I allowed these ips on my server's firewall and it fixed the issue:

https://code.google.com/archive/p/recaptcha/wikis/FirewallsAndRecaptcha.wiki

{ 216.239.32.0/19, 64.233.160.0/19, 66.249.80.0/20, 72.14.192.0/18, 209.85.128.0/17, 66.102.0.0/20, 74.125.0.0/16, 64.18.0.0/20, 207.126.144.0/20, 173.194.0.0/16 } 
 

I have renewed the 6mo license, and still getting 15k+ admin notifications about expiring and expired licenses in the admin area. (Also, why am I getting warned about a license that will expire in 6mo?)

Every admin page takes 30-60 seconds to download, or sometimes they just timeout. 

I have emptied the acp_notifications table in mysql, but these still show up. 

How can I get rid of them?

Thanks!

Hi @DawPi

It's been over a month, did you happen to make any progress? 

Thank you.

I also have to rebuild the search index (made with Elasticsearch) from time to time. This happens when the memory usage of our server was very high.

May I ask how big your SQL DB is? And how much memory you give to ES?

Thank you @CoffeeCake

is there a way to trigger the index rebuilt without logging in to the admin panel?

Thank you.
I have zero errors in my local ES logs and the only warnings I can see is from the elasticsearch_deprecation.log:

Is there a way to manually rebuild the last hour's content? Maybe a script to call?
I'd be happy to do that to make sure the users can see all the latest contents.

Hello, A moment ago I had rebuild the search index, because the correct search results for the topics did not appear. Only results of some contents appeared.

After Rebuild Search Index everything seems to work fine again. I'm using elasticsearch and it worked correctly. What can be happening to have to rebuild the index again?

Thanks.

@pequeno did you happen to find a fix for the issue? thanks in advance!

Hi @DawPi

Is there anything I can do to help with the debugging? 

TIA!

Thank you so much 🙂

Thank you.
So.. when I described what I want to achieve with the mod, Nathan told me it was possible, you did not correct him and even confirmed it:
"Edit choosen template to be used by group X. Then using my mod assign 'bots' to that group. That's all." 
it actually meant that I can only assign a specific theme to bots if it is already the default theme? 
Or did I misread something? 

Don't get me wrong, I still think is a good plugin (learned a few things from reading the source), but I'd greatly appreciate if you could demo your statement above on your demo board with any cloned skin. Thank you in advance. 

I did change the useragent in the browser, but the still the default skin came up, not the one I assigned to the Bot group.
I am using (DP44) Bot Group 2.0.0. 

Thanks and I get it is a built-in IPS4 requirement.

My issue is that for example Google Insight still shows the default theme instead of the Bot theme - so I am not sure how I can even verify that the plugin is working.

Quick question: 

will the 'Default Front-end Theme' setting override the group selection? 

I assigned the group bot in the plugin:

define( 'STORE_METHOD', 'Redis' ); // Use Redis for datastore
define( 'CACHE_METHOD', 'Redis' ); // Use Redis for caching

can I use mysql for sessions (for other SSO integration is based on that) and Redis for everything else like this?

define( 'REDIS_ENABLED', false); // Use Redis for sessions
define( 'OUTPUT_CACHE_METHOD', 'Redis' ); // Store guest pages in Redis
define( 'STORE_METHOD', 'Redis' ); // Use Redis for datastore
define( 'CACHE_METHOD', 'Redis' ); // Use Redis for caching

Thank you @bfarber, but are the devs selling their plugins via the marketplace forbidden to share their xml file? (Talking about PMs here, not other private exchanges.)

@bfarber

Could you please confirm whether devs are allowed to send the install xmls in private if I purchased a plugin?

Thank you in advance.

I have literally told you what you need to do...

1. Edit each of your themes
2. Remove your chosen group from the 'Available for' field for those themes that you don't want your chosen group to use
3. Add your chosen group to the 'Available for' field for the theme that you do want your chosen group to use

Thank you both. Have a great day!

It's standard feature of IPS4.

May I ask how? I don't want all guest visitors to have the plain theme, only the bots. 

Thank you in advance. 

20 hours ago, DawPi said:

Yes, this is what this mod doing.

Explain.

I want googlebot (and maybe other SE crawlers) to use a plain, almost text-only like theme so indexing is fast and efficient, while giving users a more heavy, feature and js rich theme for UX.

Edit all your themes except the 'barebone' one and disallow your group from using them. The edit that one theme, make sure your group is allowed to use it. Result: only allowed to use one theme.

So you can confirm it is feasible? Thank you! 🙂 

Can I assign a dedicated group to bots (with the group assigned to a single barebone theme) with this plugin? 

Thanks!

To do what you're trying to achieve, as of 4.5 your test install will need to be internet accessible. IPS will need to be able to connect to your install to complete the Marketplace login.

Your dev install (installed at localhost) does not need a key. You only need to use the -TESTINSTALL key on the internet accessible test install.

Testing things before deploying them in production is important, however with this change, the only supported way to do what you're trying to achieve is to maintain an internet accessible test installation, or to not rely on Marketplace and instead obtain the needed files from developers directly.

Thank you Paul. 

/I am trying to swallow how much more overhead work it is going to generate when doing any dev work that involves MP./

IMO that does not really work when I have a dynamic IP at home, and the locally managed domainname on the test VM is the same as my prod.
How is IPS going to validate my test install? By IP/public domainname/domain configured in ACP? How often does this check occur? Just when downloading from MP? 

Also, I am not comfortable opening up my test env to the whole internet, is there an IP list/range for IPS addresses that I can whitelist on my firewall? 

Cheers!

It is generally against license agreements to purchase a plugin or application and use it on more than one site. If the author of a resource does allow this, then you may be able to reach out to them and ask them for a copy of the resource once you've purchased it to install on another site. If you are speaking of test sites specifically, we have a special -TESTINSTALL key that you can use on your test site which will give you access to your resources purchased for your live site for a test installation.

I have been with IPB since around 2002 and I have a large, prod forum with a site built around it and have an internal test site that is used for development and testing (with the _TESTINSTALL key). 

Since the latter cannot be accessed via the internet, I cannot even log on to the MP from my dev site to install and test plugins before deploying them in production.

@bfarberCan you please advise how I can test the plugins I purchase (without them possibly messing up the prod env) before rolling out in prod? Please don't send me to the individual developers, I have been waiting for replies and the xml install files for weeks now. 

/Also, IMHO testing first in production is never good, I already had to restore DB from backup once./ 

If I could install from MP just by using my creds only and not the mandatory 'is the community accessible from internet by invision' checks, that would be a great solution too.

Thank you in advance. 

Is there a script, hidden ACP menu, plugin or workaround to rebuild the thumbnails for all the files in the Download section?

I just upgraded a site with about 600 files and even though 90% of them have images uploaded, barely 1/5 shows up on the download index page.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, found it:  the permission matrixes for the awards were blank. Once I manually reconfigured the permissions, the awards became visible. 

Can you pls point me where those permissions are stored? I'd rather save myself the effort of manually checking those boxes for all my 40 awards.

Thank you again! 

The inspector does not have broken images..
On a user's profile (who has 6 awards in the mysql table), the award page says

"There's nothing here yet."
