    Member Map

    Users can optionally fine tune if they wish but having a rough location is better than no location. 

    I would see that for new users who join and populate the "location" field in the signup form that it automatically adds to member task.

    in addition an ACP task that can populate the map for all existing members where the location field has been populated.

    Any further comments / thoughts on the above?

    thanks.

    Mark as Sold

    in Marketplace

    Posted

    I didn't know that a version existed that @DawPi has developed either and I have searched the market place...

    To be honest, I find it difficult to discover iPB4 plugins on the Market Place since the new iPB 4.x website went live.

    Anyway, I have purchased the Mark as Sold, but I do not see "Members" in the configuration or groups.

    When I am signed in as standard regular member I do not see the "Mark as Sold" button.

    Is this something you have come across?

    But you also have to think about those users who don't want their public location exposed. Then this would have to be an opt-in feature, which is kind of pointless as it takes the same amount of time to manually add themselves. So I'm saying no to automatically put users on the map based on their IP address (which is a very inaccurate too). But it's definitely possible to add such a task with a plugin, so you're free to get a developer to make it for you.

     

    I would be willing to put some ££ into a pot for this if anyone else is interested.

    Yeah I think I've seen a few of those before. Might want to notify the mod authors so they can fix their update checkers.

    Already have - When I know a new version of an add on is available I will raise a support call with IPB.

    Do you have any notice of the updatecheck task failing? I know a few modders have broken update checkers which stops other apps from being checked.

    No, I even clicked the button in applications to check for updates and no notices on issues checking or to advise new versions available. 

    Auto Welcome Support

    Hi @Mike John

    I have been in discussions with IPB support as there is an issue with my website that is causing duplicate subscriptions to be created in Commerce when this add-on is enabled.

    The advise I have been given is to disable to plugin and reach out to the author.

    Below is the reply from IPB regarding my issue:

    Hi Pete,

    Thank you for providing that information. I have investigated the issue, and I believe the problem is with the "Auto Welcome" application you have installed.

    I will discuss with my colleagues strategies we can employ in future versions to prevent this sort of thing (a bug in a 3rd party app causing such an issue) happening in the future, but for now, I recommend disabling that application and contacting the author for a fix.

    I provide the following information so you can pass it on to the application author. If it doesn't make sense to you, don't worry - just pass it along to the application author who will know what I mean.

    • The user is passed back to the site from PayPal to a special gateway script: applications/nexus/interface/gateways/paypal.php
    • This script validates and processes the payment, and marks the transaction as paid.
    • It creates the purchase (this is the first one that gets created) which then tries moves the members account to the special group the user gets put in when they buy that item. At this point, a hook the application has on the \IPS\Member class which looks for any changes to a member's account. (this is why the issue wasn't happening for physical purchases, because they don't try to move the group which doesn't trigger the hook).
    • The hook attempts to call \IPS\Dispatcher::i() to determine if the user is in the Admin CP or the front-end. Because neither is true (the user is in the special gateway script) an exception is thrown which the hook does not catch.
    • This exception makes it all the way back to the gateway script which assumes the exception was in validating the payment and so redirects the user back to the checkout screen to display an error.
    • The checkout screen, seeing that the invoice has been paid in full but the purchases haven't been created, doesn't display the normal checkout screen and instead but starts the process again (creating a second purchase). This time, because the user is in the front-end, the hook doesn't trigger an error and so to the user, it appears that nothing has gone wrong.

    Once you have disabled the Auto Welcome, we can delete the extraneous purchases. I did a quick database query to generate a list of affected members.

    I hope that this makes sense to you and that you can provide a fix as it is a great plugin and wish to continue using it, however paid subscriptions are very important to me and my website.

    Thanks.

    Pete

    No :) 

    lol - ok appreciate your honesty - not really much in way of variety with this type of plugin in the market place but don't really don't want to commit to a purchase if I cannot get it to work the way I would like it to, that said I will have a look to see if I can present my content differently as it does seem like a great addon.

    Upgraded all working great!

    Would be great if there was a method to automatically take the location field data from the profile and place a marker on the map or a notice to encourage users to enter a location in the location map.
