GoAncestry Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 yes, I used them extensively. Random images, rotating one at a time. Selectors/Filters from article tags I implemented to add variety, maybe sue TAGS as selectors? Random selectors for topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h-y-b-r-i-d Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Any updates on this guys? It's been nearly a year since it was brought up and as far as I can tell, as a heavy user of pages I cant build anything remotely custom as I cannot tweak the blocks to show unique content. I dont want to show the same info everywhere. And as Matt asked what we need specifically. I need to: Filter by category. Self explanatory. Filter by field. For example a DB can have a select box field, each record can be tied to one value. Id like to show based on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Lindy Posted January 21, 2016 Management Share Posted January 21, 2016 We have many of these in the pipeline - I know it's been too long and I apologize. They are coming soon, I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheersnGears Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Just to beat this old drum. I'd really like to have the Offset filter back. I use it extensively to build blocks that pull from different categories and avoid picking up things that are currently Top Stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Lindy Posted June 13, 2016 Management Share Posted June 13, 2016 The next release contains a Pages sweep. I'll have to get a list of specific filters added, but when I sent it in, it included your previous list, @CheersnGears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheersnGears Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thank you. My previous list in this thread was "all of them", so that should just about cover it. I'm kidding, I think it was a different thread or PM where I listed out the ones I was looking for and the reasons I needed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did first say "all of them" - you listed some in the client lounge topic though that I passed along. I'll find out what made the cut and preempt that by saying we can certainly look at more later as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiwa Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yay! More filtering for pages custom blocks! Hopefully I won't have to do this anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of the last time I had a working 4.1 test install, Offset was the only filter I was really still missing just to get back to where I am on 3.4. I can see a need in the near future for custom filters based on custom fields being needed too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Riggs Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 @Lindy Have an eta to these pages improvements? Also anything else coming with it other than filter options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPCommerceFan Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Random Sort is a key element of one of our most popular feed blocks. Hoping it at least comes in 4.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoAncestry Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Me four; Random and other sort on criteria, such as TAGS? The closer it gets to allowing flexibility and unique PAGE content the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey_M Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I really hate it when there's something introduced that provides you with a function and flexibility, then the next release it's filtered down (possibly because it loses focus or priority due to bigger features). It's understandable, though it happens virtually with every release. 4.0 surprised my expectations but it was very buggy, 4.1 fixed that. I'm hoping that IPS returns the filters and makes improvements, as there are ways filters could be tweaked to offer greater control. At the top of my site I have features showing, however I have to have the category and I can't seem to mix between settings so that it pulls articles from others - from certain specifications. I don't want this to be taken the wrong way, I love how IPS is evolving and giving us some great features and 4.2 will be awesome but we pay for custom work and the loss of certain functions are really a major fallback.

I would settle for something like "we will not do anything about it" Sometimes things are more complex than you can easily assume on forums such as these. This site is not necessarily the hub of major IPS clients as this line of questioning implies. Also, comments like this: 2 hours ago, Heosforo said: Maybe it's no longer one of their interest$ Aren't exactly endearing. When you resort to that, as a customer (and not even close to representing the majority), the professional thing to do is not reply. I am comforted by the fact that IPS do not feel the need to respond just because you said something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heosforo Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 @Simon Woods Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude or anything like that. I have been trying to receive an answer and I have been waiting for a long time for these options. I do not use forums, only IP.Pages, I loved it and that's why I decided to use IP.Content, for those options. But now they're gone, why? Is it so difficult to get a response? You probably use forums, everything is fine there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Woods Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I use the whole suite. And nobody is owed a reply on these forums... I mean, as far as I know there's nothing in the terms and conditions of the software that says IPS must reply to topics on these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heosforo Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 @Simon Woods I'm just asking, because I pay for something I no longer have. Would you let me try to get an answer at least? Because that's what this thread is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
