  1. It's me again, I've tried your latest update (1.0.8) :

    . The display per app works better but it is still not OK :

    • It is not displayed anymore while in the activity tab ;
    • The list of applications in the "feed from gallery" -> slider -> Where to show? still does not display the Commerce App neither any other Applications tabs installed other than :  "Forum", "Gallery", "Calendar" and "Pages". It seems not dynamic or don't working as it should... 😕 

    . I've a new bug report regarding translation strings : The Settings -> Effects & Colours -> Sliding Effect -> Sliding Effects list does not seam "translatable" : there are no strings to translate "Slide", "Fade", "Cube", ...

    Thankyou for your attention,

    Best regards,

    It should be in repeat mode. because textures are usually small and needs to be repeated to fill the whole area 

    If you don't want that, then you would need to upload a big texture the same size as the slider container so it fits. otherwise, how would you fit a small image in a big container without repeating it? 🙂   

    Yes, I understand your point of view. But mine is that I don't use it as a repeated texture to avoid copy but as a frame border definition.
    Here you can find a simple (and not finished) frame mask I've tried to use, maybe you'll understand better by taking a look. 😉 mask.thumb.png.a7c7c6cc70833c9dbb8f43472240cb5e.png

    Do you mean the whole content? if so then it can easily be done with css.

    ok, you're right, thankyou.

    The texture needs to be transparent, or make it transparent using any photo editing app like photoshop for example 

    It is already transparent. The problem is the texture is always put in "repeat" mode. I would appreciate if it had the possibility to be in "single" mode and "fit" in the whole area if you prefer... It is maybe a "hack" but it is the way I found it useful...

  4. Hi, 

    Thankyou for this app, it is exactly what I was looking in order to create a gallery the community can feed to directly have they pictures on the top of the forum ! 🙂

    But here is my bug report & feedback :

     

    Bug report :

    • It seems the "Feed from gallery" -> "Where to show" has no effect (and the commerce app is not shown in the list).

     

    Strange behaviour :

    • The texture overlay has no option to match the visible zone. To add some frame effects playing with transparency it could have been useful to make it match the swipper container zone.

     

    Function request :

    • I would have appreciated to have the choice of placing the content section & button in the top or bottom insteand of always in the center.

     

    Thankyou for your attention and best regards,

    Z

  5. After a few trials I've finally succeed on creating a sandbox copy of our comunity. It allows us to make some development, modules or functionalities tests before setting them into the production one.

    Our need was to create a copy into the same hosting space without polluting the production one. So here is how I made it :

    I - Copy

    Files

    First of all you need to create a copy of your community files, in our hosted space the files where located into the /www/ folder, so I simply ssh loged in and ran a :

    copy -aR ./www ./sandbox

    It is the fastest way to create a local copy, but you can also FTP-download your community files then FTP-upload them again into the new folder : Depending on the size of your community it can take very long to perform in that way.

    To ensure there is no damage done to the original community, we move it to a new folder during the time the sandbox is created (and set-up an apologize under maintenance page during this time), something like : mv ./www ./protect . So the sandbox will not be able to overwrite anything into the original files path considering it'll not be able to find them... ;) 

     

    DataBase

    You'll also need to create a copy of your community database :

    1) Create an empty new MySQL database ;

    2) I use MySQLDumper to create a database backup file from the production community database ;

    3) Then I set up MySQLDumper to connect into the new empty MySQL database and restore the database. If you've a big database like us, you may consider to ignore the forum_core_search_index table, some logs tables and private messages tables, depending on your needs.

     

    II - Setup

    For the moment you just have some kind of a "raw copy" of your community, but you can't use it  : dont even try, you may damage your original community if you do. So don't try to access your copy sandbox before step III-Final Adjustments here below.

     

    Access

    For our needs I've created a subdomain to access the sandbox content, something like sandbox.mycommunity.com, pointing to the new ./sandbox copy folder just created before. I suppose it may work in a subfolder of your main website too, but I considered it too risky before even try it.

     

    Files 

    As usually when moving a CMS to another place, the first file to set up is conf_global.php , you'll need to set-up your new database name, user and password. But don't forget to change the "board_url" field in order to set the access url to access your sandbox copy.

    You'll also need to modify the .htaccess file at the root folder of your community to set the right (sub)domain name or path into the rewrite rules.

     

    Database

    Now we're gettin' into the serious part of this. You'll need to modify "by hand" your new database : I use phpMyAdmin, kindly provided by our hosting company as a standard service. But you can install it by yourself or even use MySQLDumper just after the restoration to perform these modifications. So here are the list of the tables and fields you'll need to fix by setting your access url and most important of all : the absolute storage path of your sandbox copy. Through an ssh access just type pwd and you'll see where you are... (example : original /home/me/www -> sandbox /home/me/sandbox ) 

    . In table forum_core_sys_conf_settings, update the conf_value field, for the following conf_key values

    - sitemap_url

    - posts_add_nofollow_exclude

    - home_url

    - theme_disk_cache_path

    - board_name (optional)

    - home_name (optional)

    . In table forum_core_file_storage, for the field ID=1, update the configuration field value ;

     

    III - Final Adjustments

    Now you can access to your copy sandbox through your navigator : but try to connect directly to the APC in order to make the final adjustments.

    . First of all : if you're caching files, you may need to change the cahing files folder : you'll need to download then upload a configuration.php file in order to apply it.

    . Set a valid licence number : in the APC, go to the licence number menu item then set a valid key distinct from the original community one. We use the -TESTINSTALL key for that (your original key by adding -TESTINSTALL at the end).

    . Run a support diagnose to reset the theme cache and check everything is ok. If needed fix any encountered problem.

    . Depending on how you've copied your database, you may need to rebuild the index database by going to the "search" tab (in the APC) then "rebuild search index". If you have a big community, it could take several hours.

    . Don't forget to create a new cron task if you were scheduling in that way...

    . Finally, if you've moved your original comunity for a safer copy creation, now you can restore it back.

     

    It's done ! You've your full copy sandbox for whatever you may need it !

    Thankyou for reading !

    I ran the support tool to clear cache and it said there was a database error. This was it.. do I click run automatically? This shouldn't have occured though?

     

    I had the same after the update to 4.2.3.

  7. Hello again, 

    May I ask you which key shall I use to translate the "Member Map" tab string ?

    Thank you for the great job, it completely fulfills the goal of finding members of a club !

    Are you using @Adriano Faria's Club Enhancement? I think that may conflict with this.

    same problem here : when using "Club Enhancements", the member map tab does not appear. (If the plugin is disabled, the member map tab appears).

    You are bringing up the main problem with this yourself, what about those that are in several clubs. I can add a button to Clubs that'll take you to the map, but only show members of that club.

    After having asked that question to you, I've being hard thinking on that problem, there are some solutions, but I've not found a "perfect" one. So here are my thoughts, note that they're not necessary exclusive from each other :
    . Each member has the possibility to choose his "default club" displayed for the global map (could result on a terrible mess) ;
    . Administrators choose through the PCA how a member is displayed (force default club or define some kind of club priorities);
    . When displaying global map, you choose "all members" or "member of CCC club" (CCC being the specific club in question). Choosed through a combobox list or side-list ;
    . In all cases, it seems reasonable to allow the clubs (or administrators through the PCA) define a map look (color, icon, ...) for each club ;

    ...

  10. Hi,

    It may be difficult to manage for people registered into several clubs, but it could be useful to have the choice of representing club members with a distinct look (color, icon, ...), because "Identify club members location" may be a very useful function for club members (to know where their friends are really located)...

    Thank you for your attention.

  11. Hello again, is there a way to dissociate the club type rights to create some specific rights : for example something like anybody can see the club content but only members can post ?
    And same question about the Forums located in the club that through your plugin can currently only be hidden/disable.
    Thank you for your attention.

    Well, I see in another post that you have your theme/css changed: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/440324-answer-vote-button-gone/

    Anyway, any plugin is supported only in default theme. I can't support every theme out there; that's why there's a pattern to follow, otherwise I would have to release a version for each theme. Ask support to your designer. It uses the custom fields "hook point" to display the clubs.

    ok, I understand quite well you cannot support each customizet theme, but if it is some kind of general behaviour, I'm just trying to make make it happen in our theme... ;)
    Regarding my problem, in fact it was just a misalignment problem (already solved), not a "missing" problem...

  13. Hi, 

    I just bought it and it is really useful. Thankyou !

    I've just a question regarding the clubs list that should appear in the posts profile (ipsComment_author / cAuthorPane_info  css classes). 

    In the main/default theme they appear. But in our customized theme they did not. Did I miss something or has something to add into a template somewhere to make it visible in our theme ?

    Thank you in advance for your answer,

    Z
