    evcom reacted to opentype in Pages SuperReviews (Support Topic)   
    I am not sure what is going on there. 
    To narrow it down further, you could try to assign the IPS stock listing template and see if the button still appears. If so, it would be an IPS issue. If not, I will have to take another look. I guess you have Post before Register activated?

    It works like every database relationship field. In fact, this should work even if you deactivate SuperReviews.
    You link an entry in the review database:

    And then it should show on the review record page:

    And if cross-links are activated, it will show on the record in the foreign database for the entries being reviewed:

    evcom got a reaction from Mateusz Manikowski in Job Board App ?   
    Well, it's been a while since the community here talked about the job board app. Does anyone have news on this? I guess the project has been dropped?  
    I am thinking to use the app "pages super directory" instead.

    evcom got a reaction from Makoto in Conversion MyISAM to InnoDB error..   
    Thanks Makoto, given the circumstances, I will probably stick with MyISAM for the time being. If the community grows over time, I will then consider moving to another server where I can either configure the setting myself or onto a shared hosting which has the option"innodb_large_prefix=1" enabled.

    evcom reacted to Interferon in 4.5 is really good   
    We did away with our heavily customized forum skin and just went with the default, with our own header and footer added. Then I changed the colors of that skin to make a dark version. It required a few lines of code in custom.css and it's not quite finished, but the results are really good. This is the best our forum has ever looked, and it's also the lowest-maintenance its ever been.
    The integrated GIFs, little changes like the rounded border around the reactions display, and other subtle improvements have made this update really nice. My community site feels lightweight, responsive, and alive. It definitely feels more like a "social community" than a boring old forum.

    evcom got a reaction from B_U_R_I in Trying to understand Bulk Mail Cycle   
    @xtech From my perspective, the feature mentioned by you would make sense. Many SMTP providers limit the number of mails per day. Plus it would possibly bring many other benefits (less SPAM classifications). 
    I've been using the bulk mail functionality for about half a year using the PHP delivery method. It worked ok, and I would say, transactional e-mails have not been affected so far (Community with 1000 members, one  monthly newsletter). Bulk Mails were usually sent within a few minutes, however not all were delivered due to no SPF, DKIM, etc.  
    Now that the Community is growing, I would like to improve e-mail delivery, and I have switched to an SMTP provider. Currently I am testing delivery etc...
    @B_U_R_I I've had exactly the same problem with a similar size of our Community. Most free plans have daily usage limits, making the solution a no go for sending e.g. a Bulk Mail with > 500 subscribers. 

    I was looking at Mailgun, they have apparently no daily sending limit and a "pay as you go" plan which is very affordable. However, you would likely be on a probation period with < 100 Mails/day. I am using at the moment elasticemail. They also have a "pay as you go" plan (but you need to deposit a credit of 10 USD) to start. Otherwise a very affordable for smaller communities. No daily sending limit. 
    Yesterday I've tried to send a Bulk Mail from within Invision Community. So far no Bulk Mail has been delivered, except during a test where I've sent the bulk mail content to one recipient. This one was delivered approximately after 6 hours. And interestingly, bulk mails do not appear in the elasticemail dashboard. Transactional mails seem to work just fine and are also listed. 
    I will get in touch with the provider to better understand why bulk mails are not delivered resp. not displayed in the dashboard. 
    If I can solve it, it would be worth a recommendation. Keep you posted.

    The error will be logged to the email error logs, but we will not automatically try to resend. You can attempt to manually resend individual failed emails from the email error logs.

    evcom reacted to bfarber in Trying to understand Bulk Mail Cycle   
    The constant controls how many emails are sent per cycle but the software will still try to process as many cycles as it can in one go. The constant, in other words, is not going to work how you want it to. It's not intended to control the number of emails sent each time the task runs, it's meant to help control how many emails are sent each time we try to push the emails to the server - if your SMTP server is particularly slow, for instance, it may be able to handle 30 at a time but not 50.

    evcom reacted to bfarber in Autofill textarea fields   
    Generally speaking, textarea fields are not autofilled by most browsers. This isn't specific to our software. <input> (and <textarea>) HTML form elements have an autocomplete attribute that can be applied to turn autocompletion on or off, and we do not set this property for most fields, including textarea inputs (so it will default to on).

    evcom reacted to Aiwa in Just tried the mobile app... Yikes.   
    Both sides of the fence have valid points. The app, in its current form, is not a one size fits all. I’d like to hope it can get that way, but that depends on a lot of factors in play across many highly customized communities. 
    It has great benefits, push notifications for one, but those benefits may not benefit everyone.

    evcom reacted to Jordan Miller in Just tried the mobile app... Yikes.   
    My initial thoughts are that if you build a great product, it will become profitable. 
    If your site includes content outside of IPB, like Wordpress, then yes that will be an issue. I used to use Wordpress and IPB and made the decision in February to be fully IPB and it was the best decision I've made for my site (maybe ever). Simplifying is important.
    Custom features and skins... I love my theme, but I also love the simplicity of an app. If there were a few color schemes for sites to choose from that could suffice in the beginning.
    Additional costs to maintain an app... if it's packaged in with IPB then I imagine it wouldn't be too costly as it would be the service they are providing a for an annual fee (perhaps).
    Decreased monetization... apps can implement advertising. I was thinking of giving my paying subscribers access to the app, so it would be monetized that way for me.
    SEO... yea, that's a good point. However, the app would be in addition to your live site just like how this community currently is. 🙂

    evcom reacted to Vodafone CZ in Custom fields options   
    sometimes custom fields take a lot of space and make post higher than needed, it would be nice to have option in setting to place them at the bottom of the post like i have it on my customised template

    when admin decides to have it under user info pane, there should be another option - to have all fields visible (current state) or to have them in pop-up menu like on https://rog.asus.com/forum/

    Please add the ability to add a poll to a pages record or by itself as a record. I run a news site, forums are not part of a local news site in general, but the ability to add a poll would be fantastic. Since the software is sold now by app basis, pages would be deserving of this ability imo.
    Thank You

    evcom reacted to opentype in Issue with sorting records in pages database   
    Yeah, we had a recent discussion about that. Couldn’t find it now. It does sort it, but not numerically. It will sort 1, 11, 2, 23, 3 and so on instead of 1, 2, 3, 11, 23. 
    I hope it is fixed for 4.5.

    Done and fixed. There was nothing wrong with the setup or the software itself. Here the answer from Invision Support: 
    So when checking my admin e-mail account, the language labels were in the language of the ACP. Checking inboxes of test-users revealed that the labels were in the same language as the used frontend language.

    The release for 4.5 shouldn’t take long. 
    Permissions for Pages databases can be set on the category level. 
  23. Thanks
    evcom reacted to opentype in Premium posts or threads - what are the options?   
    It is possible with the normal permission system. You just have to apply the permissions on the category level, not the item level. But in the feeds where all items are mixed, it still leads to the result you are asking for. You can also use Pages feed blocks which have the option to ignore user permissions, so you get a proper preview without view access of the entry.
