The following applications are available for beta testing: IP.Board 3.4.6 IP.Nexus 1.5.9 This round of maintenance updates includes bug fixes for the listed applications. We would like to encourage all interested users to perform as much testing of these apps as possible. As of the date of this post our company forums have been upgraded to these releases. Please report any bugs you find with the beta to our bug tracker. Please pay particular attention to the following areas: The editor, both within IP.Board (topics/posts) and in other areas (such as IP.Content articles, IP.Blog entries, etc.). Pay attention both to the editor itself (i.e. when typing out and formatting your post, and toggling the editor back and forth) and the final post that is submitted. URLs that are submitted with a post being automatically turned into a link correctly. Any IP.Nexus functionality that has to do with grouped renewals. If you find a bug, please be certain to report it to the bug tracker. When doing so, be sure to include as much information as possible that will allow us to reproduce the issue, including what browser you are using, what version of PHP is running on your server, whether this was an upgrade or a fresh installation, and so on. Screenshots are often helpful. As with all beta releases from IPS, these releases are not supported by our technicians until the official final releases are publicly available in our client center. Please do not upgrade your live installation using these betas, as you may find no path between these builds and the final releases that we put out. We recommended, instead, to create a copy of your live board as a test installation, and upgrade your test installation instead. All customers with active licenses can download the betas at: http://community.inv...ower.com/qa.php Thanks in advance! We look forward to your feedback. Zobacz cały wpis

With the release of IPB 4 coming in the future, one of the things that is going to hit people with large communities hard is the conversion to UTF-8 if you are not already there. This can be a huge task, and with bfarber's converter, this works fine, but can be very slow as PHP can only run so quickly as it's bound by a single CPU thread. On my forum, which is a total DB size of ~10GB, bfarber's single threaded script takes over 48 hours straight to run. I found this amount of downtime for my live forum to be unacceptable, so I created a fork of his script and used PHP's fork functions to multi-thread it. With 8 cores assigned to the script, I was able to convert this database in just 5 hours under testing. When I did my live conversion, I assigned 12 cores and was able to do it in 3 hours. This script is aimed at people with large databases, where a conversion would normally take a significant amount of time, and people who are power users and understand server maintenance and configuration. Please ensure you carefully read the included readme.txt file, and the documentation in the PHP file for the settings. The database I converted was an IPB 3.4.5 database, but since this is based on bfarber's script from 2010, there's no reason this shouldn't work on pretty much any IPB version in the 3.x.x series, but I will only be officially supporting it on 3.4.5.

Last week I attended ZendCon 2013, a prominent PHP developer-oriented conference designed to give industry professionals information on tools, practices and trends which will help them deliver enterprise-class software to customers. During the conference, many sponsors set up booths in order to demonstrate new products and services, and many industry professionals hold tutorials and sessions that attendees can attend in order to learn more about our trade. The conference was held in Santa Clara, CA (about an hour south of San Francisco, just outside of San Jose) from October 7th through October 10th. I spent a lot of time at the conference focusing on tutorials and sessions that I felt might provide the most value for our company, in order to deliver better, faster and more stable software for our clients. One tutorial that I attended, for instance, focused entirely on best practices for implementing caching into software (and at the server level), and tuning settings in PHP, MySQL and Apache/NginX to deliver the highest possible performance. Another session I attended focused on Object-Oriented Javascript Programming and the future of Javascript (or, more specifically, ECMAScript 6). By the very nature of the conference, all sessions were very technical in nature, so don't feel too bad if any of this sounds like Greek to you. The point I want readers to take away is that we take our profession seriously, and IPS feels that an investment into continuing education is important for our clients. I had the pleasure of meeting many industry professionals in the PHP world, including Andi Gutmans (CEO and co-founder of Zend Technologies), Zeev Suraski (CTO and co-founder of Zend Technologies), Elizabeth Smith (very active contributor to the PHP project and various PHP extensions), Derick Rethans (creator of XDebug, MongoDB PHP extension, and other PHP project contributions), John Coggeshall (active lead for the PHP Tidy extension) and many other wonderful contributors to the PHP ecosystem. The passion that these people share for the products and services is just amazing, and serves as a great role model for developers everywhere. I won't spend much time getting into the nitty gritty details of each session I attended. Some were very technical in nature, while some focused on more abstract necessities of running a team of developers and managing day-to-day development duties (for example, discussing things like time management, gathering project requirements effectively, and so on). All in all, every session I attended provided useful information that I feel we can make use of to better our processes and delivery of future software releases. As I said, here at IPS we take our profession very seriously. We will always strive to deliver the best possible software, and are thankful for the contributions of our third party developer community as well as the rest of our clients, whom provide us with bug reports and feedback that help to improve our products. We have many exciting things in store in the coming months, so stay tuned by subscribing to our company blog to be notified of changes and updates. Zobacz cały wpis

In a recent blog entry, we talked about theming in IPS Social Suite 4. More often than not, you'll want to upload a new logo, tweak a few colours, add some custom HTML or work on the global template to incorporate your existing site wrapper. For this blog entry, I want to talk about the tools we have for more in-depth theming that professional themers will want to use to create downloadable themes for others to use. Custom Settings In 3.x, we have a number of system settings throughout the suite that control design decisions, such as displaying sidebars, or controlling the layout of items on a page. This isn't ideal, because we're limiting what themes can do themselves (and of course enforcing what they must support too). Instead, it would be better if these design decisions could be controlled by each individual theme, giving theme designers the freedom to be creative and display content in entirely new ways. In IPS Social Suite 4, we've added per-theme custom settings. This enables you to create settings that are configurable by administrators when editing a theme. Even if you're not creating a theme to sell, you may want to add settings to control areas of your theme that are managed without making template edits each time you wish to make a change. For example, the default theme will have an option to add a rounded border effect to user photos. This is something that would be unnecessary as a system setting, but makes sense as a custom theme setting. Or you might want to add a setting that allows admins to toggle between showing and hiding a sidebar. There are a lot of possibilities here that would have required extensive custom code in 3.x. Once you have created a custom setting, you're then able to use it in a HTML template or CSS file simply by using the following syntax: <div>{theme="rounded_photos"}</div> You can manage the custom settings from the theme edit form under the 'Custom' tab: Version Check We've added the ability for theme creators to include a URL that is checked multiple times a day. All you as the theme creator needs to do is return a simple JSON object like this example: There are times when you want to change many template bits and CSS files using your own development tools. The new ACP template and CSS editor is great for making edits now that it supports full syntax highlighting but for more advanced work you'll want to work with your favourite IDE and make use of its tools such as file compare and searching. In IP.Board 3 we have the WebDav interface which allows you to work with plain .html and .css files but because it's sent over HTTP and each item needs recompiling to show changes, it's often a little sluggish and can be frustrating to work with if connection speeds start to suffer. In IPS Social Suite 4 you can work with plain .html and .css files locally; there's no need to fire up a WebDav client. You enable designer's mode by adding a constant into constants.php. This will automatically write out the HTML and CSS files into a directory called "themes" right in your suite's root folder. You can edit these files and the changes are instantly applied to the suite making working very fast indeed. Once you're done working in designer's mode, simply sync back the changes using the menu item on the theme's row and remove the constant. This will copy the changes back to the database and remove any stale compiled templates and CSS files. Diff It's often very useful after upgrading to see which template bits have changed. The new "diff" tool instantly provides a list of changed, deleted or added template bits and CSS files. You can even download a copy as a stand-alone HTML file to distribute with your theme sets. These advanced tools will make creating themes for IPS Social Suite 4 easier than ever before. We look forward to seeing what you create with them! Attached Thumbnails Zobacz cały wpis
