IPS Rules Application

Featured Replies

@Kevin Carwile

I have sent you a private message and have yet to receive a response:

  • Rules completely breaks the RESTful API when it is installed.
  • Rules based on reputation are NOT triggered by reactions, and no such trigger exists for reactions.

Please rectify.

    Perhaps it's time to open source the code and throw it up on Github for others to help maintain going forward?

    You, me or even IPS can’t take ownership of other people's work. IPS is doing the only thing they can do: forbid the download and new purchases to try to minimize the damage for others.  If this

  • Hi @Kevin Carwile, I just downloaded and installed the IPS Rules Lite and actually see the functionality behind IPS Rules.  Some immediate feedback: 1) You have, hands-down, the cleanest and most educ

Another question.

Would like to bulk-process all topic comments to calculate some data fields to back-date some awards.

I need it to:

  • Evaluate all posts made on the forums
  • IF post is in X, Y, Z forum
  • Increment CustomDataField count +1

Sounds simple in theory, except there's no Topic\Comment object available to bulk process. Content\Comment doesn't seem to allow bulk processing in manual scheduling. I can bulk process Topic\Item, but how do I drill down into each Topic\Comment contained within to count them?

Tearing my hair out with this one haha.

You will need to bulk process the topic items, and in your custom action rule, you will likely need to use some custom php code in order to do whatever calculations you need based on the topic being processed.

Awesome. How would I instruct it to look through every comment and identify the authors per comment?

What I want to do is for posts in particular forums to be worth a particular point value, which is easy to do going forward using Topic Comment Posted/Check for Forums/Increment custom data field. It's getting the posts up until now to count that I'm going to have trouble with.

Say if Forum A allocates 2 points per post, and Forum B allocates 1, a topic in Forum A where Member X posts 5 times would allocate 10 points to the custom data field.

For that, you will need to bulk process all topics on the site. Your custom action will accept an individual topic as an argument. Your rules for that custom action will have the conditions you just described. If topic is in Forum A, add two points. If topic is in Forum B, add 1 point.

I understand that, but I don't want it to count only topics, I want it to count the posts within the topics... or does bulk processing Topics already iterate through the individual posts?

  • Author

Well, bulk processing topics is as close as rules core will get you. Anything further will require you to write custom php code in your processing rules.

That's what I'm asking: how would I structure that PHP code?

Hi @Kevin Carwile

I wanted to let you know that I use Automation Rules app, and would appreciate an upgrade to 4.4 when it becomes officially available. 

  • 3 weeks later...

Hey there! Just curious as to whether this is compatible with 4.4, as it's not available for download on the Marketplace?

love this app but i have been advised to disable it by IPB Support as it breaks alot of IPB Features

one being status updates

This says it is compatible with 4.4. Same for Lite.

Hey there

Trying to update to 1.4.6 Full, to fix the status updates issue. But file is not available for purchase in marketplace? Is there somewhere else I should be getting it, @Kevin Carwile?

Waiting to purchase it as well.  We've been using the Lite version and we've hit our max rule limit, so we'd like to upgrade to the full version, but it hasn't been available for a while.

I can't upgrade it either. Did IPS disable the app? It shows that Kevin is online but he hasn't made any posts lately Is he unable to reply to us here? I want to purchase.

Hi @Kevin Carwile! The Custom Data for Albums is broken, doesn't display in public or admin mode. It's set as:

But doesn't display when editing an album:

Unless I'm doing something wrong?

Is the entire rules series abandoned now?  No developer response in 5 months.

The last reply i got from him was June 16th when asking where to buy the rules from since you cant purchase them from here anymore.

@Kevin Carwile can you please let us know if you have any plans to maintain this plugin? It's very useful.
