couple problems I'm running into. 1st in the sites admin cp, when I allow embedding on a specific offsite domain (*.script.google.com) it won't allow me to embed chatbox. However if I select the 3rd radio option "allow embedding in all offsite domains", which is not recommended, it allows it. So that's problem 1. 2nd I'm having trouble getting my site to allow the google script to be embedded on it anywhere at all. I was hoping that embedding the google script in an iframe (the script itself having my site in an iframe within it) would allow that chatbox iframe in the google script to recognize the top hosting domain as my site, and thereby allow it to embed in the google script. But I can't even get the google script to embed to see if that would work, though somehow I doubt it will. Any direction on this would be greatly appreciated :) Desired iframe layout of end product: _____________________________ | MY SITE | | _______________________ | | | GOOGLE SCRIPT | | | | ________________ | | | | | CHATBOX | | | | | | | | | | | |________________| | | | |______________________| | |____________________________|
  20. The Automatic Moderation menu in the Admin CP currently only allows you to hide reported content. It would be nice if this section had other options like this: If you could imagine "Hide Content" was one tab, and there where other tabs you could select like "Move Content" or "Merge Content" or "Saved Action". The Move Content tab would have options like: Move topics to X sub-forum if they meet the following criteria: They're posted in Y sub-forum They have not gotten a reply in Z amount of time They have B tag(s) The title contains "example text" They're older than C weeks / months / years The Merge Content tab would have options like: Merge topics into X topic it they meet the following criteria: They're posted in Y sub-forum They have not gotten a reply in Z amount of time They have B tag(s) The title contains "example text" They're older than C weeks / months / years The Saved Action tab would have options like: Perform Saved Action X if post meets example criteria (above).
  21. Exactly :) So for example, if you created a scheduled batch release on every Saturday at noon, or the first of every month, or whatever it is, then when someone goes to promote some content and they're on that screen that comes up when you click promote, there's the button that says "Schedule: Next Batch". When they click that it currently only has 2 options. Schedule Now and Custom Schedule. It could include another option with a dropdown that lets them choose from all the special scheduled batches you've created. So imagine a hypothetical dropdown menu with a radio selector next to it above Schedule Now and Custom schedule (which each have their own radio selector), and if you click the drop down you see things like "Next Saturday at noon" and "The first of the month" which they could pick. Allowing the person to name the scheduled batches would be a handy way for them to easily communicate to the people doing the promoting what the purpose of that particular batches timing is. Like they could name it "Sunday morning funny stuff" or whatever, and set it to batch promote every Sunday at 8am.
  22. The ability to have more than 1 input option when creating a custom button would be very helpful. Either a "+add new option" thing where you can create as many as you need, or at least 3.
