It maybe to hard todo but here goes, On my site I have pages setup with a RSVP, Guests can fill in the RSVP, Could I some how make it so it creates or sends them after the submit it to the register page? or some how setup a account?

I've used the "Redirect to another page" Action, and done that to a Manual config to URL (index.php?/login/ - That works fine, but soon as you login it shows the database (RSVP area) unfilled in, So it looks like it didn't work and they end up doing it again?

Because the login redirects back to the last page that the user was on. When you enter your redirect url, add a "ref=" parameter to indicate which page should be redirected to once logged in.

Thanks for the very quick reply!,  sorry maybe because it's late but where to put the "ref=" ? - How could you get the login to take u back to another page? 

[Kevin Carwile]

Add it on the url.

@Lukeroge,

Run some tests on the most recent version of Rules and get back to me.

I'll give it a go later and see how the speed is now.

[tzrtim]

Add it on the url.

http://www.yoursite.com/login/?ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yoursite.com

 

It sort of stops the login from refreshing and working by having the above line (i can show you the url for u to see)

I'm trying to setup a rule to do the following:
- Send members that follow a bug report a notification, when original report content is edited.

I have everything in place, but it doesn't seem my 'action' is sticking. Whenever I go back to edit it again, the fields are clean again, and I must re-enter all the data. I found this out because I get the "Operation skipped (missing argument) No argument available for: recipients" when I clearly have recipients stored.

I'm currently just evaluating the lite version, and will probably purchase if we can get this resolved.

@d2dyno, it sounds like maybe something in your server config may be blocking submitted form data. Lets connect via PM for case specific support.

Thank you @Kevin Carwile your customer service is fantastic. You go beyond expectations and we appreciate it.

I'm going to have to check out your service packs to see if you have one that sends out happy birthday emails

Whenever I run the IPS support tool, it prompts me about an error in the database, and to run this command:

ALTER TABLE `IPB_rules_arguments` CHANGE COLUMN `argument_custom_action_id` `argument_custom_action_id` INT (11) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 COMMENT '';

same here

Whenever I run the IPS support tool, it prompts me about an error in the database...

I think the error is with the support tool. It constantly says there are problems with database tables that have no problems. If you run the command, does the support tool stop complaining?

[Chris Bell]

only for the session, once you check again it will complain again

Still a pretty massive speed impact on the latest release, sadly :/

It is an IPS4 bug or rather a couple bugs. They are submitted to IPS and hopefully they will get it fixed soon. We had to disable our collab as well as rules until IPS fixes their bugs.

The slowdown hurt our forums we were trying to pump back up.

Hi

Do you think rules can help with this.  If someone reports a post/image (or whatever) I would like that post to be hidden immediately until mods or admin can check it out. If so how can this be done?

Thanks

Hi

Just writing to let you know that notifications__rules_notification is not translatable.

Only notifications__rules_Notification is translatable.

Hi Kevin,

More hard coded strings for your references.

OK re engage member email perfect tried editing for staff so if staff go inactive forbset amount of time they get a email and moved to inactive group jkw would I create a rulento cancel thatbscheduled eventbif they are moved to member group

[Pinto]

There isn't a option for create member notification so if record in a certiN category is approved or unhidden it send them (followers of category) a notification

You could do that. Just make sure to use a scheduling keyphrase when you schedule the action so that it can be deleted.

You can create the notification no problem when a record is approved or unhidden, but in order to get a list of members that are following the container that the record is in, then it would require a custom bit of php code as the argument source to retrieve that list of members.

Okay, so I have a very simple use case of Automation Rules: I'd like to send notifications, status updates, and emails whenever a member achieves a new rank or reputation for community re-engagement.  Will I need to create my own "rank" and "reputation" system within Automation Rules, or is there a way to base my data upon the ACP ranks and reputation that I've defined?  

I can see how the reputation event is based upon a member receiving a new reputation, but I don't see how I can trigger the condition of meeting the next reputation level.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
