Duken Forum upgrade 4.3.*

[Duken]

Duken.nl zal binnenkort updaten naar versie 4.3.x

Daarin zitten weer veel nieuwe features, hier de hoogtepunten. (In het Engels, dat wel  )

 

Some highlights in Invision Community 4.3 include...

Improved Search

We now support Elasticsearch for scalable and accurate searching that MySQL alone cannot provided. There are also enhancements to the overall search interfaces based on your feedback.

 

Emoji

Express yourself with native emoji support in all editors. You can also keep your custom emoticons as you have now.

Emoji has become a standard across mobile and desktop devices so it made sense to bring them to Invision Community fully.

You can choose from 3 different styles of Emoji:

• The native style provided by the user's operating system (if you choose this option, users on different platforms will see different styles)
• Twitter style
• EmojiOne style

Emoji Settings

Once you have chosen one of these options, all of the available Emoji will show in the emoticons selector when making a post. Unlike in older versions, the entire list is scrollable (the categories drop down will jump you to the category rather than filter), you can search, and standard Emoji features like skin tone modifiers are fully supported, and of course, you can make them as big as you like.

Navigating Emoji

Skin Tone Modifier

Make Emoji any size

 

Autocompleting Short Codes

In addition to using the selector, you can also use optionally enable standard :short_codes:. These will be autocompleted as you type.

Autocompleting Short Codes

You can also enable more conventional ASCII emoticons to be automatically replaced too:

ASCII Short Codes

 

Don't Worry: Custom Emoticons Aren't Going Anywhere!

You can use custom emoticons either instead of, or even alongside Emoji. If you give your custom emoticons a text replacement starting and ending with : they will even show in the autocompletion alongside Emoji.

Custom Emoticons

Member Management

The AdminCP interface to manage your members is all new allowing you easier control and management of your membership.

 

Automatic Community Moderation

You as the administrator set up rules to define how many unique member reports a piece of content needs to receive before it's automatically hidden from view and moderators notified.

 

Clubs

The new Clubs feature has been a huge hit with Invision Community users and we are expanding it to include invite-only options, notifications, exposure on the main community pages, paid memberships, and more.

Custom Email Footers

Your community generates a lot of email and you can now include dynamic content in the footer to help drive engagement and content discovery. 

New Gallery Interface

We have reworked our Gallery system with a simplified upload process and more streamlined image viewing.

 

The full list follows. Enjoy!

Content Discovery

• We now support Elasticsearch which is a search utility that allows for much faster and more reliable searching.
• The REST API now supports search functions.
• Both MySQL and Elasticsearch have new settings for the admin to use to set search-defaults and default content weighting to better customize search logic to your community.
• Visitors can now search for Content Pages and Commerce Products.
• When entering a search term, members now see a more clear interface so they know what areas they are searching in and the method of search.

Member Engagement

• Commerce can now send a customizable account welcome email after checkout.
• You can whitelist emails in the spam service to stop false-positives.
• REST API has many enhancements to mange members.
• Ability to join any OAuth service for login management.
• Invision Community can now be an OAuth endpoint.
• Wordpress OAuth login method built in.
• Support for Google's Invisible ReCaptcha.
• Groups can be excluded from Leaderboard (such as admins or bot groups).
• All emails generated by Invision Community can now contain admin-defined extra promotional text in the footer such as recent topics, Our Picks, and more.
• Admins can now define the order of Complete Your Profile to better control user experience.

Clubs

• Option to make a Club visible but invite-only
• Admins can set an option so any Club a member is part of will also show in the parent application. So if you are in a Club that has a Gallery tab then those image will show both in the Club and in the main Gallery section of the community.
• Club members can now follow an entire Club rather than just each content section.
• There is a new option on the Club directory page for a list view which is useful for communities with many Clubs.
• If you have Commerce you can now enable paid memberships to Clubs.
• Admins can set limits on number of Clubs per group.
• If a group has delete permission in their Club, they can now delete empty containers as well.
• Members can ignore invitations.

Moderation and Administration

• Unrestricted moderator or administrator permission sets in the AdminCP are visually flagged. This prevents administrator confusion when they cannot do something as they will be able to quickly see if their account has restrictions.
• You can choose to be notified with a new Club is created.
• Moderators can now reply to any content item with a hidden reply.
• Download screenshot/watermarks can now be rebuilt if you change settings.
• Support for Facebook Pixel to easily track visitors.
• Moderators can now delete Gallery albums.
• Automatic moderation tools with rules to define when content should auto-hide based on user reports.
• Totally new member management view in AdminCP.
• More areas are mass-selectable like comments and AdminCP functions for easier management.

New Features

• Commerce now has full Stripe support including fraud tools, Apple Pay, and other Stripe features.
• Commerce packages can now have various custom email events configured (expiring soon, purchased, expired).
• Full Emojii support in the editor.
• Setting so when someone is typing in an editor, other members will see a "Member X is typing..." status in the editor view.
• Complete overhaul of the Gallery upload and image views.
• Announcements system overhaul. Now global on all pages (not via widget) and new modes including dismissible announcements and top-header floating bar option.
• Many new reports on traffic and engagement in the AdminCP.
• Blog has new view modes to offer options for a traditional site blog or a community multi-member blog platform.
• The content-starter can now leave one reply to Reviews on their item.
• Commerce now makes it much easier to do basic account-subscriptions when there is no product attached.

Useful Improvements

• Forums has a new widget where you can filter by tags.
• If tags are not required, the tag input box now indicates this so the member knows they do not have to put in tags.
• Member cover photos can now be clicked to see the full image.
• Any item with a poll now has a symbol on the list view.
• Twitch.tv embed support.
• You can now update/overwrite media in the Pages Media Manager.
• Mapbox as an additional map provider to Google Maps.

Technical Changes

• Direct support for Sparkpost has been removed. Anyone currently using Sparkpost will automatically have their settings converted to the Sparkpost SMTP mode so your email will still work.
• Your cache engines (like Redis) will be checked on upgrade and in the support tool to ensure they are reachable.
• Third-party applications will now be visually labeled to distinguish them from Invision Community official applications.
• The queued tasks list in the AdminCP is now collapsed by default as queued tasks are not something people need to pay much attention to during normal operations.
• When upgrading from version 3 series you must convert your database to UTF8 and the system saves your original data in tables prefixed with orig. The AdminCP now alerts you these are still present and allows you to remove them to reclaim storage space.
• On new installs there are now reasonable defaults for upload limits to keep people from eating up storage space.
• Categories in all apps (forums, gallery albums, databases, etc.) no longer allow HTML in their titles. This has been a concern both in terms of security and usability so we were forced to restrict it.
• Large improvements to the Redis cache engine including use for sessions.
• The login with HTTPS option has been removed and those who were using it will be given instructions to convert their entire community to HTTPS.
• Images loaded through the proxy system now honor image limits for normal uploads.

Nieuwe emojis hype!

[Duken]

Ja dat is lachen kan je je Whatsapp emoties Gebruiken 

[Duken]

Pfff 4.3 laat lang op zich wachten. Nog veel bugs aanwezig waar het IPB team aan werkt. De beta is 20 maart uitgegeven... een beta ga ik hier niet draaien. We wachten nog eventjes....

[Duken]

4.3 is eindelijk vrijgeven! Update volgt in de loop van deze week. 

[Duken]

Heren,

4.3.1 is zojuist geinstalleerd. Nu even alles nalopen en de puntjes op de i :)

[Duken]

Bij deze upgrade kan het forum trager aanvoelen ivm de heropbouw van de cache en index. ?

[Duken]

Status: 

 Background Processes 21.15%
 Reindexing posts 59.09%
 Cleaning Up Database...

[Rikkert.]

Woehoe nieuwe emojis! ?

[Duken4.3]

Even met een test accountje :P 

;)

:D

[Duken]

Je kunt je nieuwe emojis ook kiezen door te starten met :...

Dus typ : en daarna bijvoorbeeld nederland : flag-nl

test ??

 

[Rikkert.]

?

[Meh Meh]

Geslaagde test, Duken. En we hebben eindelijk een smiley die op mij lijkt. ?

[Duken]

Haha,

Nu nog de server upgrade uitvoeren. Er staat een flinke upgrade van plesk klaar. Doe voeren we van de week uit.

die smilies laden alleen langzaam op mijn telefoon..... Het zijn er teveel. Ook een ticket voor aanmaken bij ipb

[Meh Meh]

Misschien kan je andere of minder smileys instellen voor de responsive versie?  ???
Ik vroeg het al eerder maar heb vergeten wat je reactie was, gebruik je PHP7 al?
En minify en caching extentsies/plugins voor IPB?

De pageload is bij mij redelijk, maar het kan beter voor mobiel.  

[Duken]

Ja ik kan dat niet instellen, dat is binnen IPB gebouwd. Maar ze zullen vast snel met een oplossing komen. De site laadt hier soms ook langzaam (response time).

Ik heb inderdaad PHP7 en minify. caching deels maar nog niet goed. Ik wil het op memory basis. Komt ook in de volgende server update. We hebben het er druk mee ?

[Meh Meh]

Volgens mij biedt je host geen redis cache aan, dat kan ook veel helpen. 
Een optie is om je VPS te upgraden, mits dat het geld waard is.

[Duken]

Nee nu inderdaad niet. Maar ik beheer zelf de vps. Dus mag zelf redis installeren ?️

[Duken]

Eerste stap is uitgevoerd, plesk is bijgewerkt naar onyx . Daar kwamen nog geen problemen uit.

Server health is bijgewerkt. 

Even de server rust geven, morgen de core bijwerken. Als dat is gelukt, PHP 7.2 klaarmaken en activeren op Duken.nl

Maar de geschiedenis leert, 1 ding tegelijk ?

dus nu staat alles er goed voor. En dan wachten we, anders weet ik straks zelf niet meer waar eventuele problemen uitkomen met alle patchwork tegelijk.

[Duken]

4.3 heeft blijkbaar een werkende synchronisatie van profielen... Veel (oude) leden krijgen opeens een profiel foto ?️

[Meh Meh]

De snelheid is een stuk beter dan voorheen. ?

[Duken]

Bedankt mehmeh. Hoe is het gevoel van het browsen, is dat hetzelfde als voorheen? ?

[Meh Meh]

Om eerlijk te zijn neem ik weinig verandering waar.
Over het algemeen laadt de website snel genoeg, ik zit nooit knarsetandend te wachten.  

[Duken]

Dan is het goed, als we maar niet achteruit gaan.

Ik merk soms dat de eerste resolve wat langer duurt sinds we ook op cloudflare zitten. Komt door de security checks. Maar hij voelt bij mij ook lekker vlot aan.

[Meh Meh]

Cloudflare draagt bij aan veiligheid niet aan snelheid.
Minder downtime als een boze zak hooi aan de gang gaat met low orbit ion cannon. ?

[Piraatje]

Vergeten jullie alsjeblieft de VPN verbinding niet? Je internet provider zoals Ziggo of KPN kan door gebruik van de VPN niet zien wat er gebeurd op je internet verbinding en ben je volledig anoniem voor iedereen. Een vereiste tegenwoordig.... We een uitgebreide handleiding geschreven met informatie. 

Deze vindt je hier:   https://www.duken.nl/forums/handleidingen/downloaden/vpn-verbinding-en-anoniem-downloaden-r35/
