I can certainly look into implementing this in the next feature release! Keep in mind that feature updates going forward are likely just going to be for IPS 4.5 however.

That’s fine as 4.5 is what I’m using. 

Would it be possible to add into the basic editor a spot where you can add the FA code to add FA icons to prefixes? I know I had suggested this earlier but not sure if you saw it or responded to it.

Update works great @batarjal . Just one thing, when you login to the admin console of the forum it opens the "core" settings of threadstarter. Not a big issue, but it should open the default admin dashboard

You know you can rearrange that right? This isn’t the only addon that puts itself at the top.

yeah if there's anything like it, though, I guarantee it costs and is expensive. I was going to make a fantasy sports app and I saw you have to pay very high costs per month to get an automatic feed of stats. I may make a fantasy app for myself, though, and just waste time manually updating stats each day… which would be a pain.

I originally thought about at least putting in some automatic teams in the database, like someone could get a pack that is all nfl teams, it adds them all for you, etc... but then I got to thinking who knows if someone can legally distribute even their names. I know me including logos would be disallowed.

Btw, for the ncaa tournament part I came up with some ways to speed up adding it, at least. In my 3.x apps it took an hour to add a year's ncaa tournament because of so many teams involved, but I bet my new way will take a lot less.

For ncaa football, it would be ncie if I could release something that automatically adds a lot of games, although I'm sure most sites don't pick EEVRY game of the season, though.

Yeah my site only deals with the Power 5 conferences so it would still be helpful

I'll consider it, but technically you can do it within the weeks of the normal pickem. Only thing with that way is of course the site has tow ait to know who is in the championship game before adding that game.

But now that you mention it, yes it would improve things to have the option to let them pick the championship from day 1 of the bowl games being added.

Also right now the only option is letting people pick up until every game kickoff time. the person who helped fund me making the app wanted it that way. But I could add in options to let sites cut off a week's picks by a deadline... so they'd have to pick all bowl games up front. That is already what I added as an option for ncaa tournament.

Sounds like good ideas to me. 

It would be awesome if there was some kind of API out there that would let you auto populate all games based on a certain criteria like certain conferences or teams and take care of adding the scores in at the end of the games. That could incorporate with this addon.

it sucks for me because I like march madness and the virus ruined that andddd the enw features are all related to that basically.

That sucks but you’ll have it for next year. How about adding features for the college football playoffs?

if someone comes along who wants this, pm me. I just temporarily have my license inactive because I am in the middle of finishing new features and it's the type of app where people are usually going to buy it during big sports events, which all keep getting ppd lately...

As long as it doesn’t affect college football season I’m ok. It’s the only sport I care about.

Hi @Makoto

Do you plan for a next update that i can edit next the tag color the font color too ?

I have many tags with a light color. 

And the font color is always white. So if i have a very lighty tag color i want to choose a dark font color.

He said it should be included in the next version that I believe he said would be out this week. It was supposed to have been in the most recent version but forgot to add it to his suggestion tracker or something like that. 

Just now, Makoto said:

Hey Ernest,

My apologies! It seems I forgot to actually add this to the issues tracker so it ended up slipping my mind. I've added it as a milestone for the next release now however, and it will definitely be included in 1.8.0 which I'll try and push out in the next week, along with a few other updates.

Sorry again and thank you for your patience!

No worries. We all get busy and things slip our minds. Thank you for adding my suggestions.

Also something else that just hit me is the ability to change the font color since some of the schools my site will cover have multiple colors so it would be nice to have the background as their primary color and the text to me their secondary color. Maybe even add FA icons in the basic editor.

@Makoto I thought you mentioned this feature would be included in 1.6.0 but it’s not in 1.7.0 just curious when this will be implemented? Not fussing or anything just curious is all.

Hi Makoto,

Thanks for the quick reply - what we're trying to do is to use tags on our news items in order to categorize them and display certain news items on certain sections and on the main news page.

For example:

We have a page with db(pages database) of news items:

NEWSITEM1 - Tagged with TAG1,TAG2

NEWSITEM2 - Tagged with TAG3,TAG5

NEWSITEM3 - Tagged with TAG7

We also other pages on the site that suppose to display news that were tagged with certain tags

For example

NEWSSECTIONABOUTUSA - This page needs to display all news items that were tagged with TAG7 or TAG3

NEWSSECTIONABOUTASIA - This page  needs to display all news items that were tagged with TAG1

hopes it explains what we're trying to achieve...

That's doable with your app?

That’s actually a really awesome idea so I +1 this idea and would like to see it implemented. Just curious when the next version that has enhancements to the basic editor will be available. No rush just wondering is all. You’ve made an awesome application @Makoto and look forward to see the full potential of it.

You seem to be a nice & fair guy:)
I've sent you a PM with the application. Feel free to install it and to test it on your own board. If you're not happy with it, just uninstall it, if you're happy with it, please purchase it from the marketplace:)

 

Wow that’s something you don’t see many developers doing. I commend you for this. Makes me want to buy more addons from you when I have the money and see one I really want.

Thanks, I can see it. But it just can see the prefixes used, that is can be done with ips core ability. Do you have a scene of use that show radical tags power and can't achieved with ips core ability? 

As I stated I’m just now getting the site up and going. So I’ve just now started adding content.

I would like to see if there websites already implemented Radical Tags.

Tags translable?

Just started working on my site but I’m using the addon and you can see it in use.

Hey Ernest!

Thanks for the feedback!

Adding support for multiple prefixes is unfortunately not available yet and will be a bit tricky to implement, but it's something I'll add as a feature suggestion and look into. Prefixes are a core IPS feature and IPS expects these to just be a single string, not multiple items, so re-engineering the platform to work with multiple prefixes will require some craftyness, but I'll look into ways to potentially make this work. This is something I can't promise a timeframe on unfortunately, however.

I like your suggestions regarding updates to the basic editor though! I'll add this to the feature list for 1.6.0 and you should see it in the next release.

Awesome thank you for looking into adding multiple prefixes and thank you for adding my other suggestions into the next release. 

@Makoto I saw someone asked about the ability to set multiple prefixes per thread. Is this possible yet? If not is it something you are considering adding? I’m building a sports related forum and it would be nice to have the ability to have multiple prefixes such as example Alabama and Recruiting.

In this example it is talking about a team (Alabama) and what it’s about (Recruiting) 

I would really love to see this added if it’s not already included. Thank you for your time and for such an amazing addon. 

Also something else that just hit me is the ability to change the font color since some of the schools my site will cover have multiple colors so it would be nice to have the background as their primary color and the text to me their secondary color. Maybe even add FA icons in the basic editor.

Awesome thank you so much. Will try it out this evening and let you know how it goes.

You can do it by CSS no doubt, however, I'm unsure how to switch it properly.

Until Michael replies, you can simply edit the template if you wish.

Core > Global > Plugins > Settings Link

Look for....

<i class='fa fa-futbol-o'></i>

Change to...

<i class="fas fa-football-ball"></i>

This might not work, as I'm not sure if there is a Font Awesome icon for 4.7 which IPS uses - but the icon is found in the latest set.

If not, at least you can still replace it for any of the ones featured here 

https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/

The theme I am using has FontAwesome 5 so those icons will work and it did so thank you for pointing me in the right direction. 

Just curious if there is a way to change the icon used in the picture used by this plugin to something else? FA 5 has an American Football icon I would rather use since my site is about American Football and not soccer

.

Awesome thank you so much.

Is there any way to use this addon and still use the grid forum listing format because when I enable this addon it won't show forums as a grid?

On the marketplace it's says: "This file is not currently available for purchase."

Yeah I just noticed that. Was gonna purchase in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully it’ll be back soon. @Makoto

Just now, aXen | 1s2k

The plugin needs updating, which only the plugin author can do.
Probably the plugin will be removed from supported plugins.

I had a feeling that’s what the case was. Thank you. Hopefully they will update it soon.

@aXen | 1s2k I can't seem to get this plugin to work or show up on this theme even thought it says in your description for the theme it's compatible. I've added the widget under the chatbox and have selected in the options chatbox+ which is the version I am using.

.cForumGrid .ipsPad .ipsList_inline li { width: 49%; margin-right: 0 !important; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; }

@aXen | 1s2k This didn't work to make the forums 2 columns. The update worked to fix the other issue. Thank you for that.
 

Tagged you in case you didn’t see this earlier.
