ahc

You misinterpreted. These are definitely not legitimate marketplaces and just rip all of the content here and offer it for free.

This argument makes no sense to me, because in my short time on IPB, I've been burned and scammed by purchasing numerous plugins and apps from devs that have disappeared or would submit something to get as many sales with the promise of future updates and support, only to remove their item once people start requesting the services promised. Literally spent nearly $100 for a single app for it to be removed less than a week later and denied a refund by the dev. So, basically nothing is changing except that I can choose to pay a now extra $190 each year to deal with this and keep my 3rd party apps updated, or I can just.. not. You can pretend that they're making the marketplace better for everyone, but in the end they're just punishing the ones who weren't doing anything wrong in the first place. They think they can somehow keep people from finding ways to get the content on this site without having a license when they can't. There are currently 3 websites at the top of google that always have the latest marketplace items and update their content almost as quickly as it gets uploaded here.

It's okay. I've already noticed developers are spending more effort on their own development websites where the files can be obtained without the restrictions. Some are happy to transfer your purchase so you only have to pay for renewals on their site. Just need to ask nicely. In the end, I'm not going to be the one hurting and those developers won't be losing 10% profit.

I had an inactive license for over a year because there was nothing significant enough to warrant the extra $190 we would have spent. I was able to purchase and download files from the marketplace the entire time right up until 4.5 Beta 1 came out. All of a sudden I was locked out of things I had just paid for or renewed. I sent in a ticket and was told that this was always the intended behavior and that if I had access to purchase, renew, and download files before with an inactive license, it was in error. So.. which one is the truth?

I was finally able to download the communities app after several attempts and I'm not at all happy with it really, so far. I know it's new and more functionality/features will be added, but 95% of our website cannot be accessed via the app. This feedback was unexpectedly cut short. While testing and taking notes, I went to the ACP to add a new link into the app navigation. Now I am no longer able to access my community even though it's not under review. Clicking on it from the "My Communities" tab via the app just loads up a blank white space and nothing can be done unless I force exit the app. Gallery: We're art based, so we use the gallery app heavily and most of our content displays these images in some capacity among various pages via widgets and blocks. Our images don't display anywhere, not even the new images grid that displays by default on the gallery view page. When you click to view categories, you can see the category thumbnails fine, but as soon as you click a category to view its images, nothing shows up. It's just a lot of empty space or stacks of empty sections where images are supposed to be. Screenshot Gallery Part 2: Everything is squished together and it seems the app picks and chooses which html/css it wants to render. The custom html/css we have installed for category links is displaying, but the html/css we have implemented that makes sure images are displayed to the correct usergroups respectively doesn't seem to be triggering at all and it displays everything to anyone regardless of their group. Screenshot of info being squished together. Links: No links are clickable unless they're within a topic/post in the forums or one of the main links at the top of the app. Any pages that have custom links added, clicking on them does nothing as if it were a dead link. This makes navigating a lot of our website difficult/non-existent as we use the main navigation to get people to the correct area, and rely on custom sidebar navigations to let them choose where they want to go within the area that they've chosen. None of these links work to bring them to the appropriate gallery categories. Screenshot Notification Errors: To test the push notifications, I had someone tag me to see how notifications would show up. After a few tries, I never received the notifications via mobile, but I did receive them on the website. Going to system logs, I noticed an error popped up relating to mobile notifications citing "Invalid Credentials". (I'm sending this in via ticket.) I've barely scratched the surface and I'm sure there's a lot more for me to add, but I can't proceed until I regain access to the community again. The app is really only going to work right now for people who mostly just use IPB's default forum system and a few pages with little customization that require little to no interaction.

Currently we can “block” links (display as plain text) or have them sent for moderator review. I’d like to see an added option where the link is actually blocked/removed entirely from the content being posted, not just posted as plain text. Alternatively, instead of posting the link as plain text, we can set text to replace the link If there’s currently a plug-in/app that can do this, please let me know as this is desperately needed for us.

Ahhh I feel like a dummy. I went through all the settings to make sure I wasn't missing it before I posted and I still did.

Where is the setting to remove the icons from the usermenu?

Yes.

Can this be moved to peer-to-peer tech support, please?

This is where the information is:

yoursite.com/admin > log-in > system > support > choose "Something isn't working correctly" > continue Patch should pop up.

They actually just released a patch to resolve this issue. You should run the support tool via the ACP and apply it.

Is this going to be a public or private resource? I just received your PM but didn't know if it was too late to respond?

Since the Automation Rules app is now defunct, I need help on finding a resource that will add a secondary group to a member automatically based on their age determined by the birthday they input on their profile.

I know you guys have stated that you are interested in possibly providing white label services in the future. Would you guys have a ballpark of how much that kind of service would cost?

There's currently only one built-in manual option in the Withdrawal settings. I'd like to see this expanded to at least 3 if possible. We no longer use the built-in PayPal option and instead created our own manual one for PayPal, but we'd like another manual option to add Stripe for people who live in countries that PayPal is not available. Thanks!

Not the name of the app itself, unfortunately. Forums is /forums, even if you change /topic etc. I assumed he was talking about 3rd party apps, not core.

You can usually do it via language strings and editing the friendly url associated with the app.

I may have spoken too soon? I woke up and noticed we received a few errors in the system logs with info about our S3 storage when someone attempts to download a file they purchased in Downloads. I'm not sure what information should be censored within the error log, so I'll send it to you via PM for a peek. It may not be related and something I need to fix on my end, but I want to make sure.

@All Astronauts I've upgraded to 4.5 and this plugin seems to be working without issue so far the past few days (at least I haven't noticed any errors or issues with our storage), but Invision throws an error about it being incompatible with 4.5 when you try to view it in the marketplace. Any chance for a quick look and possible update?

Is there a way we can switch to PayPal's Payouts API to automatically send withdrawal requests without needing something custom made? In withdrawal settings, Invision forces you to use the legacy NVP/SOAP API integration which utilizes website masspay. It's 75% cheaper to send withdrawals via Payouts API (0.25c per US transaction) than the normal mass payout which is 2% capped at $1-$20+ depending on country.

Since Automation Rules is no longer available/the developer has abandoned it, is there another way to have awards automatically granted?

There are a couple of trader sales apps on the marketplace that will allow you to do a good chunk of what you're asking with just a bit of personal customization to make it suit your specific needs. People have been asking for front-end commerce options for non-staff for years, but I don't think they're interested in it.

I figured out what's causing it to break. Anytime I attempt to upgrade a plugin or application from the ACP marketplace, a technical error occurs and I can no longer access the ACP unless I run recovery mode again and go through all those steps to start back over. (Disabling all apps and plugins, uploading a fresh set of files, and renaming the constants file.) Me attempting to upgrade our theme via the ACP marketplace earlier today is what triggered this issue to begin with, so now I have a pattern.
