You'll need to make an account on your forum for Adsense and provide those credentials to Google.

This is a theory, it has never worked, though.

Something

I think this -> 

I have clubs on the website and have noticed that posts in clubs forums do not always increase the number of posts in members' profile. I have investigated in database and have found out that old clubs, created over 10 years ago, have inc_postcount set to 0.

SELECT * FROM `ips_forums_forums` WHERE `inc_postcount` = 0 AND `club_id` IS NOT NULL

Probably there was an issue 10 years ago. 😄 Or there was an “Improved Clubs Enhancements” app, I have used before the upgrade to the latest IPS version. Anyway, I would like to recalculate all posts from all users, and I suspect that posts from these clubs are not counted.

There is no way to set this value for club forums in ACP.

SQL? Is it safe just to update the column with 1 for all clubs? 😬

I can't, we have a protection for this in place.

Oh. I have somehow managed to delete them. I guess I have removed the entire forum (??). I'll try to replicate it again.

I believe I know how to replicate it.

1. Enable Post Topic and Use forum for comments on existing database.
2. Add some comments to the database.
3. Remove created topics and disable Post Topic and Use forum for comments
4. Click on Rebuild synchronized topic content and Rebuild comment count for the database.

I have some databases in Pages. Only one database has the settings enabled to post a topic and use a forum for comments.

Everything works. I have added and deleted some articles to test. Then I clicked on Rebuild synchronized topic content, Rebuild comment counts and Recount posts for ALL members in a member profile in ACP.

Now I have some tasks that are running but cannot be completed:

If I click on manually run them now, I get the error:

Is it a bug or handling error?

We have a "Mention" link. It just scrolls down to the Reply-field and adds the username, formatted as mention. No quote. Just the username.

You could rename it to Reply. 

(It is a pretty simple plugin that was offered in the past on the Marketplace.)

Quote & Reply

Rename it back to Quote. If they do not see a wording “Reply” there, probably they do not use it to reply.

If you do not own it, you can scrape the content. If there is a copyright, it is illegal.

ATM renaming images is optional,

It is not only optional. It is difficult to find for users. Our users upload a single image and then cannot find the field for the caption. They do not understand that they have to upload, then click on the uploaded image, then fill the caption, then submit. I would prefer a simple GUI for single upload, where the user is forced to give caption AND description for the image.

We are going to pause our gallery with 39,000 images and 350,000 comments because of this problem. Indeed, images cannot be found, moderators are tired of editing the captions and descriptions.

I hope there will be a better solution in v5.

Hi, can you please resend the ticket email for this as well? I still have one forum (ID:28) that has this issue. 

Thank you! They have ContentRouter extension, but no extension.json in data. That's it.

I have two custom applications, that have been developed about 15 years ago. They run on the latest IPS without issues. However, both applications do not count their submissions towards posts (1) and do not have a section in All activity on profile (2).

To illustrate what I mean, I have marked the areas on my profile here.

The entries of both applications extend \IPS\Content\Item. My questions are:

1. What should I do to count the entries from these applications to increase posts number?
2. What should I do to show the sections of these applications in the All Activity list in member's profile?

The email in your account is indeed what is used, and would come from support @ invisionpower.com 

Sorry for misusing this. I have not got any emails due to "something strange going on my mail server". I have changed my email today here on IPS. But as I have not get previous emails, I cannot answer the tickets. 😊

This is a screenshot from my test server:

I have started the process yesterday and I assume it will be ready for testing in some months. 

Can I stop this process somehow once it is running? It is a test server, I do not care whether the rebuilding is finished or not. I just need to see the points, ranks, and badges within the community to customize them.

My vote for Nimbus. Cannot live without anymore.

You should have gotten an email after it was created and once staff replied 

No. I have to investigate further:

1. Do you use my email saved in my account?
2. What is the sender email for the ticket?

Please add anything further into the ticket created for you, rather than in here 🙂 

I do not know where to find the tickets. 

I would like to suggest two new actions for Achievements based on two settings in ACP:

I would like to award automatically members who:

1. Created a topic that gets “Popular now”
2. Gives an answer that is highlighted as content with positive reputation

Follow-up. I do not know if it is related, but recently, I have noticed this warning in ACP:

Note: You do not see this warning unless you try to change something in the Advanced Settings.

I have (and had) no issues with tasks. They are all run without issues. This warning was shown, once I have tried to change some options in ACP on the page “Advanced settings”. The permissions are set now as required. The warning is not shown anymore.

As said above, I doubt this can be related to my issue. But in case, it is, I suggest this permission to be checked in Support section as well.

Physical items within store are on the deprecation list.

Thank you for clarifying! 

I use Commerce for subscriptions only. Store and Support are on the deprecation list. Question: can I disable the three modules in ACP that I do not need? And then still have my subscriptions run without issues?

 Thank you.

Just to illustrate, what I see in the database after I clear the system caches.

Some files miss the resouce_ filename. Those files are wiped out from the disc during clearing cache and not re-created. Even if resource_data contains the BLOB data for the files. When I re-upload the files via theme resources in IPS, then the column resource_filename is set and everything is good. Until I clear the cache next time.

Another files like default_photo or pattern are re-created, but in their previous version. It looks like the BLOB column resource_data has not been updated while uploading the files via theme resources.

You are not manually uploading them at all are you? 

No. As you can see on the screens above, I am using only theme resources to upload the files in IPS.

My administrator confirms there is no writing issues in the upload folder. He checked the permissions.

As I have stated above, we have no upload or writing issues in any other area of the site. No other folder inside uploads is affected.  The issue persists only when re-creating some files in set_resources_X folders. It happens after the button Clear system caches in ACP is clicked. Or if system caches are cleared automatically, e.g., during the update started from ACP.

I tend to think it is a database issue, however. Because of “reset”. The old files are generated from BLOBs, hence the BLOBs could not been created properly while uploading. The files are OK, that's why I have no issues till the cache is cleared. The second issue: the BLOBs cannot be read/get from the database to be recreated on the disc. In this case, I am missing the files.

I will contact my admin however to see if there is any issue with writing the files. But this would not explain, how my files are reset. 🤨 Additionally, we have an active site with daily attachments upload, gallery images, media uploads in Pages. We have no issues with writing these files. The issue is only with set_resources_X folders and some files inside them.
