What's New in Version 1.0.1:

• Fix error when adding a new forum.

Hi, I interest in purchase this application, I have some ideas need to be confirmed. 

1. Can add place option? Example, by 10 days, first place of pin list 15.00, second place of pin list 10.00, third place of pin list 5.00 etc. 

2. When purchase for pin topic, I suppose buyer is who started the topic, is possible after purchase, give some moderation actions automatically to the owner of the topic?

Actions:

A. The owner can set the topic not available for reply, because they only use the topic for publication of products purpose, obviously can set yes too. If someone pay for this topic, obviously should let him block others members use the same topic as advertising purposes. Right point? 

B. The owner can set all replies by default hidden and need unhide action if want public some posts. This feature convert the topic at the same time as support purpose. Good point? 

IF the owner have the Moderation permission, because he bought it, he can use the same topic for same purpose all the time, and can buy pin service all the time, he don't need open a new topic. 

If we uninstall the app and reinstall it, will we lose purchase history on member accounts? We're still having the issue where expired invoices do not force the button to reappear within topics, so we're resorting to just doing a fresh install at this point. We've lost a lot of revenue from this in the last 3 months.

 

If we uninstall the app and reinstall it, will we lose purchase history on member accounts?

No.

@ahc Wait!

You mean purchase on MARKETPLACE or topics pinned via this app?

No.

Thanks, but when I try to uninstall it, I receive this error.

 

If you mean TOPICS PINNED, of course you need to make a backup of the table of this app.

No, I meant if we view the purchase history of a member on our site, will it still show when they purchased pins in the past? We currently only have 3 topics pinned which I will manually re-pin myself. Unless I go in and manually change the expired invoices to cancelled, people can't pin their topics (most of our members keep the same topic for a long time and just re-pin it multiple times) and I don't really have the time to do that, which is why I'm resorting to this option.

I haven't uninstalled it yet per the error above.

Oh yes, it will. On \IPS\Application:

		...
		\IPS\Db::i()->delete( 'core_member_history', array( 'log_app=?', $this->directory ) );
		...

If you want to keep these records, I suggest you to comment this line, uninstall the app and then revert the file edit after/before reinstall. This, of course, if you have access to FTP in your server.

Let me know if you want more detailed info. I can send a message.

I currently don't. I've been waiting over a month to regain access with no response with my server host since my old credentials are no longer working. If we can't keep the records, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

However, the app is no longer working after attempting to uninstall it and it failing.

 

Thanks, but when I try to uninstall it, I receive this error.

Any way to get around this would be appreciated. I'm still unable to uninstall.

 

I have no idea what happened there. Uninstall is a Core method.

Did you check the logs? Anything related to this app?

If not, delete its folder from /applications, its tables and its record from core_applications and rebuild the cache.

Send a message if you want me to do it Monday morning. 

I think I can save you the trouble and do this myself if you can expand on "rebuild the cache" a little bit more. I know where to find the folder, tables, and records within the core_applications table.

 

ACP -> System -> Support->Clear system caches.

Ah, that's what I thought, but wanted to make sure. Let me try this and I'll check back in.

Everything seems to be a-ok. Hoping this resolves the expired invoice issue we were having before. Thanks for the help. 🙂
