Is there any known issues with the widget filtering by forum not working? It doesn't matter what I choose in the forums select it makes no difference.

No. There are still engineering challenges to overcome. Sphinx (or similar) would, however, improve the resource overhead and lead to better results. We are doing, as I mentioned, external search, but it will most likely be Elasticsearch - not Sphinx. 

 

Either works for me.  

Thanks Lindy.

Some of this is actually quite a large engineering task. Improved app searching through Commerce, Pages, etc. is definitely something that will be addressed and I know at a user-level, this seems like a no-brainer, but to allow IPS4 to do things like the activity stream and advanced search across all apps simultaneously, it utilizes a search index... this means data is aggregated into a single table for efficient-esque access. It's not efficient, in its current architecture, to dump everything in Pages, custom Downloads fields, etc. within it as well. So, there are a couple of ideas being discussed internally that need to be vetted, POC'd and benchmarked before being considered further. 

It will happen in due course. Our focus right now is on engagement -- things like reputation, keeping people active, etc. We'll likely be getting into enhanced search (yes, including external search engine support) by summer. 

 

You guys could always re-implement Sphinx. Wouldn't that do all of this out of the box? 

Putting my weight in here also.

I'm using Google Custom Search (CSE) on my site now as the built-in search is just terrible and the search result page was high on my sites Exit Pages. 

Adding to this the inability to search extra fields is just absurd and creates a strangle hold on a community market place that IPS are so keen to build up and improve.

I suggest you to post here https://invisionpower.com/forums/topic/433958-extra-fields-search-is-uselessdo-not-work-the-way-it-is/ to make IPS change things. The way it is today, is useless.

 

Oh I see. My apologies, I thought it was a feature that you provided. 

The search sucks at the moment, I've replaced mine with Google Site Search to keep people from leaving.

There's a setting on Extra Fields that allows search but I don't remember if the field appears on search form. 

Thats a big feature for me. How can I find out if it does? 

I'm sorry if this has been asked, I searched the topic but couldn't find my answer.

Does this support additional field searching?

Eg, if I have a product that only fits Nissan, can I create a field for 'Car Make' and then allow end users to search that field for Nissan ? 

Thanks

Hello,

The plugin use inbuilt methods. If you give me acp/ftp access I'll look into.

Thanks but don't worry. The search on my site is pitiful and just can't perform well with over 7m posts. I'm switching all search to Google now.

Thanks again

The performance of this is pretty poor. It takes forever to load on my site.

If the hook position is not suitable. Disable the "Enable hook?" plugin setting and instead add your guest message as a widget instead.

That worked perfectly, thank you! 

Hi Mike,

Another awesome plugin/app from you. Thank you so much.

A quick question - Can I move the guest message below the top ad? I'm not seeing the ad on mobiles unless you scroll and I can't lose those impressions.

Thanks very much!

Yep, heres two;

Hi Mike, images on page 1 seem fine. Its definitely some images now and not all.

My limited understanding of css is that it should only set a "max" dimension and if below should still use the images natural dimensions.

Correct! At least, thats my understanding also.

If your Portal publicly available? If so, I wouldn't mind viewing it and ruling out any client side issues on your end. I recently worked on another site with the Portal installed and the image loaded fine with a custom theme as well.

Yep. www.sau.com.au/forums/portal

You can see a squished one on pg5 atm;

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/portal/?page=5

Hi Mike,

Yep, the problem exists on default theme.

That line is as you posted it;

{{if $firstImage}}
    <img src='{$firstImage}' class='ipsPos_right ipsThumb ipsThumb_large ipsResponsive_hidePhone' />
{{endif}}

The class ipsthumb_large adds a max width & height of 175px. It seems this is what is constraining it.

Have you made any changes to the portal template yet? I did a little testing on this before and was sure it was somewhat adaptive to different aspect ratios.

No changes to the template - maybe thats a quick fix? Which template houses this?

Thanks Mike.

Hi Mike, 

Yep, here you are;

I have uninstalled the plugin and removed your account. I am irritated that you just logged in and made changes without asking me (and going against what I told you).

The plugin obviously doesn't work with busy sites and I wont let you test changes on my production environment. 

I'll just cut my losses and move on. 

Did you seriously just log in and enable the plugin after I told you it crashes the site? Because that's what has happened!

I told you last time not to log in and enable it! 

I'm just going to uninstall it now just leave it.

Hi @onlyME - will the latest version stop the table locks in MySQL that I get when using the widget? 

I still can't use any widgets as it brings down my site. 

Hi @Mike John just wondering if we could have an option added to force aspect ratio on thumbs? Mine are all squished.

As always, I'm very appreciative of your work. Thank you.

Awesome! Thanks Mike! 

Woops, missed that update. Thanks Mike. I'm just 302'ing to the /portal page for the time being.

Mike, my portal just shows a 404.
