Joel R Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'd like to suggest the following two functions as integration among the apps, so admins have at least some sort of barebone cross-functionality: PROMOTE: The same promote as in IPB 3, where you cross-promote a post's content from one app to another app (IP.Blogs, IP.Pages, IP.Board). For example: you promote a post in IP.Board to an article in IP.Pages. SWEEP: Where you aggregate and sweep a post's image attachments or file attachments to IP.Gallery or IP.Downloads, respectively. For example: you sweep the image attachments from a post in IP.Board to an album in IP.Gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentT Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I like both these recommendations. I have several forum topics that would make excellent blog entries, for example. Promoting a topic to an Article is the more common use -- and I have need for that one also. To expand on the second recommendation, I'd like to be able to sweep the pictures in an Article, and create a corresponding Gallery and slideshow.

Joel R Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'd like to bump my post because I need this feature. Lots of other people need this feature. This feature was in IPB v3. This feature is expected in IPS v4. And while my above reasoning for these features are utterly sound and compelling (especially in bullet point format), there's also: My topic is the only one that addresses larger suite-wide integration of non-textual content like attachments, images, or files. Cross-publishing content across apps can be a powerful method to display content in a better medium. And lastly, I've given you two catchy names (admittedly, IPS did come up with "promote" on their own), which will make for a great news article by Charles.

Management Lindy Posted October 23, 2016 Management Share Posted October 23, 2016 Which feature specifically are you looking for sooner than later? Cross app promotion is something that will likely happen with an engagement release such as 4.2. I'm working on getting promoting topic to article done soon, however.

If IPS does this correctly, they should offer cross-promotion from any app's content to another app (IP.Blog -> IP.Board; Status Updates -> to IP.Pages; whatever combination you want).

Simon Woods Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 This would genuinely contribute to IPS going toe-to-toe with the likes of WordPress as a website builder. Content in the Suite should be inter-connected, it's a basic assumption to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Allione Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 @Lindy (or anyone who can answer): If we just copy-pasted forum posts into blogs, how similar would that effect be to promoting a forum post into a blog with blog integration? I ask because I'm torn between waiting for the feature and just doing it manually. I do not mind the extra manual work, however I don't want somehow to be missing something critical and bloggy with the cut/paste method. Thanks. Serious question by the way.

Joel R Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'm not Lindy (although I wish I was as amaaaazing as him ) but I would encourage you to keep doing what you're doing until IPS provides a definitive update or release on this suggestion. For example, they may only implement a promote Forum post to Pages article, and exclude Blogs from the feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Allione Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Yes indeed, I remember literally waiting 3-4 years for 4.0 to come out in the first place and planning my life around that. Not complaining, but literally that's what happened and I waited a few more years longer than I expected. By then I had a different career entirely and the plans needed to change. But just using logic and common sense, I imagine nothing would really be lost or missing, especially since 4.x has such a solid text editor (which is part of why I was waiting so long). It's just kind of funny to walk up to my forum finally and get started only to see that I'm still "waiting for 4.0". However, I'm glad that doing a good job is important to them rather than use artificial deadlines where they release ready or not. I do worry about inconsistencies though, if promoted blog posts come out in a significantly different format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It no longer keeps the comments from a database/forum thread if you use "Copy to Database". It makes the copied thread it's own separate article with it's own separate comments. And if you've set the article category to make a new thread, it then creates what is a "duplicate" forum thread. In 3x you could make a database entry, create a forum topic, then promote the forum topic into an article, and it would all be the same set of comments no matter where it was being viewed or commented on.

Is there any update on this feature? It's extremely frustrating that there is no longer full linked compatibility from database to forum to news article. It makes my site look empty when frontpage articles no longer have any comments compared to previous versions where 100's of comments could be seen on the frontpage, in the forum or on a database entry.
