Thanks, I will.

@Marc Could this be a v5 bug?

@marc OMG my test install on my local PC has been taking payments duplicating the real payments from my live site. Adding \define( 'NEXUS_TEST_GATEWAYS', TRUE ); to the constants.php file hasn't prevented successful payments from Stripe. I would have never known until a disgruntled member complained and I've found 9 duplicated payments over the last month so far. We need a method to disable subscriptions renewals in test sites. Can someone advise of a fool proof method please.

@Donnie95 Have read through here, it may help to answer some of your concerns.

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 👍

I'd love to explore v5 and provide feedback, if there is room I'd like to join the testing volunteers.

Very nice, I cant wait. Did you miss posting a video about about Data Lists (tables)?

I see the "Get Support" page as one of the frequent checks an Admin makes for a number of reasons, my main reason is for the "System and Error Logs" chart to see if any issues have occurred. So watching out for Patches happens as part of my routine. I've never seen anything on the "Known Issues" section of that page, is it used at all?
