Square Wheels Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Thanks I tried to update, I was 1 version behind and got an error, so I uninstalled and tried to upload the current version and got this: 1C133/9 The application you uploaded cannot be installed because it is not a valid application, the archive is corrupt or the file and directory permissions in /applications do not allow it. Is that me, or the app? I've had issues with a couple of apps, and others that have been fine. Link to comment

That error code seems to suggest an issue with the PHP Phar extension. You might want to check with your host that it supports it. Otherwise you need to manually upload the application files to the "applications" folder and install it through the acp. Let me know if you need further help with that. Link to comment

Durango Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi @Mike John I had the same error after i upgraded to 4.2 and then upgraded my videos app So i chose the transfer files method and it worked but the problem is all videos are now posted by "guest" !! it removed the previous members who posted, so no video is actually online : i can see them as an admin but they are all "to be approved" as all posted by "guest" What can i do ? tx !!

If I could get a few things clarified: What version of the application did you upgrade from? Could you check the videos_videos database table and take a screenshot of the fields and several lines of data for me? There shouldn't be any "delete" query in the upgrade files for member ids. But it sounds like the field for the member id wasn't renamed properly, if that's the case the data should still be there but just in a different field name. Link to comment
ahc Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 @Mike John Hey there, I'm not sure if it's due to the recent updates/patches, but the application isn't working on our website. It's not sending emails, private messages, or creating a post in the assigned thread given in settings. I've done the usual: Cache clear, check to see if anything was conflicting with it to the best of my knowledge of the other applications and plugins we have, etc. I'll stick screenshots of my current settings down below in case this is user error, and if it is, I apologize.General Settings: Link to comment

It's not sending emails, private messages, or creating a post in the assigned thread given in settings. What do you currently use to run your tasks? A cron job or using web traffic? If you run the task manually, does it send anything out. (ACP > System tab > Advanced Configuration > View Tasks link > Run "Birthday Greeter" task.) Link to comment
ahc Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) @Mike John I currently use web traffic. I also want to correct what I said before. It seems the PMs and Emails are in fact working as they should without issue (miscommunication on our part), so our only issue was actually getting the post to show up in the assigned topic, and show up correctly. When I run the task manually, it posts in the assigned topic 3 times in a row, and it doesn't show the members even though I have {birthday_list} in the Pm settings and 3 user birthdays today. This is the current post setup. And this is what is showing up in the topic: Again, I'm not sure if this is something we're doing wrong on our end, but I appreciate you taking the time to help me sort this out.Edit: He posted about an hour ago and sent 7 posts at once, still no names showing.

I'm sorry I should of noticed this before but missed it. But the "Topic/Post Daily" setting should be enabled if you want to create only 1 topic a day and use the "{birthday_list}" quick tag.

ahc Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 @Mike John No worries! Since everything else was working perfectly, I knew it was probably user error. I apologize for wasting your time and went ahead and toggled it on. Thanks again! Michael.J 1 Link to comment
fvasconcelos Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 In the email message the Smart quick tags are not working. The email that users are receiving: Hello {member_name}, Our records indicate that you just turned {age}. {board_name} would like to wish you a happy birthday. Link to comment

Michael R Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Posting a topic does not seem to work correctly. I thought maybe the new version would correct the issue. But I don't see a difference. Is there something I can check? Link to comment

fvasconcelos Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hello, @Mike John After upgrade, the application send PM and Message to chatbox every 30 minutes for 3 hours. I have cron Job every 5 minutes Any help ? Link to comment
webheaded Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) @Mike John I just set this up a few days ago and today was the first birthday we have had and no topic is created at all nor is a status message sent. The task completes successfully without any errors apparently but nothing actually happens. I've tried running the task manually but still nothing. Changed the time. Nothing. I'm not sure where to start here but nothing is happening at all. On IPS 4.3 right now. Quick question too...what is the inactivity metric measured against? The last login date or last date something was posted? This may not be the best example since this person logged in recently but hasn't posted anything since well after the 90 day cutoff I have set. That could very well be the entire problem but I'm not sure how you are measuring inactivity. Edited June 8, 2018 by webheaded Link to comment
webheaded Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 @Mike John Okay, today we had a definitely active member still not get a birthday topic. No errors in the logs but literally nothing happened. He even shows up in your birthday widget but no greeter post. ? Link to comment
Arni Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Same here. No birthday email send out today. /correction: the email came 24 hours later. Edited June 10, 2018 by Arni Link to comment

If there's no board activity to trigger the task I would recommend running tasks via cron jobs or adjusting your time and time buffer to cover low board activity.
