Thank you!
 

Correct.

Starting the process to rebuild achievements from ACP throws an error rebuilding a gallery album as promoted content.
The issue specifically happens in the file /applications/core/extensions/core/AchievementAction/ContentPromotion.php inside the function rebuildRow() on lines 249-255:
case 'core_social_promote': $promote = \IPS\core\Promote::load( $row['promote_id'] ); $promote->object()->author()->achievementAction( 'core', 'ContentPromotion', [ 'content' => $promote->object(), 'promotype' => 'promote' ] ); break; The problem in the code above is that when it hits a gallery album entry, which is a node, it tries to call \IPS\gallery\Album::author() which exists only in content items. The correct code for an album would be \IPS\gallery\Album::owner() instead.
 
This is the error's backtrace:
Error: Call to undefined method IPS\gallery\Album::author() (0) #0 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/applications/core/extensions/core/Queue/RebuildAchievements.php(141): IPS\core\extensions\core\AchievementAction\_ContentPromotion::rebuildRow(Array, Array) #1 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/system/Task/Task.php(47): IPS\core\extensions\core\Queue\_RebuildAchievements->run(Array, 103) #2 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/applications/core/tasks/queue.php(43): IPS\_Task::runQueue() #3 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/system/Task/Task.php(375): IPS\core\tasks\_queue->IPS\core\tasks\{closure}() #4 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/applications/core/tasks/queue.php(55): IPS\_Task->runUntilTimeout(Object(Closure)) #5 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/system/Task/Task.php(274): IPS\core\tasks\_queue->execute() #6 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/applications/core/modules/admin/settings/advanced.php(751): IPS\_Task->run() #7 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(107): IPS\core\modules\admin\settings\_advanced->runTask() #8 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/applications/core/modules/admin/settings/advanced.php(38): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute() #9 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(153): IPS\core\modules\admin\settings\_advanced->execute() #10 /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html/forum/admin/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run() #11 {main}  
 
As a temporary measure, I've replaced the code above with this one:
case 'core_social_promote': $promote = \IPS\core\Promote::load( $row['promote_id'] ); if ( $promote->object() instanceof \IPS\Gallery\Album ) { $promote->object()->owner()->achievementAction( 'core', 'ContentPromotion', [ 'content' => $promote->object(), 'promotype' => 'promote' ] ); } else { $promote->object()->author()->achievementAction( 'core', 'ContentPromotion', [ 'content' => $promote->object(), 'promotype' => 'promote' ] ); } break; Not the best fix though, so you'll probably want to implement something different. 😋

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the bug is still present in 4.7.7 Beta 3.

Glad to hear you're happy to be with us 🙂 .

I remember that release...

Good times.

Hi @gfhfstg,
It's disappointing to hear that a hosting service will not update to a supported version of PHP promptly. Anything before 8.0 is not supported any more, and 8.0 itself is only having security support for the next 8 months at the time of writing this post.
If you want a seamless experience and avoid the hassle of the backend altogether, definitely consider our Cloud.
There are plenty of articles about HostGator and their parent company at the moment. I would highly recommend reading up on them just for some background on why things like this are happening to their clients.

🍀 Welcome to this week's Invision Insight! 🍀

See you in the community and next week right here for another Invision Insight! I look forward to hearing from you all.
Thank you everyone! 🦘

JetBackup addon for cPanel only being $6/mo isn't bad at all for what it can do.  When you pair it with AWS S3 bucket its not bad since you don't get charged for what you put in the S3 bucket, just when you pull stuff out and I typically (knock on wood) don't have to restore often.

Something with the user registration broke on our website after we upgraded from IPS 4.7.5 to 4.7.6.
I'm proud to say that our host hostingsupremo.com just performed a successful JetBackup restore for us!

I initially created 3 different kinds going to Google AdSense > Ads > Overview > By Ad Unit > Display Ads
1. Height 75px horizontal below the page header using AdminCP > Advertisements

2. Big horizontal above the page footer using AdminCP > Advertisements

3. Big vertical block using AdminCP > Blocks

4. Auto-ads Experiments
Note: Auto-ads typically break the site. But if you wanted to run them to try to increase your revenue, I'd try Optimization > Experiments which would show Auto-ads to 1% to 50% of visitors (25% might be a good number) depending on how you configure Experiments > Auto optimize settings. When running an experiment the worst case scenario is that if pages aren't loading correctly refreshing would probably "fix" the problem.

Configuring ads on my site was a challenge, but one that I enjoyed as a learning experience. I've definitely thought about using subscriptions for ad removal, but haven't had the time to find out how to do that. Are there are any guides you'd recommend for creating an ad removal subscription?

Just got around to start using it for closed forums.
So far so good, easier to work with than changing members' groups.

I love that I can create Forum Rules in multiple languages. This allows me to have forums where anyone can write in English or Spanish and instead of having to duplicate information on a pinned topic I can display useful information on the Forum Rules.
I wish there was a way I could post on article on multiple languages. This would be fantastic for building a database where people could just switch the language and read the same article on a different language. As of now, I think the best alternative is to do something like adding a link saying "This is also available on x language" and then duplicate the article.

We have completed the integration that will check for subs and put them in a primary group or secondary group (if you have selected a primary group to be protected such as an admin)
Pretty close to having this available for 4.7 +

In acp support it shows a warning when IPS files have been changed. It would be nice to have an option to send an auto email alert when such things occur. Or if the forum has other health issues.
 

Happy Hump Day, team. 
I'm curious to know if you're utilizing the subscriptions feature in your community. 🤔  Or, at the very least, have you thought about it? Subscriptions feel exclusive and elevates the brand imo. 
I personally use a subscription component in my community. It offers members additional access, as well as an ad free experience, but it's not something I've leaned into as much as I'd like to. However, I love the potential of it and want to chat with you about it. 
It might be a good time to strategize using subscriptions as businesses figure out how to navigate through the topsy-turvy markets and unpredictability nature of the global economy. 
There are a ton of benefits to having a subscription element in your community. Here's some marketing jargon explaining the benefits:
 
VIPs: Subscribing members can unlock restricted areas of the community and receive added benefits. 🤩 
  Reward: Highlight your subscribing members with exclusive badges, outlined replies and vibrant signatures. 🏆 
  Recurring revenue: Subscriptions provide stable and predictable income, an essential ingredient for business growth. 💰 
  Builds loyalty: Your fans and customers want to support you. Give them the opportunity to by consistently showing up for them and building that trust. hold 🙌 
  Boosts brand image: Offering another facet to your company illustrates you understand the importance of community exclusivity. 😎 
  Provides direct access: Paying subscribers cut to the front of the line. 🤵‍♂️🤵‍♀️
  Offer incentives: Give paying subscribers additional perks like exclusive access, additional privileges, an exclusive newsletter, merch and more. 🎈 
TL;DR: 

 
As always, here is a list of updates from our devs in the last seven days. Nicely done!
 
Let me know what you think about subscriptions in the comments!
PS - while I've got you, please read and comment on our new blog post about our simple theme editor!
 

Nice! I'd recommend putting your ad code in the Advertisements section in your ACP. De-select your subscribers group from those ads and voila! When they become a subscriber, and are automatically moved into the subscriber group, they won't see ads. 💸

Thank you for sharing 🙂

Creating a community has so many awesome benefits to your business, however there are certainly times where the going gets tough. Every community leader runs into pain points during their community building journey; it's totally normal (and even an expected part of the process).
A few of these pain points could include:
Low engagement Lack of content Trouble finding good moderators Bringing an idea or concept to life I know for me in my own community, one of my biggest hurdles is feeling like there's not enough time in the day (or year 😝) to accomplish all the things I want to. I think that's a good thing, but still... it's a difficult pill to swallow sometimes and that's OK. 
Feel free to share some struggles you're currently facing and perhaps myself & our community members can weigh in to help or offer some advice. 😀
