Long MySQL Queries in Supergrid
admin replied to scott101's topic in Public support requests and announcements
SuperGrid is just a template set. It doesn’t contain any custom queries. The queries all come from the core and the data is then displayed through the SuperGrid template structure. That’s it. So I don’t think your issues are actually caused by SuperGrid. -
admin started following What products do you hope to see from me for 5.x?
-
My 4.x products can be put into one of two categories: Theme tweaks (“Enhanced …”) Pages database sets (“Super…”) Category 1 seems to become almost impossible with 5.x, as theme templates only allow functional injections, not the replacements of template code I used before. Category 2 might still be possible. I haven’t had a chance to look into the ACP of 5.x. But IPS just announced the new Page Builder for 5.x, which offers a native functionality similar to what I offered with my bestsellers like SuperGrid and SuperBlocks. Sure, my products come with tons of additional options and visual improvements for various use cases – those are nice to have, but I am not sure they will be significant enough to justify the development and support of dedicated template products. And the closing of the Marketplace will reduce chances for sales even more. So, what do you think? Will those native feature be good enough for you? Which of my products do you hope to see continued and why? I am still happy and willing to explore a continuation of some of my products for 5.x, but looking at the status quo, there is a good chance that it might not be viable. My IPS license for opentype.space still runs until early 2025. If I need to close shop, it would probably happen at this time, but also not earlier. Until then, I am happy to explore if a new chapter is still possible.

Database with two or more filters
admin replied to Forbiddeen's topic in Public support requests and announcements
Sorry, I am not sure what the question is. Are you looking for someone to set this up for you? Or are you asking if that is technically possible? -
Well, it is easily achievable if you know how to customize the templates. You would just need to add {$row->record_views} to show the record views in a listing template. But if you are not experienced with HTML coding and the IPS framework, I would not suggest to do it. That’s all I can say unfortunately. I can’t walk people through customizations.

It was mentioned already in the first post, but since I still get a lot of questions about this, let me clarify it again: There is no option to move over purchases from the IPS Marketplace to this website and I do not plan to create such an option. A few developers moved their applications from the IPS Marketplace to their own website and installed an import script, so that Marketplace customers maintain access to updates on the developer’s website. While this is a nice option, it is not something all developers must do or will do. I decided against it and there are several reasons for it. I do not expect that any of my products will need updates in the 4.x product line. IPS is not developing the 4.x product line further and there will only be minor updates in the future. My template & theme products will likely continue to work as long as 4.x is available and supported. Adding all my ~30 products to the Downloads system here would be a lot of work for nothing, if no update is ever needed. I will of course still provide full support if there are issues with any resource. This is handled manually through the forums or private messages. I never intended to sell my products directly. This is because of the taxation and bookkeeping requirements in my country. In addition, with 5.x around the corner, sales for 4.x products are winding down. That’s why moving the products to my own store is not an option for me. It’s just not worth the effort. 5.x would be a new start. I do not yet know what will happen to my products with Invision Community 5. Some of my products will probably be impossible with 5.x. The Pages templates products, if continued, will probably be needed to be recreated again from scratch to work with the new CSS/HTML/JS framework. That means there couldn’t be free upgrades anyway. If I would continue to offer products, it would be a fresh start either here or on some other marketplace I might choose to sell my future resources. Having a 4.x purchase on file here wouldn’t make a difference and therefore an import of your purchases is not necessary or useful. Long story short: No action is currently required on your part regarding my products on your community websites. Just keep them installed and you can keep using them as long as you are on Invision Community 4.x.

With the closure of the IPS Marketplace, my products for Invision Community 4 are not available separately anymore. But I am now offering a bundle of all my current 4.x files for just $99 instead of $371 (combined price). What’s included: Add Items to Mobile Navbar (value $16) Apple Music Song Embedding (value $18) Enhanced Commerce Views (value $20) Enhanced Forum Views (value of $20) Enhanced Member Widgets (value of $14) Enhanced Similar Content Widget (value of $14) Pages SuperAccordion Pro (value of $20) Pages SuperBlocks (value of $25) Pages SuperDirectory (value of $22) Pages SuperDocs (value of $18) Pages SuperGallery (value of $18) Pages SuperGrid (value of $25) Pages SuperHelp (value of $18) Pages SuperList (value of $15) Pages SuperQuote (value of $15) Pages SuperReviews (value of $25) Pages SuperTopics (value of $16) Pages SuperVote (value 0f $20) Sticky Contact Us Button (value of $12) SuperShow YouTube Feed Widget (value of $25) SuperTimeline (value of $15) Notes and Conditions: All files are provides as XML to be installed in the plugin section of the 4.x ACP The products can be installed on Invision Community 4.7 and later versions of 4.x. The purchase does NOT qualify for updates to Invision Community 5. Only basic support for the usage of the products is provided. There will likely NOT be any compatibility updates for later versions of 4.x unless there are crucial issues (like completely breaking a page view). There are no additional discounts for users who have already purchased some of my products. Check the product links above for product details and installation instructions License covers installation on multiple websites as long as they are fully owned by the customer making the purchase$99

As you might have heard, IPS is shutting down its Marketplace. What does that mean if you bought any of my products in the past? Products for Invision Community 4.x All my products for Invision Community 4.x are expected to remain functional throughout the entire 4.x life cycle. IPS will only release minor updates for 4.x from now on and I don’t think there will be any breaking changes that require updates for my products. For that reason, there is also no need to manually move over all purchases from the IPS Marketplace to this website. However, I strongly suggest that you make use of the Marketplace as long as it exists! If any of my products are shown to have updates available, update them now before the Marketplace shuts down. If you bought any of my products, but they are currently not installed, install them again so they remain accessible to you even after the Marketplace shutdown. If you plan to stay on 4.x for a while, check out my new SuperBundle of all my 4.x products. https://www.opentype.space/files/file/5-invision-community-4x-superbundle/ Products for Invision Community 5.x It’s impossible to say at this point what will happen with my products and Invision Community 5.x. I will first have to see and test the alpha versions of the product to know anything for certain. However, all of my products are plugins and many of them use theme template edits. As far as I understand it, both of these functionalities are going away with Invision Community 5. Therefore there is a good chance that those products will not be updated for Invision Community 5. I am most interested in bringing my “Pages database template” products over to Invision Community 5, but again, it’s impossible to say at this point if that is possible or needed anymore, as IPS has also announced overhauling Pages. I will update this topic as soon as I know more.

By default, Pages databases work like a blogging system. You just add a title and a body text to each record. But with custom fields, you can present any kind of content. It’s an extremely powerful and versatile system to collect and show data around your community topic. But as you might have found out already, the styling options for custom fields are limited and often you will have to turn on the “Custom listing/display view format” options and write your own HTML code. This article is a collection of useful code snippets based on years of experience setting up custom Pages databases.

SuperAccordion Pro is a (record feed) block template for Pages databases. It allows the display of database records in a compact way where users don’t have to open each record to see the content. You can use it for FAQ databases, instructions and similar uses with text content consisting of one or a couple of paragraphs. What is required: Latest IPS installation with the Pages applications and access to Pages Databases You should be familiar with setting up Pages databases and Pages blocks. (Keep in mind: This product is not an app. The setup and the content creation happens through the regular use of Pages. The product only delivers a template to turn a feed block into an accordion.) What is supported: Pages feed blocks for Pages databases Fields: title field, content field, record image, custom listing fields (like badges) Installation and customization: Follow the instruction on the demo page Settings: Simplified mode Hides the block title and the borders Notes: Colors are inherited from the theme, so it can work on installations with multiple themes. There are no additional color settings. SuperAccordion works best for a records consisting of a few paragraphs or short lists. The use for long articles is not recommended and might lead to unexpected results.

How to use custom webfonts with Invision Community
admin commented on admin's article in Free Articles
I had a look at your site. The forum text on mobile should come from this declaration, which you should be able to override in the custom.css @media screen and (max-width: 767px) .ipsType_normal { font-size: 13px; } } -
How to use custom webfonts with Invision Community
admin commented on admin's article in Free Articles
@Claudia In general: I would suggest to adjust the “Font Scale” settings in the Theme settings. This would be global, but if your new/custom font looks smaller, than it will be smaller everywhere. There is no easy way to just increase the size on mobile. You would of course need to use a media query, but you would also have to specifically target certain CSS classes and there are so many of them. -

Yes, this is the sidebar demonstration. It works just as in the main content column, but without the record image.
