Strange this, why do product descriptions for some members have a hashed value added after renewal? The same product renewed for most members don't...

No, I meant the query within the post. It seems to be missing something after the dots.

Out of curiosity I ran the query form above after adjusting the table prefix, it fails to run in both MySQL and MariaDB with this same error. Is not having the * valid in the Select statement? Should it be "SELECT forums_posts.*, author.*, author_pfields.*" instead? Once adjusted it runs fine.

Great that v4.7.19 has now added the message-id. However, testing the emails with https://www.mail-tester.com/ it reports the following error "1.2 INVALID_MSGID Message-Id is not valid, according to RFC 2822". After some research it seems the generated id plus url should be surrounded with angled brackets as the image attached. I modified the file "Smtp.php" found in ../system/Email/Outgoing to add these angled brackets and it no longer reported the issue. Additionally, I'd like to be able to change the url. Its not good practice to use your companies main domain for emailing newsletters as there is a high chance of it be reported for spamming. We use a secondary domain which is not our website domain for this very reason. It would great to see an option for this be added to with the Email Settings.

Thats brilliant, so in case of Stripe any payment would fail. Maybe one day I will be brave enough to try that out 😉 Thanks Marc

Oh, adding the NEXUS_TEST_GATEWAYS constant does more than just allow us to add test payment method. Does it actually disable the existing payment methods in some way?

Ok, got you on adding those constants. Is there a chance that the renewal task will run before you have changed all the products over to use the test gateway?

@Marc Would you have any recommenations on how to prevent automatic emails and purchase renewals happening while you are setting up the test site?

Could those reoccuring cost tasks be disabled on a test site?

You can also add the following to a constants.php file which will give you a new test payment gateway. Then swap your products/subscriptions over to use this instead. \define( 'NEXUS_TEST_GATEWAYS', true ); As Mike said I too would love a method to enable/disable the payment methods.

I updated a copy of our live site (v4.7.18) and ran into this issue, just had to remove the one file above and we are running. Thanks @BN_IT_Support Of course all addon applications where disabled and the theme needs resetting as expected and recommended changing php to an 8.2 version but that was really a painless upgrade for the first beta. Well done to the Invision Community Team 👍

Oh, hang on I got lost. Both the Ranks and Badges lost their dates when it was rebuilt in Apr 2023. So all the dates were changed then which is a pity 😞 However, there seems to be a bug. In ACP it claims the badges where manually awarded but in my case they were all Via Rules. Can you check on here if you are seeing the same?

Yes we do, they are listed here as explained above. These were not manually awarded that looks like a bug as they list under the Via Rules tab and not Via Manual Adjustment tab.

Yes, that is what I am experiencing but why display the rebuilt date when you have the original date the Rank was awarded as it serves no purpose to the member?
