My pleasure! Future correspondence will be provided to you via email for this one.
I am happy for you to provide any follow ups here if you deem it beneficial for future clients.
Milestone: 100 posts helping the IPS community. 🥳

Oh okay then, one of those situations. In case there's also the option of hiring a different developer to update it for you, or at least give it a quick check at least: https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers/
 
Making it compatible might end up being a simple thing depending on what needs to be updated. I've done several similar updates myself recently with this whole PHP 8 compatibility chaos. 😅

Earlier this year, I commissioned a custom plugin, which has been running happily on my Starter plan cloud site ever since. (I mean, I assume it's happy; it doesn't talk much about its feelings.) But now, I see that uploading custom plugins is listed as outside the scope of the Starter package. Did this drop off the Starter plan list of features recently? I assume it did, or I wouldn't have been able to upload the first one, unless I'm some sort of unconscious hacking genius. (Spoiler alert: I'm not.)
I had envisioned commissioning additional plugins over time, but I have no intention of upgrading to the next plan anytime in the near future, since it would double the cost of running the site and I am nowhere near the membership level to justify it.
I am sad.

 

The specific reason that causes an issue is because it itself has a dependency of the XML plugin being installed - so make sure you install that too (just tested, fixes the problem)
Also...make sure that the plugin you are installing is compatible with the version of ckeditor in use (IPS 4.6.8 uses CKEditor 4.16.2)

Basically, a community that enforces its standards fairly. A moderation team that is sensitive to nuances, so that they can recognize when a member is engaging in bullying and harassment that isn't necessarily as obvious as a verbal bludgeoning. Not mistaking bluntness and direct communication for rudeness, and stepping in to call that out when someone in the community takes it that way. Not conflating disagreement or refutations with personal attacks, and stepping in to call that out when a member is making such a conflation.. Not allowing marginalized members to be intimidated into silence.
These are the types of things that can ruin a member's experience in a community, and they occur with disturbing frequency.

I hope not! 🙂

Jordan wanted to make Achievements cloud-only but I said no.

Correct - but we shouldn't have to build new page templates, and not everyone is up to doing this, so whilst you are correct I am asking for something out of the box and not having to make new templates.  I can do this myself, but I am asking on behalf of those who can't 🙂
 

Yes. I'd finally figured that out. If you picture someone who's just moved into a furnished house and suddenly dealing with a power outage, stumbling around in the dark and knocking things over and slamming their head into unseen walls, you'll have an accurate read on my attempt to wrangle managing this forum.

Paul...you spend a ton of time defending the group and throwing shade at me, when I began polite in this thread, and only responded in a like way to when impolite activity was directed at me.  I make a suggestion, get belittled in the process, respond to it and yet the problem is with me?  You denigrate me further by reporting posts on a new forum during the slowest time of the year for college football as a means of placing value on my suggestions?  Geez....I guess you have to take a cheap shot wherever you can.
Everything in those rules are things people have done, and some have materialized in this thread, when all I want both there and here is discussion and debate where we stay on topic and do not get personal.  That should not be such a difficult goal, but it is here.
Look who is talking...whew!
That is quite fascinating Christopher, and I thank you for the introduction to the concept.

I fear you may be violating the very rules you are trying to get your own members to follow.

I've not seen a pattern here where someone's ideas were cast aside because of what organization or community a person was from. I am not discounting your ideas simply because your community is in its infancy.
It may serve you well to find value in the input of others even when that input is contrary to what you might like to hear. Maybe you're appealing to probability, or using kettle logic, or falling prey to a false dilemmas or dichotomies. I don't think things are quite as black and white as you perceive them to be, and I think your abrasive approach is creating unnecessary friction. That's the nerve you've hit.
I've taken a look at your community. You have published over 50 individually numbered rules/edicts for your membership. That's more ten more rules than the number of posts your community members posted yesterday. Who knows how many of those rules I've broken in this reply. You're applying these rules which we'll all assume serve your community well to the replies we offer here, where you find yourself in the presence of peers who are all responsible for managing communities large and small, and who all have their own philosophies and thoughts on community management.
This is not about others having not thought of the idea, and therefore finding value in yours. You've failed to read the room. Rule number 4 on your community is "do not assert a position of authority." I really want to help you craft your idea into something that works for you and might work for others, and will regularly and ferociously champion the good ideas of others. There are nuggets of value in your proposition, yet you'll need to do some work to denigrate less, listen more, and be a bit more respectful in your approach if you want to be heard.

You can change this on the REST API - API Log page, but there's no way to disable the logging, you can only reduce the timeframe to 1 day.
 

I think you must have REST API logs enabled to log all activity. You should have a look at those. I pruned it for you.

No worries! Self-hosted sites and CIC sites are going to have completely different troubleshooting paths when dealing with issues outside of the IPS software itself (or sometimes in extending or integrating things). It'd be nice if when posting here, there were a prompt to select what is applicable to the question or issue being asked. @Jordan Invision

I will have a look at your account and get back to you. That does seem abnormally high. I can see on the backend what is specifically using space.

Well, unfortunately this conflicts with Rule 47.3(b) on my forum, and I once won a very prestigious award for best avatar in the category of subtle dig for cartoon based staff heads, for which I was the sole entrant and judge.
Apologies. I'm sure you understand. Number one, and all.

I think the approach you're suggesting is interesting and I think you could do it with minimal effort depending on how you'd engineer it. Yet it's difficult to get behind championing a cause when the rationale is based on who you are and what your Alexa rank is instead of helping us understand the benefits such a system would have for a significant enough number of IPS customers, who are using this platform in a way that is different from the design and purpose of Disqus.
There are many customers here with equally laudable successes and far greater ones. We're here learning from each other, bouncing ideas and suggestions around, and typically we all get farther along and more easily heard when we leave the grandstanding and humble bragging aside.
You may consider engaging as an enterprise-level customer if your requirements and business are such that such a contract makes sense for you, and I'm sure IPS would work with you to build out a statement of work, and this may fit into the Disqus like offering they have at the enterprise-level.

This is probably best achieved with the current IPS (what's available today) by requiring posts to be approved by moderators. That will work exactly as you describe, without having the need to preassign moderators to a given post. Moderators work the queue and will decide whether to approve/hide/delete/edit a post in sequential order for all posts that haven't been touched yet. The other things you've described seem like unnecessary overhead, and if you have people at the ready on a schedule to review things as they come in, this is the approach I'd recommend. They can just decide on the content in front of them and not have to worry about the rest, and offensive stuff never makes it on your site without having been checked by one of your moderators.
While there is a per member activity stream, there's also the ability to set activity streams at a global level. These can be customized globally through the ACP, or set on a per moderator account level. See this link for an example of it here:
https://invisioncommunity.com/discover/
Notably, IPS does not offer a way to moderate directly from this view, however you can click through to the content and take action at that point. This is a point of improvement that is needed: the ability to moderate content from wherever it is displayed.

Other people think so, too!
 

If you're only looking to use the reactions to add flavor and not as a component for gauging "positive" and "negative" responses to a user's content, I could see this being useful. If the point is to use reactions as a form of social pressure (where the goal is to get positive responses rather than negative), the larger the list of reactions you have, the more you dilute that purpose.

Agree!
The level of realistic goes up proportional to the amount of demand for the feature. I imagine if some large whale of an enterprise client came up to IPS and asked for this to be added as contingent on some juicy CIC contract, it'd find its way in pretty quickly. We just need this to be important to that guy with the gaming forum thing. Where'd he go?
