Yeah I'm still having the issue also

Ahhhhh ok thanks @Marc Stridgen I guess I was way to eager to pay you guys.  LOL

Ok old thread. I paid for Adriano to create something custom but simple. Maybe if enough people have interest he can make it available on his site.

Works perfectly.

If I was a new developer trying to gain trust, I'd spend some time in the community being helpful and getting to know people. You can quite quickly gain trust this way and then start to offer your services and products.

3rd party devs are still able to provide such update checks and notifications.
TBH, they are now even able to implement much better approaches which would have probably been forbidden in our marketplace because of our guidelines.
License checks, direct download from github for people with a license, etc..

I have submitted a new version and it is currently pending approval.
Thank you.

FYI - I actually had a developer create this plugin for my site. I'll see if he would like to release it to the public.

I'm still using the $20/month plan on my hosted account.  The community I manage is not the largest thing in the world so it seems to do the trick.

Good point. I'll look into it. 

Is it possible to change the sorting by date entered not by vote count?  Even when you hide vote counts competition entries are still sorted by vote count.

HI Adriano,
Just an FYI, the Downloads Category Grid view does not reflect the right prices if using Membershop Points for downloads. It basically just shows everything as free.  The standard default view works fine however.  I figured this is a template thing.  I tried to see if I can find it but not sure what templates this falls under so yeah.  I am just going to revert to the default view until you get a chance to take a look at it. Cheers Mate!!

7.0.0 Submitted! Available when approved...
NEW! Last Searches made by community members added alongside Quicksearch!
NEW! @HDiddy Your Quicksearch filter filter has arrived!
CHANGE! The remove content item icon from search results has been expanded into an emphasized search results view option.
4.7.0 compatibility sweep. All good. 6.0.0 users are fine as well.


This is an option in settings. Toggle it on and the last searches made by your community members will appear here. Unlike Social Search, I do not believe I am running these through the bad word filter - these are a straight pull from what IPS is saving as searches now. Yell if that is a problem. Otherwise, as long as you have searches this will populate nicely. Looks good when QS is not expanded, the results will pile in when it is expanded. There is a hard-coded three-minute cache on these terms. So after three minutes since the last build, the next Quicksearch user (or more likely page load) will rebuild the cache and so on - so your DB load is pretty much nil on this.

This has been sitting in this plugin since December/January I think; sorry bout that. Anyways, as stated above, when you have a ton of pages content every bit gets jammed into Quicksearch. You can toggle some of them off here and just present a lean QS experience instead of overwhelming users with options. This affects the QS EXCLUSIVELY! Users using advanced search will still get all the options they can handle.
As for the emphasized search results option, this:

Becomes this:

No more superfluous icons and photos, slightly enlarged search result text, margins and padding adjusted to fit.
Everything is working as before in 4.7.0 - oh, though I did make an adjustment to the search marking terms cookie auto-destruct time.  When you click through on a search result with Searchlight enabled, your search term comes through on a cookie that is made on the spot, then read once your content page finished loading, and then is wiped out just as fast. I had it set to autodestruct after 8 seconds just as a safety catch but ya know, if you have a content item loading in that is - oh - say - maybe 1/3 of a book text? A really thick book? It takes time for a DB to grab that blob, and then it takes time for your browser to dump all that text into the window. Unlike when IPS was doing this with search and stream results (remember the whole point of this mod initially?), we do want all the text of the content item to load in. But time. Yeah. 8 seconds was not enough so Searchlight would not run if the page took longer than that to load, which it did on one of the sites under my purview. That number is now 16 seconds - maybe more. So, on the off-chance you have massive content items that Searchlight was not firing on to mark out terms, it probably does now 🙂
BTW I'm way behind checking out my apps and plugins for 4.7 but I really do imagine everything is perfectly fine for upgrading if you don't want to wait.

The behaviour of this block seems to have changed with 4.7. Instead of putting multiple images next to each other (as with all other IPS carousels), there is now only one image visible per “page”, leaving an awkward amount of white-space. 

No. Will be here once I finish the fixes.
This version contains fixes and a couple of new features. 

Hi any ETA on this? I didn't see any updates on your board so just wondering if a fix will be coming.

is it possible to override the general permissions of a user group for certain permissions only on a member?
If we want to give some specific permission to a single member, we have to create a group just for him.
It would be easier for each member to also be configurable on all permissions which will take priority when activated over general group permissions.

So I actually spun this up with using the Elasticsearch vs Opensearch.  Gonna have to say it was dirt easy not to mention I can turn it on immediately.  I did my re-index and immediately needed to bump the plan up to the $20/month plan which seems to be enough for now.

Documents = how many things are searchable.  So this could be posts, database records, or files, or literally anything that shows up as a search option.  
Shards = How many "instances" of the index is created.  Each instance can only handle a certain number of queries and requests at one time.  To help scale super large data sets with lots and lots of searching occurring, multiple shards are deployed to help handle lots of activity at once.  In most cases, you don't have to worry about this.  
Read/Update (or sometimes called Write) is the amount of activity associated with how often you pull info from the index or put data back into the index.  This is not something that many providers go to the level of spelling out.  I would personally not worry about it too much unless you have a huge board that has TONS of people searching or that you have Similar Content widget showing on every page that has to query the index to show relevant topics for each topic view.  
Ultimately the biggest limits you need to worry about is the total disk size and how many records you can have.  That should handle for a "majority" of people what they need.  (There are obviously situations where that is wrong, but those tend to be more corner cases than the common use case.)

Thanks for this. Installation was not really my issue, but I can see this helping anyone that didn't go my path.  I used Elestio which handles the installation so I do not have to.  The part that I think some people...including myself is how you configure it back to Invision. A few questions...
Creating an index and any tips are tricks there or anything folks who are fairly technical but brand new to Elasticsearch would benefit from.

This is cool, I am spinning up a Opensearch instance through Elestio and discontinuing my Elasticsearch service which was getting too pricey.  Glad I should be able to activate it when the update comes out.  What would be cool, if anyone had the time, would be to post some standard configuration guides. I always feel like I am doing something wrong messing with Elasticsearch.

I don't think Backblaze is supported...fully at least as it seems to need a secured connection to do Content Dispostion which seems to be the issue for most of these.  For me I have been looking at multiple solutions as My Downloads egress on Wasabi was way too high like 2.5TB compared to the 150GB I have stored.  The CDN Option with cloudflare simply didn't do much at 25% cached on average and in addition to that the whole thing went up in smoke when I got a 522 I could not recover from. I tried to see if Wasabi will match some additional bandwidth cost like their competitors.  No go.  They gave me till Monday to get my bandwidth down. 3 Days.
Fast forward I decided I didn't mind paying a little extra (0.01/GiB) for additional bandwidth but I need to find a provider that works.
First I tried Digital Ocean.  Nice provider but it seems they have switched over to the dreaded must have a signed account for public read.  So this one was a no go, but I might keep it as a storage backup
Next I tried Backblaze.  And like Digital Ocean same thing, trying to download with the headers gives you an error basically saying you are not allowed to do this anonymously.  It works great for pictures if that is what you want to use it for but not so much for downloads.
Next up Linode. Nice little service but I could not get the thing to work with S3Browser, which for me was just a sign this not going to be good.  S3 Browser allows you to do things like update bucket policy and other things many providers do not have a front end for so if it didn't work, it was a no go.
Finally I tried Vultr.  They are a new Object Storage provider so I figured..."Hey Why not".  So I went off transferring my June folder over to do initial testing.  I test by basically grabbing the link that IPS uses in downloads and seeing if it will work or error out.  To my delight and surprise, It WORKED!!  This tells me vultr is pretty much setup exactly like Wasabi, and with S3 Browser any bucket policies I had I can add them directly through an API call.  Also in addition Vultr is fast....like stupid fast compared to the rest.  Backblaze I found to be the slowest of all.
So for pricing Vultr is $5/Month giving you 250GB  of storage (additional 0.02/GiB) and 1TB of Bandwidth (Additional being 0.01/GiB).  For me this turned out to be roughly $25 Per Month for the month Bandwidth I am using.  That price is not bad for the peace of mind.
Anyway wanted to put this up here as I have not really seen much convo on S3 Compatible Storage that actually works outside of Wasabi.

What I am looking for is a persistent block.  It seems this only shows when a user has maxed out their downloads. I like your idea of "Downloads Remaining" I would just like it in a block so I can put it where I like on my site.  The additional information should be provided in a overly when clicked or when the user hovers over the block.

It is. This is a huge resource and unfortunately there’s more people than you with problems with it. Follow the file and you will know when the new version is uploaded. 
Another reason for it is taking long is that I have other 200 resources that deserves some attention/updated and requires support too so this one is not more important than any other to me. 
EDIT: I’ll check if your issue is already fixed in my list and will release a “subversion” on my board so people can use it with some fixes already and then release here on IPS the final when it’s ready. I’ll take a look during weekend.
