Concerning translations and branding:

There are several phrases not translatable:

• "purchases" in main member shop
• "buy" in main member shop
• "You have X points" on top of all member shop pages
• The content title "rewards & logs" in rewards & logs

And how can I remove the branding "Members Shop by IPSdev"?

One refinement:

I'm using Exo X Points and I would like "steal member reputation" to become "steal member points" (or as a secondary option)

Other ideas / requests for your member shop are:

• Downloads handling: I have free and paid downloads. While paid downloads can only be purchased with money, it would be great if you could only download / "buy" free download files with points. Maybe this could be realized with purchased "free downloads credits" in the member store
• Ghost mode: Let users buy with points to switch to "anonymous / hidden" in the community for a specified time, f.e. 24 hours or a month... During that time, members can toggle their visibility. All other members shouldn't be allowed to login anonymously or toggle their visibility.
• Allowed to use whole apps for a specified time, f.e. babble chat (in my case). To prevent people from only chatting and generating temporary/no content, let them exchange points for being able to use special apps like a chat. (as long as they are not in a VIP group that should be always allowed)
• Temporary VIP group promotion for a specified time. I want to setup a special VIP group, and if members pay with points, they should be promoted (secondary group promotion) for 24 hours or a month, afterwards demoted automatically (secondary group removal).
• Have a daily member featuring widget or a featured member bar: Members wish to promote themselves (their member profiles or member shops). Let members feature themselves to the community. It's like a special advertisement and similar to the former request to have a "daily featured thread"
• Exchange points for a raffle participation. It would be great to see such a feature with Adrianos Raffles app
• Allow creating an advert in a classifieds apps: Classifieds system in my case. This is a community "points payment" version. If you don't have enough points to buy an advert in the members shop, members can't create adverts. This way you keep the balance between community contents creation and adverts to sell commerce stuff. New members or competitors won't be able to spam adverts without taking part in the community life.

Transaction fee is for the selling not for the advert creation.

I understand. Is there any option to get a fixed price for creating adverts? I'm just a bit scared, that my members create adverts for free, then they email with each other and close deals externally, then the seller closes the advert or sets it to pending until timeout, and the community earns nothing... Is this situation handled in any way?

PM and Email doesn't show any personal information, "Other" is a text field and this is always visible.

If you want to hide this field you need a custom work.

Is this a heavy coding operation? I mean just hiding a field on the frontend could be a one-line template edit and a simple setting in the app backend, or?

Hi,

I'm interested in purchasing this app, but have several presales questions:

1. My members need to accept special terms & conditions before submitting/saving new adverts. This action is required by law. Is there an option so I can add a checkbox (which has to be checked by the member) with text / linked page with terms & conditions above the "save advert" button?
2. I have a community which requires my members to operate completely anonymous. It's forbidden to enter their real names / websites / mobile numbers viewable to the public. For my policies, it's important that I can hide the field "Contact details - Other". My members may not enter data in there, or at least, it should be only viewable for a purchaser after a completed purchase. On the demo site (sosinv...) if I open an "expired test advert" and then click on "Contact Advertiser" it shows me a mobile number. This may not be.
3. As a follow-up to 2.: I might also require to turn off the "Contact details - Email" option completely, so my members can't use email contact or at least can only email a seller after a completed purchase. I don't want them to be emailed before. Possible? 
4. I just checked the demo and discovered that I can edit my new adverts. But if I had to pay a fee for the advert creation (paid package with percentage commission) I shouldn't be able to change the price. Otherwise each seller would "buy a 1$ advert" and change after checkout to "1000$". Please confirm that there is a restriction.

Thanks.

Question:

In the account settings, I can hide awards. But it hides them everywhere, because there is only 1 setting...

What I want to realize is:

• Member can hide awards separately from showing (1) in the member profile tab (2) on post bit below avatar (3) below posts/signature
• F.e. I want my members to choose themselves their 3 most important awards to show below the avatar (maximum display restriction = 3), so they can individually decide what are the 3 most worthy awards for them. But in their member profile tab all awards should be shown.
• How can I setup this requirement? Thanks.

I discovered a bug:

If you have an existing award, and f.e. 10 members have already been awarded with this award, and you try to copy this award to create a new one, then...

Result: You get a copy of this award, BUT the awarded counter in the category overview shows "10" (which should be 0) for the new copied award. If you click on "10" to open a list of the awarded, no one is shown (=correct again), BUT there is no option to delete/null the copied awarded counter number.

Hi @Fosters,

It seems like this application is triggering a " There are some problems with your database " error under the support feature.

This is what I get when I click on "Fix This"

There are some problems with your database. Normally it is safe to try to fix these problems automatically however if your community is large, you may want to run the necessary queries manually. If so, the queries to run are:

ALTER TABLE `core_groups` CHANGE COLUMN `pm_assign_items` `pm_assign_items` TINYINT (1) NULL DEFAULT 1 

ALTER TABLE `core_groups` CHANGE COLUMN `pm_act_as_pm` `pm_act_as_pm` TINYINT (1) NULL DEFAULT 0 

ALTER TABLE `core_groups` CHANGE COLUMN `pm_act_as_pm` `pm_act_as_pm` TINYINT (1) NOT NULL 

ALTER TABLE `core_groups` CHANGE COLUMN `pm_assign_items` `pm_assign_items` TINYINT (1) NOT NULL 

 

I'm also getting this error message and it wasn't fixable by the support tool ("repair this").

Currently I have bad problems with the latest IPS update also (I'm down), also due to another application.

Could you please state about the database problem mentioned above if this was investigated. Thanks.

It has a code for each slider, you can add the code into your template instead of using widget.

Thanks, so I understand, that it is possible to fit sliders into the sidebar and there won't be any (empty / distance) spaces to the left & right margin of the sidebar container. And a "widget title bar" can be inserted, that looks like the others, by creating a custom template.

• Where can I see these slider codes, how to obtain them? How do they look like?
• Has anybody integrated these slider codes in templates before? Is it difficult? Anyone has examples?

2 questions:

1. I want to place a vertically scrolling slider in the sidebar. Is it possible to make the slider dimensions exactly the same width than the widget title bars? I'm asking because I don't want to waste free space. The slider should just fit in from left to right (maximum!), and the horizontal borders of the slides is the left start and right end of the other widget title bars in the sidebar...
    
2. Is it possible to have a usual "widget title bar" for the slider in the sidebar, like in other plugins. Currently the slider title is displayed like the application modules, f.e. "forums" without a background behind the title. It would be great to have this option, so it better integrates into the sidebar between the other widgets.

Did you read the Manual.pdf as requested in file description? You probably used the old version. 

Leave a PM with ACP access. I’ll take a look tomorrow (if I’m able to) or monday morning. 

I read it, but it is a new installation and I had no previous version before, not even on 2.x or 3.x....

Monday is absolutely fine, I'll send you the ACP data then, if my investigations will be unsuccessful. Thanks and enjoy the weekend!  

On a new location, I tried to newly install raffles.

But I got an error message:

1. you have no permissions to do this.... any database column already exists... (unfortunately didn't remember the name, but had raffles in it...)

Thats impossible! I never used raffles before on this installation... Never ever.

The app didn't install completely, so now I have an entry _app_raffles.... in ACP -> Applications

After that I tried to just "update" the uncomplete version with the same version again.

2. And there is the next error message:

'raffle_description_brief'; check that column/key exists

I've done nothing wrong But anything is wrong.

What should I do next?

You got a(nother) like from me for bumping this! 

Thank you. It's important and didn't get enough attention so far!

Thanks for this useful application @Fosters but is it supposed to send out inactive emails more than once? I’ve set it to 7 days and it’s since sent out the email twice in 12 hours to the same people. Is this a bug with the log or is it actually emailing twice? I don’t want to spam peoples’ inboxes. 

It doesn't sendout multiple times though showing as if: the logs still don't work properly. Already told me to investigate after ACP access.

I have a private community, "on invitation only".

Is there a chance that the advanced footer and its contents inside only display for registered, validated, logged in members or even only for defined member groups?

Non-registered visitors shouldn't see f.e. the connected facebook account, so that they won't be able to identify the community from the outside. And google wouldn't index personal informations like email addresses, phone numbers...

I will add that option in next version very soon as someone else also asked for here  

Hi, does it already have a setting for the display limit for member groups? I want to exclude guests...

Other question:

I can insert a facebook "widget" in advanced footer to my FB profile, which has an "active like" button on it. Is there any chance, that the like button could act conform to data privacy rules, f.e. the Shariff solution: https://github.com/heiseonline/shariff

In short: the mentioned solution prevents facebook from tracking members site visits (usually, facebook tracks everything by default if you insert a facebook widget on your page).

Probably it will require a stand-alone plugin for Facebook, but maybe it's easy to do it with advanced footer.

Great, the navigation menu is showing now again. 

But it didn't solve the "parsing problem".

Here is a description:

Quote

Secondary Groups parsing doesn't work for me either, member lists pro 1.1.3, IPS 4.2.5

Facts:

• I have user A who is in primary group Z (and other secondary groups)
• I have user B who is in secondary group Z (but other primary group)

-> I want to show a member list with ALL MEMBERS IN GROUP Z, so I configure:

• show primary group = Z
• show secondary group = Z

I observe the following behaviour:

The member list only shows the primary group, Z, so only user A is shown.
The secondary groups are not parsed, so user B isn't shown. (<- this is the error!)

 

IMPORTANT!

But I did an experiment and deactivated show "primary group = Z" for testing purposes, while "show secondary group = Z" is still active.

Result: Now it shows user B, who belongs to the secondary group Z! So secondary groups are parsed, if parsing primary groups is deactivated.

 

There must be an error!

Ok, was only wondering about the "automation" term. Now I know: "create an automated system that constantly engages the users" states that a very important automation part is myself to clickstart each sendout process

New Members - ... members who joined in the last day, and provide a series of educational tips to introduce them to your community...

Please consider this: if I want to notify "new members who joined in the last day", I will have to manually click "send" daily. And if there is a series of multiple notifications for new members, I have to click multiple times daily. This will require a very good discipline!

As an idea for a future update: it would be great if we could schedule the sendout trigger (f.e. daily or once per week on wednesdays 09:00 AM). 

Thanks for building this awesome application! It will be an important part in my engagement strategy.

In addition: I've setup a test rule to send a notification to

• admin group
• user account created more than 1 days ago
• notification is active

I didn't click on "send" as it should be automated as I understand it. (if I create another test rule, f.e. more than 3 days, and click send, I directly get the notification)

My admin account has been registered 100 days ago. But I don't receive any (automatic) notification for the 1 days test rule... 

When will notifications take place? And on what incidents? Do I need to create a new post to trigger them?

You can set up an automated system of notifications that trigger when certain criteria is met

I understand it like this: If I create a custom notification with "send to all members if content count > 100", then it will directly send out to all members that have more than 100 content count. Right? Or is it a delayed sendout?

• Do I have to click on "send" or will the notification be sent automatically via a task as soon as the criteria is matched?
• In the example above: How often will the notification be sent in the future? On 101 contents, on 102 contents a.s.o.? Every each new content count a notification will automatically be sent to the member without my participation? Or will all notifications only be sent out once for each member and then never again?
• Is there anything like "repeating custom notifications"? F.e. in time intervals...?

Inactive Members - Filter for members who last visited over 90 days ago and send them a custom notification to bring them back!  

How is this achieved? As far as I know, you can't email inactive members with "custom notifications". Can I? If not, I don't understand how a notification could inform inactive members if they are not logged in.

Does this support award overlap?

Lets say i award for 100 posts, and then i also award for 500 posts.
Will the latest award overwrite the first one?

The answer was 9 posts above your question...  

You require iAwards, Automation Rules, and an according rule for this.

You can create a rule by yourself or buy the one here:

Is there an option to display collaboration groups in a category similar to clubs?

I like the grid display view (realized in clubs) and it would be of advantage to already show "collaboration groups/club header/cover images" in the overview, as well as important members (admins, mods, contributors with highest amount of contents)

Requested:

• grid/tile overview with header/cover images in group collaboration
• show most important or most liked members with avatar preview in a row
• show an introduction text (short version) on the tile

No ideas! 

But I would like to inspire the author to integrate these features for a coming update please:

• exact sorting of individual awards by users choice (on frontend)
  -> not by date they were received a.s.o., but by user's choice. Users should have complete control, which awards are displayed and also the exact order in row 1, 2, 3...
   
• sorted display by category (on frontend)
  -> maybe in a separate container, but even more important is, that awards from different categories won't get mixed up
  -> This way: CAT A, B, C, D or A, A, B, C, C, C, D
  -> Not this way: CAT B, A, D, A, C...
  
  My awards are colored by category (A = red, B = black background) and it would look a lot better, if identically colored awards are placed next to each other.
   
• usage of both display containers
  -> show important categories/awards in member post bit below avatar, less important ones below the signature.

Maybe this CiC problem is also related to the secondary group parsing problem I reported before. (but I require to recheck as soon as lists work again on latest versions)

Thanks.

It's a CiC cloud installation. Permissions are correct.

On IPS 4.2.3 I still had an older installation of member lists (release 2 months ago, v.1.0.9 or similar) - though the lists entries weren't aligned nicely - but it worked and all lists were shown.

After the update to IPS 4.2.4, I also updated the plugin to the latest version. After that, the member lists navigation menu entry + links for all lists don't work anymore.

Will send you a PM concerning site access the next days.

I had upgraded my site to 4.2.2 from 4.1.9 and after I updated the plugin version, the menu item disappeared. It still showed in the menu manager though.

On latest IPS release: Just upgraded member lists to 1.1.2. Same problem occurred on my site. No menu, no links. Please fix. Thanks.

At first - directly after the upgrade - it worked once, but shortly afterwards (after switching to another member list), menu is dead, even the link used before doesn't work any more.
